Song of the Day 72!!!

I'm starting to slack in my postings! Shame on me. Anyway, I was thinking what I should put for this edition and thought to myself that it should be something I have liked for a really long time. Today's song I have liked since I was 3. My parents were/are pretty awesome. Especially when it came to music. I grew up with the classics like The Beatles, Jethro Tull, and Queen from my dad and I got the modern (for the late 80's early 90's) goodies from my mom like INXS, George Harrison's later stuff, and this band, They Might Be Giants. Oh my god, when my mom played any of their albums, everyone in my family would sing along. The first TMBG album I remember was 1990's Flood, which included today's song: "Birdhouse In Your Soul". The song is weird, yet catchy, and the video is exactly the same. So, let me send you back to 1990 and enjoy!!!

P.S. I highly recommend their learning albums for children. (hint: they are awesome even for adults)



Im your only friend
Im not your only friend
But Im a little glowing friend
But really Im not actually your friend
But I am

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say Im the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
Its a simple message and Im leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me
Filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary one note spelled l-i-t-e
My storys infinite
Like the longines symphonette it doesnt't rest

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say Im the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Im your only friend
Im not your only friend
But Im a little glowing friend
But really Im not actually your friend
But I am

There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
Id be fired if that were my job
After killing jason off and countless screaming argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels it's always near

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say Im the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

(and while you're at it
Keep the nightlight on inside the
Birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say Im the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it)
Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say Im the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it)
Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say Im the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
