They Might Be Giants - Au Contraire Lyrics
David Bowie came to town
Flying overhead
"Don't you dig my chops?" he cried
This is what they said
Au contraire, Dave
As it happens, au contraire
Au contraire, mon frere
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Knew not what to do
"This tie clashes with my hat," he cried
"Don't you think that's true?"
Au contraire, Delano
Hate to rain on your parade
Au contraire, mon frere
Jodie Foster held two pair
Bach had three of a kind
Gandhi said, "With my full house,
I will blow your mind!"
Au contraire, Mahatma
Hate to contradict you, but
As it happens, au contraire
Au contraire, yes au contraire
And au contraire, you square
Wash that notion from your hair
If you're still there, I must declare
That au contraire, mon tres
Bon frere
Right on! Right on! Right on! Right on! Right on! Right on! Right on! Right on! Right on!
Right on. Right on.
Right on!

They Might Be Giants Au Contraire Comments
And they say that Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover...
Hey Apple, you are everywhere!
Talk about major earworm infection! "Franklin Delano Roosevelt knew not what to do..."
Where do they get their huge mental repository of cultural, historical and scientific references? Not to mention their sweeping knowledge of musical styles...they are unrecognized geniuses, with over 1500 songs when you include Dial-a-Song. They tour constantly, have families, and must eat and sleep sometimes. How do they keep it up?
I want to know their health regimens.
1. they're nerds.
2. They probably read a lot.
Peaceful lives with positive reinforcement.
Right on!
Right on.
Their absurd work is the best. The songs where after all these years, I don't know what to make of it any more than the first time I heard it.
My favorite band mentions my favorite solo singer. Awesome
YOU TOO -not too many people have heard Mahatma Gandhi's solo work... does a hella cover of, "All along the watch tower" by Jimmy Hendrix!
Au Contraire, Delano!
Au Contraire you square
Wash that notion from your hair.
And if you're still there, i must declare
Au contraire, mon très! Bon frère....
