They Might Be Giants - Rhythm Section Want Ad Lyrics

Prose only...🤣🙈

I got to see/hear this play live once - the best

Laugh hard, it's a long way to the bank!

Muérete, perra.

In a world we call our home there's lots of room to roam
Plenty of time to turn mistakes into rhyme
There's a place for those who love their poetry
It's just across from the sign that says, "Pros only"
So if you like a band with a chick singer,
Say your cup of tea is a wall of trombones
If you dig Menudo, or M-D-C we salute you the way we know
For every one with dollar signs in his eyes
There must be hundreds who look at you as if you're some kind of
Rhythm section want ad
No others need apply to the rhythm section want ad
I'll tell you why
Hats off to the new age hairstyle made of bones
Hats off to the use of hats as megaphones
Speak softly, drive a Sherman tank
Laugh hard, it's a long way to the bank
Do you sing like Olive Oyl on purpose
You guys must be into the Eurythmics
For every one with dollar signs in his eyes
There must be hundreds who look at you as if you're some kind of
Rhythm section want ad
No others need apply to the rhythm section want ad
And here's the reason why
Hats off to the new age hairstyle made of bones
Hats off to the use of hats as megaphones
Speak softly, drive a Sherman tank
Laugh hard, it's a long way to the bank
Do you sing like Olive Oyl on purpose
You guys must be into the Eurythmics
For every one with dollar signs in his eyes
There must be hundreds who look at you as if you're some kind of
Rhythm section want ad
No others need apply to the rhythm section want ad
And here's the reason why
Rhythm section want ad
No others need apply to the rhythm section want ad
And here's the reason why
Why
Why

My life in a nutshell : "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO" 1:40

That little rendition of Powerhouse on the accordion was excellent

Who came for Powerhouse?

That and a good song

Theory: "Doctor Worm" is a response to the "Rhythm Section Want Ad."

He likes to play the drums.

mind.
blown.

Yes! Yessss!!

As a high school trombone player, TMBG was absolutely my cup of tea.

Also, hats should be used as megaphones at every possible opportunity.

Well, there's no denying that 1:10 was based on "Powerhouse"...

bought this album when I was 12, stayed up all night jumping around jamming to it, I still have the whole thing memorized, great energy.  my seven year old daughter is now jumping around the house jamming to it.  must be in the blood.

In the blood and in the tunes!!!

They Might Be Giants song that's about They Might Be Giants.

Captain Stewpid i love your profile pic

DO YOU SING LIKE OLIVE OIL ON PURPOSE?  You guys must be in to the Eurhymics!

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

That bass is so catchy

I sing this song all the time to myself. Its hard to sing fast but practicing over the last 20 years or so has helped! Thanks Johns....

Break this one out in Brooklyn this summer! Definitely an underrated favorite.

Out of all the TMBG oldies, I think this is the one I want to hear live the most.

love this one! thanks for uploading!

There must be hundreds
