MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

On February 22nd, 1990

This song was gaining radio airplay
and would eventually climb to No. 3
on Billboard’s Modern Rock chart.

They Might Be Giants.

“Birdhouse in Your Soul.”

(Music Cut #2)

Here’s a song that somehow combines
Greek mythology,
home appliances,
and complicated music theory…

into a Top 10 hit.

And yes . . .
it’s written from the perspective
of a blue canary-shaped nightlight.

(Music Cut #3)

The band eventually started selling
actual blue canary nightlights
on their website…

because of this song.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“I’m your only friend, I’m not your only friend
But I’m a little glowing friend…” — They Might Be Giants
