MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1 – opening of “The Statue Got Me High”)

We’re sticking with the weird side of the ’90s.

On March 24th of 1992…

They Might Be Giants released their fourth album—

Apollo 18.

(Music Cut #2 – hook for “The Statue Got Me High”)

Yes – the album was named after the canceled mission.

AND – the band was even named NASA’s “musical ambassadors” that year.

(Music Cut #3 – “Fingertips”)

But the strangest part is how the album ends.

The final track isn’t one song.

It’s 21 tiny tracks –

some just a few seconds long –

They called it:

“Fingertips.”

(Music Cut #4 – “Fingertips”)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Something grabbed ahold of my hand
I didn’t know what had my hand
But that’s when all my troubles began.” – TMBG “Fingertips”
