I'm going down to Cowtown, the cow's a friend to me
Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be
Beneath the waves, the waves, and that's where I will be
I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea
The yellow Roosevelt Avenue leaf overturned
The ardor of arborreality is an adventure we have spurned
We've spurned a new leaf overturned
It's a new leaf overturned
And so I'm going down to Cowtown, the cow's a friend to me
Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be
Beneath the waves, the waves, and that's where I will be
I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea
We yearn to swim for home but our only home is bone
How sleepless is the egg knowing that which throws the stone
Foresees the bone, the bone, our only home is bone
Our only home is bone
And so I'm going down to Cowtown, the cow's a friend to me
Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be
Beneath the waves, the waves, and that's where I will be
I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea
Yes, I'm going down to Cowtown, the cow's a friend to me
Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be
Beneath the waves, the waves, and that's where I will be
I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea
Yes, I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea
| Typesbad (Not quite Orange County CA) | Posted: Nov 25, 2008 - 17:39 Another request for Ana Ng. I only have it on casette somewhere, and we all know how useful they are anymore. |
| vivakitty (The Girl Who Wrecks Your Dreams) | Posted: Sep 23, 2008 - 12:44 Yes! Yes! Yes! More TMBG please! I'm particularly fond of this album and Flood. "I've Got a Match" and "Ana Ng" are two favorites off this album. |

It should remind you of that, since it's one of the samples in the song. I dig these guys, they have a sense of humor that's seriously lacking in music today. I was surprised to hear this particular tune on RP. Nice! We need "For All The Cows" by Foo Fighters after this one (although that might be too "hard" for Bill). EDIT: Dana Lyons' "Cows With Guns" came on next. COW BLOCK! |
| poser | Posted: Sep 23, 2008 - 12:43 Awesome. |
| window (Richmond, VA) | Posted: Sep 23, 2008 - 12:43 Outstanding! |
| songbirdfemme (syracuse ny) | Posted: Sep 23, 2008 - 12:41 O.M.G... NO WAY!!!! This brings me back, and I wish there were a rating that meant FUNTOWN |

Reminds me of a woman screaming in a b-movie horror flick. Hey Wolf, maybe you need to consider the whole oeuvre(sp?) of this group before judging. They are so inventive and funny. Please give them another chance.... |
| Wolf825 (New York) | Posted: May 20, 2008 - 09:17 Sucks. Reminds me of a woman screaming in a b-movie horror flick. |

No, you want noise, listen to Merzbow. This isn't noise, it's just sophomoric elementary school marching music. |
| jhorton | Posted: Apr 18, 2008 - 21:30 Have I crossed into a parallel universe where noise somehow translates into music? This is the worst piece of crap I have ever heard. Have I made myself clear? |
| natural_tools (Dallas, TX) | Posted: Mar 18, 2008 - 14:44 How odd... of all the great TMBG songs out there, you pick this one? |
| helene | Posted: Jan 15, 2008 - 10:33 One of the greatest groups in history, and the song is not one of the usual! I love it! |
| Kristi (Athens, GA) | Posted: Jan 15, 2008 - 10:27 TMBG is simply too fun for anyone to dislike. Thanks, Bill!! |
| jbettencourt | Posted: Jan 15, 2008 - 10:25 Yes! yes! More TMBG! |

I think we could use some more TMBG here. Strangely enough I think we have been hearing quite a bit of TMBG in the last few days... not that I don't like it, but it is weird. |
| laozilover (Left of Chicago and up.) | Posted: Jul 09, 2006 - 17:12 Great four-fer! 
5:05 pm - They Might Be Giants - Cowtown 5:00 pm - Dana Lyons - Cows With Guns 4:57 pm - Warren Zevon - Lawyers, Guns And Money 4:51 pm - Ry Cooder - The Very Thing That Makes You Rich

Good choices.

You know, sea cows. |
| Tarquin (Orlando, FL) | Posted: May 14, 2004 - 09:46 My 6-year-old loves this and many other TMBG songs. I always thought they should do a kids' album. Then I found out they did. And ironically, it seems like my little girl prefers the non-kid songs. |
| JamieR (Sacramento, CA) | Posted: May 14, 2004 - 09:45 LOVE IT!!!! |
| Rampant_Gecko (Vancouver, BC) | Posted: Apr 05, 2004 - 18:20 Okay, it is now time for Ana Ng, followed by Birdhouse in your Soul. Come on... we've broken the TMBG barrier! Keep them coming! You know, I love how BIll sets up these playlists. Dana Lyons - Cows with Guns came on right afterwards. Absoutely marvellous!!! A good 10 minutes of laughing for me! If you haven't donated, good god, this guy deserves it from you. Thanks Bill!!!! |
| ottonorse (Chico, CA) | Posted: Apr 05, 2004 - 18:18 guess you have to have it all....but can't we have it all-TMBG? |
| Art_Carnage (DeepintheheartofTexas) | Posted: Feb 07, 2004 - 10:34 Wonderful song! The irony of TMBG is that have a song about a guy who only had 2 good songs in him, and he just wrote #3. Likewise, TMBG just had 3 good albums in them, but they keep making more. |
| Isobel (The Shoals, AL) | Posted: Jan 17, 2004 - 14:35 aaaaah yes this is....Radio Paradise! I almost cried when I heard this. I agree ... please play MORE TMBG! |
