Wanna feel like you did in Jr. High when you first heard “They Might Be Giants”?

Every single song I have listened to thus far has been awesome, but the “Baby Got Back” cover made me pee my pants a little.

The philisophical question this discovery poses is the following: Are these songs proof that PoMo is alive and well, or that it has just decomposed the elements of culture into a fertile peat where the genuinely silly and clever can once again flourish? Has the self-referential and requisite cynicism of art gone from being it’s reason to being itself something to mock, like “a snake head eating the head on the opposite side”?

Then again, some things are just “happy.”
