Song title: 'Til my Head Falls Off
Artist: They Might Be Giants
Year: 1996
Why I like this song:
I do enjoy They Might Be Giants. It may be easy to say that for their goofy/witty lyrics but get past that and one can see that John and John are capable of writing some snappy pop tunes. And this is one such example.
There's a lot going for this song. The spiky guitars, the organ and the bass solo midway through. However it takes a special kind of genius to take such a nutty chorus - "And I'm not done and I won't be 'til my Head fall off!" - and extract some kind of defiance out of it.
