The lyrics to the opening song of the funniest show on TV....just because

[GBShorts]

Call me ignorant-I was unaware there were other verses!

Leave it to They Might Be Giants to come up with a downright comedic song.

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace!

hehehe.

Too bad they "borrowed" that one.

Anyway, can't wait for the next season of that show. Thanks for sharing all the lyrics!

It's They Might Be Giants? I thought it was Barenaked Ladies.

They "borrowed" that line? Where did they get it? Is it from another song?

This song in question is a "Barenaked Ladies" song. They are also Canadian. A lot of their lyrics have Canadian humour in them.

Oops. My mistake I think I assumed because the voices sounded familiar it was TMBG since they had done songs as intros for other shows.

The sun is a mass line (and in fact, the text of the entire song) is borrowed from an old filmstrip real TMBG saw in school.

Thousand humblest apologies. I KNEW the voices sounded familiar. I love BNL too. Have probably since the late 90's when a college friend from BC introduced me to them. That makes it just as cool that it's them!

I've never seen the show, when read I read the lyrics I assumed it was They Might be Giants. But I can see Barenaked Ladies doing it instead.

What is most impressive is that I can sing that song from beginning to end without looking at any of the lyrics!

Call me sad!

No apology necessary! The sun line is from a different song, right?

Kevin, I love those lyrics and the TV show is not bad, but the lyrics to the best show ever on TV is;

""Hey baby, I hear the blues a-callin',
Tossed salad and scrambled eggs ..."
