They Might Be Giants is one of my favorite bands of all time, and over the past few years they've made some really top-notch kids' albums, each of which I make sure to buy for my nephew. The newest one is called Here Comes Science , and the song above is called "Electric Car." I love the recycled papercraft animation style.

Husband and wife team Max Porter & Ru Kuwahata of Tiny Inventions created this music video for They Might Be Giants. It will be included on their Here Comes Science DVD.

Here Comes Science is a new album of science-related children’s songs by They Might Be Giants. The dvd that is included with the package offers an animated short for each of the nineteen songs.

Is They Might Be Giants’ video for the song Electric Car the embodiment of tepid, jelly-spined, irritatingly cheesy, out-of-touch, mumblecore-loving liberalism, or is it wonderfully brilliant? I can’t quite tell.

Their song “Istanbul (Not Constantinople)” was actually a cover, but I’d guess that their version is the one that sticks in your head.
