The song is about a night-light shaped like a blue canary that watches over the person who owns it. The night-light sings to the person and asks them to make a little birdhouse in their soul, meaning to keep a place for it in their heart. The night-light also tells some stories about its origins and its views on the world. The song is whimsical and catchy, with a lot of wordplay and references to Greek mythology, Longines Symphonette, and Jason and the Argonauts.

@fan123casual8 Год назад

As said, it’s a night lite - spelled lite. Opposit the nightlite is a painting of a lighthouse. The lite mentions that while serving similar functions, he would be fired if his job was to keep sailors safe. Jason and the Argonauts were the most famous sailors in Greek Mythology. And “Not to put too fine a point on it” is just a common figure of speech that means something like “sorry if I’m over-explaining, but I think you get what I’m saying “. A fine (sharp) point like a freshly sharpened pencil.

@artomatt Год назад

Since 1986 They Might Be Giants have released 23 albums! The most recent in 2021. I think that includes a few albums meant for children, but they are prolific none the less. I find their songs kinda hit or miss, but there are many I love. I keep going back to listen to "Brontosaurus" (it's on youtube, but no video).

In the 90s the Giants played a free concert in Union Square in San Francisco. I had class that day. I skipped class. It was worth it! The Giants fall into the same Technicolor suburban revolt that spawned other bands like R.E.M. and The B-52s also. A little Punk. A sprinkle of New Wave. A dash of Jon Waters. A deep injection of sideshow geek. Strange lyrics and relaxed glee fueled music.

They Might Be Giants is a very great and silly group that has usually been relagated to the label of "College Rock." They've been around for over 40 years, and have 23 albums. They had an episode of Tiny Toon Adventures where the Toons did a rip-off of MTV, and all the videos were songs from the band. Mostly, if you're a fan, and you know, you know. Kind of like Tool.

TMBG song lyrics are usually more than just silly. I think that Brad would especially enjoy puzzling over the various possible interpretations of many of their songs. The lyrics are quite often very clever, and the tunes catchy. Definitely have the lyrics handy for the next TMBG song you do. I suggest "Ana Ng" or "She's an Angel".

@chacotaco8045 Год назад

"not to put too fine a point on it, say I'm the only bee in your bonnet"... It's a nightlight singing about watching over a "little one" as they sleep, talking about how it protects them as they sleep, and longs to be the kids best and only friend ("only bee in your bonnet"). Pull up the lyrics and re-listen from the perspective of a little night-light plugged into the wall outlet and it will make more sense.

"Not to put too fine a *point* on it" is an expression. Perhaps it's not used much by young people, but I'm surprised you haven't heard it. It means more or less that someone is about to tell you exactly what they think in a direct, concise way. They Might Be Giants' Flood is the first album I ever bought with my own money. Not to put too fine a point on it, they're one of my all-time favorite bands.
