A Title By Any Other Name

A friend of mine had a car window sticker with a phrase I had never heard before - "They Might Be Giants." I didn't know if he was referring to his automobiles (two Toyota RAV4s and an object under a car cover), parts of his life, his friends, the situation in Lilliput or the bacteria that lives in hairspray.

Turns out he was showing his enthusiasm for a musical performance group that makes comedic children artwork out of sound and videos.

Here's an example of their style of humour:
