Great science/edutainment songs & videos by TMBG

I don’t know why it’s coming to my attention now, as I’m usually interested in They Might Be Giants projects, but I completely missed Here Comes Science (2009), and I think it’s some of the best stuff aimed at kids to general interest.

Sorry if this is old news, but I particularly love this one… Meet the Elements.

iTunes has the whole album as songs and their respective animations for $15.

Yeah, I love Here Comes Science. Not only is it their best kids album, I think it’s one of their best albums in general in recent times.

Also, non-kids album “Join Us” comes out July 19th.

Sweet!

I bought “NO!” for the kids when it came out, I thought that was pretty great too. The last actual album I bought/listened to was The Else.

(Also, I didn’t mean to limit this thread to They Might Be Giants… any other suggestions for the same sort of thing would be cool.)

I can’t resist a TMBG thread!

Here is a video of them performing the song live in the studio during their Science Friday appearance: http://www.sciencefriday.com/program/archives/200909256
