On the They Might Be Giants dial-a-song service (which I call pretty much every day,) they’ve occasionally played a song they apparently wrote for a newlywed couple that they don’t know very well; friends of friends, I’m assuming. The couple is Ben and Lisa, and the song starts out with birds chirping and then John sings, “Ben and Lisa, hi. We kinda know you guys…” Then it goes on to offer advice for making a happy marriage work.
It’s such a sweet song! However, I have all their albums and EPs and some obscure stuff I found on Napster before they were busted down to a corporate tool, but I don’t have this one. It’s a bouncy, feel-good love song with a quick beat and major chords, and I want a copy. Does anyone have any idea what the story is behind this song? And where I can get it for my very own? I don’t even know the title; all I know is what I’ve told you. Anyone with any inside info on this will be my friend for life! (Unless you piss me off, of course…)
