I was thinking that if I did this poll, "other" would win by a landslide, since TMBG have so many songs. But then I realized I wouldn't know until I tried. So here it is.

Dear Mr. Flansburgh,

Odd question, but are there any songs with Linnell falsetto? I mean, in the past I saw a live performance of "E eats everything" from 2005 that showcased this feat.

Thanks again.

Sincerely Banks

JF: hmm. I don't know of John singing falsetto...

Some TMBG highlights from last night (along with some prime stage banter). IT'S BEEN WORTH THE 2 YEARS WAIT FOR THIS SHOW!!

Hey John! As a trans masculine person I really like and relate to the song How Can I Sing Like A Girl, and I was just wondering what your original intent for the song was and if you could share? Thank you!

JF: thank you. I would say in the abstract it is just about being afraid of sharing one’s self expression and feeling imprisoned by the anxiety of social rejection or bullying. Expressions like “throw like a girl” were typical in hazing when I was a kid in the suburbs of Boston when I also had long hair (which wasn’t appreciated by everybody). There was a kinda crude garage rock song by a long-haired Boston band named the Barbarians called Are You A Boy or Are You A Girl? that protested their harassment, and while it’s really a dumb song it was such a piece of my childhood, I think about it all the time.

One of the nice things about writing songs is that they can be both very personal and still reach other folk in a direct way. The issues non-binary people face are something I’ve been aware of for a long time. I knew just the title alone would engage a lot of people, so in a sense putting the song together was also an expression of my empathy for people in the LGBTQ community. I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: trans right are human rights.

Ok, I have to weigh in. JL: Ravenclaw (wisdom, wit) Flans: Slytherin (charming, bold) Danny: Gryffindor (brave — e.g., when he removed the stage jumper from the stage, Boston 2015) Marty: Hufflepuff (good-hearted, hard-working, passionate) Dan: Gryffindor (playful, funny — e.g., egg roll, Volcano Licks)

You back it up and I respect that.

@forktailfarmer may I offer you a nice vintage post?

Edit: I think I completely misunderstood your request 😅 I’m off to hunt for egg roll references now

[twentythousandmillion]

Oh, right! “Egg roll” is from the beginning of this video:
