We're The Replacements - They Might Be Giants Song Analysis

Support us!: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/sh...

Hi, we're Don't Let's Start: A Podcast About They Might Be Giants! Your hosts are Jordan Cooper (who edits all these videos) and Dave Fox (who does the art for them.)

This clip is from Episode 13: MISCELLANEOUS T - Part 3: Flowers Die And So Will I, part of our lengthy discussion of every song off of the fan beloved b-side compilation of songs from the 80s, Miscellaneous T.

In this segment we explore how We're The Replacements is both about and not about The Replacements, as well as its intrinsic hit single qualities.

We also listen to some Replacements songs that may have inspired the TMBG song, and discuss the perils of performing live, as captured in this very song.

Featuring interview and live clips of John Linnell and John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants discussing and performing the song!
