Patriotic music for MoveOn.org
Great interview with They Might Be Giants from Wired Magazine, about the a compilation album of patriotic songs they've put together to benefit MoveOn.org. TMBG recorded a cover of "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" for the disc!
We did an electronic version of a song from the 1840s called "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too." It was originally used during the Harrison-Van Buren presidential race, and it's really harsh, like a drinking song. It was the very first hip campaign song! Lots of the music on the compilation was recorded specifically for the album, and all of it will be new material.Link
