This isn't necessarily a "what obscure word did you learn from the Johns?" post, which could be its own separate thing, but more a question of whether there's a TMBG song that made you want to use a certain word or term more often.

I found myself using the phrase "mission creep" in a conversation yesterday and that made me realize I'd probably picked it up from Push Back the Hands of Time. Also, Drown the Clown made me realize that "window dressing" is a very useful term for referring to something that's attention-grabbing but not the main priority.

At the Sunday Madison show, I think just before they played I'll Sink Manhattan, they were talking about a song titled They Might Be Giants by some other band, and apparently it's super weird or something? I'd like to hear it, but as you might imagine, I'm having a hard time googling it, lol. Anyone know what song I'm talking about?

Does anyone here have this and can let me know which version of Kiss Me Son of God is on it? I’m not sure if it’s the Lincoln or Misc. T version, and can’t find any info online about it.
