‘Thinking Machine’, A New They Might Be Giants Dial-A-Song Track That Asks ‘What Does It Mean?’

For the 15th week of their year-long Dial-A-Song project (previously), They Might Be Giants present “Thinking Machine”, a nonsensical song that repeatedly asks, “what does it mean?” The accompanying video was directed by David Cowles and Jeremy Galante. Like the other songs of the project, the track will also be featured on the band’s upcoming record, Glean.

gurb long trom flom dim fim lim
pretty sure that’s gibberish
dog dog dog dog dog dog dog
now you’re just repeating the word “dog”
what does it mean?
what does it mean?
I’ll put it in my thinking machine
