Ana Ng by They Might Be Giants



One of the best geek-rock anthems ever about impossible love, from They Might Be Giants' brilliant album Lincoln. No other band could get away with cramming these words into a refrain without coming off as unintentionally hokey (you must listen to the song while reading the lyrics, I command it):

Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow
of each other's majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say
if there was a me for you


Year: 1988
Rating: Hot!

  1. I love, love, love, that song. But I always thought it was a metaphor for US relations with China.
