the end of the concert. Except, she hasn't given me a cpoy of it, but her
e-mail address is LEB...@psuvm.psu.edu Just e-mail her and she will copy

That would be "Maybe I Know" by Leslie Gore ("An old song we didn't write"):
Maybe I know that she's been a-cheatin'
Maybe I know that she's been untrue
But what can I do?
I hear them whispering as I walk by
"She's gonna break his heart and make him cry"
I know it's me they're talkin' about
I guess they all think I'll never find out
Oh-oh-oh-oh ...
Maybe I know that she's been a-cheatin'
Maybe I know that she's been untrue
But what can I do?
My friends keep tellin' me that she's no good
She isn't treatin' you the way she should
I feel so badly, that's all I can say
Before my tears fall I just walk away
Oh-oh-oh-oh ..
Maybe I know that she's been a-cheatin'
Maybe I know that she's been untrue
But what can I do?
Deep down inside she loves me
Though she may run around
I know someday she'll love me
Someday she'll settle down
Maybe I know that she's been a-cheatin'
Maybe I know that she's been untrue
But what can I do?

Well, you FIGURE they wouldn't be able to have a "Stump The Band" Sequence..
Especially considering what a mess that concert was, people wise.
I showed up at the Esplanade at 10am, and got center "row" front. I brought
two chairs; what a fiasco THAT was.
Did you see me there? I was wearing a cow suit.
I personally enjoyed being able to say hi to the drummer, who was walking
through the crowd COMPLETELY unrecognized about an hour before the show.
During the concert, the inevitable Boston "I'll mosh to ANYTHING" madness
went crazy; I had brought my art supplies and whipped up a sign that said
"Just say NO to "Pass the Dude"", which is what J&J call the act of lifting
up guys and passing them around.
Oh, and to help with the "Stump the Band"....
On their first date as a band, in Northhampton, Ma, they played "Feelings".
At Avalon, in Boston, in October, they player two shows; the afternoon
show they played "I will Survive", from Satruday Night Fever. Flansburgh
sang that one and peppered it with Flansisms like "And you said all that
other stuff about the other stuff". The Evening show, they played "We Got
the Beat" by the Go-Gos, which Linell sang, thank god.

Oh, and on my MUSH, TinyTIM, at Control.Spies.com 5440, you can play in
They Might Be Giants Land. Type "32" from our Nexus.

Goodness. I think I was one of the two people who knew the words at
our show. The audience was *immensely* disappointing -- no one seemed
even to know they'd produced anything before FLOOD, and those who did
were familiar only with LINCOLN.

Actually, it's just made up of pieces of other, more famous palindromes,
notably "Able I was, ere I saw Elba." (Napoleon's lament.)

I can guess it! Me! Me! Me! It's what is sung in the background after
the palindrome bridge (only a word palindrome) of "I Palindrome I"
See the spring of the grandfather clock unwinding

So? There aren't really any "original" palindromes around anymore, in
that sense, since there are only so many palindromic words in the
language. This seems to me just as original as any other.
