(She Was A) Hotel Detective:They Might Be Giants

Artist: They Might Be Giants

Album: They Might Be Giants, 1985 Demo Tape

Appears On (Mixes): Obligatory Mix Vol. 1

Song Notes: The third single from the self-titled album, this is a version taken from the 1985 Demo Tape, which is much, much stranger. The backing track is more or less the same (it's almost the exact same runtime as the single mix, even), but the vocal track is a bit.... different. Instead of being delivered relatively straight like on the record, it's sung in these weird almost-on-the-verge-of-scared-tears voices. And it's pretty awesome because of it. Check it out. You probably won't put this one into high rotation, but it's pretty cool to have. -Rev. Syung Myung Me
