[edit] NO!
Hi Nathew!
Regarding "NO!": Have you ever listened to the CD? Apart from "Where do they make balloons" and possibly "John Lee Supertaster" and at a stretch maybe "the middle" and "half past two", they can't be listened to safely more than twice by even a normal adult. Try listening to "violin" twice in rapid succession and tell me again that it isn't pure children's music. Remember, Disney movies are "for the whole family", but most normal adults (except parents with small kids) simply gag at the level of kitch. "For the whole family" generally means "for kids". And it does say "NO! is for children" on the CD cover. --Slashme 05:35, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
- They tell NPR it's a children's record:Why children's music? The two Johns --- Flansburgh and Linnell -- explain that TMBG's music already sounded child-like with its simplicity and energy. "There's always been the thing about the spirit of They Might Be Giants as a band that is very childlike . . . Making a children's album seemed like a natural," says Flansburgh.
- the TMBG FAQ says: They Might Be Giants are slated to release No!, an album of songs for children in spring of 2001.
- No stranger to the realm of children's records, They Might Be Giants have seen success with their CD No! and the book and CD combo Bed, Bed, Bed.
- Sure, this is their first officially designated "kids" album.
- They Might Be Giants triumphantly return to the kids' section, following up the success of their No! CD
- While They Might Be Giants' clever, playful melodies and lyrics make their music nearly ideal listening for kids anyway, their first children's album, No!, is one of their most dizzying and delightful in years.
OK, so I got "four of two" wrong. I must admit that I don't like "NO!" much. I have "where do they make balloons" and "John Lee Supertaster" on my playlist, but the CD itself is sitting on my shelf collecting dust. And it's not that I don't like silly little TMBG tracks. I have all the "fingertips" tracks on my playlist, and I think they're great. I liked "Minimum wage" the first time I heard it.
The next question is where I got the idea that somewhere on the CD it has the quote "NO! is for children". I'll have to drag out the CD and have a good look at it!

[edit] Image:TMBG-early promo photo.jpg
I have listed this image on Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because it does not meet the guidelines for the {{Promotional}} tag. The tag itself atates that the image has been "released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit." This would mean that it came from either an ad, or from something specifically distributed by TMBG themsleves like their website, or a newsletter. The source you provided pretty much ignores copyright itself, and only provides a list of people who found or scanned images for them. If you can find the original source that would be great. If you would like to dispute this claim, by all means do so on WP:PUI! —User:ACupOfCoffee@ 00:59, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi there.
You are more than welcome to take the article over to deletion review, you can even request the article be temporarily restored. Just a couple minutes following the instructions is all you need. I just ask that you please note that CSD A7 was my reason for deletion, the reference to MUSIC was so that someone could brush up on guidelines. MUSIC was not my criteria. I have no problem with anyone requesting a review of any of my actions. Thanks for contacting me! Teke (talk) 03:04, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hey man, if you can write up a nice new article on them with sources and whatnot, by all means go for it. Just because it was deleted once doesn't mean it can't be recreated. DRV is if you want that specific version back. Start a new article, there's no rule against it :) Teke (talk) 04:02, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
