They Got Lost is a rarities compilation album by the group They Might Be Giants. It was issued in 2002 (see 2002 in music) in the USA and 2005 in the UK. It was available through online order several years before it went into general release. Several tracks were previously featured on Dial-A-Song and the associated Web site. Some were produced for various side projects, such as a Robert Krulwich TV special on science ("All Alone", a sea shanty-like song about a bacterium transported to the Moon by Surveyor 3); a special edition of McSweeney's Quarterly Concern ("Theme from McSweeney's"); and the radio show This American Life ("I'm Sick (of This American Life)"). "Token Back to Brooklyn" was previously a hidden track on the album Factory Showroom. The title song previously appeared on the live album Severe Tire Damage (more uptempo form) and Long Tall Weekend.
