A history of the They Might Be Giants song Birdhouse in Your Soul.

‘“Birdhouse in Your Soul” refuses to be about one single thing, and elsewhere on the album, this refusal hits fever pitch. On the would-be theme song “They Might Be Giants,” the band uncorks a flood of all the things they might be, never quite hammering down what they are: […]The answer never comes, of course. That sort of ambiguity was the point.’
