They Might Be Giants
Lyrics for Song: Someone Keeps Moving My Chair
Lyrics for Album: Flood [1990]
Mr. Horrible
Mr. Horrible
Telephone call for Mr. Horrible
But before he can talk to the ugliness men
There's some horrible business left
For him to attend to
Something unpleasant has spilled on his brain
As he sponges it off they say
"Is this Horrible?
Is this Horrible?
It's the ugliness men, Mr. Horrible
We're just trying to bug you
We thought that our dreadfulness
Might be a thing to annoy you with"
But Mr. Horrible says, "I don't mind
The thing that bothers me is
Someone keeps moving my chair"
"Would you mind if we balance this glass of milk
Where your visiting friend accidentally was killed?
Would it be okay with you if we wrote a reminder
Of things we'll forget to do today otherwise,
Using a green magic marker, if it's alright
On the back of your head?"
Mr. Horrible
Mr. Horrible
We're not done with you yet Mr. Horrible
You have to try on these pants so the Ugliness Men
Can decide if they're just as embarrassing as we think
We have to be sure about this
But Mr. Horrible says, "I don't mind
The thing that bothers me is
Someone keeps moving my chair"
Someone keeps moving my chair
Mr. Horrible says, "I don't mind
The thing that bothers me is
Someone keeps moving my chair"

Someone Keeps Moving My Chair
Released on the 1990 album Flood, this track exemplifies the eclectic and intellectual style of They Might Be Giants. The song features the band's signature blend of complex songwriting, quirky lyrics, and melodic pop sensibilities, often incorporating theatrical elements that distinguish their work from standard pop fare. As part of their early discography, the recording showcases the group's ability to weave narrative-driven verses with memorable hooks, establishing a foundation for their later experimental and progressive endeavors. The piece remains a notable example of their unique approach to combining humor with musical sophistication during the early 1990s. |
