They Might Be Giants

They Might Be Giants (sometimes abbreviated as TMBG) is an American alternative band formed in 1982 by John Flansburgh and John Linnell. During TMBG's early years Flansburgh and Linnell were frequently accompanied by a drum machine. In the early 1990s, TMBG became a full band. Currently, the members of TMBG are Flansburgh, Linnell, Marty Beller, Dan Miller, and Danny Weinkauf. They are best known for an unconventional and experimental style of alternative music. Over their career, the group has found success on the modern rock and CMJ charts. More recently they have found success in children's music, and in theme music for several television programs and films. more »

Round, can you go around?
And if you can turn around without falling down
You can skate in a figure eight
If you can turn, if you can go straight

Turn left, go straight, turn right, straight again
And then do it over, repeat forever
That's all you need to know
That's the way you skate in a figure eight

If you can grab a circle in your hands
And twist it, that's an eight

If it weren't for the Zamboni
You would never leave the ice
And I think I know the reason why
You never take a break
The sign that means forever
Is a sideways number eight

Turn left, go straight, turn right, straight again
And then do it over, repeat forever
That's all you need to know
That's the way you skate in a figure eight

And if you twist the number zero
You will get the number eight

Turn left, go straight, turn right, straight again
And then do it over, repeat forever
That's all you need to know
That's the way you skate in a figure eight

If you can grab a circle in your hands
And twist it, that's an eight
(If you can grab a circle in your hands)
(And twist it, that's an eight)

Twist the number zero
You will get the number eight
