They Might Be Giants, often abbreviated as TMBG, is an American alternative rock band formed in Brooklyn in 1982 by vocalist and guitarist John Flansburgh and vocalist and multi-instrumentalist John Linnell. During the band's early years, Flansburgh and Linnell frequently performed as a musical duo, often accompanied by a tape machine or a drum machine. In 1992, They Might Be Giants expanded to include a backing band. The group's current backing band consists of Danny Weinkauf, Dan Miller, and Marty Beller, and their horn section consists of Dan Levine, Stan Harrison, and Mark Pender.
Over their career, they have found success on the modern rock and college radio charts. The band is known for its satirical outlook in many of their songs’ lyrics. They have also found success in children's music with several educational albums and in theme music for television programs and films.
They Might Be Giants has released 24 studio albums, starting with their self-titled debut album, They Might Be Giants, which was released in 1986. Their latest album is The World Is to Dig, which was released in 2026. The band's third album Flood is certified platinum, while their children's music albums Here Come the ABCs, Here Come the 123s, and Here Comes Science have all been certified gold. The band has been nominated for four Grammy Awards, winning two. They Might Be Giants won Best Film or Television Theme for the song "Boss of Me", the theme to Malcolm in the Middle. They Might Be Giants won Best Children's Album for Here Come the 123s. Flansburgh and Linnell were also nominated for a Tony Award for Best Original Score for SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical, alongside several other musicians, for their contribution of the song "I'm Not a Loser".
