I Never Go to Work

A cover of They Might Be Giants' cover of an old American folk song. Back in 2008, we recorded a crappy home demo of this song, and it was made into a little animated video that got a fair amount of attention. So, we decided to redo it for the album.

Jace McLain: vocals, lead guitar, bass, synth tuba
Kyle Thorne: acoustic and electric guitars, backing vocals
Eric Zhu: drums

The album version sounds a lot smother than the demo but I still liked the demo. Did you guys become musicians so you wouldn't have to work?

I have heard TMBG's version and I like it. It's a great song for people like me who are currently unemployed and looking for ways to enjoy their free time. (When i'm not volunteering, that is). I enjoy your cover of it as well, but I have to ask: does TMBG know you covered their song, and did they give you permission to do so? Great job with this.

TMBG didn't write this song. It's actually an old American folk song dating back to the 50s and possibly earlier. Though no one seems to be 100% sure who actually wrote it.

Dunno if TMBG have heard our version. Maybe! It was floating around the Youtubes for a while.
