They Might Be Giants - It's Not My Birthday (Lincoln Demo)

This version was recorded for Lincoln but subsequently discarded. It includes a half-time tempo with tremolo guitar and a slightly altered melody for the chorus.

This is one of my favourite tmbg songs, and this version is so gorgeous. I wish it ended up on Lincoln, if only so more people knew of it TwT

DAM THAT GUITAR. I actually like this beat way more tbh, wished they could’ve finalized with this version and then add the more stronger singing voice of John L in the final one, and sort of just mixed that together. 😭😭

And here I thought I’d heard every demo!

You have no idea what is in store for you... Way more 80s demos coming...

I think this might be my favourite version of this song.
I especially like the piano during the chorus, its just so punchy!
(at least it sounds like a piano to me, I could be wrong)

[@nb-tort]

Fucking banger

[@nothingnew765]

Awesome! One of my favorite songs by them, awesome to hear this demo!

Should've been in the album, or as a bonus track for today.
