Yes. In that part of the song, they put together various parts of different songs, like "Crimson and Clover" and "Our House." _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2001 13:19:27 EDT From: MST3Kenobi@aol.com Subject: TMBG: McSweeney's Message-ID: <126.3493ca2.28b14f1f@aol.com> Hey.

Does TMBG do sound tracks for all of them? No, that was a one-time thing. >ANd how often do they come out? Four times a year, I think, but I really don't know for sure. Maybe Sebastian C. could tell you more. >PS. I think that we should create a TMBG awareness week for all of those >poor deprived kids listening to Brittany Spears and the Backstreet Boys. Good idea. I don't think the Backstreet Boys are that popular anymore, though. -- May the light shine upon thee, Nathan DinnerBell@tmbg.org http://www.geocities.com/fablesto/ _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2001 15:28:47 EDT From: Fishandoranges@aol.com Subject: TMBG: eeee.

How would you like it if fans of (and I know there are some here) Gram Parson, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, and other kinds of more "sophisticated music" decided to save the poor misguided tmbg kids from their "quirky, silly, simple" music. We should let people listen to what they want to listen to and not judge them because of it. TMBG fans are not the gods of musical taste. > > >PS.

Which is why an TMBG Awareness Week wouldn't work. Observe: Typical NSYNC fan's reaction to TMBG: "Ew, those guys are too geeky, I just want to smack them!" Typical Limp Bizkit fan's reaction to TMBG: "Argh, those guys are too faggy, I just wanna kick their ass!"
