Before falling asleep last night, I diligently programmed the VCR to tape Late Night with Conan O'Brien. They Might Be Giants were scheduled to perform and I didn't want to miss it. With the excitement of a kid on Christmas morning, I woke up early and rewound the tape to watch them. They played "Alphabet of Nations" from their children's CD, Here Come the ABCs. As is the case with most music for kids, the song is sticky ear candy. Once I heard it, I couldn't get it out of my head.
