Kiss Me, Son Extras: Rat Patrol

Have you ever heard the song 'Rat Patrol' by They Might Be Giants? Check it out and let's talk about it!

I’m writing about every song from every full studio album by They Might Be Giants. These posts are for the other songs.

The EP tracks. The rarities. The songs that didn’t make the main record but somehow made permanent homes in my life.

This is Kiss Me, Son of Extras.

Finally, I am circling back around to some of my favorite tracks on the Long Tall Weekend album. As a quick refresher, They Might Be Giants released an album in 1999 available exclusively as an mp3 with eMusic. The album contained songs that had been written and recorded over a long period time but never released on a studio album or any other physical piece of media. A move that proved to be extremely savvy, the band had maintained exclusive rights of their digital content.
