Don't Let's Start

From Free net encyclopedia

"Don't Let's Start" is a They Might Be Giants song originally from the album They Might Be Giants, but it has also appeared on Then: The Earlier Years and Dial-A-Song: 20 Years Of They Might Be Giants. The song is about love, life, and the beauty of death and despair.

It was also a music video which was popular for some time on MTV. In it, the band is featured wearing rolled up carpets on their heads. The location in which the video was filmed is the site of the 1964 New York World's Fair in Queens, which would later be immortalized in "Ana Ng". The face used in the video is that of William Allen White. His face has also been used for props at TMBG concerts. It appears on the Don't Let's Start CD single, and otherwise can be found associated with TMBG.

The song was also covered by the band Common Rotation on their album The Big Fear.
