They Might Be Giants
They Might Be Giants (often abbreviated as TMBG) is an American alternative rock band formed in 1982 by John Flansburgh and John Linnell. During TMBG's early years Flansburgh and Linnell frequently performed as a duo, often accompanied by a drum machine. In the early 1990s, TMBG expanded to include a backing band. The duo's current backing band consists of Marty Beller, Dan Miller, and Danny Weinkauf. The group is best known for an unconventional and experimental style of alternative music. Over their career, they have found success on the modern rock and CMJ charts. More recently they have also found success in children's music, and in theme music for several television programs and films.
TMBG have released 18 studio albums. Flood has been certified platinum and their children's music albums Here Come the ABCs, Here Come the 123s, and Here Comes Science have all been certified gold. The band has won two Grammy Awards, one in 2002 for their song "Boss of Me", which served as the theme to Malcolm in the Middle. They won their second in 2009 for Here Come the 123s. The band has sold over 4 million records.

CAN'T GET YOU OUTTA MY MIND
by: Tommy PagePage Tommy
From The Heart
Can't Get You Out Of My Mind
(Written by Tommy Page and L. Russell Brown)
I fall to pieces when I hear your name
Well my concentration somehow isn't the same
I think about you from the moment I rise
I see visions of you when I close my eyes
No baby I, I can't see
Living my life without you next to me
Chorus
Oh girl, I can't get you outta my mind
Can't get you outta my mind
And I can't get you outta my mind
Sometimes I wish that we could run away
So we could be together every night and day
I'd love to spend my whole life through
On a tropical island all alone with you
Oh we were meant to be
In each other's arms for eternity
You know that I'll love you forever
Wherever you are, no metter how far
