''A User's Guide to They Might Be Giants'' is a 2005 compilation album by the group They Might Be Giants. In the April 29, 2005 "TMBG News" online newsletter, bandmember John Flansburgh describes the album as such: :"Rhino is releasing the single disc compilation ''A User's Guide To They Might Be Giants'' – kind of a simple reduction of ''Dial-A-Song'' – on May 3. It is a very interesting introduction to the band. If you were looking for a single disc to lay on the uninitiated, this might be the one. The liner notes, put together with our pal Barbara Glauber, are quite extensive. We've tried to compile all the songs and all the shows since the band's inception. Obviously this was a bit of a research nightmare (I'm not even sure if the show list includes in-stores!) but it is a very interesting object to look at, especially if you have good near-field vision." Although it is referred to as a condensed version of ''Dial-A-Song: 20 Years Of They Might Be Giants'', it includes two songs not on ''Dial-A-Song'', "John Lee Supertaster" and "Clap Your Hands" and adds two different versions of songs, the original versions of "Why Does the Sun Shine?", and "Don't Let's Start" as opposed to the live and single versions respectively found on Dial-A-Song. ==Song origins== * Tracks 1, 3, 7, 10 and 18 originally from ''Flood'' (1990) * Track 2 originally from ''John Henry'' (1994) * Tracks 4, 5 and 22 originally from ''They Might Be Giants'' (1986) * Tracks 6 and 13 originally from ''Mink Car'' (2001) * Tracks 8, 11 and 20 originally from ''Lincoln'' (1988) * Tracks 9 and 15 originally from ''Factory Showroom'' (1996) * Tracks 12, 14, 21 and 29 originally from ''Apollo 18'' (1992) * Track 16 originally from ''Severe Tire Damage'' (1998) * Track 17 originally from ''Boss of Me'' EP (2000) and is the theme song for ''Malcolm in the Middle'', although a shorter version is usually used * Track 19 originally from ''Why Does The Sun Shine?
