Thursday music corner: US indie group They Might Be Giants formed in Brooklyn in 1982. They have released 18 'grown-up' albums, plus five albums for children. Their most successful album was their third, Flood, which was certified platinum in the US and gold in the UK; in the UK it also peaked at number 14 in the national album charts.
The Statue Got Me High was the first of three singles released from their fourth album, Apollo 18, in 1992. The album was named after a cancelled lunar mission, and the single's lyrics play with the notion of an unlikely statuary-inspired epiphany.
