...really don't get it," says Gramm, peering over his gold-rimmed aviator glasses, his Muppet-like head bobbing plaintively, "but this is the be-all and end-all for Kay. I don't care about this Medicaid thing myself but I'm being made to look like a wimp. Me, Phil Gramm, a wimp. You've got to save me here. Talk to her; make her see it's not going to happen...

...WIMP FACTOR 14 Ankle Deep (Harriet CD) They're from Pittsburgh. Their main instruments are an electric guitar, a ukelele, and sometimes found objects instead of drums. One of the songs seems to be about a guy who can't seem to win at Stratego. Others are called "Tale of the Loophole Guy," "How to Avoid Losing Small Objects," and "(It's OK to Work For) Rockwell International." The next They Might Be Giants? No way: Wimp Factor 14 is immeasurably better, less fake, more felt, and smarter than any of its obvious comparisons. The tunes are real tunes...
