They Might Be Giants-Metal Detector

[jeff of pa]

Down at the shore there's a place where there's no one vacationing
There's just the sound of the call of the wild overcoming the fear of the unknown

And I've got something to help you understand
Something waiting there beneath the sand
My metal detector
Is with me all of the time

I'm the inspector over the mine

Look past the volleyball (look past the ball)
Look past the squawking gull (look past the gull)
Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal

'Cause I've got something to make you understand
Something hidden there underneath the land
My metal detector
Is with me all of the time

I'm the inspector over the mine
Metal detector, watch it shine

Every seashell has a story to tell if you're listening
But underneath every shell there's a story as well if you've heard enough of the sea
Then everything on the top will just suddenly stop seeming interesting
So listen now to the sound of the things that are found underground

Don't need no volleyball (don't need no volleyball)
Don't need no squawking gull (don't need no squawking gull)
Don't need to look at any bathing beauty doll (don't need to look at any doll)

For I've got something to help you understand
Something waiting there beneath the sand
My metal detector
Is with me all of the time

I'm the inspector over the mine

Look past the volleyball (look past the ball)
Look past the squawking gull (look past the gull)
Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal

'Cause I've got something to make you understand
Something hidden there underneath the land
My metal detector
Is with me all of the time

I'm the inspector over the mine
Metal detector, watch it shine

Don't need no volleyball (don't need no volleyball)
Don't need no squawking gull (don't need no squawking gull)
Metal detector, all the time (metal detector all the time)

LOL.. I was just coming here to post this video.

I was joking with my girlfriend about getting a loop app on my phone and making music. [will never happen]

She asked if I was going to make a song with just metal detecting tones like the songs on YouTube that use Windows PC tones... I typed in "song made with metal detector" and found this vid... glad I searched before posting.

Hard to believe that after 2 weeks there were no responses to your thread... I figured someone would enjoy it.

Not a great song, not bad either.

BUT, they totally lost me at

"Don't need to look at any bathing beauty doll (don't need to look at any doll)"

I'm not into the song either... I figured someone out of the few thousand members here would enjoy it though

What I'm surprised at is the comments on the video stating that it's "the best" They Might Be Giants song they've ever heard + over 11,000 views and no dislikes

I guess most people don't want to be considered haters. I have no problem with being a hater
