They Got Lost

They Got Lost was a 2002 (see 2002 in music) rarities compilation album by the group They Might Be Giants. Several tracks were previously featured on Dial-A-Song and the associated Web site. Some were produced for various side projects, such as a Robert Krulwich TV special on science ("All Alone", a sea shanty-like song about a bacterium transported to the Moon by Surveyor 3); a special edition of the McSweeney's quarterly ("Theme from McSweeney's"); and the radio show This American Life ("I'm Sick (of This American Life)"). "Token Back to Brooklyn" was previously a hidden track on the album Factory Showroom. The title song previously appeared on Severe Tire Damage (in more uptempo form) and Long Tall Weekend.
