They Might Be Giants: Here Come the ABCs

Here Come the ABCs is the second children's album and eleventh studio album by American alternative rock band They Might Be Giants, aimed at young children learning the alphabet. The CD and DVD were originally released separately but have since been released as a combo. There are 25 songs in the CD and 34 in the DVD. While it was produced and released by Walt Disney Records under their Disney Sound label, the band was reportedly given complete creative control over the project, which at the time was very unusual for Walt Disney Records; until then, they had followed a strict artist control policy. As a result, the DVD features puppetry, animation and live action supplied by personal friends of the group, including AJ Schnack, who directed the TMBG documentary Gigantic. Family members of the band, including John Flansburgh's wife Robin Goldwasser, and John Linnell's son, Henry, contributed some guest vocals. The music videos that appear on the DVD were also aired on the Disney Channel's children's programming block, Playhouse Disney. Here Come the ABCs was a great success for They Might Be Giants, the video being certified Gold in 2005.
