They Might Be Giants - The Frank O'Toole Show (March 4th, 1987)

Known in legend as the "WFMU Tape", the band's appearance on the show contained a variety of old TMBG content, ranging from show introductions, demos and Dial-A-Song calls. The band also performed live on the show in September 1987, not long before their Village Gate concerts with the Ordinaires that month.
