Dial-A-Song: 20 Years Of They Might Be Giants is a 2002 compilation album by American alternative rock band They Might Be Giants, issued by Rhino Records and compiled by the band's co-singer/songwriter and guitarist John Flansburgh. Despite its name, the compilation does not include tracks from the band's "Dial-A-Song" service. It is instead an anthology of various single, album and live tracks from the band's history, spanning their full career up to the time of its release. It includes tracks from every album starting with 1986's They Might Be Giants up through No!, their first children's album, which was released only three months before this compilation.
The first disc focuses mainly on the group's singles and better-known album tracks, while disc two delves into more obscure fan favorites and live cuts.
"Robot Parade" is the "Adult Version", with a more hard rock arrangement, as opposed to the version from the children's album No!
"Boss of Me" is best known as the theme song to the TV series Malcolm in the Middle, although the version here is the full single version, not the shortened version used on the show.
"Why Does the Sun Shine (The Sun Is a Mass of Incandescent Gas) (live)" is the live version of the song from Severe Tire Damage and a cover, originally performed by Tom Glazer.
"James K. Polk" is a new unreleased version, although it is not labeled as such. It seems to include[weasel words] the same instrumentation as the version from Factory Showroom, but with different vocals.
"She's Actual Size (live)" is, along with "James K. Polk", the only other exclusive, unreleased song on the set.
