They Might Be Giants Release Rendition of Irving Berlin’s “Lazy”
They Might Be Giants have announced a special cover of American composer Irving Berlin’s famed song “Lazy”.
They Might Be Giants have announced a special cover of American composer Irving Berlin’s famed song “Lazy,” which debuted on April 2nd on WNYC as part of its Public Song Project. Led by the team at WNYC’s midday culture show All Of It, the Public Song Project invites listeners to create new music by drawing from the public domain. The 2024 edition celebrates the station’s 100th anniversary with a compilation of cover songs and adaptations of public domain works from the 1920s.
The accompanying single art illustrated by David Cowles was inspired by the original sheet music cover for the track, offering a vividly colorful reimagining of the piece. “Lazy” is released across all streaming platforms on April 19, and a 7-inch 45 will also be available exclusively through TMBG’s Idlewild Recordings later this year.
The Grammy winning alt-rock legends are also returning to the UK this November 2024 with their An Evening With They Might Be Giants: Flood, BOOK and Beyond UK tour, which includes shows in Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, Bristol and London.
The shows will include two sets which span early favourites to songs from their new, Grammy-nominated album BOOK. Joined by their barn-burning live band including the Tricerachops Horns, this once-in-a-lifetime show is guaranteed to delight. No opener! They Might Be Giants’ performance starts approximately one hour after doors open!
