They Might Be Giants

In the early '90s, They Might Be Giants were riding a wave of unique quirkiness and creative experimentation that defined their career. By the time they performed "Why Does The Sun Shine?" live on MTV's 120 Minutes on September 5, 1993, they had just released their album "Apollo 18," which came out in 1992. This album was notable for its innovative mix of rock and unconventional themes, featuring tracks with a playful yet introspective edge. It's interesting to note that TMBG's sound during this period was a fusion of catchy melodies and offbeat lyrics, a hallmark of their style, which resonated with a growing fan base. The live performance showcased not only their energetic presence but also the charm that made them a staple for alternative music lovers, cementing their status as icons in the indie scene.
