Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Ben Rhythm Player	#1 by Ben Formica at Jan 29, 1974 at 11:29 AM EST
	Your also missing a big component. Lest we Forget that Ana'Ng was the name of the girl that social workers found locked in a closet and given no social contact for the first 15 years of her life. hence the lyric "Listen Ana hear my words They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you" and as history indicates...Ana couldnt talk or understand language.

No Picture ben Lead Player	#2 by ben Tee at Jan 25, 1982 at 10:35 PM EST
	thing i like most about this are the vowel sounds in the refrain. AnA Eng And-I Are gEtting-Old Say it in rythm and stress the beats, it's wonderful

No Picture The Four String Lead Player	#3 by The Four String Mother Fucker at May 18, 1984 at 6:44 AM EST
	I love this song. From the beginning to the end, with the despair, the rhythm, and the fantastic lyrics ('And the truth is we don't know anything"), this song is just about perfect.

No Picture sephiroth Average	#4 by sephiroth at Jun 16, 1988 at 12:27 AM EST
	i think this osng is about vietnam going to fight there and meeting a vietnamese girl "her voice is a backwards record" you know vietnamese language is pretty crazy "they dont need me here and i know youre there" Americans believed that they didnt belong in vietnam Back in the day dpont made naplam and that was used in the war theres alot in that song that have to do with vietnam

No Picture Rosa Wanna Be	#5 by Rosa Beauchamp at Nov 19, 1991 at 10:07 AM EST
	I like this song because it has so many references. That's why I like the band. But past all these references is a cool song about finding that girl that is perfect for you. I mean, there's that belief that there is someone out there for everyone, and this is just TMBG's take on that idea. Awesome song, i'm disappointed so few of my friends have heard of the band.
