HUGE ASS NEWS — Official Meh Theme Song Teaser
48We now have an official Meh theme song, and it’s launching on this very website sometime this week at midnight Eastern!
We’re normally not ones to feel excitement or enthusiasm, but how many websites do you know with their own theme music? Don’t answer that unless you say none — we want to feel special.
Oh, and the guys that did the song for our modest ecommerce experiment? Let’s just say THEY MIGHT BE giants in the world of popular music!

Great . Theme songs me Meh-offs or Fuku Bags!!! ,, as for the band, that's even better!!! Did you try to get REM for the them song? REM spelled backwards almost spells MEH.....
@somf69 After Orange Crush REM was MEH as well.
Based on thread title, assumed this was going to be news about huge asses.
@Starblind
Oh, I don't know. You must be thinking of some other band.
@SSteve You must be thinking of some other experiment. (Ours definitely isn't about human happiness.)
@SSteve el súper presidente!
@snapster You know it, man! When I was a dj at KUSF I played the hell out of their first two albums. I was gone by the time Flood was released.
@snapster
@SSteve nice. I missed out on their first couple but I'm in this time. My only fan merch claim is from meeting them at a 1991 record store signing thing - got my flood cd signed!
@snapster The coolest thing about the last IFC is that now my ringtone is John L singing to me suggesting that I don't answer my phone. Of course that's not as cool as having them write a song about my company.
Well, color me appropriately teased. Also, TMBG rock.
@Bingo I love purple.
I came here expecting either Kim Kardashian or Donkey pics. Disappointed.
has this band ever played in Constantinople?
@carl669 they had a date there, but then apparently some confusion occurred.
@snapster Yeah, she had an old map and was waiting in Byzantium.
@carl669 Put Your Hand Inside the Puppet Head
Oooh. [excitement intensifies]
@Bingo TMBG @ HSR FTW!
Giants in the world of popular music? HOLY CRAP you got Coldplay?!
@Starblind i almost choked to death when i saw this i hope you're happy
@harrison No, no, no, it was supposed to induce death a week after viewing, like the video from The Ring.
@alacercogitatus I like this. Thanks.
@alacercogitatus That is great!
@alacercogitatus ni-i-i-i-ce!
@alacercogitatus Nice. So far both covers I have seen on meh are better than the pop song.
It has a decidedly K.I.T.T. familiarity to it...
@marklog I knew it sounded familiar. But how could KITT get stuck in Byzantium?
I have so much love for you right now!
@jimmyd103 you and @ssteve did this. Also - thanks for turning me into a TMGB fan. You boys are on fire.
@TheAlmighty1 I’ve got one of them combustible heads.
@TheAlmighty1 That is my favorite TMBG song, hands down, and I came to this thread just to post it. Thank you for saving me the effort.
@SSteve 'tis rare, and yes, I wouldn't lie.
@TheAlmighty1 After watching this I went right out and bought it.
How could you possibly get a theme for Meh from anyone other than Laurie Anderson?
@gertiestn Oh Supermeh?
@ilovereality Ha! Paging Mr. Sharkey, white courtesy telephone please...
@gertiestn Bugs are crawling up my legs.
SWEET!
I can't wait to hear more, its very thought provoking.
TMBG rocks. And if you're not signing up for their IFC you should because it'll sell out.
@Homechicken contemplating.....
I love this site more and more each day. 1st concert I went to was TMBG in 95. Great times.
@producepimp
My first concert was TMBG in December '94. That your was one of my favorites of theirs 😀
I always thought the vocals on the "Totally Not Rigged Games of Chance" theme song sounded like TMBG. Just me?
Nothing would please me more than if it were a TMBG tribute band and this teaser is just about reminding us of the expectations we should have.
We're all going to feel pretty stupid when it turns out the theme song is by Pet Shop Boys.
@SSteve I would be totally okay with that. They have several songs that would be easy to fit to the Meh theme, like Shopping and Miserablism.
If it's anywhere as cool as The Mesopotamians, I'll be elated!
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal and Gilgamessssssh...
@PocketBrain keep your cool... aim for "mehlated"
@PocketBrain Mehsopotamians!!
@PocketBrain I passed an Art History 101 test in college thanks to that song...
@SSteve ooooo, I like that! I'm an original Mehsopotamian!
Theme is appropriate because it has the word 'meh' right there in the middle (backwards). Hey, I bet you're putting some subliminal messages in that song!
Reminds me a bit of this song I found on my Sansa:
Curtis Macdonald "Promise"
My students last year were huge fans of this song:
I love that TMBG has both kid-friendly music and adult music so I can enjoy them frequently.
@Collin1000 Yep, me and the kids listened to them a lot. I really appreciated them back when my kids were into such "groups" as The Jonas Brothers and The Naked Brothers Band.
Uh, is it JoCo?
@JazzyJosh No, he said "they". I guess it could be JoCo with Paul and Storm.
@JazzyJosh Actually, it's probably who he said... Hugh Jass.
@PocketBrain See, this is why I have a problem with Hugh Jackman. Everytime I hear that name, I hear Huge Ackman.
Man, I haven't listened to TMBG in ages. The last album I have of theirs is John Henry. I think I've listened to Apollo 18 and Flood over 1,000 times each.
I'll just leave this here...
Ok, meh. I'm ready. Bring it on.
Wait...you got The Flaming Lips? That is awesome.
I can't wait to see a duet with Wayne and Irk.
What the meh ? Where is it ?
@mehdiocre_user as if they'd waste the opportunity and release it earlier. Saturday.
