A remarkable song from The Mesopotamians.

Individual Album for ‘The Mesopotamians’

Debuted on their album ‘The Else’ in 2007, The Mesopotamians got inspiration from The Beatles as part of the artwork for the album cover. These four individuals Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanpal, and Gilgamesh star in their own one of a kind animated music video!

The Mesopotamians is a song from They Might Be Giants’ album “The Else”. The song is about the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia and the various achievements they made, such as inventing the wheel and writing. The song is told from the perspective of a Mesopotamian man who is looking back on his life and culture. The song is upbeat and catchy, making it one of They Might Be Giants’ most memorable songs.

“The Mesopotamians” is the latest animated music video by They Might Be Giants, from their album “The Else”. The video was directed by David Cowles and animated by Chris Timmons. Another great musical history lesson from TMBG.
