Particle Man Lyrics

Artist: They Might Be Giants
Album: Flood

Particle man, particle man
Doing the things a particle can
What's he like? It's not important
Particle man

Is he a dot, or is he a speck?
When he's underwater does he get wet?
Or does the water get him instead?
Nobody knows, Particle man

Triangle man, Triangle man
Triangle man hates particle man
They have a fight, Triangle wins
Triangle man

Universe man, Universe man
Size of the entire universe man
Usually kind to smaller man
Universe man

He's got a watch with a minute hand,
Millenium hand and an eon hand
When they meet it's a happy land
Powerful man, universe man

Person man, person man
Hit on the head with a frying pan
Lives his life in a garbage can
Person man

Is he depressed or is he a mess?
Does he feel totally worthless?
Who came up with person man?
Degraded man, person man

Triangle man, triangle man
Triangle man hates person man
They have a fight, triangle wins
Triangle man

by Christopher age 9 on 5/17/2008 1:05am Very um... intresting.I wonder what the song means as do 1,000s of people.I've seen a webpage that was only for people who want to tell others what they think the song is about.How come Triangle Man always wins,though.
by Jason on 5/18/2008 9:37pm Any idea what this song is about?
by eugene on 5/25/2008 9:04pm this is about quantum science (particle man, no one knows much about him)the church (triangle man, representing the father and son and holy ghost) the universe (universe man, has an eternity and is usually kind to smaller man, meaning life goes on) and humans (person man, pathetic but alive!) so there you have it!
by Mike on 6/4/2008 10:12pm That's an awsome meaning
by carter on 6/21/2008 6:33pm I think it means that they like to sing about imaginary men lol kool song!!!!!!!!!
by Marshal on 6/22/2008 1:11pm Dayum, i thought it was just something they made up the night they smoked too much weed...

by Joey on 7/29/2008 5:53pm This song is great!! I want to memorize the lyrics so I can sing it all day and make people laugh.
by =U somebody. on 8/26/2008 9:23am Why does triangle man hate so many people? lol Triangle man is EMOOOO~
by kristone on 8/29/2008 11:48am particle man rocks
by Ultimate Nobody on 8/30/2008 3:28pm Triangle Man hates everybody... Except Universe Man. He probably knows that Universe Man will give HIM a beating instead of the other way around... and I agree with =U somebody. Triangle man MUST be EMO. And thanks to eugene, who gave an explanation to this un-explanitory song. (did I spell that right?)I think particle man stands for the small things in life that no one is grateful for, like water or bread. ("What's he like? It's not important") Ultimate Nobody P.S: Don't make fun of my name. Seriously.
by kyle on 9/2/2008 9:48pm so does particle get wet or not?
by Katherine on 9/4/2008 7:03am Quantum physics meets alternative rock. Love. It. Triangle Man is delta, you know, change. Triangle man hates everybody, and wins, because change is inevitable. Of course, he doesn't take on Universe Man because, well, he's the Universe, all things, all events, all everything, including Triangle Man. Either that, or Linnell just wanted to be silly.
by eulaylia on 9/7/2008 3:28pm i listened io it only because my chem professor plays it right before each of his lecture--his...um...particle man maybe...
by John on 12/1/2008 10:35am I just remember seeing this on "Tiny Toon Adventures" they put the song together with a cartoon skit. Same with TMBG version of "Istanbu(Not Constantinople)" goofy fun.
by Man on 1/29/2009 8:27am WHO TRIANGULATES TRIANGLE MAN?!
by UNICORNNN!!!!! on 2/7/2009 8:12pm I <3 PARTICLE MAN!!!!!!!
by Eliza on 2/8/2009 1:13am PERSON MAN IS THE BEST:) HIT ON THE HEAD WITH A FRYING PANNNN:)
by neil on 2/12/2009 6:01pm whats the website christopher???
by futureneuro on 2/18/2009 11:39am How can triangle man be the godhead if triangle man hates particle man and person man? How could triangle man be change, because change can't change a particle naturally. So technically, triangle man can't always beat particle man. There is no meaning for this song. It is for pure entertainment.
by triangle man lover!! on 2/24/2009 8:47pm omg i love love love triangle man he is the best in the west, he is better then everyone else in this song
by ParticleManLoverForever on 2/24/2009 8:49pm No one can beat Particle Man. i mean he is so mysterious and that is the part that i love about him. is he a dot, or a speck? these are the questions i ask myself everyday. : (
by rock lee 913 on 3/5/2009 10:51pm person man's life sucks, doesn't it?
by nananana on 3/14/2009 6:13am This song is my one of my favorite songs by They Might Be Giants. Oh yeah...Triangle man sounds like a prick, a giant prick.
by Ocelot on 3/17/2009 1:27pm Go to YouTube and watch the Tiny Toons music video for this song. Totally classic! I was laughing so hard when I watched this yesterday soda came up my nose. No joke. That hasn't happened to me since I was like twelve.
by RWshadowlord on 3/26/2009 2:07pm loved it the first day i heard it, its also the day i fell over laughing.

by John on 7/2/2009 1:18am Lol i saw a video on youtube About this being a song about Silent hill. Haha. Person man being James, and Triangle man being Pyramid head.
by Belgaer on 7/19/2009 10:50pm Hm... I always thought that this was a parody of superheroes, but I think that eugene and Katherine.
by Tim on 8/15/2009 9:11pm triangle man always wins because he is pointy

by JER-EH-MEY on 10/15/2009 12:00am triangle man has issues, particle man is mysterious,person man sucks, universe man RULES.
by Bob Dobbs on 10/15/2009 7:25am I've always taken Triangle Man to be the US Government (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial)rather than religion, as not all religions believe in the Trinity.
