I'm looking for a rare/unreleased They Might Be Giants track. I had a much loved mp3 of the song that was lost in a HD/ipod crash. The song is named "No Answer" I found a few lame (but spirited) covers, but not the original dial-a-song bootleg. Any TMBG hoarders able to deliver on this one? The youtube cover simply doesn't do it for me.

I recently rediscovered the song "Man, It's So Loud In Here" by They Might Be Giants, and the delicious juxtaposition of the New Order/Pet Shop Boys pastiche of the music and the sardonic treatment of club culture in the lyrics leads me to my question: What are some other songs that sound like typical dance music but which have lyrics that are critical of dance music or club culture in general?

Does anybody know what guitar tone is used in certain TMBG and U2 songs? The most prevalent example is in the TMBG song "Ana Ng." During the chorus of the song, the guitar goes into this tremolo rapid-fire tone that maintains an even volume and has this nice rhythmic effect. It occurs at around 0:36 in the song. Any help would be appreciated.
