The opening song and opening single from TMBG's 2nd album, Lincoln, is possibly less goofy than people were expecting.
What I wasn't expecting was the gated guitar riff throughout, which ties the whole song together.
The unusual title comes from a browse of the New York City White Pages. There were literally four pages of "Ng"s. A common Cantonese last name, it is properly pronounced like the end of the word "song", but I have heard it pronounced as they do - which isn't quite the same Ng - and I have heard it pronounced "En-Gee".
There ya go.
Yes, the band is still touring, and yes, they do still play this song. Here they are, performing it two months ago.
The guitar is maybe even more impressive when you see the whole band.
