About

"Particle Man" is a 1990 alternative polka song written and recorded by the American alternative rock band They Might Be Giants about a group of four different men with unique features and abilities, the first of which is a microscopic being named “Particle Man.” Though the song was never released as a single, "Particle Man" has been widely regarded as one of the band's most popular songs.

Origin

"Particle Man" originally appeared on They Might Be Giants' third studio album Flood, released on January 5th, 1990.[1] The song contains verses for four different characters, including the titular Particle Man. In addition, the lyrics describe Triangle Man as Particle Man's nemesis, Universe Man as an enormous character the size of the entire universe and Person Man as garbage can-dwelling character who is "degraded."
