The story behind the song

"Road Movie To Berlin" comes from They Might Be Giants' platinum-certified album, Flood. The band, formed by John Flansburgh and John Linnell, is known for their satirical outlook in many of their lyrics. This song, like much of their work, embodies their distinctive alternative rock style. It plays like a journey, both physical and perhaps a bit absurd, characteristic of their unique musical world.
