Dial-A-Song: 20 Years Of They Might Be Giants

Dial-A-Song: 20 Years Of They Might Be Giants is a 2002 (see 2002 in music) double album by They Might Be Giants. Despite the name, it is not a compilation of tracks from the band's "Dial-A-Song" service (some such tracks do appear on the rarities album They Got Lost). It is instead a compilation of various album and live tracks from the band's history, spanning their full career up to the time of it's release.

It was issued by Rhino Records and compiled by singer/songwriter/guitarist John Flansburgh.

The first disc focuses mainly on the group's singles and better-known album tracks. Disc two delves into more obscure fan favorites and live cuts.
