"Man It's So Loud in Here" was the first single from Mink Car, the 2001 They Might Be Giants album, and it finds John Flansburgh and John Linnell, who wrote it together, going all in on synth-pop. It began as a demo at Adam Schlesinger's home studio, built up from a drum-machine pattern, and most of those parts were swapped out once the band moved the work to TMF Studios.
Nearly everything came out of a Proteus 2000 module, and even the gated guitar sound on the chorus is a Roland synthesizer preset. Flansburgh heard early Pet Shop Boys in the rhythm tracks and New Order in the rest, and he later explained that the band went at the whole thing as if they were making a remix. Australia took it to number 86.
