Dunkin' Donuts and They Might Be Giants make beautiful music together

A couple of months ago, Chris told you about the new Dunkin' Donuts ad campaign, "America Runs on Dunkin'". Not sure if most people realize this, but all the songs in that campaign were written and recorded by the veteran alt-goof-rock band They Might Be Giants. These are the same guys who created such great hits as "Don't Let's Start", "Birdhouse In Your Soul", and "Boss of Me", which was the theme song to Malcolm in the Middle. Just like those hits, all the songs in the D&D campaign are catchy as hell, so catchy that I'd love to download some and put them on a mix CD or my theoretical iPod (theoretical because I don't have one).

There's one problem: The songs aren't available for download without the D&D advertising tagline. I found a site that made the songs into MP3s, but those contain the tagline. So if anyone has an idea where to download clean versions of the songs, let me know. In the meantime, this is an open request to D&D: make the songs available! TMBG fans are a loyal bunch; you do that, and they'll buy tons and tons of coffee. Count on it.
