Flood is an album released in 1990 (see 1990 in music) by They Might Be Giants, their third studio album and their first with a major label, Elektra Records. It contains two of their most well-known songs, "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" and "Particle Man", both of which were made into animated music videos on the children's television show Tiny Toon Adventures, exposing the band to a much younger audience. The first single "Birdhouse In Your Soul" reached number 3 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks Chart and was a top 40 hit elsewhere including Australia. All of the songs except for "Istanbul..." were written by John Flansburgh & John Linnell. "Istanbul..." (a cover of a 1953 hit for The Four Lads) was written by J. Kennedy & N. Simon.
