Dial-A-Song: 20 Years Of They Might Be Giants is a 2002 compilation album by American alternative rock band They Might Be Giants, issued by Rhino Records and compiled by the band's co-singer/songwriter and guitarist John Flansburgh. Despite its name, the compilation does not include tracks from the band's "Dial-A-Song" service. It is instead an anthology of various single, album and live tracks from the band's history, spanning their full career up to the time of its release. It includes tracks from every album starting with 1986's They Might Be Giants up through No!, their first children's album, which was released only three months before this compilation.

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

• "Older" is the original version featured on the album Long Tall Weekend and in the ABC mini-series Brave New World.
• "Robot Parade" is the "Adult Version", with a more hard rock arrangement, as opposed to the version from the children's album No!
• "Boss of Me" is best known as the theme song to the TV series Malcolm in the Middle, although the version here is the full single version, not the shortened version used on the show.
• "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" is a cover song, originally performed by The Four Lads.
• "The Guitar" is a semi-remake of The Tokens' "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".
• "New York City" is a cover, originally performed by Cub.
• "Cyclops Rock" is several seconds longer than the Mink Car album version and contains different guitar noises at the end.
• "Dr. Evil" appeared in the film Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and on the film's second soundtrack album.
• "Why Does the Sun Shine (The Sun Is a Mass of Incandescent Gas) (live)" is the live version of the song from Severe Tire Damage and a cover, originally performed by Tom Glazer.
• "James K. Polk" is a new unreleased version, although it is not labeled as such. It seems to include^{[weasel words]} the same instrumentation as the version from Factory Showroom, but with different vocals.
• "She's Actual Size (live)" is, along with "James K. Polk", the only other exclusive, unreleased song on the set.
• "Spy (Original Version)" is listed as an exclusive, unreleased live version, but is actually the version of the song from Why Does The Sun Shine? (The Sun Is a Mass of Incandescent Gas).
• "Stormy Pinkness (live in Berlin)" is also listed as an exclusive, but it was previously released through the TMBG Unlimited mp3 service.
• "Fingertips" on this album is one track, while the Apollo 18 album separated the song into 21 different tracks.
• This album contains the single remixes of both "Don't Let's Start" and "(She Was A) Hotel Detective".

All songs by John Flansburgh and John Linnell unless otherwise noted.
