"'''Particle Man'''" is a song by [[alternative rock]] band [[They Might Be Giants]], released and published in 1990.<ref name="liner" /> The song is the seventh track on the band's third album, ''[[Flood (They Might Be Giants album)|Flood]]''. It has become one of the band's most popular songs, despite never having been released as a single.<ref name="allmusic">{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/song/particle-man-mt0011961724|title=Particle Man - They Might Be Giants|last=Mason|first=Stewart|website=Allmusic|access-date=2013-02-10}}</ref> [[John Linnell]] and [[John Flansburgh]] performed the song, backed by a metronome, for their 1990 ''Flood'' promotional video.<ref name="gigantic" /> Although it was released over a decade before the band began writing [[children's music]], "Particle Man" is sometimes cited as a particularly youth-appropriate TMBG song, and a precursor to their first children's album, ''[[No!]]'', which was not explicitly educational. The song is partially influenced by the theme of the 1967 [[Spider-Man (1967 TV series)|''Spider-Man'']] TV series.<ref name="pabst" /><ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/469278/they-might-be-giants-grow-up-again-with-join-us|title=They Might Be Giants Grow Up Again with "Join Us"|last=Blisten|first=John|magazine=Billboard|date=2011-07-12|access-date=2013-05-21}}</ref>
