'''''Indestructible Object''''' is the sixth [[Extended play|EP]] by [[They Might Be Giants]], released through [[Barsuk Records]] on April 6, 2004.

==Content==
The EP's title comes from a famous work by [[Man Ray]], also known as ''[[Object to Be Destroyed]].'' "Am I Awake?" was the theme song for the TLC series Resident Life. The tracks "Memo to Human Resources" and a different version of "Au Contraire" are featured on the band's tenth studio album, ''[[The Spine (album)|The Spine]]'', which was released three months later. The track "Ant" is a re-recording of a B-side from two of their [[1990 in music|1990]] singles ("[[Istanbul (Not Constantinople)#They Might Be Giants cover|Istanbul (Not Constantinople)]]" and "[[Birdhouse in Your Soul]]"). "[[Caroline, No]]" is a cover of [[the Beach Boys]]' song of the same name from their [[1966 in music|1966]] album ''[[Pet Sounds]]''.
