CBS News published a video on October 31, 2026, showing They Might Be Giants performing the song “Get Down” as part of its Saturday Sessions series, according to the outlet’s accompanying summary. The clip is available on the network’s website at CBS News video page for the Saturday Sessions performance.

The summary describes They Might Be Giants as a Grammy Award-winning indie rock group that formed more than 40 years ago. CBS News wrote that the band quickly earned a cult following for its songwriting, which the summary characterizes as quirky and fun. The summary does not name the band’s members, list its earlier albums, or describe its career beyond those points.

The summary also says the band’s latest album, The World Is to Dig, is out now. CBS News did not provide a release date, track listing, or record label for the album in the summary, so those details are not reported here.

The summary does not say where or when the performance was recorded, who produced the session, or how long the video runs. The item’s byline field is blank in the material provided, so no individual reporter or editor is identified for it.

The summary characterizes the video as a performance and includes no interview remarks from the band or direct quotations from its members. Because the material available for this story consists of a single CBS News summary and its metadata, no other outlet’s account was available to compare against it. Any further details about the session would need to come from additional reporting, which was not among the sources provided.
