I thought this was Ganggajang at first but its nothing like them.  However looking at who it is I realise the trick my brain fell into.  I had a rather awesome cassette I played to death in my walkman with Ganggajang's self titled first release (a must for all lovers of good aussie music) on one side and Talking Heads Little Creatures on the other. 

I totally understand this song. . . being as I am happy to take my kit off in public. 

This guy's pseudo-funny music...

I think you are right.  Don't get the TH animus.  At least the massive U2 animus is related to people not liking Bono's preaching.

I was a big fan of the TH since first hearing Psycho Killer on the Max's Kansas City jukebox in 1977.  They immediatly became one of my top ten artists.  They have dropped a bit down the list since then but are still in my top 25.

Horrible.  Makes me want to slash my wrists. I'm outta here, like Vladimir.

Yes Bill, we are listening all day long.  The 2nd track from this album in less than 6 hours.

But still good stuff.  The very first "CD" if ever had after wax. I mean vinyl.

YOU missed out....

I don't understand RPs (or anyone else's for that matter) fascination with Talking Heads.  They are like grating hell to me.  Lord.

PERFECT, coming after Drume Negrita...  Awesome memories: a similarly bent Brit named Mike R. and I were driving a little Suzuki Jimny 4WD all over Bali for the first time, Christmas Eve of '88 through New Year's '89, and this was one of a few very key albums we had on tape, and this was perfect played loudly as we drove through fruit-laden jungle down village paths, dodging cows and minibus bemos whose betel-chewing crews and passengers were busy tying down chickens, goats and pigs, zooming past topless local women with cargo on their heads, both of us high as kites on the exotic fragrances and flavors of cloves, cinnamon, coffee, and MUSIC.

The CD cover reminds me of a newly-established brewery just outside Nottingham called Blue Monkey, which does some excellent cask ales:



Nowt to do with Talking Heads, but IMO a lot more interesting and pleasurable. I hit mute within a second of this song starting, which is likely a record.

Great music from the band, but it's the singing I can't get used to... sounds like he's got the voice, but just didn't know how to use it...

It's amazing. No other artist elicits as much of a love/hate response than DB &Talking Heads. I think Bill really likes it that way.

 Two Talking Heads tracks in one day is two too many.

Okay, I'm going to disagree with this one. Chris Franz, Tina Weymouth, and Jerry Harrison made up an excellent band behind Byrne. As Byrne's vision expanded—oh, I don't think it dried up—, and let's not fool ourselves into thinking that the Heads were anything but a vehicle for Byrne's ideas, so did his notion of what constituted support. Byrne supplemented and expanded the band as he imagined its sound expanding. This happens all the time—even The Beatles added Billy Preston; the Stones, Sugar Blue and Ry Cooder—the list is endless.

It may be that Byrne's vision outgrew the original band's capacity, but to characterize the original band with the tag "musical paucity" I think denigrates them unnecessarily and misses the point.

Like it - quite a bit

Awkward David Byrne living as a nature boy, riding his bike through NYC...love this song. Makes me happy.

There are a lot of reasons for the changes in the music of Byrne and Talking Heads, but the original line-up were all actually quite good musicians, and they contributed to the quality of the first four albums.  I never heard a smallness or "paucity" in their musical abilities.  The early "vision", I believe, had more to do with the ephemeral thrill of 3, (later 4) art students, being in their early twenties and making music together (and working with Brian Eno, as noted below).
  I don't particularly like this song, but I wouldn't say that it's because of the technical skills of the band or any of the other musicians on the record.  David Byrne has as much to do with their less-than-appealing songs as he does with their good ones.

Eno had something to do with it too, I think
