One of their best - definitely and 8 or 9. "Burning Down the House" is the only one better.

Quirky and cerebral - the heads kickin down in their prime. Never tire of these guys. STILL sounds fresh.

I started out hating Talking Heads because I found it hysterical and too much, now years later I like it, it just kept growing, and the thing is that a friend of mine told me that I would eventually start liking it, funny :)

Rent "A Boy and His Dog" on DVD. Written by Harlan Ellison. Don Johnson in his first "major" role. Eve Arden before she became one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Jason Robards, sinister as ever. And a very prophetic view of what would happen if WWWhatever happened and someone dropped the bomb.
It's hysterically funny, but also bone-chillingly real. I love this song.

David Byrne has worn so thin over the years. My ears don't like him the way they used to. What used to sound "hip" and "prevalent" now sounds whiny and stupid.

I have a suggestion - You should learn to appreciate them, then your life would be a little sunnier |

I second that sentiment. The house was jumpin' !! It was the perfect mix of theater and music. Watch the movie if you've never seen it. |

dionysius wrote:The original studio version on Fear Of Music was dark, taut, tense, frightening, funny. Funky, but not a party tune. The live Stop Making Sense version, though, is trying too hard to be Parliament/Funkadelic, celebratory, get-down partytime. This song doesn't work like that. Give me the original, ten times over.
Original: 10. This gets a 7.
I think it's because they push the chorus so hard in the live version. It makes it sound more like a pop song that way. Watch people at concerts. most of them will sing along with the choruses and either blah-blah the verses or not sing along with them at all. But they can remember that part that repeats over and over. |
