I agree with that, Brah!

When will they give singing lessons to the tone-deaf, 90-year old woman?

Thank you for reminding us to be politically correct.  BTW, the original version may still be their best tune.

So true. Any music fan who has not yet seen Stop Making Sense should do so. A great concept for a live show, perfectly executed.
 
It's truly genius.

Generally, I dislike TH and David Byrne.  However, our dog has a habit of getting so cranked up that she runs around the house like a mad dog and will trample anyone in her way.  For being only a little over 50 lbs, she doesn't mess around.  Anyway, whenever Josie goes nuts, my wife starts singing "Psycho Doggie" to the tune of this song.  Now I find myself almost liking Psycho Killer.
