I hear this song all the time on AM radio. Why do I need to hear it here on RP? All BillG does is play the same old tired and trite shite that every other station plays. This music always makes my tongue get stuck in my cheek.
 
Thought I'd highlight the punchline for the benefit of others

This is when I admire the creativity and whackobility of some artists. First listen. Interesting. Fun.

Why are you here? I think you need to go kiss your cat on the top of its head, get off the internet, go listen to your refrigerator hum. 

Jade has a valid point. I'm glad he brings this up. Open your mind cayenne. Allow some dissent, I'm sure it will improve the product. I say to Bill stop playing Talking Heads all the freaking time.
  

      A quick look at his moniker reveals that jadewahoo gave sucko-barfo ratings to Beethoven and Mozart.  What's more, I've never heard this on AM radio.

Fun to hear a great polarizing creative cut like this. You love it, or hate it.  I'm both.  No I'm not.  Yes I am.


I really like it, but not just right now. I Also won't rate it, because it IS great, but on the other hand ... {#Confused}

I've been trying to figure out the various movie sources. in addition to the john Water's "Polyester" opening, which is Divine!, the horses neighing sound like they come from "Young Frankenstein" and the parrot talking is Peter Sellers from "The Party". Hee hee...this one is great. Cagey?
 

if you're still trying to figure out the movie references, there is a musical one from "Cinema Paradiso" (great film btw) near the end with what sounds like a guitar.   Definitely one of the more unusual tracks on RP.
