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.

Nothing quite like it because most bands can't get a label when they sing this bad.

                                                  D.B. is one of the most innovative musicians on earth.
                                            It's as enjoyable watching him as it is listening to his music.{#Cheers}

Papernapkin - I have never bashed anyone on RP, but I am so freaking sick and tired of your negative comments.  (I just read many of the older posts for this song) I hope for the day you leave RP, you are such a wet blanket!  Or should I say wet napkin.  Enough already.  Do you EVER say anything nice?

and directed by  Jonathan Demme.  And so not to spoil it for anyone who has never seen the movie - the opening is incredible.

Also, it was the first film ever to use 100% digital audio according to Wikipedia.

I saw this in the New Varsity Theatre in Palo Alto so many years ago, it was actually a theater, and not Borders bookstore.
