My college roommate played Psycho Killer about 7 times in a row and I threatened to kill him.

It's OK. But, say, 10 plays in a row and I'd be a candidate for hari kari seppuku leaping in front of a train a handful of 'Ludes. Anyone notice that Byrne's mug in the upper left looks like Silence of the Lambs Hannibal Lecter in his mask?

TH = an almost automatic 1. And mute. Or shift over to KCRW. Have fun in my absence.

More punches is what this song deserves indeed, another glorious 1!

And it still sounds new. When I first heard it, it sounded like aliens at a disco.

Not really, since they´re using those typical 8-bit Nintendo-like sounds... Exactly THAT is what makes it sound old...

Actually all of the Dot Matrix bleeps are coming from Adrian Belew...and I heart Adrian Belew!

Well, that's original criticism, even if I don't agree! :-)

Second best song on arguably their best album.  Such a great groove.

I don't get the T-Heads/David Byrne hate here.

Agreed, taking the time frame of the Talking Heads into consideration, their music broached territory that few were exploring. I still remember Time magazine naming David Bryne rock's 'Renaissance Man', his influence through music, spoken word and film gave many of us who appreciated this a great thrill. And yes, I can see RP and Mr. Bill gravitate towards the Heads and Byrne, it is what makes this station so endearing. And for those who just appreciate paint-by-numbers- pop, there is still the mute button for this duration of 5:49

RP does have a 'thing' for Talking Heads, but as the saying goes, even Homer nods. I just hit the mute as soon as Byrne's warbling hits my eardrums and give it a few minutes, then return to the normal excellent programming.

I think someone should make a pinball machine that makes sounds like those on this song when the ball is banging around.  :)

It's a bit strange to me to hear it here, because I have this one as a ringtone in my cell-phone.

I LOVE IT!

Got this album for $1.99 as an Amazon download. Excellent. I think this is my favorite song on the album now. Used to be Once in a Lifetime, which is excellent also. Very good album, why didn't I buy it when I was in high school?
