Yup, it's that familiar David Byrne/Talking Heads Tellytubbies sound. Eh-oh, eh-oh. Mute on and away to make a cup of tea. Back in 5.

Great song from a great album!  Know it inside out and upside down!  David is so talented!

Not too shabby! Generally speaking I'm strongly anti-David Byrne, but this one opens my ears a crack.

I can't relate to Jagdriver either.  I find it ridiculous to automatically give a number to any artist across the board.  But maybe its just cause I ride a bike too...

I know there is a lot of haters but David Byrne @ Red Rocks was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

I guess there are more fans of Byrne than there are Byrne-haters. They're just not as.....vocal. {#Razz}

Is it just me, or is it ironic to play this song just after INXS?  Just saying...{#Shifty}

Everyone need to buy ALL their music thru RP and support Bill.

Oh man. Dinging someone from Kenya (or anywhere else that English is a second or lower language) for spelling errors is bad form.

Edit: especially when there's only one spelling error, and it's one of the trickier ones to catch.

Further Edit: Wikipedia lists Kenya's official languages as Swahili and English. Still my point stands. And unless we all begin conforming to Her Majesty's English, there can be no honour in nit-picking this kind of spelling error.

Uh, I don't feel that strongly but I do think he's overplayed and over-rated.

I mean, compared to the previous band, Los Lobos, he's very lightweight.
