Mute.  I guess in Paradise this sounds good.  Not on humble planet Earth, though.  This tone-deaf guy even looks creepy.

I have to admit I never thought of the suit aspect, but I agree with you on the rest!

I like this song, but I could see how someone might think "Sufficient cowbell" is not a compliment.  I think the cowbell adds to the song, gives a nice bouncy feel, but is not there the whole song.  So, Sufficient cowbell.

This evokes a certain place and time for me. It's a wonder I don't hate it.

What's that idiotic bell or whatever it is in the background all about? Mr. Byrne, WTF?

Cool tune. Had a girlfriend Sandy, who just loved Talking Heads and when they were playing, so were we. So I ended up loving the Talking Heads as well.

I never said those guys had great voices.  As a matter of taste, I detest Mr. Byrne, sorry deaftone!

Not only a great voice, but great command of it and wonderful "phrasing"

LOL that's what I was gonna say.....

I have tested many an installation of Media Player to this 'tune'



I worked at an electronics store for a while and one night the guys in the computers department decided to set all the pc's to play this song at the same time.

The customers seemed rather bewildered to walk into a department with 15+ computers playing the same song.
