Yeah, Talking Heads needs to stop talking for a while on RP. Like shots of vodka, a little too many make you go off them for a few months. Only just got Byrne's caterwauling out of my head from October.

Spot on!  One of my all-time favorite songs and movies - much to my wife's chagrin.  Just a fun movie. This scene and Papa Legumba (Pops Staples) is another good one.  I think you could call this movie video kitsch.  It just has a certain charm...

Not my favorite Heads song, but the movie (True Stories) is absolutely brilliant.  

IIRC, (and I may not) John Goodman sings People Like Us, which is great, but the shopping mall fashion show where the emcee sings "Dream Operator" is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen on film.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqCp_cmQ-IE

He's like the annoying "only child" at a family gathering ceaselessly prancing around demanding everyone's attention.

You may think you are cool, but your continuous badgering of any negative comment is just as lame as someone always commenting negative. Guess what? There are songs that just suck and just because you comment this in the comment section, which is what it is for BTW, does not mean the opinion is automatically wrong or should not be expressed. That is like a CEO sitting in the lead chair of a long table of "yes" men and women like that Monty Python sketch or something.{#Rolleyes}
 

You are right. But on the other hand I'm glad that there is someone else who hates the haters...
At least the "puke" icon should be forbidden!

Vaseline is greasy kid's stuff. Who uses it anymore?
On the other hand—as it were—Sand in the Astroglide would not work as a title, methinks.

I believe EVERY FREAKING WORD he sings. :)

the better the singer's voice, the harder it is to believe what they're saying. So I use my faults to an advantage. — David Byrne
