A red got live version of their very best rocker.  Didn't know it was around.  Thanks, Bill.

Went to see the movie when it came out. In Denver. In a snowstorm. At midnight. Very stoned. Actually felt like you were at a concert. Very nice.

Good song, but if there is one band on RP that's overplayed, it must be Talking Heads.

If I hear them too much, I get allergic, and it often causes me to switch away from RP...

Yes, I saw them on "The Big Suit Tour."
One of the best concerts for that year.

And a bunch of you complain that Neil Young has a lousy voice? Jeez, Byrne has more thin whiny nasal singing than a busted train whistle, and not nearly the depth of lyrics.

Every time I hear this song now, I can only think of:

He's doing this song as an encore on tour with St. Vincent.  With a brass band.  It brought the house DOWN.

I assume we are listening to the same source, but we can't be listening to the same music.
 "Burning Down the House" was one of the songs put on Clear Channel's list of possibly inappropriate songs.
If the shoe fits, wear it, this song has earned a 10 !

It is 17 February 2011, 12:35 central time and I have officially had enough of David Byrne.  From now on it's the mute button for DB.

 I think they just don't like his funky oversize suit.
Seen him on Later with Jools a few weeks back (we yanks get the music portions as repeats on Ovation) and it was pretty good.

That would be muking. Or would it be puting.

Can't imagine this song evoking a muking fit. Great song. Amazing performance.
