Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I'm wearing-a fur pajamas
I ride a hot potato
It's tickling my fancy
Speak up, I can't hear you
[Chorus]
Here on this mountaintop, oh-oh-oh
I got some wild, wild life
I got some news to tell you, oh-oh
About some wild, wild life
Here come the doctor in charge, oh-oh-oh
She's got some wild, wild life
Ain't that the way you like it, oh-oh?
Living wild, wild life
[Verse 2]
I'll wrestle with your conscience
You wrestle with your partner
Sitting on a windowsill
But he spends his time behind closed doors
[Chorus]
So check out mister businessman, oh-oh-oh
He bought some wild, wild life
On the way to the stock exchange, oh-oh-oh
He got some wild, wild life
Pick it up when he opens the door, oh-oh-oh
He doing wild, wild life
I know it's the way you like it, oh-oh
Living wild, wild
[Verse 3]
Peace of mind
It's a piece of cake
Thought control
You get on board any time you like
Like sitting on pins and needles
Things fall apart
It's scientific
[Chorus]
Sleeping on the Interstate, oh-oh-oh
Getting wild, wild life
Checking in and checking out, oh-oh-oh
I got 'em, wild, wild life
Spending all of my money and time, oh-oh-oh
On too much wild, wild life
We wanna go and we go where we go, oh-oh-oh
Ah, doing wild, wild life
I know it, that's how we start, oh-oh-oh
Got some wild, wild life
Take a picture here in the daylight, oh-oh
And it's a wild, wild life
You've grown so tall, you've grown so fast, oh-oh-oh
Wild, wild
And I know that's the way you like it, oh-oh
Living wild, wild, wild, wild life

The black dude singing with the hat at the end is MY DAD!!!! I was supposed to be in this movie performing that part as a young karate kid character. When it came time to for me to film, I froze and got scared so they asked my dad (who had his own band at the time) to do it instead. Don't believe me? IDGAF!! That's my father and his name is Frank Beaty!!!!
I believe you...thanks for sharing the story...Your dad looks cool with his hat 🤠😎🤙
@@LuigyEstrella 😂😂 thank you!! It's was cool seeing him so young again.....
That's awesome, FM! You must've met David Byrne, what was he like?
@@chiefscheider I don't remember honestly.....I know we met him because it was originally supposed to be me who play that part but I was too scared to do it so my dad filled in and I can remember shaking his hand and that he was a nice guy but that's about it..... We met John Goodman and I can tell you that he was a jerk LMAO he wasn't friendly at all and told racist jokes pretty much the whole time we were there LMAO of course this was at the beginning of his career so I'm sure he's a much different, more grown up person now LOL I remember meeting him because we spent a lot more time with him then we did with David Byrnes. David Byrne if I recall correctly came in and shook everybody's hand and then left pretty much but we spent the entire day around John Goodman.
FM: Sucks about Goodman but still cool that you and your dad were on the set! He had some smooth moves, btw 👍🏻
This song made me happy as a young man and now it makes me happy as an old man. Thank you David Byrne for everything you've done.
ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY SIR!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
same
Great song and video. First song I ever called in to the radio station to get played on air.
And what a great movie!
Same here Jeff, God speed
Every June 20th I come here to listen to this song. Happy birthday, John Goodman.
happy birthday hope you did something special for it
🎂 📣 🎉
love John Goodman he is a national treasure
@@Filbi he's a damn delight of a human
@@HopeHendershot-Moskal John Goodman is the man
Last week, I'm driving my car going home, it's the end of a good day, this song came on the radio, I cranked it up, made me smile, made sure a window or two was down so that others can hear, while stopped at a red light, this is just a great song, takes me back....here's the Billy Idol, Prince parodies, etc., 80's references, still great, LOVE John Goodman's performance!
Stop making sense 😉
I love this song when I am driving. The superb guitar riff part is really wild, wild line.
Talking Heads shows how much fun you can have if you dare to be weird, and to do it well .
I still think of David Byrne as a sort of college professor type who one day bumped his head and then totally lost his shit.
But...what IF....they dared to be stupid, like Weird Al? :) Love them. Just having fun. Cheers. :)
Pretty awesome still
But that’s just it: David Byrne is not “weird” or trying to be . . . you are witnessing unrestricted genius. There are those who try to harness WEIRD for affect. Salvador Dali, Byrne, Nina Hagen, Timothy Leary, etc. were just doing their thing: they never for one minute thought of themselves as weird.
@@zaidaali4688 -- I don't think we disagree. When I said, "dare to be weird", I could have been saying, "dare to be themselves." Of course, lots of artists today and in history have had annoying affectations (Lord Byron took a goose with him everywhere), but please don't think I was saying Byrne et. al . are not being authentic; quite the opposite.
There is no band like Talking Heads ,they were unbelievably catchy and memorable ,one of the greatest 80’s bands with fantastic unique videos
I wouldn't say only them, there was Devo as well with their uniqueness, but yeah, Talking Heads are objectively better.
I would love to see a tribute musical to the Talking Heads, think of what Mamma Mia did for ABBA.
@@thebigfletch1885 or the b -52's
I believe.
The 80's could never define them, galactic envoys from Earth, maybe...
"Things fall apart. It's scientific."
Great line!
Entropy.
Hello
D Branch. Check in post part science and trip near the beach. And with desk and computer check in . And logs.
Go good calendars and vacation desks and disks and logs.

David Byrne is a genius
I wouldn’t go that far…….
That’s just the cocaine 😂
@@benjaminperez7328 let’s put it this way, he accomplished more with this 4 minute song than you ever will in your life. Is that a better description?
@@grahamcarmichael6567 spot on.
I'll tell you a secret about David Byrne. The guy... he has autism... but he also loves acid.... loves the stuff...
It's 2021 and i want to hug anyone who still loves this song...
hugs are free!
I'll give you a social distancing hug (((((0)))))))
Hug!! This song is awesome! I remember when it came out !! Crazy!! Timeless song!!
Meee
I still like this song- now wheres my hug? come on , come on big hug
Classic MTV era video
i gotta stop playing this the neighbors are complaining
@@grahamchapple3552
I know! They were the greatest ever!!
Most of the video is from the movie.
back when MTV play songs
yes
Such an addictive song. Can play it over and over and never get tired of it. Just brilliant.
I find that not only is it addictive, but actually destructive in the end . . . "Things fall apart, it's scientific."
check out - Once in a lifetime
It is! For some reason, it’s stuck in my head for a few days now.
Fuuuuuuuuk
Nag i weir sub
Wild Wild Life... here on this Mountain top.. Oh - oh. 🕺😎
Brazil, May 2020 - I am 66 years old. This song saved me from dying out of boredom. Thanks Heads!
At least your in Brazil 😎
Brazil, Oct. 2020 eu com 26 anos com toda certeza nao vivi essa epoca mas queria ter vivido ao inves dessa
Oh man, if this song can't get you nothing can.
Sleeping on the interstate
Brasil, oct 2020 eu tenho 42 anos e a minha vida inteira escutei essa música e não me canso de ouvir.
Yes it be saved me from Boring music also it is great
I was 24 years old, young, wild and free. God, how I miss those days.
This was our theme song in '86 and loved every gosh darn minute of it! This video sums it all up for the times! Look how happy John Goodman is! Love it love it love it!
John had been doing commercials for a few years before this and bit
parts.
Less than 2 years later, he'd audition for 'Roseanne' and his career took off! 😀
❤
I never never never get tired of listening to this song. I miss the 80"s so much...🥲
Was...was that John Goodman?
Caleb Dziepak yeah that is a very young John Goodman haha
Yes...yes it was.
Thanks Travis, and Chris. That's awesome! He is one of my favorite actors. My dad introduced me to these guys when I was in Middle-School, and this has always been one of my favorites. I'd never seen the music video before though.
Caleb Dziepak I'm certain it was. Just a trivia question somewhere. Definitely before, "Rosanne".
It's from the movie True Stories (which goes right along the Talking Heads album of the same name).
I LOVE that Bass line,Stingray bass.One of the sweetest bass tones ever produced.
Didn't realise how GREAT this clip is! Rock it! ❤️ Miss the 80s!!!
ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSIC! 80'S MUSIC RULES!! the dj
Long live the 80’s! Favorite talking heads song. Classic!
Mine too. Feeling a little down, play this loud, watch crazy video. Feeling good.
One of the greatest songs and videos of the 80's.
Talking Heads were very special.
Hear Hear. Especially with all the cameos.
Head rush fun love
Just a great tune that gets better and better with time. Wow.
So many people don’t know about this very underrated group . These guys and girl made absolutely super cool music. Brian Eno put that special edge on it😊
they're not underrated, they were one of the most famous bands back then, David Byrne is a legend, the band is iconic, extremely famous, and known for their eccentric futuristic style for that time
Love how David Byrne is always like sweating like he’s on copious amounts of psychedelic drugs, it’s hilarious
R6kjaratybac smack p cchmdi jeeuik4r4dur57
@@carmelalapadula7002 what the fuck?
I love this baseline
He probably is bro. Have u seen the life during wartime video
I thought I was the only one who noticed the sweaty theme lol. I just figured he wanted us to know he's working hard or some shit. A fit dude.
David Byrne is still amazing.but there was nothing better when the talking heads were still together..i never get tired of listening to them.
It seems like Dave wants nothing to do with the others. He distanced himself during their induction into the R&R Hal of Fame...too bad.
His new album is pretty good
Niether do i n i suppose plenty others
These guys are great!
Probably the world's most underrated band. Nostalgia ❤
Yeah check out how many people have listened to once in a lifetime and say they are underrated
One of the best rock bands of the 80s hands down
back when music had instruments, riffs, and bridges
When I lived on a mountain top with wildlife adjacent to the Los Padres National Forest, this was my anthem. Fox, Mountain Lion, deer, humming birds, skunk, turkeys, squirrels, etc. Never a dull day on my deck.
I ,sadly was late to the party as a fan of The Talking Heads.
Unique and deeply talented.
Too bad there good
I thought the same thing about The Beatles, but then I discovered that 1983 was full of good music.
One of the most underrated singer songwriter of my time.
He’s a genius
Talking Heads, you are a wild band, we need you so much ! 2024 🌞
0:29
This is my favorite part, especially when it was in “Open Season”! Great song!
I know it can be hard listening to this. It’s just sad it makes you think of good times like when the movie came out.
Im born 1990.. No friends who listen to this.. Thank u dad for showing me so much awesome bands.. Love ya and miss u ❤️🙏adore talking heads
@@deonlymero thank u, he sure was 😊love The Cure, Glenn Miller Orchestra , The Doors, U2, R. E. M., Tracy Chapman, Sade Adu, Terence Trent D'arby, Paul Simon, Metallica, Jethro Tull,Santana, Manu Chao, Roxy Music, lot of rnb and rock, Love Enya, Jose Feliciano, he even make me start listen to 50 cent 😆, im a real eclectic when it comes to music. I listen so much staff that my generation think its something to eat🤣
If you were an 80's kid you saw this on MTV in 1986.
Jennifer Kubik I was and still know the lyrics by heart as well as "Come on Eileen"etcetc I sure do wonder were the time went.peace and health to you.
Aqui no Brazil curtimos também essa melodia.
Jennifer Kubik, I saw this on MTV in 1986 when I was not a kid. :)
I'd say they're all high.
What if you saw this in the movie True Stories??
Good tune Davey i miss these days i was born in 77 I grew up to your rock 🤘 awesome 😎
As an 80s kid talking heads was some of the anthems of my generation, love the talking heads 🙂
Thanks for all the great memories mr Byrnes
Still can't believe it that other people like Talking Heads as much as I do lol
Bom rok não pode morre!!
I think I saw Meat Loaf at the microphone
i wrestle with my conscious there in the background is corny carnival organ i wrestle with my partner
Hands down the best Talking Heads song/video...love all the cameos!
Que falta faz uma banda pop dessas hoje em dia !!! Grande Talking Heads!!!!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
2023 and yes we all need a Wild Wild Life.
My daughter is 17 and her favorite band is Talking Heads. She loves David Byrne. So proud!
Oh this comment made me proud because I'm an 18-year-old Japanese student who considers TH the best
Aw that's so cool :) I discovered Talking Heads at 16/17, myself. Though that wasn't long ago, it still provided me with music to attach to certain memories in my last year of hs.
Dam right, the world is awesome for 2 minutes
that’s so cool I got into them the same age!
I'm 14 and my favourite is AC/DC, but the Talking Heads are cool too, hence my presence here
Rediscovering Talking Heads. Great band. Can't stop playing this song over and over.
Absolutely right. Fantastic. Love the bass on this.
same here been playing this song over and over for the past three months now
glad im not the only one
So funny, I can't either!!😂😂
5 times on a row on my way to work! Blasting speakers...oh oh ghost patrol officer behind me.
I miss music like this. New music doesn't compare to timeless gems like this. Talking Heads forever:)
It's so true, I feel like everything really drastically changed for the worse after the millennium and I think everyone having cellphones played a massive part in that. So many great memories sigh...
@@jungjeru3348there’s still great music being made though
@@flashiereagle2213 absolutely there is!!
I fell instantly in love with this Band when I first listened to them.
Does this sound like song from 1986 , ,,, no way , listen to it in 2021 still sounds absolutely incredible, timeless classic ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you
Música gostosa de ouvir, sem dizer que lembro muito da minha adolescência.
Saudades.
holy shit ... i have listened to this song for the last 30 years and have never seen this video .... damn .... love the talking heads .
Holy smokes!! I remember singing this song watching MTV at the age of 5.. This song brought back a ton of great memories!! THX Talking Heads😃👍🏽👍🏽
love this song
My travel song. Whenever I hit the road. Instant Good vibes. For some Wild Wild Life. 😜
Oh, listen to that gal hit the Bass--always...The Talking Heads!
Really love the guitar playing on this song.
And while we're living this "Wild Wild Life", "We're On The Road To Nowhere".
carefull it could make you a psycho killer then again life during wartime can be difficult! but the lady dont mind if you take me to the river to get some water cuz someone was burning down the house, and there she was.with slippery people, it was once in a lifetime. but i know my girlfriend is better.she was born under punches, cross eyed and painless.shed often stay up late wondering if this must be the place. i brought her nothing but flowers and told her dont worry about the government. ...... I THANK YOU!
You may find yourself watching an another Talking Heads video.
Dethguy One ...and you may ask yourself....."How did I get here".
via the Road to Nowhere. ;)
Dethguy One yep
Dethguy One I'm heading off to the Road to Nowhere then maybe some Psycho Killer action
Best UA-cam comment ever.
I just discovered this movie...omg it's wonder. I NEVER KNEW THIS VIDEO WAS PART OF THE MOVIE. I'm 50+ and I'm so happy to come across this!!
Boy this makes me really miss MTV when they just played AWESOME songs and videos!
@Ve Vee,, that is why we are here......enjoying the UA-cam!!! ; ) Cuz MTV is dead.
That is what my dad said he loved MTV and 80s music and I love 80s music he turned me on to the old music I guess when he was in college he would come home from school and turn on MTV and listen to the music and watch funny and great videos
I think that there are people doing good work now, and some good videos, but David Byrne and Talking Heads were rare talents. There is nobody better than DAvid Byrne when he's at his best -- and he sure is on this video!
Your beautiful Vee
Ve Vee me too. MTV really dropped the ball. Nothing is worse than trying to fix what isn’t broke
Favorite TALKING Head SONG!!Still Listening in 2018!!!
2018!! From Chile !!
This song has one of the best concepts, the way it developments, changes keys, modulates, etc. Great songwriting. Nonsense lyrics were part of the character.
Dont over analize just enjoy!! (Ps. You are right!)
The heads are simply brilliant.
I finally saw True Stories the other day. I’ve never had a movie convey happy feelings and positivity better than that movie. You can’t help but feel like maybe it’s not such a bad thing to be human after all.
Talking head band members-David Byrne, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz.
John Goodman, John Waters, Meatloaf, Frank Beatty, Tito Larriva
Hi I recommend a song called 'Where I Come From' By Robert Nix
I can't contain my 80s child life. Talking Heads were my love even back then
If it weren't for John Goodman looking so young this video feels like it could have been made last year. Or maybe it's just timeless for me 😊
I remember when MTV played videos. When this was on MTV.... those were the days.
Talking Heads were so strange, so very strange. I love them.
Strange is good!
Essa música é linda!
Sempre eu tocava no club nós anos 80 a 90 que tempo bom!
Era DJ nessa época!
Que perfeição,sou fã deles
I love R.E..
Jerry Harrison as Prince killed me
i shed a tear
😂 yes...
ahead of their time, even then
Who played Joan Jet and licked his bod?
@@JiveDadson I think he's doing most of the licking LOL!!!
Here in 2024. Heard this song while in meditation and had to re-visit in waking consciousness. Great vibe. Thank you universe
IS THAT JOHN GOODMAN in that ORANGE SUIT before he was a STAR?
This is the picture that *made* him a star!
Yep. Go watch True Stories. A lot of this video is from that movie.
Yeah and meat loaf is there too
When this movie came out, it got mixed reviews, but they all Praised John Goodman
Yes, indeed. Is the opening chick, a young Rickie Lake??
One of those songs that evokes such happy memories of a care-free and fun time of my youth.
It’s about cocaine. Carefree youth? Not quite.
@@dentonconstructionservices8323 Putting aside the fact you appear to have misunderstood my comment, I associate cocaine use with my care-free and fun youth.
So fucking good. I took my 11 year old daughter snowboarding in Utah 2 years ago and this was our song and always will be special memories. Life moves too fast.
That's awesome!:)
Lol now she’s like 15 or 16 right
The way back machine. High school days. Great song. Goodman was young.
This is proof we aren’t in the darkest timeline
Vice Dean is still hanging around. No ponytail yet.
@@redfiveroe1138 he's not going through some stuff
The darkest timeline is the one where Big Bird died in the Challenger explosion.
We absolutely are.
excelente !!!!!!!!!!viva los 80
David Byrne, thank you . You are and always have been a damn genius. You made MTV and video's yours. You owned it from the beginning. Down to the assembly of your band. I can sit here in 2021 and enjoy this just as much as 40 years ago. I salute you .
I love this song I could listen to it all night!!!!! David Bryne is one bust ass performer. I wish I could have seen them live just once!
David Byrne is a genius.
A fuckin men
Absolutely. Should be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame if he's not already there. Big ups Mr. Byrne
@@kennethshaw7582 talking heads made it to the rock and roll hall of fame in 2002
He's also a cheating stealing asshole. See Chris Frantz's book Remain in Love.
@@bonzai623 exactly, he is a genius, but I worship no man, he's an 80's version of Beck.
Wow I have not seen this in years but I remembered every second of it. This was THE music video of my teenage years. It’s still great. Great concept, great editing, it’s so perfectly done no one has tried to imitate it.
Just saw the movie, didn't expect it to come with all these great tunes!
2 words.
Open. Season!
USA:Open Season
Russia:Сезон Охоты
What incredible energy!
🗺️yes
It’s called cocaine
Brilliant band, brilliant sound. They wouldn't make it today.
So glad I grew up with this stuff!
And why, exactly, could it not be made today? What an utterly vapid remark.
(If you don't know what vapid means, I'm saying you're not even pertinent enough to be stupid.)
When I think MTV, talking heads comes to mind. It was 82'or 83' and we sat around for days on end watching TV, waiting to see what video was next. Of course talking heads was at the fore front. Couldn't get enough...
This felt so modern, so advanced when it dropped, it was CRAZY... Holds up great today!
The most normal "Talking Heads.", music video ever.
opening of Open the Season
THATS THE MOVIE
YES!
So many lifestyles of many lifetimes of walks of human lives.❤
ADORO !! 😘💓ELES SÃO O MÁXIMO 💓😍♥️
.ñ
I love this song. It's my #2 after Take Me To The River. TMTTRiver has one of the most memorable bass lines I've ever heard. It's a subtle simple phrase but it gave me fits trying to play it right.
Pretty good. Not on the level of "Everyone Hates Ned Flanders".
Hi Dave, hope you're doing well. Thanks for the music.
A thoroughly fun song and hilarious video.
When this song first came out I thought the title was "Wild Wild Rice".
RLMFA0
That's really funny!
Wild Wild Long Grain
LMAO!!!
Love it! Ensconced next to Dancing Freeway and several other songs where no one knows wtf they're called.
One of the most fun pop songs I know and a great video as well. Way to go!
To all those that are saying this is a music video, it’s actually a clip from David Byrne’s criminally under-seen film True Stories. Watch it.
The fashion show still cracks me up.
This song is really special to me because open season was a big part of my childhood when I was a little kid. I remember this song playing like 10 minutes later into the movie. I fell in love with this song as it fits so perfectly into that scene. My parents introduced me to the talking heads when I was like a baby, this is one of my favourites in particular out of all their songs except for once in a lifetime ahahaha. This is what you call a happy song.
This song goes hard with a bear at the back of my truck
Fantástico ❤🇧🇷
Everytime life gets to me and I'm feeling down.. I watch this video. works every time
Can i have a show of hands if you're still listening to this in 2020
hands up here!!! Never stopped listening!!!
yep
I suspect any such sample would show selectivity bias.
@@ckmishn3664 And? What is the comparative towards bias in this regard? All that was asked was; it's 2019. Who is still listening to this? How does bias hold any signifigance? I mean; I'd get it if there was a disparaging remark against it, but none is present. Check yourself. If anything, the only presence to animosity is this statement. "Selecitivty bias"? C'mon. How dare anyone say "I like this song"; right?
Also; firm hand raise if it wasn't obvious heh
This song makes me happy. It remounts me back to the 80’s. Good times. Possibly the best of times. ❤
