Lyrics
Watch out you might get what youre after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
Im an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight wait till the partys over
Hold tight were in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
Heres your ticket pack your back: time for jumpin overboard
The transportations here
Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are
Fightin fire with fire
All wet hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house
It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonne come in first place
People on their way to work baby what did you expect
Gonna burst into flame
My house sout of the ordinary
Thats might dont want to hurt nobody
Something sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house
No visible means of support and you have not seen nothing yet
Everythings stuck together
I dont know what you expect starring into the tv set
Fighting fire with fire
"Burning Down the House" is a 1983 song by Talking Heads, from their album Speaking in Tongues. It became one of their more popular songs, reaching #9 on the US Charts in the year of its release. Chris Frantz thought of the titular chorus after seeing a Parliament-Funkadelic show where the crowd chanted "Burn down the house."
The initial lyrics were considerably different, however. In an interview on NPR's "All Things Considered" aired on December 2, 1984, David Byrne played excerpts of early worktapes showing how the song had evolved from an instrumental jam by Tina Weymouth (bass) and Chris Frantz (drums). Once the whole band had reworked the groove into something resembling the final recording, Byrne began chanting and singing nonsense syllables over the music until he had arrived at phrasing that fit with the rhythms-- a technique influenced by former Talking Heads producer Brian Eno-- "and then I [would] just write words to fit that phrasing... I'd have loads and loads of phrases collected that I thought thematically had something to do with one another, and I'd pick from those."
According to Byrne in the NPR interview, phrases he tried but ultimately didn't use in the song's recorded "verses" included "I have another body," "Pick it up by the handle," "You travel with a double," and "I'm still under construction." As for the title phrase in the chorus, one early attempt (as heard on a worktape) had him singing a different line, "What are we gonna do?", and at another point in the process, "instead of chanting 'Burning Down the House,' I was chanting 'Foam Rubber, USA.'"
After the September 11, 2001 attacks, "Burning Down the House" was one of the songs put on Clear Channel's list of possibly inappropriate songs.

I prefer this to the original, love the Talking Heads but this rendition get's ya movin!
Formal De Hyde It's just a few important beats per minute... the original is great but just that little bit too slow to get your shoulders moving :)

Several years later, it brought me here too.
'I dont know what you expect, staring at the TV set...'
Oh shit!
Love this version of this song.
Ive mmissed this song!
just heard it again on tv.
this song rocks :D
MY HOUSE! lol fav part.
This is actually a pretty good cover.
Love this!
cant believe someone just uploaded it 9 hrs ago,
loving it!!!! love this song much ...
Holy shit
Can't believe the dork who said he hates The Cardigans... that means, not even the least of real musical appreciation. As a musician myself, I'd say The Cardigans are pretty clever guys when composing.
Ah the memories, top song!
Buenos tiempos de los podcast de jaidefinichon :'D
vine por lo mismo.
Tom jones roxxx!!The cardigan section sound like a baby kitty. But the 2 voices work together well anyway.
Agreed - this eclipses the Talking Heads flavoured one - Tom Jones actually has "it" on this track. Top form and very under-rated as a stand alone piece.
3-6-5 degreezzzz
Jangan nangis ya 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's actually a decent cover
MY HOUSE!
woah there
JOTH!

Haven't heard this since I was 4 or 5. All this time, I thought the female vocals were Madison Avenue...
YeAHhHhhH tHis Is Tom StYleZ wOW!...!!..!.!..
I heard this on _Wait, Wait... Dont Tell Me._
me too! i had no idea what it was but once i recognized the song and thought....it sounds like tom jones!....i found it on here. and wait wait is really funny.
tom should have done this solo.
Far better than the original.
I'm here because of the VOICE UK 2014 xD
Lalu aku berpindah menjadi vas bungamu,,,
Very cool. If you like this song check out Bonnie Raitt's version too. Wish Tom did this with Bonnie so there would be cool slide guitar.
26 ; )
jaidefinichon on the house!
Bagaimana aku sembunyi dari bushcraft dengan mudah...
Kan aku bilang aku menjadi leluhur mereka.. Kenyataannya aku hanya cukup sembunyi di mata anak anakmu
Lalu aku pindah menjadi salah satu rumput di pekarangan mu. Menghilang diantara tubuh musuhku sendiri.
Imagine dr robotik dancing this song in the sonic the movie 3!
Lalu berpindah masuk ke dalam angka nomor teleponmu . Lalu aku pindah menjadi bahasamu. Lalu aku pindah menjadi uangmu.
Lalu aku pindah menjadi sarapan pagi tetanggamu.
Dan banyaaaaaakkkkn lagi yg bs aku lakukan sambil menari 💃💃💃
hola hola mi nombre es holyfuuu, yo soy el choreza, yo soy eddiesick, yo soy alfredo y juntos somos JAIDEFINICHON ON THE HOUSE
Too bad its not just The Cardigans.
Hate the cardigans, but do like this. Fun song.
Pity it's only in mono...
Well, thats just my opinion, obviously. I much prefer the cardigans sections.
