And that band manages to mix fun and serious subjects like no other. Sure enough, the frown was there. But it was nice to see it dissolve into a smile. The power of The Talking Heads.

    The French section was translated by someone for David, and talking about how he delivered the lines years later he's embarrassed by how badly he pronounced them.
    For me, it just adds to the frantic mad charm of the song.

      @@michaelb1761 that's true, but I think their influence lies in letting people be inspired to be a bit more out there, front people who revelled in their own peculiarities maybe. Bands like the Jesus Lizard, or Pissed Jeans, Sloy etc. Maybe anyway. But you're absolutely right there's no one like Talking Heads.

    Talking Heads came around at the same time that punk rock broke, 1977, from New York's CBGBs club scene (along with Blondie and others). Not really punk but with a similar, more sophisticated vibe.

    Hmmmm, I do generally like these two, but man the Talking Heads went over their heads. The continued laughing creeped me out. Anything that’s outside the Box Lex calls it weird or strange. I’d argue art like this is original or unique, although I think she never got that it was written in a imagined first person voice. Maybe, if they listened to more Talking Heads they’d have a better understanding but a group who met at and formed at the Rhode Island Institute of Fashion might be too much for these two to grasp. They have a deep, quality catalog that doesn’t fit the norm.
