True Stories was dyn-o-mite. Nobody got it when it came out. Nobody. Byrne is a flippin genius. He may not be the greatest artist to work with on a project (like Peter Gabriel), but they are both musical and lyrical geniuses. I think I was one of the only people in my high school who dug Talking Heads. My friends who I grew up with (and who are now in our late 50's) still don't get why I'm such a fan.
They are a brilliant band and were so ahead of the times. They remain one of my favourite bands and after all these years of listening to them i seam to appreciate them more and more as time moves on. Did you also listen to the Tom Tom Club, again they were ahead of their time.
The best Talking Heads song ever is ? Whatever you think it is Just something I believe in when people try comparing Whos the best at literally everything
Scroll through your social media feeds while this song is playing, on another tab. The effect is the EXACT same thing as this video. Talking Heads are LIGHT YEARS ahead of us all.
@Billy Batts jam and jelly are two different things. Jelly is made from just the juice, jam is made from the cooked fruit. Both are considered preserves.
This might be my new most favorite song and video ever... I was stuck on "Road To Nowhere" for a while, not even having listened to this album or seen the film... I'll be 40 in a couple of months... my parents used to play some TH stuff growing up, but never deeper cuts, always the same hand full of "Top 40" hits.... I now feel like I've been robbed of this audio and visual experience for a large chunk of my life now.... this album lives on repeat for now....
I swear I know exactly what You mean! I have been "rediscovering" them in a much deeper way lately...like obsessed. I remember listening to them as a kid and then being the first band that I really connected with. Now I'm listening to their deep cuts on repeat... And being crazy over "Air" and "Artists Only" especially the live versions... And don't even get me started on Houses in Motion... Hahha
Saw this video once when it came out. Completely forgot about it until a few weeks back when I saw True Stories and there it was. Great song,loved the movie,thanks!
Masterful video, wonderfully done, loaded with obvious images of crass commercialism - and a killer song that's instantly likeable - and yet it is still just a silly love song - as all the best songs mostly are! For the opposite sentiment, go see Van Halen's "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" - another song of pure genius - just as crass as this one, and yet darker in tone. Love them both!
Talking Heads don't just consume African rhythms, they are inspired by them and take them in as part of themselves. Love this video so much. It makes me want to make music too.
It's actually more of a celebration. If you've watched the movie (which I highly recommend doing if you haven't), the whole film is about the beauty in everything, from warehouses to advertisements!
by the 1980s advertising and branding had gotten really good. How they try to emotionally manipulate you had gotten good too. The Talking Heads recognized this quite well and mocked it in a rather innocent way here... and with a damn good song with a great beat. The rhythm section of Franz/Weymouth here is so damn tight!
This is song is prophetic and full of a doomy, gloomy outlook on our blatant consumerism. It reminds me of Devo's "Beautiful World". Seems so benign and sunny. It's not. This song is a warning. The video is PERFECT at broadcasting its true meaning to anyone wanting to understand what's really going on. On the musical side though, this song just infects my ears and I GET ADDICTED. I could play this song dozens of times per day and have over the years many, many times. That riff IS OUTMATCHED NOWHERE.
I was born in a house with the television always on Guess I grew up too fast And I forgot my name We're in cities at night and we got time on our hands. So leave the driving to us. And it's the real thing. And you're rolling In the blender With me. And I can love you Like a color TV. Now love is here C'mon and try it I got love for sale Got love for sale And now love is here C'mon and try it Got love for sale, Got love for sale. You can put your lipstick all over my designer jeans. I'll be a video for you. If you turn my dial. You can cash my check if you go down to the bank You get two for one For a limited time. Push my button... The toast pops up Love and money Gettin' all Mixed up And now love is here C'mon and try it. I got love for sale Got love for sale Love is here C'mon and try it I got love for sale I got Love Love Love Love Love Love Love Love
That was so rare in the 80s, the golden age of MTV. Everybody had to have A Look. Talking Heads had weirdness on their side, though. And sometimes a giant white suit 😄
The crazy thing is, their first ever show was at CBGB’s opening for the Ramones. So you had these insane punk bands then just these nerdy art students.
It's both right? I was surprised how some of these ads are just the same today, (like the whole chocolate-falling-into-waterfall-of-liquid-chocolate gimmick.)
Wow!!! It’s been a while since I’ve heard this song, it sounds amazing and fun just like it did 1986, here in 2024 so killer and fun amazing music and visuals of mass consumption and consumerism in 1986. Before our current world situation, there was music that was made by people that played instruments and not some AI. Thank you for posting this video and sharing it with me and the people who have experienced happiness.

That bass drum on this song is so massive. Love that thumping bass drum sound
Chris Frantz now age 73. Totally an underrated drummer 🥁.
💥💖 YES! 💖💥
This band was way ahead of its time. Brilliant sound and image was truly authentic
They were OF their time. I was there. I still live there (musically).
And David's imagination is why their videos are so awesome
Talking heads is slowly becoming my favorite band
After watching a bit of stop making sense and going down a bit of a rabbit hole, I agree
slowly is the wrong word usage! speed that shiz up
Try to find True Stories the movie and see John Goodman's debut to this song
True Stories was dyn-o-mite. Nobody got it when it came out. Nobody. Byrne is a flippin genius. He may not be the greatest artist to work with on a project (like Peter Gabriel), but they are both musical and lyrical geniuses. I think I was one of the only people in my high school who dug Talking Heads. My friends who I grew up with (and who are now in our late 50's) still don't get why I'm such a fan.
They do that, it just grows on you...the brilliance is amazing!
Missed David Byrne and Talking Heads at their peak but a friend put me on to them and I have become a great fan. One of the greatest bands.
Its never late!!!!
I had just got into them and saw them at Merriweather for the little creatures tour
They are a brilliant band and were so ahead of the times. They remain one of my favourite bands and after all these years of listening to them i seam to appreciate them more and more as time moves on. Did you also listen to the Tom Tom Club, again they were ahead of their time.
There was no Little Creatures tour... Last ever show was the Speaking In Tongues tour in New Zealand 1984@@nealzo007
@@maggieblyth2077 They were OF their time. I was there.
'I was born in a house with a television always on". Best intro ever
The story of my life
My internet back in the day
"Damn that television, what a bad picture"
Mine's like that now! 😬
David Byrne is an underrated genius of the music, someone who was ahead of his time.
Guido Matias agreed he was weird and artistic 30 years before Lady Gaga started doing it
After seeing Stop Making Sense, I agree!
Too bad he doesn't know how to be human or kind or compassionate or sharing
@@anthonypicco7811 Yeah yeah.
@@anthonypicco7811 How long ago was that?
They were way ahead of their time! Great band!
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Talking Heads
@@MassiveFish-hp4pmAlso, Data Rock is heavily influenced by Talking Heads
Have so many Talking Heads faves. So hard to decide which is the best one though!

Fear of Music is my life’s blood. Come on, Memories Can’t Wait?! Sheer perfection.

Talking Heads are LIGHT YEARS ahead of us all.
They were the last rock band. Rock died when they broke up.
Lately what I'm scrolling through doesn't deserve this soundtrack!
Talking Heads rule forever
The year is 2245 and Talking Heads is still a must one ....
Clicked for the pizza. Stayed for the jam.
TeeHee!!!
@Billy Batts jam and jelly are two different things. Jelly is made from just the juice, jam is made from the cooked fruit. Both are considered preserves.

A fudge covered Tina Weymouth is the ultimate treat 😍

Genious Band of the 80's.Simply Amazing.Incroyable vraiment.
Saw this video once when it came out. Completely forgot about it until a few weeks back when I saw True Stories and there it was. Great song,loved the movie,thanks!
I had all TH records, love them so much! Very ahead of its time for sure, too smart and talented
It only took me thirty-two years to see this ended up a video on it's own. Thanks, David.
I've been love this song for a long time but I finally watched music video for the first time. This is AWESOME !!
So good, so amazing, and so good to grow up with!
I love the guitar tone in this song so heavy🤘🤘
💥💖 YES! 💖💥
Thanks David Byrne. Last time I searched for this on UA-cam, it wasn't here.
Adoro esse som 😍

I've loved this song for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen the video. So many memories holy shit.
this vid is 100 years ahead of its time
Light years ahead of their time.
Hey you I think you would like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Talking Heads
I didn't know this song has a video! Loved it so much
If you haven't seen this movie, you really owe it to yourself. The entire thing is incredible.
Excelente canción y excelente video, no pierde vigencia , Talking Heads otra banda gloriosa de los 80 !!
Truly a funny video. Great fun. Some of these old commercials sure bring back some fond old memories.
Pop culture from the past. I tried Diet Chocolate Fudge soda. Sludge is more like it tastes like.
I think you missed the point of the song
Talking Heads don't just consume African rhythms, they are inspired by them and take them in as part of themselves. Love this video so much. It makes me want to make music too.
Yes! indeed! The best video of the 80's no doubt about it GENIUS! from planet
Earth.
If they thought corporate advertising and power was an issue in the 1980's...
That is just the beginning.
🔥 🔥 🔥 Everything is fine! 🔥 🔥 🔥
It's actually more of a celebration. If you've watched the movie (which I highly recommend doing if you haven't), the whole film is about the beauty in everything, from warehouses to advertisements!
@Pinky Larou Y- you can hear from David Byrne himself, lol.
A classic song but I've never seen this video before, dismantling the consumer society.

Watch the David Byrne movie "True Stories". This is from that movie.
@@Mr.White10-65 That's a great movie. I have seen it and I have the album too.
Talking Heads is a legendary band

@@tomcarl8021 :D :D but .. is it really?
Agree!
this song sends shivers everywhere
I was born in a house with the television always on

So leave the driving to us.
And it's the real thing.
And you're rolling
In the blender
With me.
And I can love you
Like a color

Real rock and roll.
I love how the Talking Heads don't look like a band. They look like 4 random people.

Thanks for some of the best songs I ever heard.

If not for Mtv, the Talking Heads would have stayed a little hidden gem
Video Géniale !
Hell of a riff !!!!
real great song
Love the silhouette of the band in their original 4 member glory!
TH really represented the 80s...such an 80s sound
Top vídeo
God i miss the 80's... i'm proud i was a teen in that era.

So good

Coolest band
* dials number * *"Hi, I'd like to order 100 chocolate David Byrnes, thanks."*
Haha, yes please
They should have made that a thing. With the Chris and Tina packaged together of course.
More & more chocolate indeed!
Don't forget to try the Jerry.
Delicious!
Favourite.

Oui! Monsieur Byrne indeed!
I Love that tune indeed.
Came here by the chocolate add! Kidding .TH great band, I lived the 80's so intensely!
Inteligent and one of most importants bands that research World Music
Hey you I think you would like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Talking Heads
The intro and verse are very grunge-y. Very cool track.
David is a genius, as are Chris and Tina and Jerry. Learn their last names. They are all amazing artists.
David Weymouth, Tina Harrison, Chris Byrne, and Jerry Frantz 😎
@@iwillberightzack No? Dude, it's obviously David Harrison, Jerry Byrne, Tina Frantz and Chris Weymouth.
Get it right.
Having a right angle bath loving this song.
Some more brilliance from the TH… 😊
pure genius
We have always loved that video and nowadays we can show it to our students.
Looking good David. Great job on "This Must Be the Place" movie!!
Byrne was a prophet
Jerry singing in the shower. 🤣😍
Jerry in general😂
Genial em 86 e ainda genial em 2022.
me encantan
It's funny that what was a critique of advertising is now a time capsule.
It's both right? I was surprised how some of these ads are just the same today, (like the whole chocolate-falling-into-waterfall-of-liquid-chocolate gimmick.)
What a blast from the past; the 80's music, thankfully I get to watch it here.
richie p Canfield’s Diet Chocolate Sludge.
It's not a critique, it's a celebration!
Joe Blow Commercials like these are a great look at pop culture back then
The 80s are awesome 😎😎
This video is really really good!
Could not be done today without being sued.
