Talking Heads - Psycho Killer (Demo)

Blinding :-)

[@lordmanatee439]

My favorite version of the song.

[@psychocat5453]

Same!! I only like this version i cant find it anywhere on Spotify

[@mercedes_ggz2644]

Same lol

[@Sticknub]

@@psychocat5453 same im going through the same problem

[@lovewalruss]

This version is the best. I’ve been a huge fan for years and the rawness of this is spot on for the lyrics.

[@birdofbanditry]

yesss slay!!!

[@rundoetx]

I like this better than the studio version. More rock n roll and not so much 80's sync and over production.

[@whichoneispink5967]

Same Idk why tho...does it fit in better with the rhythm? I don’t really know anything about music so I can’t really tell what it is (feel free to enlighten me)

[@rundoetx]

@@whichoneispink5967 it has a more raw rock sound that hasnt been over produced in the studio.

[@Squeakwee]

ditto. it is my favorite version out of all of them

[@magicwindow6682]

I know I first heard this version and didn't know it wasn't the original

[@sebr6460]

Try the acoustic cello mix on the bonus version of 77. All acoustic. All good.

[@lovecraftfan2793]

I like this version way better than the 'original'. When I bought a 2005 vinyl remastered version the song sounded a bit off to me. Then I finally found this version on YT!

[@birdofbanditry]

fuck yeah

[@tylerkovalsky7692]

I much prefer this version over the original.

[@birdofbanditry]

agreed!

[@juancontreras2711]

The screaming in the "Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah" sounds raw and i love it, i love the hihats in the fafafa sections too

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me; I'm a real live wire
Psycho Killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far
Better run run run run run away
Psycho Killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far
Better run run run run run away
I passed out hours ago
I'm sadder than you'll ever know
I closed my eyes on this sunny day
Say something once, why say it again?

This version kicks ass

[@normannoriega9557]

Agree this is so much better.

[@TurnOntheBrightLights.]

This sounds much more raw; I'm all for it 😍

[@Harris386]

SPOTIFFYYY

[@spaceraceluce]

my fave version!! it has so much more pizzazz lol

[@UTAHbilly]

Apparently, musical perfection does exist. Kudos, OxBlood66. - Hunter

[@metalyan94]

So this is that other version I've heard before. I've always wondered if this was actually a demo or not. 🤔

[@bigdangerous]

So this is not a demo but a version from a live radio broadcast in '79. It was released as a bootleg titled "What the Songs Look Like," on CD at some point. Do you have this full bootleg? I've been looking everywhere for a full copy.

[@PrinceSqee]

Did you ever find it

[@robertomdmc]

Hi! I was trying to google the cd that you mentioned as “The songs look like” by Talking Heads and i only found a book.
This bootleg supposed to be a cd of Talking Heads only or Various Artists?

[@mollybill2709]

really , whoa, thank you

[@jay1jayf]

@@mollybill2709 He's wrong. It's a demo.

[@mollybill2709]

@@jay1jayf okay, thanks

[@LvL_7_Mage]

[@emiliomurkmere]

[@plzzza_]

[@robertstevens7033]

I just need to know where I can buy this version of the song. Vinyl preferred

I think this version is in the album "Outtakes, Demos & Alternates".
Soww, i guess it's there?

[@DantesS1nferno]

This version gives off more of a "psychopath murderer" vibe than the the studio version, which gives off a more "flamboyant Jeffrey Dahmer killer" vibe. This version is definitely WAY better, especially how he does the i-Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi's.
