I noticed that this music video is slightly different than another music video of this. At 3:17, there is a little girl who is singing. In another music video, there is an older girl who has hair. After she sings her part, she takes her wig off, which reveals that she's bald.
I have watched this movie at least 100 times and knew every word of it. My friend and I made the pilgrimage to Texas to check it out. We didn't see a thing. I guarandamtee you traveling is my life.
@floydfanTN Most of them were just people who tried out for a "talent show" the talent show turned out to be this scene. I think some of them might be people who worked behind the camera and then there's John Goodman and David Byrne. I'm not 100% sure this is all correct, sense I can't ask my dad at the moment. (he worked on the movie in the art department)
This would be better without such a lenghty introduction as you include here. If you're going to do that, then just upload the entire movie. I would appreciate THAT.
weird great film fantastic band :)

Watching this film again after seeing Napoleon Dynamite makes me think the person that made that movie must have been a fan of Byrne's True Stories.
