"Cities" by Talking Heads

[Toobaluba]

Nice interpretation.

[BucksStudent]

This is more like the rock version of REM's Drive, which they only performed live.

[Guyutica]

people sleep when they hear this cover, even if they dont want to..

[soptamer]

I like this a lot!! different but i like it a lot.

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

This is The Talking Heads on a brown acid>heroin>klonopin>soma>ghb>­oxy>valium cocktail !

[mrphic69]

not that bad!

[245champ]

The worse version of a song I ever heard in my life !!!!!

[mescalitoLen]

yeah..groovie

[pbl1]

"find a shitty, find a shitty garage band to play in"

AWFUL!!!

[gerry410]

It's not by "Talking Heads" u assholes !!! Just a couple of dummies that wanna waste peoples time. you should stop.

[UTubeBrutus1]

@gerry410 The song is by Talking Heads, but these "dummies" (and Phish) covered it.

[gerry410]

@UTubeBrutus1 I know its originally by Talking Heads. My point is asswipes like these shouldn't be posting it as "Cities by Talking Heads". They should write "Three losers in there garage cover Cities by Talking Heads". By the way they don't even come close. I saw TH in the NYU auditorium in the early 80's they were fantastic. 

[ScottieGAcoustic]

@UTubeBrutus1 Phish JAM this tune......David Byrne evens loves it

[sydbarret1973]

great cover.love the bass....good rythm guitar as well

[transonicbuoy1]

Decent vocal.

[sigmoid23]

Like it! Adds a nice groove to the tune...

[paullybizzle]

a cover of a cover of an original

[ncbloom]

THIS SUCKS !!!!

[intothetopcorrupt]

the way way effect bending on the guitar actually made this song improve a whole bunch. Right on

[crazykillah911]

i think phish grooves it way harder then talking heads

[JimmyDiggs87]

the wah really added to it. i thought it was an enjoyable cover :)

[NYver4get]

A cover of a cover. BORING !!

[kubaszymkowiak]

@NYver4get It's not a cover! Original, Byrne-written song.

[hugetrucker9er]

dudes, talking heads play it WAY faster! poor mans phish cover band... FAIL!

[shecanfilmit]

This is actually a cover of the Phish cover of the Talking Heads song. (I love both versions.) You guys get a nice groove going. If the drummer is gonna sing, need to bring him forward a bit.

[kwakky]

stop.

[Hunsanity]

pretty decent.. just keep practicing and it will get even better. and if you MF'ers want to play it slower then play it slower... one day people iwll realize that everything doesnt have to be EXACTLY liek the origional...

[cavelatin]

I really like how this is more chill than most talking heads stuff. I'm a huge fan of talking heads, but I sometimes feel like their music is too quick to understand. Very well done,

[bigboyastoria]

TOOO SLOW

[sydbarret1973]

im a talking heads fanatic...i think this is an unusual but good cover of a very difficult song

[geridg]

this sucks all slowed down. Part of what makes this song so interesting is it's quickness, and crazy energy. I'm sure you guys are talented, but this is a real bad cover. Booooooooooooooo!

[TMWSIY09]

Wow . . Thats some harsh $%&# !

I think there is a great groove going and as for the guy who commented on the difficulty level of this song, What makes you think that it is difficult . . This song = three chords but hey . . SOme of the best music is simple : )

[KookyKosmos]

Think polyrhythms, not chords, and that might explain the aforementioned degree of difficulty.

[hoffabus1]

might as well video yourselves taking a dump

[kanegills]

hahahaha brilliant

[MOTM47]

good job boys

i enjoyed it

[Galeno6666]

A me sembra una cagata.

[riddlergorshin]

EPIC FAIL.

[earlyeehawpickens]

Shitties.

[cidorlandu]

The tempo of this song is lying dead in a ditch somewhere outside this dude's garage

[gerry410]

I wish people would stop mis-representing themselves by posting videos titled "Cities by Talking Heads" instead of correctly posting the video as "Cities by KnuckleHeads".

Its a good interpertation but the mis leading title pisses me off. I'm looking for authentic TH videos and this shit wastes my time.

[786hanif]

this is brilliant. loping funk.

you guys nailes it.

[blasphomy]

this sucks.

[hellothisismeth]

Awful cover of a bad cover of a great song.

[TheRealCritique]

hippies could play music. As covers go, ok but fairly boring. Shows how good a song it is that even this version has something.

[stevieVantanna]

fuckn' hippies

[BigGreenProds]

Unrecognizable, none of the relentles drive and insistence that made the original so great.

[Ochenter]

That's right. ALways the original...!!

[virtue810]

yea dudes! good cover!

[THACONCH]

Phuck YEAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!!

[786hanif]

I think this great!

[prfctday]

nice... dark and heavy and funky.

[logos120]

admirable

[redmolliee]

the song is unrecognizable to the talking heads i never heard the other version

[Badacebass]

I don't know what these fucks are talking about but I dig this version. I listen to both Talking Heads and Phish and I believe the ONE NIGHT ONLY VERSION IS BADASS!!!!!!!!!

[likeastoolpigeon]

wanker.die cancer please.

[BananaPepe]

this sucks, its like an agony

parece q estuvieran muriendo mientras tocan

[123567Salsero]

Far too slow. No wonder the track lasts over 8 minutes. Glad I didn't listen to all of it.

[crosseyedpainless]

this is painful.phish didnt hurt anything cutting the timing in half but this butchers talking heads and phish version

[opaquiosq]

Terrible! Turns the funky original into something that someone in Birkenstocks would shuffle along to.

[ePhilosopher]

god you make me cry

[LaCatrinaaa]

I feel like like the faster Talking Heads version better portrays the overwhelmed, paranoid feeling I get from the song.

[pumkinbreath]

no phish slowed it down cause thier sleepy headded tuna breath havin hippies

[phishfollower]

Both versions are good, and I'm sure Phish slowed it down because their band is smaller and couldn't keep up that kind of copmlex-web-groove. It's funny when you see bands play essentially covers of covers, because you know who's tape they REALLY listened to to get the song down :)

[DaZzisthedude]

honestly this song is better slow. the talking heads original kinda blows, phish does cover it well. or did.

[hristos76]

very good.

[watchstrap1]

get that decorating finished

[FineTillYouCameAlong]

Shit.

[ThePhishDude]

amazing! sounds like the phish version and that is the kick ass version! excellent

[Alianger]

why so slow? not bad otherwise.

[marcusnor]

haha
