This was my first record. What I loved about The Talking Heads then was the slick modernity and the conceptual aspects both of the lyrics and the videos. At least some of it now has the pretentiousness of the New York Art Schools the band members hailed from. But the their musical taste and execution has proved timeless. And their visual sensibility was prescient: photo shop, cable news action boxes, and Internet attention span of "what it I was searching for again?", is all there.
PLEASE MR. WIZARD I WANNA GO BACK. I tried to click my heels and turn around three times and i am still here in this fucked up wasted world now. DAMN! I was hoping that it would work. Please! Mr. Wizard, as my buddy Eddie Money once said " I wanna go back, Go Back, and do it all over, But I cant go back I know, I wanna go back because I'm feeling so much older but i cant go back i know." I know i am not the only one that feels this way.
This is weird. When i was a teen in the late 70's and Early 80's i hated the Talking Heads. They were a bunch of crap punk shit. Now you have to relalize that where i grew up you listened to ROCK AND ROLL. Nugent, ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Aerosmith. Then MTV came out and david byrne showed up doing these spaz jerky moves. I thought WTF is that! He is FUCKED in the HEAD. Fast forward 30+ yrs and i love his stuff. The stuff i hated i now cannot get enough of. Go figure i was the one fucked up.
@Fuzy2K YES! I was thinking the same a couple of days ago, so I looked up the years they came out, sledgehammer was from '86 but Road to Nowhere from '85.
@dgleed89 just pointing out that when this came out there was pleanty of crappy music and there is lots of good music today. also, just because a song doesn't work with you doesn't mean it doesn't hit a deep emotional with someone else.
I was a tourist in Galicia listen to this song when a beauti appeared in d middle of nowhere.I gave her a lift to Ponteverdra then the tape was ejected when it finish and the local radio came on.She did ask me if i like the radio station and i say yes.When we reach her destination,she asked me to listen the radio for an hour and went.Then i heard my name on d radio and she dedicated this song for me;her name was Estrella,she was the main DJ at Radio Ponteverdra.Beautiful + friendly people.
@MyRorio this is an amazing story. I hope you don't take offense to me saying that I may never know if this is true (i know you no more than as this comment and thus cannot judge you what so ever) but frankly it doesn't matter.
@Nertrender You are right,it doesn't matter to you but it does to me.We all have an adventure behind a song and this song always remind me of the wonderful people of Galicia and the time i had there.
@folon23 and that is why the facts are unimportant to me. The meaning is true. I wasn't try to cast doubt. I was just trying to emphasis the awesomeness of the story. peace and love man
Seriously guys? Fighting over this shiz? 'We are not little children' Don't call each other pieces of crap! We are humans, we face trials and struggles... And for a matter of fact, some people get it worse.... And America is down in the dumps, the government is letting people lose their jobs and go homeless... Don't deny that... open your eyes and look at reality.. This stuff happens. We can't fight about someones problems.. you don't fully know how they felt or how great it feels to be doing..
a fucking masterpiece! so bloody true, every sentence, every word. This song always cheers me up when i'm pissed off and it helped me realize that there's pretty much no point in it, better have as much fun as possible - we all share the same destination at the end of the day :)
your not worth the time you black fucking self centerd retard dawn of the age mother fucking cave man! i will put you in your place you bitch... put you rite on the train you come in on.. fucking slave regretful thinks the world owes all cunt box. genuine fucking slut of the world arnt yah you fucking ghey cunt.... i can troll all day bru... *YOU MAD YET* if so... * good* you will be hearing more of me over the next few months....
@iarhungry chill. why do u care if you're successful? come on man, if people have problems you don't fuck with them, have some humility. It doesn't matter how bad the problem is theres no need to be a dick, we all know you can do things to so get back to your life and stop taking shits.

this is how i felt a month a go when i lost everything including a place to live. i was on the streets for at least 2 weeks and nobody would have anything to do with me. i thought i was going to starve to death. i found myself sleeping under park benches and eventually got smart enough to sneak into hospitals and sleep. finally i was taking in by a friend from a much larger near by city with a lot more resources and now im on my way to somewhere.
@islander658 Do you know how hard it is to end up homeless? 1: the government tries thier best to not let anyone end up homeless, it's nigh impossible for that to happen.
2: did he not have friend or family to rely on before this happened?
it's a sad story, but alot of people do this for publicity on youtube, don't be so gullable, use your brain.
@iarhungry ok to make it clear. i struggle with bipolar along with anxiety and depression which brings about suicidal tendencies which makes it a lot more difficult to follow through with government programs which i attempted to do. i also struggle with drug addiction which pushed family and friends away(except for the one i have left). and for your information yes i did rely on them a little too much and that is part of the reason why they all shut their doors on me.
@iarhungry i dont know where you come from but where i live we have hundreds of people on the streets. it seems to me like youve lived an under exposed life. im not proud of what ive been through but at least im not ignorant to something that happens to people everyday in the united states.
@jjallen1976 Oh so you're telling me the "GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WOLRD" as so many of you ignorant americans put it would openly let thier own live on the streets.
don't talk bullshit, and furthermore i feel that you only wrote those comments because of the fact that you like a good ol' bullshit sob story.
and if it is true, it's your fault, you should have got a job, an education and worked, ergo it's your fault.
@iarhungry in case youre not aware you judgmental ignorant prick the united states is going through the biggest recession its had in years. dont talk shit if youve never been over here. yes our government does let its people go homeless. it happens everyday and i never said that i didnt have 15 applications out scumbag! if you were standing in front of me i would kick your fucking leg out of your hip and stop on your brainless head. you dont know what the fuck youre talking about moron!!!!!!!!
@iarhungry furthermore I have an education and ive been very productive in my life until the past year. people like you need a wake up call and a swift kick in the face. how dare you pass judgement on someone that you dont know??? yes i used and drank to deal with my hard times but im not an addict or a piece of shit. your words tell a lot about you. I SAY YOURE THE PIECE OF SHIT!
@jjallen1976 Oh i'm the piece of shit? i have an education, a job, a family and friends, oh and i have had an abstenance from drinking for the past 2 years, so as far as the drinking is concerned i feel for you, but that doesn't mean shit, you're a lowlife that deserves to be on the street, most probably due to drugs or drinking.
don't fool yourself, life hasn't been tough on you, YOU don't know how life tough can be.
@iarhungry ok your need to insult people tells a lot about your character. number one i never said it wasnt my fault for being on the streets but the fact of the matter is i have had a rough life. why else would i abuse drugs and alcohol? I shouldnt even lower myself to reply to you but something tells me you need a serious reality check. its obvious that you come from a well structured family that pulled the shades over your eyes to all the ugliness in the world. open your mind a little
@iarhungry its obvious that youve had a pretty good uneventful(as far as hardships go) life. why else would you act the way you do. first you say my comment was bullshit and that i was doing it for publicity haha what a joke. then when i open up and tell you details you continue to bash me calling me a piece of shit and that i deserve to be on the streets. your a piece of work buddy. get a heart and a mind and fuck off.
@jjallen1976 See you have no valid comeback, apart from commenting about my life, you don't know what hardships i've faced, i'm a south african i've had a harder life than you trust me, you don't know what hardship is, now stop feeling sorry for yourself.
you're an american, it's evident you must have done something to fuck up terribly to end up on the streets.
most homeless people are on the streets because of drugs or drinking, usually both.
@iarhungry ok then maybe i was wrong about your background. that still doesnt change the fact that you judged me without knowing who i am and what ive been through. I know a women from Sudan and she told me she couldnt even leave her hut at night because of fear of being eating by a lion or getting bit by poisonous snakes in which she did. btw i dont feel sorry for myself. maybe there was a time when i idid but i dont now. anyway youre an asshole and the world would be better off with out you
@iarhungry I think my comments are much more valid than yours. the only thing you get accomplished is insulting ppl. look in the mirror and see the ugliness for youself because thats the image you made for yourself for being such an ignorant asshole.
@iarhungry there is a mental disorder for disrespectful shit bags like you. it is called PSYCHOTIC!. your a delusional self centered scum bag that dosnt deserve the time of day. your trash mate! and you have more then proved it by your comments. if i saw you on the street i would spit on you and any family with you. then i would be more then glad to beat the living shit out of you. maybe then your family would see what puss you are and you might learn a valuable lesson in life.
you're evidently illiterate so you must have some retarded disorder in your family genes that must have gone back through years of inbreeding, but that's fine because atleast the webbing hasn't gone completely to your hands as you've quite clearly taken the time to do an internet threat against me over the internet, yeah, you're a tough guy, sitting next to a computer making these empty threats, tell you what boy, tell me where you live.
lmao! i will flog the fuck out you little shit kicking 21 year old key board hero!. your a fucking retard CoD freak. your only come back is engrish powice dirt bag nerd syndrome. get off the *GAMES YOU JUNKIE* lmao!. see some sun light get that little dick wet and grow a brain you fucking moron... your mad cunt EH!. trenty from punchy eh you mad dog!. get on the go kick in some car mirrors eh! your tough!. fucking dog shit you..piss weak cunt. i will flog the fuck out of you given half a chance
@iarhungry the only reason he said those things is because youre an ignorant scumbag. i know people from all around the world so im not ignorant to all their hardships and lifestyles. i know its different in 3rd world countries and it must be horrible to have to live in one but dont get on the net and start judging ppl and calling them liars." things are tough all over"(cheech and chong lol) so stop being an asshole.
@UndoneB4Broken youre the one that comes back with insulting and now threatening remarks. i simply told a small but true story of my life and right away you were quick to judge me and say it was bullshit. your colors are bleeding through so i know exactly what kind of man you are and its not much of one.
@MrEnterthehole something in me keeps me going. im still struggling as far as finding work but im fortunate enough to have a friend with a big heart thats willing to help me out with a place to stay until i get back on my feet.
@jjallen1976 i would have helped you , wont see someone out on the streets i dont have much either but its good people like you that need the help .glad your moving on..been there did that ;[
@PUMPKINMAN63 thanks:-) my lifes getting back on track finally. im enrolled in a degree program for january and hopefully i start work soon. been a long hard year but i guess i cant complain.
i never thought The Beatles or U2 were ever any good or worth listening to personally but hey, we like what we like and i loved this song in the video as a kid so that's why im here and commenting on it
This song so reminds me of the movie "Little Monsters" and when my mom hears it she thinks about his movie....she thought it was a little weird and creepy to be a kids movie but I liked it.
OMG, back in the early days of MTV all you saw was Talking Heads, Madonna, Duran Duran, Billy Idol and the Police. They MADE MTV. And in an instant it was gone :(
David Byrne I suspect in High School was one of those artsy-fartsy guys that had a small click of people that would hang around him and would shun people that wanted in simply because he thought he was too cool for them...and, he was right...
Why does every decent song on YouTube attract commentators who slag on Justin Beiber, Brittany Spears and their ilk? Can we not enjoy artists like David Byrne without attacking another artist? I am sure there is someone out there who would verbally assault the Talking Heads and the rest of your musical heroes. Please: just enjoy the music.
@amancalledlum You can say that as much as you want, but those damn kids won't stop. Everyone has to act like an elitist on the Internet so they can look big.
@amancalledlum It's because Justin Beiber et al set themselves up for such an attack. I highly doubt anyone would attack David Byrne, he was a genius. Justin Beiber is just a whore for the music industry, but what does he care? He's laughing all the way to the bank. For every Beiber detractor, there are 10, 000 willing to buy his junk. People coming on here cutting Bieber et al down are just plain sick of where the "art" of music is headed, right into the fucking toilet.

@islander658 Do you know how hard it is to end up homeless? 1: the government tries thier best to not let anyone end up homeless, it's nigh impossible for that to happen.
2: did he not have friend or family to rely on before this happened?
it's a sad story, but alot of people do this for publicity on youtube, don't be so gullable, use your brain.

@iarhungry ok to make it clear. i struggle with bipolar along with anxiety and depression which brings about suicidal tendencies which makes it a lot more difficult to follow through with government programs which i attempted to do. i also struggle with drug addiction which pushed family and friends away(except for the one i have left). and for your information yes i did rely on them a little too much and that is part of the reason why they all shut their doors on me.
jjallen1976 3 months ago
@iarhungry i dont know where you come from but where i live we have hundreds of people on the streets. it seems to me like youve lived an under exposed life. im not proud of what ive been through but at least im not ignorant to something that happens to people everyday in the united states.
jjallen1976 3 months ago
@jjallen1976 Oh so you're telling me the "GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WOLRD" as so many of you ignorant americans put it would openly let thier own live on the streets.
don't talk bullshit, and furthermore i feel that you only wrote those comments because of the fact that you like a good ol' bullshit sob story.
and if it is true, it's your fault, you should have got a job, an education and worked, ergo it's your fault.
you dirty drug addict or alcoholic.
in short.
you're a piece of shit.
iarhungry 3 months ago
@iarhungry in case youre not aware you judgmental ignorant prick the united states is going through the biggest recession its had in years. dont talk shit if youve never been over here. yes our government does let its people go homeless. it happens everyday and i never said that i didnt have 15 applications out scumbag! if you were standing in front of me i would kick your fucking leg out of your hip and stop on your brainless head. you dont know what the fuck youre talking about moron!!!!!!!!
jjallen1976 3 months ago
@iarhungry furthermore I have an education and ive been very productive in my life until the past year. people like you need a wake up call and a swift kick in the face. how dare you pass judgement on someone that you dont know??? yes i used and drank to deal with my hard times but im not an addict or a piece of shit. your words tell a lot about you. I SAY YOURE THE PIECE OF SHIT!
jjallen1976 3 months ago
@jjallen1976 Oh i'm the piece of shit? i have an education, a job, a family and friends, oh and i have had an abstenance from drinking for the past 2 years, so as far as the drinking is concerned i feel for you, but that doesn't mean shit, you're a lowlife that deserves to be on the street, most probably due to drugs or drinking.
don't fool yourself, life hasn't been tough on you, YOU don't know how life tough can be.
iarhungry 3 months ago
@iarhungry ok your need to insult people tells a lot about your character. number one i never said it wasnt my fault for being on the streets but the fact of the matter is i have had a rough life. why else would i abuse drugs and alcohol? I shouldnt even lower myself to reply to you but something tells me you need a serious reality check. its obvious that you come from a well structured family that pulled the shades over your eyes to all the ugliness in the world. open your mind a little
jjallen1976 3 months ago
@iarhungry its obvious that youve had a pretty good uneventful(as far as hardships go) life. why else would you act the way you do. first you say my comment was bullshit and that i was doing it for publicity haha what a joke. then when i open up and tell you details you continue to bash me calling me a piece of shit and that i deserve to be on the streets. your a piece of work buddy. get a heart and a mind and fuck off.
jjallen1976 3 months ago
@jjallen1976 See you have no valid comeback, apart from commenting about my life, you don't know what hardships i've faced, i'm a south african i've had a harder life than you trust me, you don't know what hardship is, now stop feeling sorry for yourself.
you're an american, it's evident you must have done something to fuck up terribly to end up on the streets.
most homeless people are on the streets because of drugs or drinking, usually both.
iarhungry 3 months ago
@iarhungry ok then maybe i was wrong about your background. that still doesnt change the fact that you judged me without knowing who i am and what ive been through. I know a women from Sudan and she told me she couldnt even leave her hut at night because of fear of being eating by a lion or getting bit by poisonous snakes in which she did. btw i dont feel sorry for myself. maybe there was a time when i idid but i dont now. anyway youre an asshole and the world would be better off with out you
jjallen1976 2 months ago
@iarhungry I think my comments are much more valid than yours. the only thing you get accomplished is insulting ppl. look in the mirror and see the ugliness for youself because thats the image you made for yourself for being such an ignorant asshole.
jjallen1976 2 months ago
@iarhungry there is a mental disorder for disrespectful shit bags like you. it is called PSYCHOTIC!. your a delusional self centered scum bag that dosnt deserve the time of day. your trash mate! and you have more then proved it by your comments. if i saw you on the street i would spit on you and any family with you. then i would be more then glad to beat the living shit out of you. maybe then your family would see what puss you are and you might learn a valuable lesson in life.

@UndoneB4Broken Heres a few words of what i think of you.
you're evidently illiterate so you must have some retarded disorder in your family genes that must have gone back through years of inbreeding, but that's fine because atleast the webbing hasn't gone completely to your hands as you've quite clearly taken the time to do an internet threat against me over the internet, yeah, you're a tough guy, sitting next to a computer making these empty threats, tell you what boy, tell me where you live.

@iarhungry the only reason he said those things is because youre an ignorant scumbag. i know people from all around the world so im not ignorant to all their hardships and lifestyles. i know its different in 3rd world countries and it must be horrible to have to live in one but dont get on the net and start judging ppl and calling them liars." things are tough all over"(cheech and chong lol) so stop being an asshole.
jjallen1976 2 months ago
@UndoneB4Broken youre the one that comes back with insulting and now threatening remarks. i simply told a small but true story of my life and right away you were quick to judge me and say it was bullshit. your colors are bleeding through so i know exactly what kind of man you are and its not much of one.

David Byrne I suspect in High School was one of those artsy-fartsy guys that had a small click of people that would hang around him and would shun people that wanted in simply because he thought he was too cool for them...and, he was right...
PlanTonto 4 months ago
Why does every decent song on YouTube attract commentators who slag on Justin Beiber, Brittany Spears and their ilk? Can we not enjoy artists like David Byrne without attacking another artist? I am sure there is someone out there who would verbally assault the Talking Heads and the rest of your musical heroes. Please: just enjoy the music.

@amancalledlum You can say that as much as you want, but those damn kids won't stop. Everyone has to act like an elitist on the Internet so they can look big.
FetaCheese222 4 months ago
@amancalledlum It's because Justin Beiber et al set themselves up for such an attack. I highly doubt anyone would attack David Byrne, he was a genius. Justin Beiber is just a whore for the music industry, but what does he care? He's laughing all the way to the bank. For every Beiber detractor, there are 10, 000 willing to buy his junk. People coming on here cutting Bieber et al down are just plain sick of where the "art" of music is headed, right into the fucking toilet.
