[callumblakeley08]

sick tune dis blad you are all little bum wholes

[chcknsht]

I'm sure it is a "sick song" to a 14 year-old

BOY like yourself. Wait a few years until after your peach-fuzz chin grows real whiskers, when after your pimples stop making a mockery of your face, and when after your pubic hair looses its baby softness. Hang in there son, your day will come.

[drkstarsandman]

thats one bad ass tune

[KCVROCKS2008]

i recall hearing this on am radio when i was in 3rd grade, i must have heard it like 5000 times but i still love it!

[goldenagenut]

Best version of them all,this is a perfect recording. Everyone/everything is dead on, incredible song,love that intensity. David Byrne, what an amazing performer/singer/front man.

[justlikejack1959]

DITTO!!!!!

[ZoharahZ]

Ohh yeeahh....

[mammal46]

Awesome song. I love the Talking Heads also the Warm Leatherettes. Though I cannot find anything anywhere by the Warm Leatherettes an old 70s punk band that didn't get that big.

[Leveretis]

Oh. Ok.

[ravendofthemist]

cool baby cool

[ccrocks8]

this is such a great, great song! i love this band and this is a great version among many other versions done by other bands...i can't think off the top of my head..does anybody know who originally did this song?

[blestcurst]

al green

[Abraxas80]

That's the blues!

[Darquan223]

I played this song at a small town bar and it got people out of their seats. That is a true testament about how great this cover song is.

[ThruHiker52]

loved it when they first put it out...love it even more now.

[llds2006]

Excellent tune one of the best

Brings back so many memories~

[landrun429]

This song has chased me across 4 continents. I am still stunned/happy. Gary

[kpw11985]

Best album title of all time "Sand In The Vaseline"

[Gmac555]

reminds me of sopranos

[goldenagenut]

One of the best if not the best Talking Heads song, such an awesome song/band.

[fueledxbyxmusic]

They are such a great band, and their shows are amazing.

[decomposedpunk]

hah...this is in my record player right now...but I got better speakers hooked up to cpu. need to crank this one!

[huswsimonbla]

sand in the vaseline? haha wtf

[uglysack]

My brother knob spat in my eye this was soooo good! Thanks for posting....

[NORRIN68]

Rush Limbaugh, wrote this song, since I hear it on his show all the time

[joethecrab]

No, you stupid fucktard, Rush Limbaugh uses "My City was Gone" by The Pretenders for his main bumper music.

[47Freakshow]

ahh! This been in my had for WEEKS! I LOVE IT!

[Ravenite1]

Whats all this troll shit?

[WhereisMuller]

take me to the river,, lol is this a religious song? who gives? hey, washing me down, hehe ..

[ArtfulDodger333]

con song

[thegrammarfairy]

Well, it IS originally by the Reverend Al Green...not sure whether that goes to prove it IS religious or goes to prove it ISN'T... : )

TGF

[mamas2hip]

al green became a reverend after he recorded this song thanks to a disappointed lover throwing a pan of hot grits on him and then shooting herself.

[rooandcrew]

What year was this released?

[KMRakaKAT]

1983

[RozaBerry]

Its like those fish you put on the wall that sing!!

[andybeth35]

this is one of the best songs they ever did

[deimudderstinktvoll]

hässliches video

[acrosstheuniverse7]

I love the Talking Heads, and this song. what's with all the beef about age limits for

comment posting?! And saying that teenage girls like crappy music? I'm 14, and i agree most music today SUCKS..but that's really stereotypical to just assume that every teenage girl likes sucky musiclike the jonas brothers.

[ReverendNillerz]

You're 14 and not failing at grammar? Bull. You're a troll. There are no girls on the internet.

[acrosstheuniverse7]

ther are no girls on the internet? what the hell?

[ReverendNillerz]

You read correctly. Troll.

[acrosstheuniverse7]

Are you some sad little person that spends their life putting others down for enjoyment?... I'm the teenager..but you are the one acting immature.

[ReverendNillerz]

Quit your trolling. We all know your scheme. Troll.

[acrosstheuniverse7]

Well, let me just start off by saying, thank you for proving my point that you are, in fact a sad little person who likes putting others. And, I am done with this ridiculus arguement.

[ReverendNillerz]

Doesn't change the fact that there are no girls on the internet. Silly troll.

[thosjlll]

i think there should be a minimum on ages to post a response yeah 21 sounds good.when do they post on saturday after the cartoons?

[CerebralWTF]

For Kylie: there ought to be an age minimum to post.. like say, 15. Your opinion is pretty much worthless until you're, I don't know, 21. You haven't seen enough of the world to know what's good or what's not. You've only had Vanilla Ice cream, Kylie, no one cares if you think it's the best.

[thomasearlwelch]

there ought to alot of things but your not going to get that one on here...not as far as I think anyway CerebralWTF

[CerebralWTF]

lol yeah, right?

[thomasearlwelch]

Great-(I don't know,21) CerebralWTF.Well,I'm just going to ask a few questions and see if Kylie does know.Like this,how many times have ya been dropped in the water?

[humblestdaisy]

Yeah, CerebralWTF, good idea. In fact, why don't we just have all of the comments go though you first so that you can decide which ones are ok? That way we can all be protected from the utter horror of having to be exposed to people with different opinions than ours.

[seallan21]

If you were bellow 21, do you think you'd want to hear that? It's a pretty low thing to say. And really, it confirms that age has nothing to do with a lot things. Like, I don't know, being an idiot?

I'm 15. I love this stuff. An opinion is never worthless.

[lisalm66]

I really like this song. I think I was in 7th grade when I heard it. I am 42 now.

[gotbass7]

nobody likes you

[jarrett798]

take me to the river drop me in the water

[chcknsht]

Comparing "Ashlee Simpson" to the "Talking Heads," is like comparing "Sesame Street" to "The Sopranos."

[ukwildcat0059]

LMAO! So true! :)

[Notawesomeatall7]

Very well said

[gemzenith]

why so much space wasted blathering on about ashley simpson?who cares?

[chcknsht]

take me to the river has deep meaning(s), i want to la-la with you belongs on the shoreline...

[LeBonsgirl]

Wait a second. What about Ashlee's hit LaLa. Why don't we make 2 songs up this one and that one to make a remix. She sings great songs and this song reminds me of LaLa

Kylie

[LeBonsgirl]

OMG and KineticRic what about Ashlee's boyfriends band? FOB pwns this band.

Kylie

[S0zeUG90]

Yes, because Pete Wentz is the greatest bassist on the planet - Power Chords are so hard to play *rolls eyes*

Just out of curiosity, I take it you're a teenage girl? How many members of FOB do you find attractive? It's reasons like that which mean you're not taken seriously in musical circles, or in any really.

[kersplosion]

actually teenage girls are serious business, theyre like , oh i dunno, 60, 70 percent of top the 40 radio demographic...which is why top 40 has gone to shit in recent years

[happyhannah27]

Forty-Nine Year Old Geoff Bogard And Then It's On Birthday On May 11th, 1992 Call The Navy From The Ocean Down The Science Front

[chcknsht]

This band is dumb? Ashlee Simpson plays better music? Someone's discretion in music is what needs to be dumped in the river...

[dogsrool454]

i usually listen to slipknot and HIM and that kinda stuff but you gotta admit this song is amazing! i love this band also check out another great song by the talking heads "Once in a Lifetime"

[LeBonsgirl]

Yeah Ashlee's dumber than this band. She's a pig. She doesn't understand why this band have so much songs to write. I DON'T CARE

Kiana

[gotbass7]

your a pig

[thosjlll]

David Byrne one of the greats lok at his other vids shithead simpson sucs dinkie

[unamable2]

you guys wish you cold ever do this

[Donavanwise44]

talking heads suk korn is way better

[dogsrool454]

well if you think the band sucks why the hell did you listen to this song in the first place? plus you shouldnt criticize this kind of music if you dont appreciate

[ecrainey9]

What? Ew Korn is awful! And so not even reminiscent of Talking Heads at all...???

[LeBonsgirl]

Ashlee's music is better than this band's music. I love this song. And i wanna perform this song one day. I really want to dance to that song

Kylie

[goldenagenut]

The original video to this was played all the time on MTV in the beginning days- I've looked for it for ages on here, all their others are up, but no one has ever posted it, or they've taken off the original video, which was great! Someone please post it!!!

[Motherofpinkyobad]

This music reminds me so much of Ashlee Simpson. I love this song and at the start it sounds like Stephanie McIntosh's tightrope

Kylie

[KineticRic]

To mention Ashlee Simpson's name in the comments of such an amazing and talented group like the talking heads in blasphemy!

[LeBonsgirl]

Excuse me KineticRic i think this music is like Ashlee's music and i wish she'd cover this song on her new album 'Bittersweet world' because i have that album and what is blasphemy?

Kylie

[KineticRic]

Look, if your a fan of Ashley Simpson. Thats your right.

But lets not tip toe around the fact that Ashley Simpson doesn't create her own music, she just sings. Hell, most of the lyrics she sings isnt even hers.

She is whats called "Cooperate Music" meaning, it has very little originality from teh artist.

Whereas the Talking heads put in hours and hours of talent, thought, sweat and love into making their songs.

Thats all Im saying.

[shangrilawhisky]

ashley simpson= dumb blonde (now black head)

talking head= brilliant

[queball8]

i like this song so much i am learning how to play this wiht my band and this song fucken rocks the best one i know my beast song ever rock on hell hay

[hulabalu58]

ok, this is the song that would be playing as I make my fashionably late entrance into a crowded room, everyone drops what they're doing, stops talking mid-sentence, heads swivel, drinks drop on the floor, and all eyes are fixated on the sexy vixen as she comes slinking in, walking in time to the funky bass line, way to cool for words, for the song says it all! (hey, I can dream, can't I?) - T-Heads 4 Ever!!

[KineticRic]

Doesn't Rush Limbaugh use this as his intro music?

Man, theres no way that fat ass listens to the heads.

[April4th1984]

I like this version better than when Al Green sang it.

[GWWMANN]

my favorite version of all time thanks for posting

[floydianslip73]

F Yeah!!

I love it when its just an album pic. Awesome tune!!!!

And yeah Al Green!!!!

[hyuugamoto]

This song has a certain "mysterious" sound to it that I can't get enough of. Go Talking Heads and Al Green!

[crazymuma2]

[floridashorti]

Definitely one of their best! Love it.... my sweet sixteen I will never regret!!!

[AuthenticSapphire]

[castingtherunes]

I agree, the Talking Heads really shine here.

[jakzrmyheart]

[timkelly16]

[Annashorse]

Testify, the truth shall set you free!!!

[nessie96]

This was the song that introduced me to the Talking Heads...saw them on TV, and I've been a fan ever since...what a great cover of an Al Green classic.

[otherdog59]
