Talking Heads - I Zimbra

[OldManRiver1776]

thats me at 1:21 the guy playing while everyone works

[jjallen1976]

I was just a young tot when this stuff was popular. I remember my father playing Talking Heads a lot though so its nice that I can get into it now at 34.

[lewisforsythe]

this song talks to me

[dmitrikatz]

The lyrics are an adaptation of Dadaist Hugo Ball’s poem “Gadji beri bimba.”

Gadji beri bimba clandridi

Lauli lonni cadori gadjam

A bim beri glassala glandride

E glassala tuffm I zimbra

[Gammelita]

Tina is an amazing bass player, very underrated

[trollfinger]

I think that might be Buster Jones on this one man, with tina.

[beefmageditor]

ONe of the 5 best bands of the Eighties. Talking Heads, R.E.M., UR, B-52s, and New Order. With honorably mention going to Husker Du, The Cure and The Smiths.

[beefmageditor]

???? Um. OK. (g)

[asxtc]

What!! no mention of XTC..

[baadpuddytat]

love how this one song from "fear of music" pointed to where byrne/eno were headed with "my life in the bush of ghosts" and "remain in light"

[parishiltonlovescock]

oh my god,i love this shit!

[nerdelicious5]

I love this!

[vandrop]

Dang it - I was wrong. Leave it to a Yank to post without doing his research! It is I Zimbra. I've been singing it wrong in my head for twenty odd years.

[vandrop]

It's actually I Zimba, no "r" and I understand it is a dadaist poem - utterly meaningless - just wonderful sounds.

[hoss1962]

trust the yanks to puts their "r"s whey they are not needed

[szealmusic]

amazing! thank you!

[bigbusiness248]

thanx,been looking for this for about 14yrs.

[connected365]

have you tried eBay?

[bigbusiness248]

connected have you got the full doc.

[connected365]

Yep - will post the remaining tracks when I've had a chance to compile them

[speedcrayzy]

what is the meaning of "I Zimbra" ?

[sputnikpanicpuppet]

Nothing. It's a sound poem by Hugo Ball.

[bitemyballz]

Grrrrr! Cuts off at the end.

[connected365]

Unfortunately that's exactly as it is in the documentary; the next frame cuts abruptly to kodo drummers - good in the original but out of context here. Thanks for viewing it anyway.
