Slippery People - Motet Plays Talking Heads (10/30/08.A)

who in the fuck is the clown with the cotton candy in his hair supose to be? Are they singing? because the lead singer is not even close to volume of the music. They put more emphasis on walking around like some stoned chicken than actually belting out the tune. Too bad because the music is good.

Skywriter: It doesn't come close to the original because they're errrrrrrrr....a cover band, performing their version of a great song in their own wonderfully unique, skillful and brilliantly executed way, and as a COVER band they're as good as it gets. The irony of you splitting hairs whilst comparing this fantastic rendition with the fantastic original definitely wouldn't be lost on David Byrne.

It doesn't come close to the original from the Talking Heads. Unfortunately that video is nowhere to be found on Youtube.

Very nice.  Great to see this music being reinvigorated. For a great Heads show check out the Rome 1980 videos on Youtube. Amazing stuff.
