Talking Heads - Road To Nowhere

[sixchildren100]

Dont like the neg words buh great tuneeee ; ) ..

[yakfish36]

This song takes the piss out of all religions. Brilliant.

[ae86twincammad]

every time i here this i cant help not think of austin machale coming down through a quarry back in his days of having his wrc toyota corolla

[cjt0712]

Hahahaha memories...I was 21 when this came out. At times I still wish I was. Genius.

[80jcf]

genial

[glowball01]

There is a guy at the company I work, his name is David Byrne also...

[glowball01]

Awesome song, simply wonderful, Hey all those who have given thumbs down to this...?? Are you insane...??? Go back to your Justin Bieber hell...

[MrDarkTides]

Amazing song

[magzire]

i dont see why people have to thumbs down on a great song, if you dont like it just go else where.

[Alex2the3gr8]

I don't even know what reminded me of the "Road to nowhere at the end" !!! This is getting scary!

[franfinesim]

why hasn't this video more views? too bad, it's a great song

[AnAutumnsDay]

Well the Republicans are anyway!

[fleamarket3000]

these guys were artists

[EAZYETHEREALOG]

television man there best song t they did.

[namejimmy]

really like this song :)

[KonstantineMatsoukas]

Timeless! Its cheery nihilism is actually kinda buddhist. It appeals to both my sense of joy and despair. So, it's gotta be 'true'!

[maddabdul]

@zachcraftbmx Don’t wish to live longer if you don’t want to get old. Old people are happy people too, don’t confuse yourself. The trick is, Joint the elder and you will never get old.

[ShizuokaDolphin]

There's good music in every era is you look hard enough - even now! This song rocks though, end of story. :)

[RichardHell1959]

Great record : terrible to dance to though ......

[marunuka]

@RichardHell1959 ??? =)))))) just terrible =))

[lhawkerNZ]

A timeless song. Memorable back in 1985, memorable for different reasons in 2011.

[TheCourtney00]

im 16 and i am obsessed with this song <3 why wasnt i born in the 80's seriouslyy <3

[WoodOfYourMother]

@TheCourtney00 i have the same problem :(

[gabotheblue]

big jock knew 

[Smallville357]

david byrne is the morrissey of america....uncontainable and unfathomable :)

[McGurnaghan]

@Smallville357 Except he is scottish

[Smallville357]

@McGurnaghan

hahaha :D whoops...pops told me he was american :) silly bugger!

[McGurnaghan]

@Smallville357 haha well i was just being technical , your pops is right, Scottish born American singer! So he would obviously identify with America more, Great music regardless!

[Smallville357]

@McGurnaghan

haha sure is! :)

[outoftheblueize]

@Smallville357 He's scottish wanky chops

[Smallville357]

@outoftheblueize

as i said above, my mistake...my dad told me he was american

[Saborabi]

This is the music of religulous credits...

[kolmwalter]

Great Song !!!



[sugarnads]

farkin vevo shit doesnt load smooth

[MsEdd1e]

yalking heads,brilliant.

[880User088]

I feel like a kangaroo and I fukin luv it !

[MrDrone1969]

If you don`t want the ads then use Firefox or Chrome with adblock+ installed. No more ads, simple.

[cueeighties]

Great!!

[lukedyks13]

Best song ever!!!!!!!!

[DarklingStar1969]

There is now an entire generation of people who don't see WHY they should have to pay for the music/movies that they like. They are so totally unaware of how the world works that they can't understand that these products cost money to make. They also don't understand that the artists involved generally need to eat...

This is part of the reason why things like VEVO are full of irritating pointless ads; to recoup losses caused by an entirely ignorant generation.

[KapStuf]

@DarklingStar1969 AKA the "young people are stupid" argument.

[Assimandelini]

@KapStuf

AKA the "truth".

[SnoopyChicken]

@DarklingStar1969 That's bullshit, find me some stats backing up that statement. With the invention of internet based music stores like amazon and itunes the "young people" actually put a huge amount of money into the music business.

I've pirated songs in the past, and then if I like the band I'll usually go out(or do it online) and buy their entire back catalog. Now with last.fm and spotify I can see if I like a band legally.

[wieslawl59]

@DarklingStar1969 Ok. So you blame the whole ignorant generation. Then explain it to me: how can it be that the whole music industry in the whole world , who put so much money in making the expensive products, can't even produce 1 decent song a year? If they did I'm sure more people would buy more. 

[GrungerLuke]

Old school! i love this shit lol

[arsonistmonkeyzblaze]

I sometimes unintentionally whistle this while playing Fallout.....

[downwithjedward]

@arsonistmonkeyzblaze this is a good song for fallout ain't it? too bad it was made in the 80s so it can't be in it.

[rogerio800mil]

Estamos numa estrada para lugar algum.... 80's

[fablesings]

Never seen the video before! Messed up haha.

[EMIN3MSLOVENIJA]

I like that it's not important how old it is anyway :)

[duncangray2011]

god vs the beast, a moth vs a humming bird.

[AnAutumnsDay]

For me, one the greatest songs ever!

[forzapsv]

En zo is het maar net!

[beecoz3001]

THE SHEEPLE ANTHEM :)

[chazzdurden]

I LOOOOOOOOVEEE THIS FUCKING SONG :P

[odiealegodediego]

Escucharé ésta canción todos los días hasta que muera

[Bashevani]

Seeing these two top rated comments at Talking Heads' song makes me sick. Fuck off.

[MariaHamsterLover]

The 80's. Such a great era for music! Too bad I wasn't born yet. ._.

[ralmeida23]

Hi,

In fact, I live at this phase.

It was amazing... tapes to listen on walkmans... waiting for weeks to the listen the Top Chart at weekends...

Regards.

[Burgycross]

yeah this song is much better then that gaga crap

[Burgycross]

yeah this song is much better then that gaga shit

[AnAutumnsDay]

Try living in the UK under the crazed Tories, and then listen to the lyrics of the song! ........... perfect match!

[mazza6595]

why does vevo get soo much hate comments???

[tomatoto64]

@mazza6595 because there are people who can't agree that a channel posts music legally

[gmcb007]

The perfect song to use when you've just went apeshit and go on a rampage!

[FetaCheese222]

@gmcb007 Wait, what?

[sleepyfrog1]

This is the song I want playing when my coffin is slowly disappearing through the curtains.... lol

[theslice2]

@sleepyfrog1 ......I've already instructed that very instruction....... it should piss the vicar right off ;))

[Alphahumphrey2011]

This is on a compilation for songs dedicated to Bjarne Riis.

[napomania]

@Alphahumphrey2011 what it takes to riis?? :-)

[svetlanalupesku]

MASTERPIECE!!

[Pittking86]

David Byrne is a genious for writing this one...what a genius!

[BlondiEmilio]

Unfortunately this great band was taking their ride to nowhere... 1991 said goodbye to them. I really love this track and think is their best! Blondie and Talking Heads were always the best bands to emerge from CBGB'S! I want to go Nowhere with them!

[FRANCESCA3814]

MITICI!

[pointguard180]

Love the Editors Cover of this song

[ComAntNeLib]

lol heard this in religulous a documentary with bill maher

[BigMrFirebird]

Dedicated to useless managers and bosses everywhere.

[littIenini09]

bad ass

[RossWatters]

my god this is the best song when your baked!!! tune!!

[jonnyevsky]

Happy Birthday David

"I couldn't talk to people face to face, so I got on stage and started screaming and squealing and twitching".

David Byrne

[TrippinLucy]

I want this song at my funeral.

But I doubt a church would let me have it, I guess they'll just have to bury my in the back garden like I've always said :P

[maris2ish]

@TrippinLucy ME TOO!

[robertojosedgzmoro]

Me acuerdo que estrenaron en México este video unos días antes del temblor de septiembre de 1985.

[tamityan]

このPVでトーキングヘッズを聴きはじめました

当時はレコードだったのですが

アルバム７枚くらい所持していたでしょうか

[MrBuira]

Excelente rolita

[cajademonstruos]

Dedicado a la monarquia

[gabe25591]

@RogerBravoLucas Pretty weird choice of song for a graduation, considering the subject matter, don't you think?! :D

[insignia9989]

@gabe25591 Better than just some stupid inspirational crap.

[gabe25591]

@insignia9989 That's true. Fuckin' wicked song.

[irkibby]

ALSO, what these people did with stop motion and imagination is bloody superb. Imagine a similar video today. it would be shit computer effects all the way through. Nah.

[irkibby]

I just need to come back to this song once in a while. Does anyone else scream along with David at 3:44 and 3:52 ??

[Druffle1]

@irkibby I do :)

[irkibby]

@DanishSaosin

Bless him, he's blind.

[swordhunter12]

So doctor, on a scaloe of One to Ten how high do you think the makers of this video were?

Doctor: Oh at least Fifty.

[beelzebunge]

the vevo and gaga comments. IT DOESN'T MATTER. EVERYTHING IS COMPLETELY POINTLESS. WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE. YOU DON'T NOW OR EVER WILL OWN ANYTHING. make of that what you will.

[tokyokisshu122]

@beelzebunge so true man, dont get hung up about it please just enjoy what's there

[perisic10]

Legends!

[DeathtoRaiden1]

People who still wonder what thne meaning of life is, obviously haven't heard this song.

[bartxg92]

Better Vevo than "this video is not available in your country".

[ArtSem7085]

dunno how this hasn't got more than 358,000 views D:

[headofapollo]

love this

[WHATYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

The thousandth person to like this! Epic song!

[billymorgan1992]

LITTLE MONSTERS!!!!! HAHA Classic.

[strictlysega]

what came first ,, this or sledge hammer?

[LANBritain1]

@strictlysega

This, by a year

[Sledge101]

@strictlysega This was a year before Sledgehammer - IMO they're both amazing videos, and S.H. was still an original piece of brilliance. I never get tired of watching either of them.

[GelGsound]

@strictlysega This was 85. Sledgehammer was 86.

[alexquelch]

Well we know where we are going but we dont know where we have been love it.

[Mumpuy]

i listened to this while playing the road to nowhere on crash bandicoot

[paiwanhan]

so that is what Stephen Tobolowsky's pool looked like.

[nov3019892008]

which year?

[Girlfriend4real]

This song brings back memories!!

[cook1atschool]

fantastic song love it, one of the best

[666tich88]

Perfect wedding song

[TRWolf]

3:42 and 3:53 always make me laugh when I hear the guy randomly making squawking scream noises!

[Jugglerclown]

10 people are on a ride to somewhere

[TheSaxonViolins]

@VasilisBotoulas A guy phones Guiness and says, ''I did it! I did it!'' They reply, ''did what?'' He says, I finished the puzzle. I want you to put me in the book.'' They ask,'' what's so special about doing a puzzle?'' He eclaims, ''I did it in a year, and the box said from three to four years.''

[bartxg92]

@VasilisBotoulas please explain me. When you say "vevo, you asshole"; "fuck you vevo" it is effect of watching obligatory commercials in vevo until right film will start?

[hedonism13]

@VasilisBotoulas

1. This is not a Vevo video, nor channel.

2. Important lesson: never complain when you get something for free.

2. Those companies have something called a copyright to protect their assets i.e: The artists.

3. Posting this will never work, do you honestly think someone from those companies is reading your pathetic little comment and be like: "Yeah, he is right! We should stop promoting our own artists and get our asses off Youtube!" ?

[MaryJane1462]

@hedonism13

Totally agree. Every top comments is now like : "fuck vevo". Boring !!

Who cares in fact ?

[ComAntNeLib]

@VasilisBotoulas really nice comment =D FUCK VEVO

[RSEO1]

@VasilisBotoulas nice...

[musicjunk1000]

@VasilisBotoulas at least you have better video quality! :D

[tomatoto64]

@VasilisBotoulas hey ! here's a bright idea ! why don't you shut the fuck off and talk about talking heads,that's the point of the video,right ? and also,be happy that VEVO posts the music you want to know because there won't be Youtube to remove it

[gt2e]

@VasilisBotoulas nice !!!!!!!!!!!! really didnt know where you were going with that

[JosephMelia]

Love it.

[THEKILLINGJOKE710]

love this song :D:D:D

[FaWanKa]

I feel only love

[galatura]

It's a good road to travel....would you like to come along and help me sing this song ?

[clashrogers]

Thumbs up if you believe 8 people are on a road to nowhere.

[belffi4]

[roe5745]

7 people saw Justin Biebers face and instantly pressed the dislike button.

[nevanevicica11]

i need 7 bullets

[setenteromusic]

FANTASTIC SONG!!!

[rednutbrian]

this song is definitaly about the pointlessness to licking a womans anus. although it has no purpose i think that its erotic and has a nice sweet taste, especially if the woman wiggles her bum a little bit in encouragement.

[gt2e]

fuck ye ya fucking cunts with yer shitty fucking ads i may as well watch the fucking television 

[jellyfishes123]

i reckon i was on a road to pointless the other day when my class and a few others went on a trip and i was listening to this on my ipod thinking "shit, im on a road to nowhere"

[labruixamaduixa]

jejejeje hi ha idees molt bones!!!

tooo nowherreeeeee.....se ma engantxat jaaa

[moodswyng]

@IsLifePeachy huh Greendale Avenue?

[AnAutumnsDay]

Anthem of all politicians in the world!

[radiocrash]

This is a song is a message to an highly evolved alien race

[moodswyng]

WHERE IS THIS ROAD TO NOWHERE I WANT TO KNOW!

[ChaosTwin]

i love 80s music videos :)

[SHINOBHS]

Its the meaning of life, i agree

[haroyzbe]

@SHINOBHS

If there is no spiritual realm then yeah,

It doesn't matter if you R reach or poor, celibate or casanova, die tomorrow or 80 years ahead.

And for spiritual POV then this life/world in only small tiny part from the real life hereafter

[xjsoverign]

taxi................

[Nielsjes1234]

7 people missed the road to nowhere

[anthonynewsome]

@Nielsjes1234 they - I here - prefer sheep contact -

[anthonynewsome]

'underrated' where? in Iran -

[gt2e]

@anthonynewsome hahahaha.......nice

[anthonynewsome]

@gt2e thanks - yeah - to many idots on YT -

[elektramunhoz]

I'm 43 years old now and by the time I knew them - 80's - I understood them - David Byrne IS THE GUY - but, obviously, they were not fully understood at that time, like many artists are not by now. Let's feel sorry for those ( a fuc... mass) who are not able to understand what they're saying and "pray" for people to start using their brains and senses...

[schribbbber]

Underated in the sense they where ahead of there time , I always get the feeling , In the UK anyway " That Talking heads are more remembered for their videos rather than there music ...

They are more apreciated musicly now than back then

[rearly62]

@schribbbber underrated, yes certainly however i disagree with your second point, they are remembered as much for their music as their vids and i appreciated them then and now. that is the danger of talking in sweeping terms when in reality we are a collection of individuals who often prefer to speak for themselves rather than be spoken for.

[garlyn68]

memories! my teenage years was listening to Talking Heads, INXS, Erasure and The Karrots. :)

[sa17ma18ra]

This song is kind of depressing...we are all technically on the road to nowhere. It's a scary fate.

[elektramunhoz]

@sa17ma18ra Sorry, let's try it again: You might have noticed there's something wrong nowadays. He, David Byrne, just saw it first. :o)

[SJ363]

Wow that running man in the corner must be tired by the end of this video.
