It's weird, I like to hate it. When I frist heard this back in '05, I totally thought it was black chicks from '89, like JJ Fad 'er something. But I finally saw the video today, never knew it existed. It explains alot. It's just retarded, the video doesn't help. Really. Just like the Tom Tom version. Retarded.
Thank you for sharing the legacy of your weird-hating self before it dies, leaving Heaven here for the rest of us. We will be sure to make an example of your brilliance for posterity.
From just before 2:00 to 2:42 (it does start at 1:17, but that section only foes to 1:36) is a pretty inventive take for this song. It is one of these few songs that is rarely covered, probably as it is hard to do better than the original, and for the rest of this version, it is an exact copy, not quite as perfect as the Tom Tom Club's original versions. They should have begun with the original approach and limited the cover band stuff....
Another from Chicks on Speed doing a remix of the Tom Tom Club "Wordy Rappinghood" --> and if you don't know who the Tom Tom Club is --> It is the Talking Heads minus David Brynne
This sucks!!!!!!!! it is just a copy of one of the geatest songs from the 80`s...this chicks just remade the coolest thing and believe they are cool then???? argh!
The original is from Tomtom Club. I searched for it here on YOUTUBE but it seems like it's not there. This version is funny too, but I prefer the original.
It's darn near impossible to improve on the original, remember this was esentially 3/4 of talking heads. Understated but really creative and cool as heaven!
wow! I used to listen to this song in clubs when i was 16, they were the first times i went dancing and I fell soon in love with this song: i've been seekin it for 5 years!!!!!! and now I found it!!! =)))
Hey, try to check this new Indie/Disco/Punk band, RedHead Outdoors, give us 10 secs, I'm sure that if you like Chicks on Speed you will like this new band.
Oraleeee la original...la pista esta igualita a la version ke sacaron las C3Q's en la novela de rebelde...igualita la pista...pero ps...esta mucho mejor esta version XDDD
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
seen this band supporting chili peppers in manchester england. god they were awful, in fact they were booed of and then one of the peppers nearly got in a fight cuase he was going steady with her( thats how they got the gig i suppose)
the original by tomtom is a classic but i think this version is much better...even the words are the same and inistruments... and beat.. but theyve added more instruments and beats and it sounds just MORE better.. thats why artists do covers of old songs ... I LIKE THIS BETTER!!!
What a complete insult to The Tom Tom Club. Rip the complete beat and copy the vocals as close as possible. What were this band thinking. Get a job out of the music business if your doing crap like this. And as for the video, I'm crying for the old cartoon by Rizzi (but so happy they didn't try to replicate and trash that too). Keep your lazy, greedy mitts of the TTC.
There was some great TTC vids of WordyRappinghood on here until recently. A great dance show video with the Scene Funkateers dancing to it and an amazing performance TTC did on some pop show back in the early 80's but the record industry is getting YT to pull everything; all music is going off YT. Even this COS vid will disappear soon. The music industry really does have it's head stuffed firmly up it's own ass.
It's funny how I initially couldn't stand this song (especially the refrain). Unfortunately, it got stuck in my head and I can't help mumbling it from time to time. Guess I gotta live with it.
It's important to realize that this version is a PASTICHE. CoS are art/musicians. Didn't you see them at Art Basel Miami? According to The Oxford English Dictionary "Pastiche" is defined as: "a medley of various ingredients; a hotchpotch, farrago, jumble." Wikipedia goes on to say: "In this usage, the term denotes a literary technique employing a generally light-hearted tongue-in-cheek imitation of another's style; although jocular, it is usually respectful." Also, TT Club likes this version...
Why bother doing this? It's not so different from the original, it hasn't got that much invention or personality of its own. It's just like a cheap, plastic fake version of an good watch. Which I can understand with watches, they can be very expensive but everyone can afford Tom Tom Club's original song so why bother doing this to it? Utterly pointless.
