Burning Down the House [TALKING HEADS COVER]

[fireballpip]

cool!

[StolenClaw]

Man I wish I could play this song like you do, but my chords and quite as powerful as yours. They just kinda flop. XD Still, I like to play along with the only bit of this I can master. :D Awesome. (L)

[xLazyb0nex]

LoL dude your girlfriend is so fucking bored.

[Masterphonic]

Burn the fucker to the ground.

[xLazyb0nex]

I'd do your girlfriend dude.

[magicbrowny420]

you sir, are a trooper.

[xLazyb0nex]

A super trooper?

[magicbrowny420]

indeed. the most super.

[ghostridingthewhip]

Much prefer the original by Tom Jones and the Cardigans.

As the title for this video says, the Talking heads version was a cover, after all

[cstothez]

What are you talking about? This is a Talking Heads song....from their 1983 album Speaking in Tongues, In 1999 Tom Jones and The Cardigans did a horrible remake.

[Smeagle50]

hint, the song was released by talking heads about 10 years before The Cardigans were formed. Also, it's a cover of the original song rather than a cover of a cover. Sorry to feed you.

[MCHammersmith]

This isn't a Talking Heads cover, Tom Jones did this before Taking Heads!!!

[mitd11]

Maybe you need to SMOKE!!

[bulucette]

Great! That's great!

thanks

[grnlfe01]
