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)
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.
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.
This is just great. I love Talking Heads. You should do Psycho Killer next. Did she have a tablet with the lyrics on it? Was that what she was looking at?
cool!

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
