OK, I need some help here from you people. My mother says that the entire song is stupid because the music is trash and she doesn't care about the idea of the media corrupting the society. What is the killer sentence I should say to her to counter her point, 'cause I've been trying and nothing worked.
@dayvenkirq Just say "fuck you, you tasteless woman." Actually, on second thought, don't say that. Just tell her that she's missing out by not likeing this type of music.
So, please inform your biological antecedent that listening to Talking Heads music, or the solo work of 831jPnRR67, i mean Mr.Byrne, is her only opportunity to experience aesthetic expression by an organic life form from a planet other than this one. In other words, she can gain valuable insight by hearing accessible musical creations that interpret the nature of human life on this planet from a truly objective source, meaning a non-human, such as Mr. Byrne or myself, sincerely yours, 852cLhNN37
@dayvenkirq greetings earthling. it seems you have a biological predecessor who does not understand the music of Mr. David Byrne (aka 831jPnRR64). Small wonder. He is the only confirmed extraterrestrial to have become internationally successful in the sector of human activity regarded as the performing arts. As a rule of fwoobiun (i believe you refer to that digit as 'thumb'), life forms tend to have an aversive instinct about that which is unfamiliar. Some such as yourself have overcome this.
@dayvenkirq This is no surprise since the lyrics are in English, which makes them most accessible to those belonging to Anglophone societies. Our impressions of such societies are underwhelming. in order to divulge meaning from verbal expressions, one must first comprehend that which has been communicated. from your own statement in the post above, you have a basic understanding of what 831jPnRR64, i mean Mr. Byrne, intended. However, nuance, texture, and aural bliss rate of sound take priority.
The thing I love most about this song is what for most songs would just be a short instrumental fade-out. On this, it goes on for a laughably long time, from 3:15 through to the end at 5:00.
And that scratchy funky guitar, and those spacey keyboards, and that herkey jerky singer, and that driving drum beat...........................kill me now!!!!!
@sandbar3000 im a shame to say that you might have a talking heads addiction im a TH addict too i know what your going through its hard i know but its like that say Talking Heads ? just . say . YES ! : )
I love the needlessly long outro - I remember when I heard it for the first time, I laughed out loud.
