Talking Heads - "Stay Up Late"

[rostrhamus]

I could watch videos from the '80s all night long!

[tinderboxheart17]

My Mother claims that while pregnant with me ( I am 25) I would kick while she listened to this song, oddly enough it is still one of my favorites!

[Irishdancer49]

This is from Baby Mama!<3 Love that movie!

[Notecrusher]

i'm surprised nobody mentioned david wrote this after tina and chris had their kid. the album was called little creatures and there's also the track "creatures of love". i think it's cool that david was just writing about what was going on in his world.

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

Every song is just a massive hook 'N groove machine. That's what I love about them :D

[stucat06]

hahaha. Great song and video. Just going with the flow and producing a fun record. Love it.

[cookroger38]

AMEN



[SheriffTankStoner]

Tina Weymouth looks hot in that white suit.

[motemee]

AW!!!

[talladegajunkie1439]

I lost it when I saw David Byrne with those sunglasses at the beginning.

[AdiOnlySports]

I was so young... from what year is this song? I love it!

[DetroitPunkCity]

dumb lyrics

[ray26917]

i love this song i still got the record from the 80s ive never seen the video clip awsome all night lonnnnnng

[AutumnRMcG]

my little lady is asleep right now.....totally want to wake her upppppppp

[MrsMitchelMusso24]

i love these guys, my dad and i just died laughing.

[dkempf1]

I don't have to force my baby to stay up late, he does it on his own!

[Locoroco2fan]

@dkempf1 your comment made me smile, thanks :D

[Simon4642]

@dkempf1 with little toes

[TheSueshine1]

Adam and Melissa this song is for you guys !!!!!

[spietproductions]

This guy was so crazy man, his videos and MUSIC so entertaining!

[icecreamforpeace]

I want to fucking DO that!!

[WorldEffigy]

A total pedo song.

[grgeliz]

Great video and a story to go along with their antics.

[c2daj2dat]

AS A KID I SAID 'NO PUT THE BABY TO BED..BUT WHEN I HAD KIDS I STARTED AGREEIN WITH THIS SONG!!!ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS WORKIN NIGHTS!!<3

[AoJediinthOnlyking]

being a singer is about preforming with your voice

[sitonmyshamrock]

@AoJediinthOnlyking being an artist is about performing with all the talents that you were blessed with....anyone can sing

[wildcatter63]

@sitonmyshamrock You obviously haven't heard my attempts to sing... I can't carry a tune in a bucket.

[spietproductions]

@wildcatter63 I agree with both of you. I think there are some people who absolutely cannot sing, but I believe that's rare. Most people think they can't sing because they compare there selves to others, they try to imitate how other popular people sing. But sing with your own voice, like David Byrne did, and Bob Dylan. I bet if they went on American Idol they would lose the first round, even though there voices are so amazing. Just the way the world looks at whats good and whats not.

[ArtCrimeLog]

@spietproductions David Byrne has a very good voice, no problem here. Bob Dylan would certainly lose on American Idol :-)-but there is no way to confirm it as he would never enter that freaking mockery of a sham and a sham of a mockery talentless contest. Interesting also that it used to be shit plus once in a while bands like Talking Heads on TV, and now its exclusively shit.

[rollingstonesgirl99]

@wildcatter63 ohh niceee metaphor XD oh sorry that was randomm haha XD

[DannieRush]

Great abstract and obscure 80's video! More importantly, great song! :)

[hamnbunz]

when I heard this song, I came on out.

[bigbadbluewolf1]

Classic 80's song.  ;7

[Swagnerv]

New family theme song for our new puppy. Thanks THeads!

[theweelassie]

wonderful memories of my mum and I dancing around the livingroom to this song with my toddler brother.

[DaMoosanator97]

this song sucks soo badd,

[WeLiveToDanceAlone]

@DaMoosanator97 it's better then the shit you listen to buddy, flo rida and all american rejects? THAT music sucks soo badd. so shut your damn mouth.

[CamelToadAlfa1]

Great song, but that video...echhhhhh...

Some babies crawling backwards or something would be better than bungee cording bouncing Talking Heads

[royb98]

god i'm 13 and i'm in LOVEEEE with Talking Heads!!

[2112VIKING]

awsome weird aaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwssssssoooo­ommmmmmmeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[bungie091]

Wow. This is complete shit. Downhill after Speaking In Tongues.

[uglypinkmoose]

creating this video musta kicked ass ;D

[MsJdawg227]

My parents sang this to me nonstop when I was younger. One of my earliest memories!

[Bahleaver]

This song was on the opening of Baby Mama, I love it so much!

[Noromongrel]

I want to jump in the bouncy things too!!!

[handymandan100]

that looks FUN!

[hotsleepproductions]

listen to the music now!!!

[daegoman42]

Gawd I better not show this video to my 8 and 10 yr old, they're gonna beg me for the bouncy suits.....on the other hand I wouldn't mind having them either. Looks like fun.

[jrenae75]

My kids love this song because *anyday* I'm having their little brother. My husband found our 6yo son peeing on the toilet singing "little baby little pee pee little toes..." LOL!

[Remuko]

my dad used to play this song for me all the time when I was little =)

[Araclain]

@Remuko Me too =D

[ChrissieE5]

Little peepee, little toes...

[robajohnson]

One of ang lee's first videos!

[verylittleknowledge]

used to sing this to my newborn when i was up in the middle of the night. didn't help her get to sleep, but it did help me pass the time

[julieellenfox]

me too .. lots of sleepless nights my son is now 25 yrs old ! this music kept me going :)

[joebananatube]

@julieellenfox It's amazing how time flies, mine was a daughter, first time I heard this song was her birthday, Blows my mind she's done two tours in Iraq. This brings back memories.

[adamtzsch]

I lost 'Storytelling Giant' and I miss it.

[Cool70sfreak]

God, they must've had so much fun making this video.

[jrenae75]

I'm 34 weeks pregnant with a boy. Love this song. My other two kids will probably want to wake him up and make him stay up all night.

[MrTikitube]

I was on the set when this video was made and still have the white paper jump suit that the band and crew were wearing. Had mine signed by David, simply reads "To Ed Signed David Byrne". Its really rare and would sell, if interested, email me. Was a really fun day watching them make this video.

[KyrieEleison46]

great video

[feliciaplumley]

This song was playing on the radio when I was on my way to the hospital to have my second baby!

[kimbolton111]

@feliciaplumley hope you enjoyed the song amongst all what was going on :)

[khonnor2]

@feliciaplumley congrats. miscarriage? Music has it's powers.

[thatsMRpotatoe]

@khonnor2 I don't know if I can judge you through your comment and you know why? because I was hurt by the comment, did you intend to hurt me? You Mule!

[MrFofico]

@feliciaplumley you're lucky you have good radio stations where you live. Anyway, best of luck for you and the little one.

[AdiOnlySports]

@feliciaplumley Cool!

[joeysn7hvn]

Having fun , with nobody , like charlie chaplin

[annienickjenks3]

i love this song, i dont know if i would like it so much if i didnt have a kid, and i totally did not want him up all night- it's just really funny

[HydeMark]

Have you ever seen those Jonny Jump-ups that hang in a doorway? You place your infant in the little seat (similar to the little walkers with wheels) that dangles from the doorframe by springs and the baby dangles there with its feet touching the floor so they can bounce up and down like a bungee. I am not sure but I think that may have been an element to what they were simulating.

[RnDnproductions]

no offence to the song or video, but whats the video have to do with the song.

[thewickedfae]

@RnDnproductions You new to the Talking Heads? They were into kind of performance art. It has nothing to do with the song, it's just visually interesting.

[RnDnproductions]

@thewickedfae I've been lisening to talking heads for a while now, and i know that there like an art rock group, i love that about them. I was just asking what the video had to do with the video, thanks for ansering

[poughkeepsiejohn1]

God, they must have had a lot of fun doing this video. How many performers can say that?

[MsRayne2U]

Puppy, puppy, please let me hold you. I wanna make him stay up all night.

[glstudios]

@MsRayne2U it's baby, baby.

That is a good idea, though, maybe I'll do that...

[MsRayne2U]

@glstudios I know, but I had to change the words to accommodate the new puppy. :)

[MsRayne2U]

This song is I feel about my new, wiener dog puppy!

[MrRedFredSaid]

Anyone know what year this was made?

[ROBERTyay]

Yes,yes...

[jusbow567]

there is only two groups who make me dance talking heads and the b52s

[adamtzsch]

I miss my Storytelling Giant.

[harvey20c]

love Tina

[HipboyScott]

No magic here, the point of this video IS the wires; there is no attempt to deceive or dazzle us with the magic of special effects. Only the evocation of joy and play in an unfamiliar environment that is fresh, simple, and in direct relation to the song.

[gt40f]

@HipboyScott Yeah it even ends with the view of the production and director signaling the desired movements.

[lostpapi]

love the talkin heads lve the song would give anything to see them live and i dont understand why they arent played more often on the radio. they are kinda cracked out but the music is on point and amazing.

[marc08110]

YOU GOTTA ADMIT IT......THEY WERE AHEAD OF THERE TIME THEN & STILL AHEAD OF THERE TIME NOW....ONCE IN A LIFETIME,,,,,, AND SHE WAS ,,,,,I ZIMBRA,,,,ROAD TO NOWHERE. REMAIN IN HEAVY ROTATION ON MY MP3 PLAYER

[SJPIKUL]

Wishes Charley Crist would use this one for the Fall Campaign...

[kellywhite1974]

lv this 1

[Mr743162]

little pinkys..little toes...hes such a play thing

[paizlea]

@Mr743162 I think it's "little pee-pee"

[Mr743162]

little pinkys..little toes

[glstudios]

That sounds stupid, and I've decided you must be 10. YES.

[aquestionofkelly]

This song is about a penis, and I've decided they're all sperm. YES.

[paizlea]

@aquestionofkelly Interesting take on the video, but the song really is about a baby... unless you're aware of a penis with toes?

[porkupine73]

@aquestionofkelly  whoa I think you're totally right! heh heh.

[seashellbelleSUCKS]

Retarded

[gamecatcher99]

man, awsome song, awsome band, AND A HOT TINA WEYMOUTH!!

[rhajamon]

it's called minimalism. very intellectual. but... this song is heartfelt too. that's what makes it work. Automated yet still human.

[TheGrayGhosts]

Decently catchy...

[sparkyj99]

~~> He saiid lil PeePee...  HeHeHe...

[michaelhonscar]

@sparkyj99 Actually he says little feet.

[Videogamewalkthrough]

@michaelhonscar no.....he says lil peepee....then lil toes...no feet involved...except that toes are part of feet

[SheWhoPlays]

@iluvmartingale. Why r u?

[rostrhamus]

Amazing video and music from the last great 4 member American band. The simplicity of this video is its greatness!

[pucksterz12]

I miss original and innovative bands like this...

[iluvmartingore]

I hate this so much. It always comes on the New Wave radio.

[jordanwarvideos]

@iluvmartingore

Then why the hell are you watching this?

[regg41784]

how are they just hanging there

[USSRScrapper]

Great job with so little to work with in this video

[niknakattack73]

babies do have fun with no money. lol

[jbrenard]

My god, I had never seen this one. The lyrics may be silly, but this song is my fav on Little Creatures. Love this clip.
