Talking Heads - Making Flippy Floppy

[stekel60]

SHUT UP!...



[stekel60]

STOP ARGUING!!!

JUST.... listen......

[mookie2637]

I love Tina, but that bass on this is clearly a fretless, and I'm not convinced she's playing it. Sorry....

[daimoneu]

@mookie2637 The footage was filmed on different nights, and then edited together to (more or less) match the music. Maybe that's the reason.

[mookie2637]

@daimoneu Oh I see - thanks. (I feel a bit cheated now...)

[kandacebetts]

I can't help but dance when I hear this. It's uncontrollable.

[morphogenesis]

This song is the most fun. Such a groove and SO much energy!

Tina really glues it together. Her line is tight as hell and freakin' awesome! I adore that lady for her musicianship and style.

I really wish I would've been around to see this in person.

[electricbill2009]

Now, this is a true mover!

[BlackHole2005]

So I spend all day in college today watching Talking Heads videos instead of doing work and I come across the Stop Making Sense dvd and decided to watch it all the way through on youtube. My teacher then says "Ok folks it's time to go home" Just as I was about to start watching this. It's the only time i've been pissed off about leaving college.

It's rare to see a video, especially of a song, that has all likes. 100%. But that's because pretty much all Talking Heads fans are true fans. And no body could hate on such a groovy song.

[jakekarlson]

I was in love with Tina by the end of the video

[Baritone45]

@jakekarlson Chris beat you to it. He loved Tina and she learned to play the bass so they could form a band.

[MrThaigaz]

fucking amazing band is all i can say!!!!!!!!!

[horsesareok]

Tiny Weymouth makes me so happy. Her line is sick and she's modest.

[Ocelotness]

Look at little Tina just carrying this song with a big smile on her face!

[Baritone45]

@Ocelotness I can't hear anything else but Tina's bass line, well except for David and the occasional percussive flair, but they're just background for the bass, really.

[sstyblo]

flippy floppy sounds like an expression an adam sandler of the early 90's would have for sex

[Baritone45]

@sstyblo Adam Sandler could only hope to be 1/10th as creative as David Byrne and the Talking Heads.

[jakekarlson]

@sstyblo get outta here with your stupid adam sandler comments. that's an insult to the Talking Heads. please never compare adams sandler and the Talking Heads again

[sstyblo]

@jakekarlson r u people dense? Of course I think the talking heads are infinitely cooler than adam sandler; I was just making an observation to which several people fallaciously jumped to conclusions about. It's spelled f-a-l-l a -i-c-i-o-u-s when you type it into webster.com.



[WCarnation]

A band's only as good as its bassist. Which is why Talking Heads are the best

[Froebs]

@WCarnation You must play bass... ;)

[kimbolton111]

thumbs up if your glad talking heads was underated i am , i wouldnt want to know what they would of become if they became overated

underated music is amazing and real

[goatmanvideo82197]

Talking Heads is #1!

[madastrota]

FUCK YEAH! LOVE THE TALKING HEADS!

[RnDnproductions]

close change, watch life during wartime, they changed close.

[Froebs]

I love everything about this video. The heads are fucking masters of space. Lots of subtle things going on to make a better sound.

[MoveOverCasanova]

somehow tina weymouth´s basslines are of such innocent beauty and simplicity, the band would not sound even half as great with someone else on bass ---

[MrCatstail]

Try to sit still while watching.........can`t be done !!!

[jerste]

Chris Frantz should have invited James Brown at least for that one.

[allabouttheink]

I saw this same line up back in the day here in Tampa. I have nver been the same musically!!! It was gerat and makes me feel good bringing back memories when I see this!!!

[darrenable1]

4R2A78S this is for you, keep it up Spike... I'm coming on like a hurricane for you Spike 4R2A78S. Keep a lookout All Rockers.

[louiseduvee]

Made my 'legendary live 2' playlist. I had no idea this was on You Tube (or anywhere). Thanks!

[EXTENDED91]

Bernie Worrell plays the synths like he's makin love to them.. love it!

[DonnaKamla]

Are there any crazy bands these day like TH? I used to thrash the crap out of this album......

[louiseduvee]

I used to go around dancing for weeks, when this record came out - if a man didn't 'get' it, I knew we'd never be together - great little test.

[deltaguy767400]

Freakin awesome song, too bad it got cut down on the album.

[PRSouthern]

Weymouth really does tear it up.

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@PRSouthern very under rated as a bass player. her riffs thru many of TH songs really make them rock, plus David's rythm guitar

[nbarrasse]

such an amazing tune

[ILikeCalliopes]

Tina Weymouth was born to play Bass.

[Baritone45]

@ILikeCalliopes and smile or giggle when David or the situation amuses her.

[Lollarcoaster]

I'm glad someone finally posted this! One of my favorite Talking Heads songs, I used to search for it on here often but gave up. :D Rock on.

[VHflyboy]

tina is so good in this song

[pimpinhillsboro]

OMG

[MBloke]

Byrne's solo is just something else.

[mrbignose888]

But it's way too fast also :(

[turquoise70]

David Byrne is one of the greatest things that ever happened to music. Bless him.

[Maddlew]

Oh, and thanks zebike 10. I really needed this.

Sorry bout the double post.

[Maddlew]

It's about time! Now they've taken down crosseyed and painless. Not a single song from the Stop Making Sense Jonathan Deme movie should ever come off youtube. Ever! These are inspirational. Sometimes I need this stuff to get me through the night.

[srwillbond]

Thanks for putting this vid up, great song..

[boxerscomewithshorts]

Thanks a lot for uploading this. I was looking for it for a while. It was the only song from the DVD that wasn't on youtube lol

I don't really like the beginning of this performance, though. I think the album version is so much better. The beginning of this seems kind of rushed, but it does get a lot better.

[berniebaggs]

what are the odds... was looking for this video specifically and noticed it was added only days ago. i lucked out! i live for tina's bass line on this track.
