He had a fascination for Brazillian music during the height of Talking Heads suddenly hating the avant garde he created abandoning the band after their biggest tour de jour/ movie release of 'True Stories'. When Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth (Keyboards and Bass Players respectively) released The Tom Tom Club record with George Clinton (Parliament/Funkadelic) and wanted to play their songs during Talking Heads tours, it spelled an end to the band that gave us some of the best dance pop ever!
Hello, thanks for posting this. It's a great song in which I first heard when the movie Blue In The Face came out. In case you have not already figured out who David Byrne is, look up Talking Heads. :) Thanks again! Take care.
I completely agree with reaJG72 - working with Byrne was a glimpse of brilliance on the producers part and would have set part of the stage for an American takeover for Selena. I miss her too - tremendously talented individual and a great role model for the kids.
gporraz, are you some kind of a non-educated moron? Because it takes a moron not to know who David Byrne is. HE IS A LEGEND, you dumbfuck. Much bigger legend Selena will ever be - her blooming career was cut short so tragically. He's in business from before Selena was even born, and he's superior in artistic terms as well. He ranks with the best. She was/is a star only for Tex-Mex fans... He is a star worldwide.
@Wacek4444 While David B is known for producing and TH there is no need to try and put her down, She was known in Tx and other parts of the states, gathering fans in every state 1 by 1 she went to and while her core audience were latinos she was known by non latinos as wellDavid has praised her b4 and after her death unlike you, a fan of his.praising the spanish in the song as it was orig to be done in english and always talked abt her voice,her life cut short wasnt fair2see her full potential
WOW!!! this is awesome!!!! so beautiful. i love the song and to see this video pays great tribute to 2 musical geniuses. thank you for sharing. Amazing!!!
Yes, you got that right. Selena would of been @ the very top of entertainment world. What could of been would of been the best female performer ever. Bar none.The world lost a precious gem when she was taken from us. I luv ya Sel....peace baby girl
I love the song and video, but I have a question. Is the teenage girl and the little girl suppose to both be Selena? Its been on my mind for awhile haha, just want some clarification.
Selena working with an artist like David Byrne put her on another creative level all together. The direction she was heading would have made her one of the most powerful performers in the industry. Her look, sound, and talent.......I miss her.
I have been a big selena fans for years thanks for the vids....I hate to ask but can you do one for la carcacha??? :) Rest in peace angel go into the light and be not afraid for god is love!!
This is a classic David Byrne style song...the second I heard it I knew from whom it came. It has Talking Heads written all over it. The Addition of Selena even makes it more "over the top"...great song!
idont under stand this song i dont understand the meanin of it the begining sounds like is aobut a lil gil who didnt go to school and is ganna get in trouble but then i get lost is like it doesnt make sene wat does vampire have to wiht the song
Oh dear.... don't think I'd admit to the whole world that I didn't know who David Byrne was. Perhaps you can check out his Wilkipedia page... or that of the Talking Heads... or their induction in to the Rocking Roll Hall Of Fame... ;-)
I was thinking the same thing...he is only known practically by every music person in the industry for song writing, singing and producing. The Talking Heads were cutting edge in their day...Had Selena not been murdered, and had she been able to continue her partnership with David, she would be a music icon all over the world by now.
Haven't you ever had music absolutely move you? Or had lyrics totally affect you? That is what this song does to me - it speaks to me in ways that most music, especially modern music, doesn't.
OMG im sooo happy you said this! cause when i tell people how music affects me sometimes they all think im crazy =) you made my day and this song speaks to me as well lol
David Byrne was the frontman of the band Talking Heads in the 80's. He also won an oscar for the soundtrack of the movie The Last Emperor. He's worked with different artists but in the late 80's he started doing a lot of latin stuff and started relasing Latin Music on his Luakabob label. He was born in Ireland but I think he grew up in New York.
Damn, i love this song...youre right, who is David Bryne? good memories with this song too, jammin out to it driving around with my mom back in the day.
satanslilprincess don't disrespect the passed. Selena was amazing full of such talent and grace. She deserves no critism from the likes of you and she certainly didnt deserve death at the hands of her fan club president. i love you Selena R.I.P.
i love your little videos. i usually hate when people post things other than actual selena videos under her name (like those japanese aname things and all that selena spice porn stuff) but i think your videos are quite creative! keep it up!
I hear ya. I hate it too, but I did put work in making my sims character as close to her as possible. It's what she would have done if she had never crossed paths with Yolanda's bullet. Rather than mourning her loss, I celebrate her life. I hope I can bring joy and smiles to other Selena fans out there.
I take requests too... and I don't want money or special recognition or ANYTHING... just to share with other fans out there. It's the least I can do to thank the woman who made me dance.
