Talking Heads are a regular on my Pandora stations. They are such an important influence on a lot of the newer music coming out today. I had been listening to my "Stop Making Sense" album a lot lately. My little bit in the beginning is a little nod to Byrne's take of this song in the "Stop Making Sense" movie. I recently bought "The Name of This Band is Talking Heads." Live double-disc album with the first being 1977-1979... Phenomenal early live set and highly recommended. I bought it for $10 new on Amazon through Pandora. The second disc is 1980-1981 when they were huge and touring with the 10 person ensemble. I can't get enough... And so, I give this to you! It's a little long because I threw in the live verse too.

I think I'm getting sick and I can feel my voice going...

Very nice job! Great guitar playing as well.

[rasta1982]

ThanX! I just did a version of This Must Be the Place.

[prayfortruejustice]

Excellent job! Best I have seen or heard -- I was really hoping you were gonna get the e-string buzz at the end... work on that, ok ;)

btw, RON Paul 2012!

[rasta1982]

Ha. True, I totally forgot about that buzz at the end.

Check out my new vids for a cover of This Must Be The Place

[TheTypicalmike]

Dude this is simply awesome...I've heard many cover versions of this song and this is by far one of my favorites.

[rasta1982]

Way to go and make my night. Talking Heads are one of my favorite groups ever. I just did a Radiohead cover last night. All my vids are arranged into playlists too.

Word!

@TheScotland1967 Are all the Scottish as pleasant as you?

[TheScotland1967]

mmmmmm yeeeaahhh . . . . pretty bad and guitar isnt that hard to play . . . so

[okstereohead]

@pallet3473 In the Stop Making Sense version of which this is a cover (see video title) it is minor, but I accept being a little harsh as the studio version is major. I'm just more familiar with the SMS version.

[pallet3473]

you are wrong about the first chord being a minor. a lot if people play it that way but it wasn't written that way. However, the A is minor in the chorus

[okstereohead]

I stopped listening when you got the first chord wrong. Sorry but it's obviously a minor chord.

Nice Job..:)
