Talking Heads had their own sound, and "hook". No doubt one of the great trend setting groups from the 80's. I like almost all of their work.

"In a way this kinda reminds me of something off Dire Straights' Brothers in Arms, but I can't quite figure out what it is that's doing it. Or which track -"

Could it be "Money for Nothing"? Ha ha.

I can't watch this. Each shot should last at least one second or it's hard on the eyes.

I like the music, though. This is from before David doubled the size of the band. That was a big mistake.

The lyrics don't seem very far fetched anymore... when the album came out, it was fun and rocking... now, it seems almost prophetic.

an older comment :
Having been the "plumber"
maintenance person at
the infamous Manhattan Mudd club,
summer 1979,I got a call 8 p.m.
to do a quick job for the next day.
for a BBC "shoot" of Life During Wartime - Talking Heads,
I painted the club grey for them when the BBC
filmed the song in a live perform.
Maybe this is the same show ? Maybe not
the stage & ceiling look a little more large & expansive, who knows ? Thanks for the
memory refresh
