Erm, why are people dissing Talking Heads? if this band covered this song then surely they like the original. The Talking Heads version is about a thousand times better than this.

Wait LosTimeProductions, The lyrics in this version are the exact same as in the (much superior) Talking Heads version, so any meaning that you find in this was in the original. It shouldn't take a couple of idiots wearing eyeliner stumbling through it for you to pick up the meaning...

Singer looks like a Trent Reznor knock-off. I call them as I see them.

Only problem I have with this is that it's the same cookie-cutter rock that has grown tired and stale throughout the years, although these guys probably came on the tail end of it going bad, so I'll give them some leeway.

Having said that, interesting interpretation, it just won't hold the test of time like the original.

Fucking buttrock. -_-;

wow, this reaches a level of terrible that's simply beyond description.

@AIAFHQ IT's really the video that did it for me. So go figure.

absolute terribleness... i hope they paid talking heads a bunch of money to butcher a classic. not even close. i award zero stars.

omg..... this is great!!! talking heads would be fucking proud!!!!

[kingkomquat]

taking an extraordinary song and making it average

[saltiregizmo]

Oh dear. Started slowly and I thought, hmm, could be an interesting take. Then they just absolutely murdered the song when it got going. Garbage!

After hearing this for the first time I thought, "This is a decent song, how could the original be better?" I watched the original Talking Heads version and as soon as it started I realized I've heard the it a million times before, never would have connected the 2 as they're nothing alike.

Yes, this is completely different than the original, less upbeat and I can't believe they would make it this way. Wait 20 years and show someone who has not heard the original this would be accepted.

Any kid could do this these days.. -
