Talking Heads_Found A Job (Live at Entermedia Theatre, 1978)

UNRELEASED PERFORMANCE VIDEO BY TALKING HEADS. TALKING HEADS, FOUND A JOB (VERY RARE).

Lyrics:

"Damn that television ... what a bad picture"!
"Don't get upset, It's not a major disaster".
"There's nothing on tonight", he said, "I don't know
what's the matter"!
"Nothing's ever on", she said, "so ... I don't know
why you bother."

We've heard this little scene, we've heard it many times.
People fighting over little things and wasting precious time.
They might be better off ... I think ... the way it seems to me.
Making up their own shows, which might be better than T.V.

(CHORUS)

Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations.
Bob is on the street today, scouting up locations.
They've enlisted all their family.
They've enlisted all their friends.
It helped saved their relationship,
And made it work again ...

Their show gets real high ratings, they think they have a hit.
There might even be a spinoff, but they're not sure 'bout that.
If they ever watch T.V. again, it'd be too soon for them.
Bob never yells about the picture now, he's having
too much fun.

(CHORUS)

Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations,
Bob is on the street today, scouting up locations.
They've enlisted all their family.
They've enlisted all their friends.
It helped save their relationship,
And made it work again ...

So think about this little scene; apply it to you life.
If your work isn't what you love, then something isn't right.
Just look at Bob and Judy; they're happy as can be,
Inventing situations, putting them on T.V.

(CHORUS)

Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations.
Bob is on the street today, scouting up locations.
They've enlisting all their family.
They've enlisted all their friends.
It helped save the relationship,
And made it work again ...

Talking Heads was an American rock band formed in 1974 in New York City and active until 1991. The band comprised David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth and Jerry Harrison. Auxiliary musicians also frequently made appearances in concert and on the group's albums.

The music of Talking Heads combined elements of punk rock, new wave, pop, funk, world music and art rock. Frontman and songwriter David Byrne contributed whimsical, esoteric lyrics to the band's songs, and emphasized their showmanship through various multimedia projects and performances. Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine describes Talking Heads as being "one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the '80s, while managing to earn several pop hits."

In 2002, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Four of the band's albums appeared on Rolling Stone magazine's 2003 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and the Channel 4 100 Greatest Albums poll listed one album (Fear of Music) at number 76. Their concert film Stop Making Sense is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of the genre.

deciphering what your nick could mean was almost as much fun as the video.

[dadaisticsurgeon]

Who knows! It's dadaistic stuff ;)

[popofthebop]

I was at this show, seated a few rows from the stage, dead center, and just a few feet from Andy Warhol! Afterwards we snuck into the party downstairs and hung out with Tina Weymouth and then Joey Ramone. Later we met Chris Frantz and David Byrne. It was pretty heady stuff for then 15 year old me, a night I'll never forget. Whoever posted this video has my profound thanks, I remembered the entire show was taped, and I've been searching for it for many years. I'll keep looking for the rest !

[dadaisticsurgeon]

i've got just this one. i found it in a dvd included with the remastered version of more songs. i hope youtube won't remove it too. anyway i really envy you! :)

[bridgetown1966]

Ok the bass is owning this song. Just had to say that.

[txdurk]

Wish I could find a job.

[pathtoyirah]

@bridgetown1966 and yet the camera is hardly ever on tina... 

[drchoc22]

wow! thanks for sharing. x

[MrBoswell66]

@bridgetown1966 yeah but git is ticking nicely too

[jwild611]

@Brock2097 "tell that to David Byrne, the other members wanted to get back together but he's completely against the idea"

That's true but they only wanted to do it for money. For Byrne to do it he must have really wanted to feel it from the gut to do it. Obviously something to this day is bugging him to be able to get back together with the rest.

David is usually the one who gets flack for being a "jerk" but the other members have their faults too

[MrJojowasaman]

Excellent! I thought that this was lost for good. In the movie, but not in the video or CD.

[drhowarddrfinedrhowa]

Actually her bass is out of tune, the high A she hits repeatedly in the verse is off by at least a half tone.

[awcoman]

Fantastic live, but why no more camera on Tina? Flawed.

[salgoudsamoht]

Judy's in the bedroom, engaged in masturbation.

Bob is in the pen again, for child molestation.

They've asked for religious counseling.

They've asked for a holy man.

A member of their fellowship,

The son of Billy Graham . . .

Few days ago I bought 9 Talking Heads CD and DVD; I found such video, really amazing, awesome. Great bass scale, I am a bassman (not prof), I hope I will find others to play TH here in Rome; I see only a guitar.
