I'd like to thank everyone for your approval. Who would have known that my spontaneous idea to lie down in some reeds with my headphones on would have sparked so much interest and enjoyment. I am David Byrne. We are all David Byrne. We are all the grass. The grass moves to the rhythm of nature's beat. And that beat moves to the rhythm of your soul.

Move your hips, move your thighs.

Feel the beat. Electricize.

Ok so we all know Byrne's lyrics explore the archetypal troubled artist persona and feature and a romanticising of the mundane, which you've taken up here in your video and quirky manifesto, but it doesn't make you him. You are not him just because someone said something nice to you on the internet. Don't be so arrogant.

[FirmGoose]

I think that would've been a valid put-down if he hadn't thrown in "We are all David Byrne", which suggests that he means that we are all with one with nature or each other or whatever. I don't get what he means, but I don't think he's comparing himself to David Byrne.

[JoePaull]

Thank you FirmGoose. Much respect to your comment. I am by no means an internet fcuk face trying to voice pretentious dialogue here. I just want to make videos for people to enjoy. Thats all. David Byrne speaks to me like a trip whacked real deal conversation. Much Love

[JoePaull]

Fcuk yes!

I encourage any fans to listen to Local Natives' cover of this track off their album 'Gorilla Manor'. It's great!

[xman798]

Ive gotta say, liking the Local Natives version better :) But this is still good! Without this we wouldnt have the Local Natives version haha

[TheStanfordWhite]

@sarahfication I think most people heard the Local Natives version first. Usually people like the first version they hear better.

I've always loved the Talking Heads, yet I still think the Local Natives did an awesome rendition of this song. There's nothing like three-part harmonies shouting "I've got money now!"

[sarahfication]

What's up with all these comments about Local Natives? I've never even heard of them (sorry, guess I'm not hipster enough or something) but I listened to their cover and didn't care for it at all, and I have pretty diverse taste in music... Honestly their version just didn't feel right to me. So yeah, kind of annoying that most of the comments on a Talking Heads song are all about some other band's mediocre cover...

[gbrlslzr23]

@xman798 sir, you make an outstanding point

[TheFunstra]

Nice work, Mr. Byrne ; )

@Araclain What you dont seem to realize is that I dont give a shit what your opinion on the song is. Your "spreading your worthless opinion,....." I could give a shit. I love Local Natives and that is the bottom line so if you dont like what I have to say thats fine and good just do not come to me like your fucking opionion is any better than mine. And if you didnt notice dumbass its the same words, same lyrics just sang by a different band. Get the Fuck over it.

[Araclain]

@BooUcMe You don't seem to realize that this song has a specially meaning to it. That shitty cover can't even come close to having ANYTHING like the original song. Stop spreading your worthless opinion, and realize what this song is actually saying, then go to the "oh it sounds nice" example. Jesus christ its so fucking agrovating.

[PentucketXC05]

@coetmor Um. No. Local Natives are fantastic.

[hands575]

Local Natives brought me here too, but I did already know who Talking Heads were and even have a couple vinyls that my dad gave me. I enjoy the Local Natives version better, but I respect Talking Heads

6 up

@Vinn3rZ
