David Byrne-Psycho Killer

[@Kinesiology411]

Saw this live at the Park West, in Chicago, in the 90s and it blew my mind. The way he used the darkened room, lighting, music, the skin suit and his own movements to reimagine this...iconic. This doesn't really capture that creepiness and magic but it will have to do. Apparently Byrne was staying in a suburb when he was in town for that show and rode his bike, both ways (about 30+ miles) and then did a high-energy show for 2 hours while singing and never ran out of breath, lol. He was in his 40s, I believe. Legend.

She's dancing like she's in a character selection menu.

[@CassioQueixudo]

Huaaaa

[@thetrailll]

😂😂😂

[@MrAntennaBall]

Is it just me or did she sing backup for Beck a few times too? My memory doesn’t quite serve me well anymore. Heheh!

[@nellgwyne]

0:20 when teacher asks me to come up to the board

[@mrdave777]

This was terrific. The Bodies exhibit and David Byrne all in one!

[@leachristine5264]

when i think i cant love byrne more i find things like this

[@EricMcWhorter]

This was a most excellent tour

[@patrickbyrne5070]

Thanks

[@sullivan2339]

I watched that when it aired! I taped it! Awesome performance- with the Best dancer/vocalist I've ever seen in my life!

[@gpeddino]

The arrangement reminds me of Björk. The combination of weird noises, beats, bass and pedal steel sounds like something she would have done in the 90's.

[@joaquin8637]

the industrial sound of Björk and NIN had a big influence on figures like Byrne and Bowie in the 90s, check out the 90s version of Bowie's Fame if you haven't yet

[@dorianward4909]

Check out Laurie Anderson

[@heracles3005]

90’s/early 2000s electronica is untouchable

[@NewWaveEnthusiast]

0:19 I love how that guy is trying his hardest not to laugh

[@manart3954]

😂i think this was 0:6...

[@kevinlewis3898]

I could watch her dance forever!!!!!!!

[@Bacnow]

Kevin Lewis - me too! I am absolutely mesmerized! I would love to dance with her!

[@taurangasurf]

Yep ....lovin that cool twirly thing she does 🤩

[@daverenke6491]

What’s her name?

[@espartacus001]

i love that lady dancing and singing, absolutelly lovely

[@Mmxxaamm]

I fucking LOVE this version, got that electronic vibe to it, I wish David played this one more often

[@grzeg_]

look up "Leto psycho killer" Leto is a Russian punk muscial, has awsome soundtrack and I'm sure you'll enjoy the video.

[@pcebpceb8531]

“Utter giberish for ridiculous people” - that’s my kind of music.

[@KeroRetro]

I don't remember this episode of Attack On Titan

[@Sam-qc6sz]

This was the original opening

[@Bugarimm]

The Colossal Titan lol

[@alejandrogarcia-zk1wz]

What a performance man!!!

[@mmmk1616]

Well this is gonna go into my brain and pop back up in my nightmares, but I love it :)

[@lucristianx]

Easily my favorite performance of Psycho Killer. Just David in a muscle outline lol

[@willyberthold7905]

Great a very freaky Performance Amazing... :)

[@NimrodelMirage]

Wow the new aot season looks great

[@nicf1555]

Dang the instrumentals are so smooth.. Sinuous

[@ronj9448]

Gree what a great find! I feel inspired. Restores my faith in KZbin.

[@philhode5104]

Rumour has it she still dancing

[@MasonSanchez.]

YYYUUUUPPPP. That's what I needed. This song is the BEST.

[@flogthenitwithedeservesit1737]

That singer/dancer totally sells this song.

[@milanoduo]

Christina Wheeler, an excellent electronic musician in her own right

[@Borna909]

htat kind of stuff works in every era. If he´d bring it out with these days electronic music you could still enjoy it as you did in the 70s.

[@BurgundyandBlue1111]

Bizarre af, but I get it. I imagine being famous you often feel like your skin is being ripped off.....or like you are just a piece of meat. People's words and constant staring can do that to you. This man is a true artist.

[@fleondodgen]

What a unique interpretation!

[@diegstroX8032]

Or he just possibly wanted to give a bizarre performance. In other words, it ain’t that deep. 👀 But regardless, I love it! (I’m all about bizarreness in music anyway, but I can appreciate that interpretation.)

[@myearsloveit]

remains my fave version.where can i purchase this skinless human suit? anybody???

[@coolmusic1579]

You just have to peel your own skin off, easy peasy. 😵😄

[@devinthierault]

[@ivanbarria1714]

Parece que no puedo enfrentarme a los hechos Estoy tenso y nervioso y no puedo relajarme No puedo dormir porque mi cama está ardiendo. No me toques, soy un verdadero cable de vida. Psicópata Asesino ¿Qué es esto? Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-mucho mejor Corre, corre, corre, corre, corre, corre, corre lejos , oh oh Asesino psicópata ¿Qué es esto? Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-mucho mejor Si empiezas una conversación no puedes ni siquiera terminarla. Hablas mucho, pero no dices nada. Cuando no tengo nada que decir, mis labios están sellados Di algo una vez, ¿por qué repetirlo? Lo que hice esta noche sobre la... Lo que dije esta noche sobre la... Realizar mi esperanza Voy a ir, a la gloria. OK Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ... Somos vanidosos y estamos ciegos Odio a la gente cuando no son educados.

[@DCM0evil]

[@getsome4806]

I like Byrne and all but Christ this is painful to watch.

[@MonteQuz]

Słabe

[@corserine]

A good song doesn't need gimics.

[@HTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTH]

David Byrne transcends song.

[@shelby8364]

technically the performance has the "gimics" not the actual song. regardless, it's an amazing song and David Byrne puts on the best performances ever. why you even here lol

[@dogsavethequeen7689]

I like listening to pretentious blather because it makes me feel smarter than people who listen to good music.

[@Sam-qc6sz]

What's pretentious about it?

[@waremblem3405]

Lost his voice. The skeleton gimmick didn't compensate for this.

[@GrievingForGrace]

Not a gimmick- one component of the performance art!

[@Bustad3]

First time smoking oil and this came on late at night
