Weird Video, but lots of videos were like this. This is at the beginning of the MTV Age, or as I call the 3rd British Invasion. When MTV first started off, the station brought in tons of British music via video. England at the time was the only major game in town producing music videos. Eventually, American bands began making music videos beyond live concert clips, but making videos were expensive and MTV hasn't proven themselves as a reliable moneymaker, especially when record sales were down. So, record companies produced CHEAP and experimental videos to get on the MTV market. What you are witnessing is the American counter-attack to the deluge of Britsh music. From 1980 - 1983 MTV would show some of the weirdest, cheapest music videos ever. I would pair this video with Herbie Handcock's "Rockit" (The Breakdancer's Holy Grail) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXnLdWeGeZxosLs --Professor Thursday

And she was is about his friend in high school who use d to skip classes sit by the chocolate YooHoo factory and drop acid. Once I heard David explain that at a show, it made me see those lyrics in a totally different way! And she was lying in the grass And she could hear the highway breathing And she could see a nearby factory She's making sure she is not dreaming See the lights of a neighbor's house Now she's starting to rise Take a minute to concentrate And she opens up her eyes The world was moving she was right there with it and she was The world was moving she was floating above it and she was And she was And she was drifting through the backyard And she was taking off her dress And she was moving very slowly Rising up above the earth Moving into the universe and she's Drifting this way and that Not touching the ground at all and she's Up above the yard The world was moving, she was right there with it and she was (Hey, hey) The world was moving, she was floating above it and she was (Hey, hey, hey) She was proud about it, no doubt about it She isn't sure about what she's done No time to think about what to tell him No time to think about what she's done and she was (Hey hey, hey hey, hey) And she was looking at herself And things were looking like a movie She had a pleasant elevation She's moving out in all directions oh, oh oh

Yea,that was the basic concept for the entire "Speaking In Tongues" album. They illustrated this on the tour by having screens set up behind the band during "Making Flippy Floppy" and having 3 words appear on 3 different screens. Some kinda matched up,others not as much. Very few bands pushed as hard to recreate themselves from record to record and always strive for something totally original as much as Talking Heads did. One of my absolute favorite bands ever.

As many here have suggested, their concert movie "Stop Making Sense" is a must watch, with the volume way up. The free version on KZbin is about 4 min 9 sec short of the full runtime of 1:28:06, even tho' it says "Full Concert." Which means it's been sped up a little bit, which would seem to be the case from the sound of David Byrnes voice in the opening. Tina Weymouth on bass is simply superb. There is no doubt you would love the entire concert. Their performances of every song in that movie are definitely the best they have.

Try Talking Heads version of the Rev. Al Green's "Take Me to the River." Talk about a mash-up!

dude this is more than 30 years pre-Walking Dead.

What Jamel is saying is that he recognizes the song because he heard it in an episode of "The Walking Dead." Like, at the end of Season One (Episode 6) the show concludes with Bob Dylan's masterpiece, "Tomorrow is a Long Time," and many people became familiar with that song because of "The Walking Dead."

A big part of music in movies and even video games are from the 60's to the 90's area that's what's makes classic rock so respectful , got to love it.

Remain in Light album is amazing. Not their popular stuff, but just an insane listen.

Talking Heads were the bomb back in the 70's. That music blasted from my Panasonic Platinum boombox.

So glad this band made it past the big record company hurdle back in the day. Music that's not so much timeless, but time defying. Doesn't fit into a genre or era - always unique.

These guys ( and gal ) made it hip to be a geek. And they made some excellent, iconic music. It's hard not to love these guys (and gal ).

Jamel _AKA_Jamal, you kind sir, are a ROCK STAR! When I find myself getting overwhelmed I watch a video of yours, preferably from the Grateful Dead! I'm not sure if you are as amazing in person as you are on this channel, but you sure seem to be sir. What a joy it is to experience music with you sir! Thanks a million.

David Byrne is one of those musical geniuses that only come once per generation... He's a true artist to this day, and he's on the spectrum. Also, highly recommend you watch the Stop Making Sense movie, it's widely considered to be one of the best concerts ever recorded.

You should check out some live performances of the Talking Heads. They have a live movie Stop Making Sense. But there are lots of great performances out there.

Thank you so much for posting, I enjoyed your reactions/commentary, I did not know the background you researched. The Talking Heads were probably my favorite band of the 80s and this has held up so well, I just love it. They were so ingenious in striking a balance between interesting art and innovative music and yet keeping enough humor and fun to avoid being pretentious. That kid crawling all over David Byrne!

I am a long time audiophile & grew up on the songs you play. I love it so much when you see a talent & comment on it with the same appreciation that I felt when I heard it the first time. Rock on.
