Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I'm wearing-a fur pajamas
I ride a hot potato
It's tickling my fancy
Speak up, I can't hear you
[Chorus]
Here on this mountaintop, oh-oh-oh
I got some wild, wild life
I got some news to tell you, oh-oh
About some wild, wild life
Here come the doctor in charge, oh-oh-oh
She's got some wild, wild life
Ain't that the way you like it, oh-oh?
Living wild, wild life
[Verse 2]
I'll wrestle with your conscience
You wrestle with your partner
Sitting on a windowsill
But he spends his time behind closed doors
[Chorus]
So check out mister businessman, oh-oh-oh
He bought some wild, wild life
On the way to the stock exchange, oh-oh-oh
He got some wild, wild life
Pick it up when he opens the door, oh-oh-oh
He doing wild, wild life
I know it's the way you like it, oh-oh
Living wild, wild
[Verse 3]
Peace of mind
It's a piece of cake
Thought control
You get on board any time you like
Like sitting on pins and needles
Things fall apart
It's scientific
[Chorus]
Sleeping on the Interstate, oh-oh-oh
Getting wild, wild life
Checking in and checking out, oh-oh-oh
I got 'em, wild, wild life
Spending all of my money and time, oh-oh-oh
On too much wild, wild life
We wanna go and we go where we go, oh-oh-oh
Ah, doing wild, wild life
I know it, that's how we start, oh-oh-oh
Got some wild, wild life
Take a picture here in the daylight, oh-oh
And it's a wild, wild life
You've grown so tall, you've grown so fast, oh-oh-oh
Wild, wild
And I know that's the way you like it, oh-oh
Living wild, wild, wild, wild life

The black dude singing with the hat at the end is MY DAD!!!! I was supposed to be in this movie performing that part as a young karate kid character. When it came time to for me to film, I froze and got scared so they asked my dad (who had his own band at the time) to do it instead. Don't believe me? IDGAF!! That's my father and his name is Frank Beaty!!!!

[@BEATYVISIONCLOTHING]

@@chiefscheider I don't remember honestly.....I know we met him because it was originally supposed to be me who play that part but I was too scared to do it so my dad filled in and I can remember shaking his hand and that he was a nice guy but that's about it..... We met John Goodman and I can tell you that he was a jerk LMAO he wasn't friendly at all and told racist jokes pretty much the whole time we were there LMAO of course this was at the beginning of his career so I'm sure he's a much different, more grown up person now LOL I remember meeting him because we spent a lot more time with him then we did with David Byrnes. David Byrne if I recall correctly came in and shook everybody's hand and then left pretty much but we spent the entire day around John Goodman.

[@chiefscheider]

Talking Heads shows how much fun you can have if you dare to be weird, and to do it well .

[@SwankyKitteh82]

I still think of David Byrne as a sort of college professor type who one day bumped his head and then totally lost his shit.

But...what IF....they dared to be stupid, like Weird Al? :) Love them. Just having fun. Cheers. :)

[@Raptuza]

Pretty awesome still

[@zaidaali4688]

But that’s just it: David Byrne is not “weird” or trying to be . . . you are witnessing unrestricted genius. There are those who try to harness WEIRD for affect. Salvador Dali, Byrne, Nina Hagen, Timothy Leary, etc. were just doing their thing: they never for one minute thought of themselves as weird.

[@ArgoLupus]

@@zaidaali4688 -- I don't think we disagree. When I said, "dare to be weird", I could have been saying, "dare to be themselves." Of course, lots of artists today and in history have had annoying affectations (Lord Byron took a goose with him everywhere), but please don't think I was saying Byrne et. al . are not being authentic; quite the opposite.

Not sure if this was mentioned, but Talking Heads drummer Chris Frantz played the Ozzy Osbourne character, the Hank Williams-style country-and-western singer and the sports fan with WILD WILD LIFE on his baseball cap. Tina Weyworth (Talking Heads bassist) played a society lady (not sure which one), the lady who rips off her wig to reveal a bald head, and the woman dancing with the Prince cosplayer.

I was in a band called Rick Berlin- The Movie. Rick was signed to Epic in the seventies with Orchestra Luna, They often played CBGB's, where the Talking Heads opened for them. Later they had Karla DeVito, whom Jim Steinman stole for Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell. Anyway, Rick said that David Byrne did a lot of acid, and "boy , was he weird". I always think of that, because they were all weird then. It's on KZbin. We were more commercial but less successful, oh well, I wasin the Karla DeVito spot, it was crazy fun, Rick still does gigs in Boston. We were on Mtv at least, witha song called People Live, witha Baptist choir. Im in the white dress. Easier to find under Steven Paul Perry, Good old 80's!!

Talking Heads + John Goodman = perfection

[@vanillecitronframboise]

Talking Heads, you are a wild band, we need you so much ! 2024 🌞

[@joewilson7148]

2023 and yes we all need a Wild Wild Life.

[@calebdziepak2950]

Was...was that John Goodman?

[@Hacksats1]

Caleb Dziepak yeah that is a very young John Goodman haha

[@chrisstanley8053]

Yes...yes it was.

[@calebdziepak2950]

Thanks Travis, and Chris. That's awesome! He is one of my favorite actors. My dad introduced me to these guys when I was in Middle-School, and this has always been one of my favorites. I'd never seen the music video before though.

[@thomasbias5260]

Caleb Dziepak I'm certain it was. Just a trivia question somewhere. Definitely before, "Rosanne".

[@ProtoGhostal1701]

It's from the movie True Stories (which goes right along the Talking Heads album of the same name).

[@serenegreene6984]

And while we're living this "Wild Wild Life", "We're On The Road To Nowhere".

[@frazzofaz]

carefull it could make you a psycho killer then again life during wartime can be difficult! but the lady dont mind if you take me to the river to get some water cuz someone was burning down the house, and there she was.with slippery people, it was once in a lifetime. but i know my girlfriend is better.she was born under punches, cross eyed and painless.shed often stay up late wondering if this must be the place. i brought her nothing but flowers and told her dont worry about the government. ...... I THANK YOU!

[@robertdog]

It's amazing how many ways we've been blessed by John Goodman over the years.

[@swizzberry2538]

I started listening to Talking Heads today, and I’m falling through their rabbit hole. I should’ve listened to them sooner. Their videos are somehow nostalgic and timeless at the same time.

[@swagmasterr6862]

Open season is why I’m here

[@linaresstudios3470]

Omg, it's true. I didn't remember. Thank's for this beautiful memory :)

[@TangledNana]

Hands down the best Talking Heads song/video...love all the cameos!

[@JaysonTripp-r5d]

Good tune Davey i miss these days i was born in 77 I grew up to your rock 🤘 awesome 😎

[@mgraves9484]

Byrne. An absolute genius x 100. This is a #1 Classic. Too bad MTV no longer really exists.

[@IAmNoeyes]

Talking heads has the JAMS.

[@plane-crashes-aussie-stories]

Talking Heads were truly one of the most original and creative bands rock has produced, both sonically and visually. It's a way overused word, but I do think they were brilliant.

[@chrismiddleton2581]

One of the greatest videos of all time.

[@kittenkorleone2918]

Greatest band too!

[@bardofoc]

This video summarizes my entire MTV experience watching it as a kid during its early years from early to mid-1980's. Love all the parodies of popular acts at the time.

[@claudiomartins8123]

Música gostosa de ouvir, sem dizer que lembro muito da minha adolescência. Saudades.

[@starmanfaned]

I want some Wild Wild Life

[@sharkulashairstylist5505]

I saw this for the 1st time since I was a child and began crying before it ended

[@Kids_Scissors]

I mostly know this song as the opening to "Open Season" and that film has become a cult favorite in my family for some reason lmao

[@AlzMarioWolfe]

Literally the same reason I know this song

[@raymondbedborough8522]

Love the energy from the girl in the yellow jumpsuit 💛 yeah!

[@1alpoe]

I'm in love with her!

[@captainsparkle-fingers2744]

Holy smokes!! I remember singing this song watching MTV at the age of 5.. This song brought back a ton of great memories!! THX Talking Heads😃👍🏽👍🏽

[@davesworld7961]

Talking head band members-David Byrne, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz. John Goodman, John Waters, Meatloaf, Frank Beatty, Tito Larriva

[@redskies4530]

Hi I recommend a song called 'Where I Come From' By Robert Nix

[@Joe-bx4wn]

Nobody makes music videos like this NO MORE

[@cmcc3721]

Byrne was always couple of centuries ahead of his time. Listen to some of his stuff with St Vincent.
