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.

[@shannonschaerer1010]

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.

I think David Byrne predicted social media and influencers. Plenty of KZbin channels showing "Wild Wild Life" while the audience sits and watches. Even some of the TV shows in the background....a bunch of tvs showing cars wrecking, and nonsense...just like real life today. Obviously that's my interpretation, but interesting nonetheless. Brilliant music!

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.

@@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.

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!!

[@tomatobooksentertainment8376]

Most of the video is from the movie.

[@MVegetto1]

[@mauriciobaezlarach8998]

[@TangledNana]

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

[@thesportsjunkie4827]

Remember this video when it came out Hilarious. Great Band from that punk rock era also David Byrne bought his unique style to it.

[@coledennisterrell]

Love the John Goodman cameo!

[@stevensenator4804]

It was not just a cameo, he had a significant role in the film.

[@syfodiaz4936]

He was in the movie. This isn't just a music video.

[@sergiosebastianoctaviobrollo]

John Goodman Is an extraordinary actor

[@theres1dent]

He co stars in the film

[@grahamcarmichael6567]

It’s not a cameo, he was the star of the movie

[@Tombro1856]

David Byrne what a genius.

[@danielstevenson2772]

Tina's bass line on this song is off the chain!

[@rooseveltmccarter6087]

Who's the other guitarist on this song?

[@POLSKAH]

fuck yes!

[@danielstevenson2772]

Jerry Harrison @@rooseveltmccarter6087

If it weren't for John Goodman looking so young this video feels like it could have been made last year. Or maybe it's just timeless for me 😊

[@MontoyaMatrix]

Never seen this. Left in tears of joy. There really IS something called genius.

[@alexcarter8807]

There's a *lot* of music out there and this is the ideal time to explore

[@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.

[@paigetygret4211]

This song and video helped me get through quarantine when I was struggling with Covid-19.Thank You Talking Heads!

[@ALEJANDRO-b9e]

JEWEL SONG! Coming from Talking Heads nothing is a bad surprise. Love them until die! This video is one of the best videos ever made 3:40 minutes of music culture. People reactions, every second of the video is a masterpiece

[@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.

[@Joe-bx4wn]

@@cmcc3721 He the Nick TESLA of Alternative POP MUSIC

[@paulcuff8845]

Still a fresh sounding track even now. Byrne was way ahead of his time

[@Raptuza]

Oh yes
