I 💯 agree! Take Me to the River Live! 🎧😎

[@sammyholloway334]

And thats an al green song. I first heard it by Bryan Ferry

[@tmountain1]

Forgive me if someone else has already mentioned this but the guy on the freaky synthesizers is Bernie Worrell, founding member of Funkadelic. He saw Talking Heads' love of funk and helped them develop their sound. A genius who recognized genius.

[@spiderling88]

That collaboration made magic

RIP Bernie

Love this song. Check out their song Psycho Killer, if you like this, you will love that song. :)

[@direfox9464]

My favorite. if you haven't seen the video were they dubbed it over the my friend Dahmer trailor, its worth a watch

[@jalcalahr]

Love PK.

[@otisdylan9532]

I second this, but I suggest NOT watching the video that has 121 million views. That's a demo version. I suggest either the classic studio version from the Talking Heads '77 album or a live version, most likely the one from the Stop Making Sense movie.

[@jadecawdellsmith4009]

If yr gunna play Pscho Killer pls play the video from the movie about Ted Bundy.

[@taylorhalv8397]

to get context of the era he should watch www.imdb.com/title/tt1786751/

[@rb7007]

You HAVE to react to "Once in a Lifetime" by them. The official video. You won't be disappointed. Lol

[@Dooklawz]

absolutely .. that song was a musical pillar of my youth, love it. Little did I know back then that song was trying to warn me about what the every day working world (and basically everything that comes with it) would have in store for me, but I still love that song. And not to 'dog pile' on how this whole year has been for us all, but "same as it ever was..same as it ever was..look where my hand was.." really kinda holds true for us lately. Relax, my hand was just under the hand sanitizer dispenser ;)

[@mybrainhurts1856]

[@zwick6890]

Talking Heads were 4 art students who met in college when they got started- the visuals for them are just as important as the music. Their videos were always visually interesting and made you think-

[@OGBobNoxious]

Art school nerds from Rhode Island, and funky as hell. “Life During Wartime” from Stop Making Sense is killer, as is “Once In A Lifetime” (original video). Their catalog is very deep.

[@TheRealSweetcherryo]

I saw them live yeeeears ago..... Once in a Lifetime was the highlight for me when he did that thing with his arm ....same as it ever was LOL

[@OGBobNoxious]

@@TheRealSweetcherryo I saw the Heads in San Francisco at one of the shows they filmed for “Stop Making Sense.” Couldn’t pick a favorite song from that concert if you held a gun to my head, tbh. Definitely in my Top 5 favorite concert experiences ever.

[@zwick6890]

@@OGBobNoxious I am jealous 😃

[@thetalantonx]

Hells yes. Good suggestions!

[@connieleighton4375]

Talking heads is one of the greatest bands to come out of the 80's, tons of choices with there music. Try road to nowhere or any of the songs in the comments. Great reaction, I'm so glad you liked the vibe...♡

[@UniversalBlackRocker]

Happy Monday bro! Funny story, I remember when this video would come on MTV, I would run upstairs until the video was over because of David Byrne's head (this is when music videos with close up heads were the thing that used to scared the hell out of me like Phil Collins' In The Air Tonight, Billy Idol's Eyes Without A Face and many others).

[@kristiwheels9381]

Love it ! 😂

[@MomPenita]

@Damar Filmore, YES!! I wrote my comment before I saw your comment. Once in a Lifetime have me the creeps too.

[@UniversalBlackRocker]

David Byrne is an absolute genius. "Psycho Killer", "Don't Worry About the Government", "Sugar on my Tongue", "And She Was", "Girlfriend is Better", "Wild Wild Life", "Once in a Lifetime", "I Wish You Wouldn't Say That"... and on and on...

[@FORGOTTENMINDFREAK23]

"Creep me out With this HEAD Floating through the street" They're called Talking Heads 😂😂😂

[@RealArcalian]

This is their most traditional rock and roll song. Talking Heads: Letting the Days Go By Talking Heads: And She Was Talking Heads: Wild Wild Life Talking Heads: Life during wartime

[@aerynsunx]

"Letting the Days Go By"? Are you referring to "Once in a Lifetime"? Because that's the song's actual title.

[@JunoReactor77]

Talking Heads drummer Chris Frantz and bass player Tina Weymouth, married since 1977, are big fans of funk. When they went to a P-Funk show at Madison Square Garden in New York City, the crowd started chanting, "Burn down the house, burn down the house" (this is before "The Roof Is on Fire"), which gave Frantz the idea for the title. As he explained in a 1984 interview with National Public Radio (NPR), he and Weymouth created the original track in a jam, then took it to the band where they refined the groove. To form the lyrics, they picked words that fit the rhythms, which is why the words don't make a lot of sense. This is common practice in the world of funk, where you don't want the lyric to get in the way of the groove on a feel-good song.

[@YellowYammaha]

Hahaha..... I love the talking heads! Yeah once in a lifetime. That beat is still just as bad ass today as back in the day. Keep up the good work man!

[@cheryljackson5659]

Love at the end when Mr. Video says, "This don't make no sense!" A GREAT intro to Talking Heads' "Stop Making Sense." IT'S BRILLIANT!!! Love this quirky band with their creative videos and funky bass. Musicianship and overall production is amazing on their songs. Please follow the suggestions in the comments and react to more of their music!

[@lydiajoy1823]

Talking Heads! My day is made! I was so into them back in the day oh my God anything you listen to will be great. David Byrne is everything. Life In Wartime, live, is CRAZY. Just anything.

[@Ant-bm1qk]

Hell yeah bro!!!!!! Finally we have arrived at Talking Heads... prepare for your view counts and comments sections to blow up.. no joke brother lol we been asking for you to react to some Talking Heads.. btw I’m glad to see you’re back Psycho Killer Life During Wartime (live) Girlfriend is Better (live) This must be the place Once in a Lifetime

[@toddylu6869]

One of the greatest bands of the 80s. Stop Making Sense is a classic that everyone should watch at least once.

[@larry6360]

I had been a fan of The Talking Heads for some time , but I remember hearing this jam for the first time when it came out and watching the video caused me to gain new respect for them. I love this jam because it's constructed so well and hits hard. Glad you covered this one.

[@awesomeraven9178]

Talking heads is one of the most underappreciated bands of all time!

[@Katzztar]

This song always brings back memories of High school. My School's rival had a fire one year, while it was only the gym that burned, it stayed in that school's minds. At their prom they tried to get this song as their theme, the school board vetoed it. They didn't even listen to the lyrics, the title "Burning down the House" was enough to say nope.

[@reidphx]

The floating head going down the road was doing a lot of lines of coke. That's what we always joked about back in those days.

[@hamacus]

Talking Heads is one of my all time favorites from back in the day. Can’t go wrong with any Heads song but I love “Girlfriend Is Better” from the Stop Making Sense film.

[@scarletjohnston741]

Yes! Talking Heads! You need to watch the concert "Stop Making Sense". It's soooooo fun from start to finish. I saw them live many years ago & it was a party 🕺💃🤩🔥

[@BaccarWozat]

Half of Talking Heads had a side gig as Tom Tom Club. Their video "Genius Of Love" is a must watch!

[@pennysilvey8868]

Burning down the house is what we used to say back in the day before the phrase, “ the roof! The riff! The roof is on fire!”

[@Human4710]

Talking Heads - Stop making sense - is possibly one of the best things ever to be filmed. Most definitely recommend.

[@sjd5750]

Dude, you have got to react to songs from their '84 concert movie "Stop Making Sense."..You'll friggin' LOVE it!

[@WHANAUPEACE]

LOL!! Love it brother. Talking Heads one of my favourites!! Their songs "Is this the place" and "Girlfriend" I like.

If you want to see how energetic and out there this band can get, watch anything from their Stop Making Sense tour. Their live shows were something else.

[@Jillyconjem]

I took my Dad to see them with me sometime in the ‘78 to ‘80 time period, before “Stop Making Sense”. My Dad thought they were good, but he also thought they were boring. Haha. He never got to see the big jacket times. Talking Heads “‘77” is fantastic.

[@tgranny3547]

This was on MTV all the time back in the day my nephew was little but two years old and every time he heard it come on he would run in the living room and start dancing with it

[@kittylynnlpn]

I actually got my husband to watch this video with me. He now says he hates watching reaction videos. But he loved this video and then we started binge watching. So my hubby is a new subscriber! Loved it!

Once in a Lifetime, Take Me To The River, Psycho Killer, Wild Life are all classic Talking Heads toons.

[@johnandrews3151]

Talking Heads/Take Me To The River studio version

[@cynthianavarro4316]

This was such a great band to dance to back in the day! By the time this came out, music was starting to sound more and more electronic with precise mathematical beats. You are a hair's breath away from The B-52's. Another great, quirky, band out around the same time. Have fun with those Talking Heads. Just don't start talking back! After that, you should give The B-52's a whirl!

[@lisapitts9148]

LOL Talking Heads. Excellent fun song

[@cici7333]

It's so exciting to see you getting into them. They're an incredibly cool band. I love them. The reason their videos are so surreal is because most of them went to art school, and they're terribly creative. ☮️💜☮️

[@WazigeLogica]

Know the song, don't remember ever seeing the video. Probably because my older brother had it on tape or LP and Mtv wasn't available yet in the Netherlands. Cool, I like the ballroom scene.. That whole ceiling is one big chandelier. Was thinking of hanging a chandelier in my restroom. Maybe I just need to do the whole ceiling like that.. woahhh..

[@sfbayareagirl]

“Life During Wartime” from the concert film Stop Making Sense. Note: directed by Jonathan Demme who also directed Silence of the Lambs. Note 2: I saw them during that tour. One of the top most memorable concerts I’ve seen.

[@lindarhiner674]

This song was played in Revenge of the Nerds when the jocks burned down their frat house. Great movie!

[@LaptopLarry330]

This was a good reaction to this music video by Talking Heads. If you get the chance to do so, you will want to react to Talking Heads' music video/concert performance for their song, "Girlfriend Is Better". It has a great dance groove to it.

I wasn't a fan of them when they came out, now i appreciate their stuff!! Once in a Lifetime is a banger!!

[@siobhancharnley8760]

I think this is the most time you’ve ever re-wound a video. I guess Talking Heads does that to you. Plus it’s a banging video.

[@poetinmyheart94]

'This Must Be The Place' is a great one by them. One of the most underrated love songs.

[@TheRealSweetcherryo]

When Anthony Kiedis from Red Hot Chili Peppers inducted Talking Heads into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame he said when he was a kid and he listened to Talking Heads they made him feel smart and I get it ...made me feel smart too

[@sleepyburr]

As far as Heads' live shows go, Stop Making Sense is great, but I also highly recommend Live in Rome, from 1980. My fave performance (probably) of The Great Curve is from that show.

[@doplinger1]

"Life During Wartime" from the Stop Making Sense concert, you'll love it.

[@xtrememarine169]

Good reactions. Try this "LUCKY MAN" by Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Gary Lake wrote this when he was 12 years old. 2012 Remastered version. Get smoked up first!!!!!!

[@Anna-eu5dk]

This song will always remind me of the storm that knocked out the power while having a huge party. Everybody had candles and thought for sure the old 2 flat was going to get burn down. Yes this song was blasting. Great time great memories! We definitely had the best parties!!!

[@sfbayareagirl]

I forgot how cool this video was. I love when their alter-egos are on them while playing. You kill me tho, “How does he keep the beat w that kid crawling all over home?” Duuuude, it’s a video, lol. They’re going through the motions of playing and singing while filming and lip synching to the studio recording. C’mon. You know this, right? Love ❤️ you

This played a lot in the discos in the 70s also Brick House by the commodores.

[@Katt560]

This is an awful, but funny, story regarding this song. When I was in college, there were two rival fraternities whose houses happened to be right next to each other. Yep....when the one house caught on fire, the other house blasted this song. (No one was injured....the fire was successfully put out.)

My first time at the club after my house had burnt down....they played this song. My girlfriend swore that she hadn't requested it. Either she was a liar liar or it was just a freaky thing. It wasn't something that they normally played. LOL I still think that she lied to me. LMAO!!

Yup don't worry too much about their freaky promos, the music is so FUNKY. Maybe check out some of their live video next, anything from their concert film 'Stop making sense'. The title is a clue, don't try to dig for some narrative meaning in a lot of their songs, just go with the groove. David Byrne the singer is just out there, so unique, a genius oddball.

[@liamreidy1175]

Amazing band, you're going to love them after a few songs.... Talking Heads - Girlfriend is UNFUNKINGBELIEVABLE...... Good to see you back..... BRILLIANT.......!

[@binkle76]

I don't know if anyone mentioned it yet, but the name Talking Heads comes from slang of the 60s and 70s that used the term to refer to newscasters, politicians, and salesmen on TV, which the generation of that time often felt there was no distinction between the three, more often than not. It was the dawn of mistrust of the media for the TV Generation. But because you only saw these news anchors and pitchmen and politicians usually from the neck up, the term 'talking head' was used by that generation to derisively refer to the 'mainstream' and corporate America. The band, being art school nerds, adopted it ironically.

[@thecoogs]

He is a unique genius with the beats behind him! Perfect dance move for this one bro
