Hello D Branch. Check in post part science and trip near the beach. And with desk and computer check in . And logs. Go good calendars and vacation desks and disks and logs. D. Branch
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.
@@deonlymero thank u, he sure was 😊love The Cure, Glenn Miller Orchestra , The Doors, U2, R. E. M., Tracy Chapman, Sade Adu, Terence Trent D'arby, Paul Simon, Metallica, Jethro Tull,Santana, Manu Chao, Roxy Music, lot of rnb and rock, Love Enya, Jose Feliciano, he even make me start listen to 50 cent 😆, im a real eclectic when it comes to music. I listen so much staff that my generation think its something to eat🤣
@@johns2688 Vintage year, 1962, what with the Cuban Missile Crisis, and all. But we survived to become young men in the greatest decade for music: _1980s forever, baby!_ 😉
Aw that's so cool :) I discovered Talking Heads at 16/17, myself. Though that wasn't long ago, it still provided me with music to attach to certain memories in my last year of hs.
@@dentonconstructionservices8323 Putting aside the fact you appear to have misunderstood my comment, I associate cocaine use with my care-free and fun youth.
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.
That's cool to KNOW!! I was not aware that Chris & Tina played all those characters! The costumes & characters come & go so fast, it's kinda hard to see it. Thanks for the info!! Peace!!
When I lived on a mountain top with wildlife adjacent to the Los Padres National Forest, this was my anthem. Fox, Mountain Lion, deer, humming birds, skunk, turkeys, squirrels, etc. Never a dull day on my deck.
Last week, I'm driving my car going home, it's the end of a good day, this song came on the radio, I cranked it up, made me smile, made sure a window or two was down so that others can hear, while stopped at a red light, this is just a great song, takes me back....here's the Billy Idol, Prince parodies, etc., 80's references, still great, LOVE John Goodman's performance!
David Byrne, thank you . You are and always have been a damn genius. You made MTV and video's yours. You owned it from the beginning. Down to the assembly of your band. I can sit here in 2021 and enjoy this just as much as 40 years ago. I salute you .
This was our theme song in '86 and loved every gosh darn minute of it! This video sums it all up for the times! Look how happy John Goodman is! Love it love it love it!
John had been doing commercials for a few years before this and bit parts. Less than 2 years later, he'd audition for 'Roseanne' and his career took off! 😀
I agree at roughly the same age I think we'd one of the last great generations.. imagine all your mistakes recorded for life on the net .. we had an innocent enough upbringing even though we were poorer
@@daizy4086 Im 47 i remember getting the concert Stop Making Sense on VHS back in the day... We didn't even own a VHS at that stage so I had to watch it at my granny's house ...
Of all the many interesting characters on here the two David Byrne make as the disco and biz man are hypnotizing - his stage presence is truly brilliantly captivating...
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!!!!
@@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.
I'm 59 and this is one of my favorites, my 16 yr old daughter and her friends are now listening to this, along with AC/DC and Queen. There is hope ....
I dare anybody to try a listen to just one talking heads song and stop! It can’t be done 😮 Nothing like them before or since. Thanks David Byrne AND the rest of the band!
So many songs and their videoswe have listened to for decades, are full of revelations about our reality. I sang along to the songs but not only didn't understand the lyrics, but also had no idea that I had no understanding of them. I had no insight to what the lyrics were trying to reveal, but I was unaware of my "unawareness". I had sight, but I was blind. Omg. Life is truly awe inspiring beyond words.
Talking Heads were so strange, so very strange. I love them. Saw David Byrne recently....fabulous. Can i have a show of hands if you're still listening to this in 2019
I nearly saw him at glastonebury late 90s but had 2 make do with listning n dancing on sum1z van roof (sory 4 the dents) in a field wudda mist it otherwise
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 RUclips. 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!!
My mom was almost an extra in this movie. They filmed the fashion show in Dallas' northpark mall. Her place of work at the time was visible in the background but she was sick and couldn't attend.
So many people don’t know about this very underrated group . These guys and girl made absolutely super cool music. Brian Eno put that special edge on it😊
they're not underrated, they were one of the most famous bands back then, David Byrne is a legend, the band is iconic, extremely famous, and known for their eccentric futuristic style for that time
This song is one insane stream of consciousness.........and if you're a karaoke singer, it's a great one to start with, because it's a great way to test your voice's capability for the night.
I agree, & I'm sure I've watched it probably more than 1,000x's. It's a Gr8 SONG & definitely MY favorite video put out by them. I still listen to The Talking Heads fairly often - esp in the car. Lots of good driving songs. What's funny is We'll probably both watch it at least another 1,000x & still NOT get sick of it!! - LOL!! Peace!!
Ive always loved hearing David Byrne's voice. His vocal range is out of this world to my ears. Looked up his bio & saw his Venus is in Taurus, which i have heard has a lot to do w/the voice & why i am so mesmerized and impressed w/peoples singing ability & vocal range. Imho. Tysm
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.
Lyrics : I'm wearing a fur pajamas I ride a hot potato It's tickling my fancy Speak up, I can't hear you Here on this mountain top, 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 I'll wrestle with your conscience You wrestle with your partner Sitting on a windowsill But he spends his time behind closed doors 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 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 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 life And I know that's the way you like it, oh-oh Living wild, wild, wild, wild life!
1.Yes that's John Goodman. He was a struggling actor when he made True Stories, which while not a big hit landed him supporting roles in Raising Arizona and the Big Easy and eventually Roseanne 2. EDIT: Appareny that IS Meatloaf! Also, the guy with long hair and a thin mustache is Tito Larriva, an actor and singer who was also in From Dusk Till Dawn and other Robert Rodriguez movies 3. True Stories is a great movie and inspired the name of the band Radiohead
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!
It's so true, I feel like everything really drastically changed for the worse after the millennium and I think everyone having cellphones played a massive part in that. So many great memories sigh...

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY SIR!!!!!❤️❤️❤️

Great song and video. First song I ever called in to the radio station to get played on air.
And what a great movie!
Same here Jeff, God speed
There is no band like Talking Heads ,they were unbelievably catchy and memorable ,one of the greatest 80’s bands with fantastic unique videos
I wouldn't say only them, there was Devo as well with their uniqueness, but yeah, Talking Heads are objectively better.
I would love to see a tribute musical to the Talking Heads, think of what Mamma Mia did for ABBA.
@@thebigfletch1885 or the b -52's
I believe.
The 80's could never define them, galactic envoys from Earth, maybe...
Such an addictive song. Can play it over and over and never get tired of it. Just brilliant.
I find that not only is it addictive, but actually destructive in the end . . . "Things fall apart, it's scientific."
check out - Once in a lifetime
It is! For some reason, it’s stuck in my head for a few days now.
Fuuuuuuuuk
Nag i weir sub
I never never never get tired of listening to this song. I miss the 80"s so much...🥲

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

I know it can be hard listening to this. It’s just sad it makes you think of good times like when the movie came out.
One of the greatest songs and videos of the 80's.
Talking Heads were very special.
Hear Hear. Especially with all the cameos.

To all those that are saying this is a music video, it’s actually a clip from David Byrne’s criminally under-seen film True Stories. Watch it.
The fashion show still cracks me up.
@@jdmthree1The moment at the end… Perfection.
Watching it now!
My daughter is 17 and her favorite band is Talking Heads. She loves David Byrne. So proud!

Dam right, the world is awesome for 2 minutes
that’s so cool I got into them the same age!
I'm 14 and my favourite is AC/DC, but the Talking Heads are cool too, hence my presence here
Bought the 45 when it came out. Fantastic.
So did I!
One of those songs that evokes such happy memories of a care-free and fun time of my youth.
It’s about cocaine. Carefree youth? Not quite.

Rediscovering Talking Heads. Great band. Can't stop playing this song over and over.
Absolutely right. Fantastic. Love the bass on this.
same here been playing this song over and over for the past three months now
glad im not the only one
So funny, I can't either!!😂😂
5 times on a row on my way to work! Blasting speakers...oh oh ghost patrol officer behind me.

Thanks for what I've been wondering. The Eighties were so awesome -- totally. But went by too fast!
Can you believe Chris Franzt is from Ky?! He is. Every now and then we get things right.
And Jerry Harrison was the karate guy
David Byrne is still amazing.but there was nothing better when the talking heads were still together..i never get tired of listening to them.
It seems like Dave wants nothing to do with the others. He distanced himself during their induction into the R&R Hal of Fame...too bad.
His new album is pretty good
Niether do i n i suppose plenty others
These guys are great!
Making something sound simple and commercial, but smart at the same time is not easy. This is the best example.
When I lived on a mountain top with wildlife adjacent to the Los Padres National Forest, this was my anthem. Fox, Mountain Lion, deer, humming birds, skunk, turkeys, squirrels, etc. Never a dull day on my deck.
As an 80s kid talking heads was some of the anthems of my generation, love the talking heads 🙂
Thanks for all the great memories mr Byrnes
Still can't believe it that other people like Talking Heads as much as I do lol
Bom rok não pode morre!!

Wild wild life!!!

Never truly appreciated their music until now. Listening to it now shows how innovative and different it was from everything else. Great band

One of the best rock bands of the 80s hands down
back when music had instruments, riffs, and bridges
Thirty years ago I fell in love with Talking Heads. One of the first albums I bought was Naked. I'm hugely grateful for your music!
Basil Buchko ,,,fear of music
My first was talking heads '77. Make that forty years
You bought the only bad album in their discography first, it's just too convoluted
Didn't you buy it for the title? lol
Jerry’s had too much fun making this video. He’s Prince, the Karate Kid, the Zoot Suit guy. And more!
Growing up in the 80s was the best.
Except for crack and AIDS epidemics
I can't believe back in the 80's I couldn't stand this band, now I'm 60 years old and I can't get enough!
OH UH OH!!!! GETTING WILD WILD LIFE!!!!
This song is one insane stream of consciousness.........and if you're a karaoke singer, it's a great one to start with, because it's a great way to test your voice's capability for the night.

It was not just a cameo, he had a significant role in the film.
He was in the movie. This isn't just a music video.

Does this sound like song from 1986 , ,,, no way , listen to it in 2021 still sounds absolutely incredible, timeless classic ❤️❤️❤️❤️
ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSIC! 80'S MUSIC RULES!! the dj
Essa música é linda!
Sempre eu tocava no club nós anos 80 a 90 que tempo bom!
Era DJ nessa época!
Que perfeição,sou fã deles
I love R.E..
Esse David Byrne é o cara mais alternativo que eu conheço!!!! O cara é uma metamorfose ambulante viva!!! Sem condições!!!!
Ele e o Bowie fazem mágica nas músicas!
Ever since I've heard this in Open Season, I've always wanted to find the original. And now, today, I have found it.
Congratulations!
Que paso master?
Sounds like a good day
Just learned how to do Google searches, aye?
It's from the film True Stories.
This video is flippin' BRILLIANT !!! Have watched at least 1,000 times.....love all the characters.
I agree, & I'm sure I've watched it probably more than 1,000x's. It's a Gr8 SONG & definitely MY favorite video put out by them. I still listen to The Talking Heads fairly often - esp in the car. Lots of good driving songs. What's funny is We'll probably both watch it at least another 1,000x & still NOT get sick of it!! - LOL!! Peace!!
Tina's bass line on this song is off the chain!
Who's the other guitarist on this song?
fuck yes!
Jerry Harrison

Love the energy from the girl in the yellow jumpsuit 💛 yeah!
I'm in love with her!
Algumas música são inesquecíveis, não interessa a idade da pessoa, essa é uma delas!
Ive always loved hearing David Byrne's voice. His vocal range is out of this world to my ears. Looked up his bio & saw his Venus is in Taurus, which i have heard has a lot to do w/the voice & why i am so mesmerized and impressed w/peoples singing ability & vocal range. Imho. Tysm
I love you John Goodman!
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😃👍🏽👍🏽
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.
I love this song I could listen to it all night!!!!! David Bryne is one bust ass performer. I wish I could have seen them live just once!
Lyrics :
I'm wearing a fur pajamas
I ride a hot potato
It's tickling my fancy
Speak up, I can't hear you
Here on this mountain top, 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
I'll wrestle with your conscience
You wrestle with your partner
Sitting on a windowsill
But he spends his time behind closed doors
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
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
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 life
And I know that's the way you like it, oh-oh
Living wild, wild, wild, wild life!
Minha infância..
Que voz excelente desse cantor..ótimos tempos na vida de muitas pessoas. Deus abençoe.
Depende . A voz dele ficou horrível cantando com a SIA
1.Yes that's John Goodman. He was a struggling actor when he made True Stories, which while not a big hit landed him supporting roles in Raising Arizona and the Big Easy and eventually Roseanne
2. EDIT: Appareny that IS Meatloaf! Also, the guy with long hair and a thin mustache is Tito Larriva, an actor and singer who was also in From Dusk Till Dawn and other Robert Rodriguez movies
3. True Stories is a great movie and inspired the name of the band Radiohead
Ah-Ha , I knew it. Tito was the guy in From Dusk til Dawn & Desperado, thanks now I can sleep.
D Platt great info.....I'm surprised that Goodman did something like this after Revenge of the Nerds
That was Sam Kenison! Promise
Bulletstop75 I don't think that's him. Close but no cigar
Great Mind Spin. "Who, Him?"
My travel song. Whenever I hit the road. Instant Good vibes. For some Wild Wild Life. 😜
Byrne. An absolute genius x 100. This is a #1 Classic. Too bad MTV no longer really exists.
Favorite TALKING Head SONG!!Still Listening in 2018!!!
2018!! From Chile !!
Being a bit tipsy scrolling through Utube I always end up back to this track
Timeless and great art.
And while we're living this "Wild Wild Life", "We're On The Road To Nowhere".
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!
David Byrne, esse cara é foda velho. O som dos Talking Heads é muito bacana.
I miss music like this. New music doesn't compare to timeless gems like this. Talking Heads forever:)
It's so true, I feel like everything really drastically changed for the worse after the millennium and I think everyone having cellphones played a massive part in that. So many great memories sigh...
@@jungjeru3348there’s still great music being made though
@@flashiereagle2213 absolutely there is!!
I'm in a arcade in the mall. Playing games, wasting a lot of quarters. This song brings me back to '86" to "87". God I miss the upbeat.
This makes the top 50 videos all-time .... no doubt. It was immensely popular at the time.
