Since you liked the video, you might want to watch the Talking Heads concert film "Stop Making Sense" (1984). Some consider it the best concert movie ever made. Band members David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, and Chris Frantz met as students at the Rhode Island School of Design. Their background in design comes through in their look. The band needed a bass player when they were getting started, so Frantz encouraged Weymouth to learn the instrument by listening to Suzi Quatro records. Weymouth auditioned three times before she became a band member. I think it worked out pretty well for her. Weymouth and Frantz formed another band called Tom Tom Club that was active at the same time as Talking Heads. Their biggest hit in the U.S. was "Genius of Love," which has a really good animated music video. The band and song were also featured in "Stop Making Sense." David Byrne directed the movie "True Stories" (1986), and wrote the music for "The Last Emperor" (1987), "Married to the Mob" (1988), "Young Adam" (2003), "This Must Be the Place" (2011), and "Contemporary Color" (2016). Other songs by Talking Heads: - Psycho Killer - Take Me to the River - Wild Wild Life - Once in a Lifetime - Road to Nowhere BTW, the lyric "leave those kids alone" is from "The Wall" by Pink Floyd.
You mentioned Genius of Love by The Tom Tom Club. The song peaked at #31 on the BILLBOARD Hot 100. However, Fantasy by Mariah Carey and Big Energy by Latto both sample Genius of Love and both hit #1 on the Airplay chart.
I’ve always loved the fact this song doesn’t sound like other songs. It’s unique and it stays in your head, where some songs are just a throw away song, and easily forgotten
They met at the Rhode Island school of Design. I’m friends with Chris (drums) and Tina (bass) who are married and live near me. They also started the band the Tom Tom Club and play in our area. In 1977 their first hit was Psycho Killer-fantastic.
I have to say that I continue to be blown away by their live performance of "Life During Wartime". So funky and so physical... besides being a total jam.
you have to watch the music video by them "Life During Wartime" from the Stop Making Sense live concert movie. One of my favorite video ever, great lyrics as well. Love your channel.
I was a total snow skiing freak in the early 90s, and regularly tore up the slopes in the mountains all over the western US, listening to the talking heads on a Sony Walkman.
As others have noted, the Talking Heads made one of my favorite concert films, "Stop Making Sense," which was recently restored and re-released. I remember one of the television ads for the film in which David Byrne interviewed himself. Q: "Why is the film called "Stop Making Sense?" A: "Because it's good advice!"
@@DianeJenningsByrne was clearly toying with the interviewer though. ”Stop Making Sense” is a phrase from their song “Girlfriend is Better” near the end of the song, referring to the (metaphorical) girlfriend: “I’ve got a girlfriend that’s better than this but you don’t remember at all. As we get older and stop making sense, You won’t find her waiting long. Stop making sense, stop making sense… Stop making sense, making sense!” I bet he thought his “advice” answer up after being asked the same dumb question 4000 times.
When I was a pre-teen, my dad used to take me to the Charles Theater in Baltimore to watch arthouse & international movies. One of the films we saw was Talking Heads’ “Stop Making Sense”, which was so electrifying that we stayed in our seats and watched it through twice. Looking the release up now, he may in fact have taken me for my birthday; I’ll have to ask. Anyway, this began my lifelong love for Talking Heads (and related band, Tom Tom Club). Stop Making Sense is now widely considered to be the greatest concert film of all time, offering unique and even magical takes on many of their hits. While it might be fun to suggest individual songs, that might deny you the magic of watching the entire concert (whether as a reaction or not). 2024 was the 40th anniversary of the film release, though the four concerts they filmed were technically December ‘83. The benefit of this is that great remasters of the film and album have recently been released. If you’re not limited to hits, check out their song “Listening Wind.” Also if you check out Tom Tom Club’s original album version of “Genius of Love” you will probably realize it’s been sampled in a couple huge ways since. When I listen to “On The Line Again” I honestly think while less famous, Tom Tom Club was probably more musically influential in the long run. It’s like listening to Debussy and hearing the path being cleared for everything from Gershwin to Art of Noise…
I haven't seen the video either but knew the song. Diane Jennings hasn't been on the Simpsons yet! But maybe 🤔 soon. Have a good weekend Diane! Thanks!
Glad to hear that you liked Burning Down the House. Because of your theatrical background I would also highly recommend that you check out the live version of Life During Wartime from the film Stop Making Sense. You might even want to watch the entire film. Many critics say it is the best concert film ever produced. It was directed by Jonathan Demme.
Diane- great video reaction selection. I am a big Talking Heads fan (brings back a lot of great memories from the 80's). During the college years you could always count on hearing Burning Down the House at any house/frat party.
Several year ago, I volunteered as medical personnel at concerts. I got to work a David Byrne (lead singer) concert, and his stage performance was outstanding!
Happy Friday Diane! Cool song here. I saw Bonnie Raitt do a cover of this song live at the Ravinia Festival (near Chicago) back in 2016. Great song. And Highly Recommend Bonnie Raitt, she's brilliant. Have a great weekend!
When this came out and I was a young single man in my early twenties this is the song I would play loudly on my car stereo to start my night, while head to the Friday night party. Sounds great on a good stereo. The drums are mixed to please.
"Life In Wartime" is really good lyrics. Slice of life from someone trying to survive the war. Talking Heads were Rhode Island School of Design. Pioneers in new wave and on MTV a lot.
Fun song, delightful video. I never thought this song was about arson. I like how your Irish accent was a bit stronger at end of this video. Happy Weekend
IN THE SUMMER OF "83" WORKING IN A RESTAURANT KITCHEN, WHEN THIS SONG CAME ON THE RADIO WE STOP WHAT WE WERE DOING AND DANCE UNTIL THE SONG ENDED!!,😍🤩🥰💃🕺📻
1982 was the year I graduated High School and this song was a huge summer hit the year after when it came out. I'm not 100% sure but I think I remember a David Burn solo career after the he left the Heads. We used to call this sort of music "New Wave" but I never considered The Talking Heads a true New Wave group as they where around in the late 1970's with there Billboard Top 100 hit song "Psycho KIller" in 1977-78. They where more on the lighter side of "Punk" music IMHO, song's like "And she was", "Once in a Lifetime", "Take me to the River" and "Wild Wild Life" where good tunes that served them well and the Live album/video/movie "Stop making Sense" was a big seller to! very well made, I had it on VHS tape. One of the band's I played in back in the 1980's did "Stay up Late", it was a favoret among the regulars that came to our show's! Honestly I doubt if to many of them actually knew it was a Talking Heads song as it wasn't one of there hit songs.
Talking Heads - Life During Wartime (live) from Stop Making Sense is one of the best live performances you could see from ANY band. Extraordinary and worth checking out!
This song is VERY Percussive and Ethereal all at once, for sure! Love it - sooo '80s. Their cover of Al Green's TAKE ME TO THE RIVER is the Very Best. It's on the album More Songs About Buildings and Food (1978), arguably their Best album, acting like the '80s ahead of time. Frantz is Chris Frantz, the Drummer - his wife Tina Weymouth on Bass Guitar.
Talking Heads were a breath of fresh air in what was becoming 'formula rock' of the early '80s, and they contributed to the alternative New Wave rock sound that was emerging at the time. Their music prompted my exploration of other New Wave bands which added a whole lot of musical flavour and colour for me in the '80s.
Was in college when this came out. The guys in the suite next to me were having a loud party and played this song over and over when I was trying to get to sleep. Later that night after the music had died down the fire alarms went off. A candle in their suite started a pretty fierce fire and we all stood outside watching as the fire company put it out. The house nearly burned down that night.
Love your reaction to Talking Heads. I hope your next reaction is Atarashi Gakko, First Take. Also Band-Maid, live version of Freedom. I am obsessed with these groups, as you can see. ❤
Burning Down The House was one of those songs you heard all the time on the radio. Catchy chorus, and beat. Never saw the video till today, and it was kind of disjointedly trippy. It is a new wave song, and I never really got what new wave was. A song I'd heard, but never paid much attention to. I didn't know what the song was by the intro until the first drum flourish, and then I immediately knew it. Diane answered all the questions that I'd never even thought to ask. Your reactions were expressive, so a great reaction video.
I remember seeing the video on mtv, and people playing it at parties and graduate school in the mid-80s. But I never would have thought of them as new wave. I always thought of New Wave in association with heavy synthesizer sounds
In the 1970s and 1980s, I would hear their songs on the radio. It wasn't until I watched "Stopped Making Sense" that I realized that, at their core, they were performance artists. "Life During Wartime" live from the movie Stop Making Sense would be a good next video.
The genre was referred to as "New Wave"(Blondie, The Cars, Elvis Costello,Tom Petty, Devo, The B-52's, Duran Duran, Human League, The Pretenders, The Police)(and LOT'S more).....your friend in the Pacific Northwest(Seattle)...Wayne Maher....
The Talking Heads were monsters of the New Wave scene but they never let their fame get in the way of their art. They self-destructed largely because of personality clashes. A lot of people didn't know what to make of them. You just listen to the Heads and either you're entertained or you're not.
I'll admit, it took me a few listens to really get into them. The first time I heard one of their songs, it was so different from everything else on the radio, and David Byrne's vocal stylings (especially in this song) were so *odd* , that I definitely didn't know what to make of them either. 🙂
The Talking Heads have a wide variety of music. I love David Byrne's quirky style. Please look in to songs Road to Nowhere, Psychokiller, and Life During Wartime.
Another 80s band/song that I know nothing about because it was during the years when I was overseas serving in the Navy. So this is my 'first time' hearing it too. It's cute.
Randy Bachman (yes that is his real name) has released a documentary at this year's TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival). In recognition of his musical talent, here are two bands he played in and a song they are known for: The Guess Who (yes that is the name of the band): American Woman (a tune that was written while tuning a guitar at a live concert). BTO (aka Bachman, Turner Overdrive): Takin' Care of Business (which is also the name of the documentary)
I've never forgotten the surreal music video since I first saw it, especially the house projected onto the wall. Tom Jones also has a decent cover of it with the Cardigans.
Very unique band, as you suggested, and David Byrne is a very unique dude! I feel like their most iconic video was probably "Once in a Lifetime." It's possible you've heard that one too. It may not have been as big of a hit, but I think it was a bigger music video.

I only know this song from the movie 13 going on 30, this geeky kid is dancing to it at a party lol
That's probably where she knows it from too!😅
Ohhhhh yeah I think sooooo! Well done
@@DianeJennings😊same
Pinned! Piiiiiinnneeeddd!

BTW, the lyric "leave those kids alone" is from "The Wall" by Pink Floyd.
It really is one of the best concerts ever. Life During Wartime is my favorite.
That sounds very intriguing thanks Jeff!
It's fantastic watching the band transfer form Talking Heads to Tom Tom Club as David changes into the big suit.
You mentioned Genius of Love by The Tom Tom Club. The song peaked at #31 on the BILLBOARD Hot 100. However, Fantasy by Mariah Carey and Big Energy by Latto both sample Genius of Love and both hit #1 on the Airplay chart.
it's a must see

That video will live rent free on my head till I die . I saw it on MTV in the day room in my Army barracks while my platoon was getting drunk lol
One of MTVs early videos. Talking Heads ushered in the New Wave genre. Classy as always Ms. DJ!
So glad you enjoyed it! I imagine you’re due a long sleep now!
Walking Zombies today!!!@@DianeJennings
They did a great cover of Al Green's "Take me To the River."
Fantastic cover. Much underrated band but I don't think they cared
They're my favorite band! Thanks for checking them out!
'Once in a lifetime.' My fav.
I have to say that I continue to be blown away by their live performance of "Life During Wartime". So funky and so physical... besides being a total jam.
Awesome Diane!!! please do more Talking Heads if you would!!! ....80s New Wave for sure!
you have to watch the music video by them "Life During Wartime" from the Stop Making Sense live concert movie. One of my favorite video ever, great lyrics as well. Love your channel.
I JUST LOVE YOUR REACTION AND IT'S VERY APPROPRIATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER ! ! ! 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Talking Heads were a genre unto themselves.
One of the greatest concerts I've ever seen. I cannot recall seeing a better show.
woke up to this song 7am in 1983 september-october, on alarm clock radio, just before getting up for school, AH, the early 80s, brings back memories
I remember watching this on MTV in a bar wasted in 83. Cool song!
You too??? Imagine that. Mighta been the same bar??? Ever been to Guam in 83???

I bet he thought his “advice” answer up after being asked the same dumb question 4000 times.
“Well, that was a whole new thing.” is one of the best reactions to Talking Heads I’ve ever heard! 😂
One of those songs that you can't forget the bridge, but darn if I could remember any other lyrics. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it! I know EXACTLY what you mean!!
This band has class oozing out of EVERYTHING!

Yay another great video. I sometimes sing this song when I hear it on the radio.
Love that!
During the 80s, there was a lot of experimenting with synthesizers. The Talking Heads were originals during the go-go 80's.
Good song us Irish have good ears🎉
I haven't seen the video either but knew the song. Diane Jennings hasn't been on the Simpsons yet! But maybe 🤔 soon. Have a good weekend Diane! Thanks!
You too!! Thank you 😊
It’s nice to see young people appreciate old stuff.
Never was into them but thanks for reacting to them. Take care, be safe and have a great weekend. ❤
You too!!
Love the Talking Heads
Fun, hadn't heard this in quite a while. Thanks Diane, and have a good weekend!
Thanks, you too!

You look entranced by the face projected on the road until you finally give it the "what the hell am I looking at" look.
Probably just a coincidence that the white lines went up his nose.
Diane- great video reaction selection. I am a big Talking Heads fan (brings back a lot of great memories from the 80's). During the college years you could always count on hearing Burning Down the House at any house/frat party.
Rock on! Thankee!
My favorite video is from the 1983 concert, Talking Heads - Life During Wartime (live)
front man david byrne is still with us at 72 years of age. the HEADS were huge and ahead of their time for new wave bands
Saw them in '83. Hands down the best concert I've ever seen !!!!!
I have never really got into The Talking Head’s music. I just stopped by to wish you a Happy Friday!
This song has such unique energy and that comes across in live performances of it. Even when covered by other bands.
1980's progressive rock. One of my favorite bands, had all their albums and cassettes for the car.
Several year ago, I volunteered as medical personnel at concerts. I got to work a David Byrne (lead singer) concert, and his stage performance was outstanding!
Sounds like a great job 🤩
Happy Friday Diane! Cool song here. I saw Bonnie Raitt do a cover of this song live at the Ravinia Festival (near Chicago) back in 2016. Great song. And Highly Recommend Bonnie Raitt, she's brilliant. Have a great weekend!

Thank you for a blast from the past. Really needed it today.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fun song, delightful video.
I never thought this song was about arson. I like how your Irish accent was a bit stronger at end of this video. Happy Weekend
Was it!!? The wtf of the music video must have caused me to lose my professional accent 😂
Performance Art and percussion perfection!
4:44 soooo very artistic🤣, at least the guys face on the road seems as confused as Diane, I’m enjoying it though
IN THE SUMMER OF "83" WORKING IN A RESTAURANT KITCHEN, WHEN THIS SONG CAME ON THE RADIO WE STOP WHAT WE WERE DOING AND DANCE UNTIL THE SONG ENDED!!,😍🤩🥰💃🕺📻
You should react to more Talking Heads. There is a lot there to hear.
It's 80's. The Talking Heads are just their own thing.
Hard to describe but they had impact
"Our Middle of the Street" follow by "Burning Down the House" seems to come to mind.
1982 was the year I graduated High School and this song was a huge summer hit the year after when it came out. I'm not 100% sure but I think I remember a David Burn solo career after the he left the Heads.

This came out my sophomore year in high school, hehe. Saw the Stop Making Sense in Eugene, OR too. Time flies.
Your second song should be Life During Wartime. You WILL dance.
Tom Jones and 'The Cardigans' did a cover of "Burning Down The House" in 1999.
Always liked this song since the 80's, but please check out "Once In A Lifetime" (Same As It Ever Was). It's like their best song.
Good group. They are new wave, punk, funk, and art rock. A nice cross over......
I saw them in once in '82 and once in '83. Great shows!
More? Perhaps Life after Wartime or And She Was.
This song is VERY Percussive and Ethereal all at once, for sure! Love it - sooo '80s. Their cover of Al Green's TAKE ME TO THE RIVER is the Very Best. It's on the album More Songs About Buildings and Food (1978), arguably their Best album, acting like the '80s ahead of time.

Later that night after the music had died down the fire alarms went off. A candle in their suite started a pretty fierce fire and we all stood outside watching as the fire company put it out.
The house nearly burned down that night.
Love your reaction to Talking Heads.
I hope your next reaction is Atarashi Gakko, First Take. Also Band-Maid, live version of Freedom. I am obsessed with these groups, as you can see. ❤
Once in a Lifetime is my favorite, but I love the energy of Life During Wartime from their movie Stop Making Sense . . .
Happy Friday!! I really love this video. Have a awesome weekend.
Thank you! You too!
Burning Down The House was one of those songs you heard all the time on the radio. Catchy chorus, and beat. Never saw the video till today, and it was kind of disjointedly trippy.

New Wave is the style of music. Popular in the 1980s. One of my favorite bands along with Devo and The Cars.
In the 1970s and 1980s, I would hear their songs on the radio. It wasn't until I watched "Stopped Making Sense" that I realized that, at their core, they were performance artists.
"Life During Wartime" live from the movie Stop Making Sense would be a good next video.
I used to sing this song.And made my brother nuts
Loved this song. It reminds me of High School.
The best of New Wave.
I heard this song a lot in college. It was everywhere. I never saw the video, though. Interesting!
It’s kinda crazy 😂
One of my top nominees for Best "We Need A Lyric Here" with its entry of "Uhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Good 80's music
Great review 😊
The genre was referred to as "New Wave"(Blondie, The Cars, Elvis Costello,Tom Petty, Devo, The B-52's, Duran Duran, Human League, The Pretenders, The Police)(and LOT'S more).....your friend in the Pacific Northwest(Seattle)...Wayne Maher....
Reminds me of Casey Kasem top 40 countdowns. Great time to be a teenager.

Absolute favorite song by Talking Heads is the live version of This Must Be The Place from their movie Stop Making Sense
Songs great! Video can be hard to wrap your head around but that makes it fun to watch!😊😊😊😊😊! (Well. Sort of.)
So true!
Another 80s band/song that I know nothing about because it was during the years when I was overseas serving in the Navy. So this is my 'first time' hearing it too. It's cute.
It is!! That’s a cool lil time travel u get
Randy Bachman (yes that is his real name) has released a documentary at this year's TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival). In recognition of his musical talent, here are two bands he played in and a song they are known for:
The Guess Who (yes that is the name of the band): American Woman (a tune that was written while tuning a guitar at a live concert).
BTO (aka Bachman, Turner Overdrive): Takin' Care of Business (which is also the name of the documentary)
Fun fact: When Diane was at the Culver's in "Milwaukee", she was only 1.5km from one of the Talking Heads homes. (which has not burned down😋)
I heard this song too. Interesting music video by the way.
Very!!
For the 5 yr in a row. I was voted the most secretive guy in the office.
I can’t tell you how much this award means to me
Well done!🤪
I like how you do a little research about the song and provide us this information.
Thank you!
The thing to remember about the Talking Heads is that it is basically performance art.
Also - Tom Jones covered this with the Cardigans.
One of my T-H's favs!
This is the first video I ever saw on MTV
Love your videos
Same here, heard the song a lot, but first time seeing the video. Definitely interesting. Gave me "Toys" vibes for some reason.
Glad you enjoyed it! Oh I love that film!!!
@@DianeJennings I love the film too! Recently got it on DVD, took forever to find for some reason.
I've never forgotten the surreal music video since I first saw it, especially the house projected onto the wall. Tom Jones also has a decent cover of it with the Cardigans.
It’s really very cool!
You're becoming more well-rounded musically, than a lot of your regular viewers.😁👍
A gal can dream
Very unique band, as you suggested, and David Byrne is a very unique dude! I feel like their most iconic video was probably "Once in a Lifetime." It's possible you've heard that one too. It may not have been as big of a hit, but I think it was a bigger music video.
I was a weird youngster, and I loved Talking Heads.
A lot of us were and did :)
