This takes me back to my early teen years when Talking Heads were popular, at the top of their game. Some 7 or 8 years later my dad somehow discovered them. He bought their albums and played it over and over like it was brand new. Ahhh, the memories...
Just introduced myself to this group. I was stuck in the 70's musically. These guys are amazing musicians. And this song could be the theme song for COVID. Blows my mind!
Will it ever stop yo, hope so,ragtop down so my hair can blow,girlies on standby waiting just to say hi, did you stop? Nah I just drove,kept on pursuing to the next block or unblocked..ok the street ,,bumper to bumper the avenue was packed trying to get away so my car isn't jacked ...police on the scene, seeing the RUclips videos Deonna posted ,you know what I mean better things to do than call someone a dope fien,if there was a problem yo I solved it..but not your free for everyone... Lol ...not vanilla ice ice baby
@@debrawillard3034 you are correct. Person that did the lyrics made at least 3 mistakes that I saw. This song is deep and requires a lot of wisdom to be able to discern what is being said. I tried my best (on the other thread where you asked for the meaning) to give you a very short answer on an extremely complex subject-matter. Hope it helps
This song was stuck in my mind when the house next door was on fire. I kept singing it in a low voice but was afraid if the fire men heard me singing a song that said, burning down the house, they might think i started it. True story.
Yo también conocí esta canción por esa película que la vi de chico y recién ahora me entero del nombre de la banda y el nombre de la canción gracias a un programa musical de videos de los 80's de mi ciudad, a las radios de mi país no les intereso antes ni les interesa ahora pasarlo, que lastima.
Emporio: You know when you breathe oxygen and it's like **Huff** then it's like **Huff** *_AND YOU D I E???_* Pucci on the floor: _OH MY MAMA I BE DYIN!!_
Around this time I was too young to be at house parties but the parties we are always at my house growing up, fortunately and unfortunately. My parents had about 700 albums and this one is embedded in my memory
Please no 😭 I’m a massive jojo fan and this comment section has made me realize how fans of other songs jojo has reference feel. We might be as annoying as people say we are
" Burning Down the House " é uma canção da banda new wave Talking Heads , lançada em julho de 1983 como o primeiro single do seu quinto álbum de estúdio Speaking in Tongues.
For some reason.... I did not see this post! I never knew the exact words to this song but it is one of my daughters favorites. Such a fitting song! I am so excited for the future! ThanQ
@@fanatp0stpanka so because hes on a level that you cannot understand, hes all of a sudden on acid? Makes sense.👍 I'm sure he was back then. Does not mean he threw a bunch of lyrics together and called it art. You aren't giving him enough credit with your take
@@j.alexander4948 dude, Once in a Lifetime uses Eno's Oblique Strategies. That's just putting a bunch of stuff together and adding some personal thoughts and that's it. I love the band and I love Byrne. Yes, he's a genius, but you're overstepping the boundaries between crazy and genius.
I never would have thought back in 1984 that someday I'd associate this song with a group of survivors trying to lure flesh-eating zombies away from their settlement after the world has ended. =/
Perfect song for what is going down! Thank you for sharing it on your awesome channel! God I love it! Your beautiful and I love you for being you! (This one is going on loop!)

this song was playing over and over in my head during my three hour lecture and ive never been more excited to get home and listen to a song lmao
@NothingExotic 😂
@NothingExotic OK that was pretty funny.... AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA
Lol, that’s awesome!
Lmao !!! Sums up my life 😂😂
Same! But at work!
Literally, prophetic lyrics and analogy. Our world and reality= "the house".
I could never make sense of these lyrics.
😉 Talking in Tongues 👅 😝
It's about getting experienced.
You gotta burn down your ego before you can breakthrough.
Yep, these guys and the Clash..
This takes me back to my early teen years when Talking Heads were popular, at the top of their game. Some 7 or 8 years later my dad somehow discovered them. He bought their albums and played it over and over like it was brand new. Ahhh, the memories...
Dad's are people too. T
Play this song for him!😄
Hold tight we're in for nasty weather.
Pucci: *Heavy breathing intensifies*
- distant child laughter -
BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE
alternate version: when weather gets his memory disc
Hold on, imma make these three replies turn to 𝙛𝙤𝙪𝙧.
Ewwww bruh
Emporio and Tiziano have some really good taste in music
I know right?
@@edwardcoello9168 why does this stand have a Chanel
EXACTLY, THEY DO!!!
Especially Rohan...
Nopon yay!

Have you listened to "The Low Spark of High Healed Boys" by Traffic ? u might give it a go... 70's stuff
Low Spark of High Heeled Boys is so very Awesome!! Stevie Winwood is Brilliant!!
Yes!
Yep!!! We did know some shit back in the day.
The line that starts at 1:31 sums up perfectly the stand
I'd argue 1:01 😂
Perfect way to lead a zombie horde away
THE WALKING DEAD♥
True
YASSSSS
Thats the reason I'm here
@Super Tim I guess that works too
Emporio reminded me of this song and now it’s always stuck in my head. Thanks Araki 🙃👎🏼
They really captured the movement of fire with the sound of instruments.
Thank you for posting the lyrics since I'm half-deaf!
I imagine Emporio default dancing to this song as Pucci dies from oxygen
@Weird Vampire Kid I need this
his head just chrushed on the floor while emporia defaults dances
This is the only JoJo comment I've seen
Really sounds like he says cool baby instead of boom baby or is that just me?
justicex247 : It’s cool baby! I had the lyrics
on my Album...or sleeve!
iagree!!
i love this son but i have no idea what it is about??!!! anyone!!??
really beats the hell out of the drums!!
cool babies is correct. do u know what this song is about??
Badass drummer!!! Always loved the original
drummer rocks!!
I love this song. It's nice to see that I actually got some of the words right too.
Ikr, I only knew a few
For 30 years I thought the words at 0:28 were, "I was born in Af-ri-ca". Thanks for clearing that up for me.
30 yrs is along time to be wrong!! now u know whats right!!
u have thought that for 36 not 30 yrs!! it is all good!!

Old song, but will always still be a good song!
Oh boy pulling out the eighties songs.

This song really fits emporio to the final episode
I have not the slightest clue how this song just popped into my head. I haven't heard it in years. But, I'm glad it did. Thank you, random brain.
Emporio brought me here so maybe he brought you here to.
@@BigBoy-ds5nn its been 3 years but same 😐😐
Remember first hearing this on revenge of the nerds. I loved it. The percussion 🥁 is dope!

@@elcaminantederosenheim6106 es una buena película, la tengo que comprar.
When I was about 2 years old, I remembered this song by The Talking Heads!!!
This amazing song and another Talking Heads songs going around in my head - definitely some good messages there
Emporio: You know when you breathe oxygen and it's like **Huff** then it's like **Huff** *_AND YOU D I E???_*
Pucci on the floor: _OH MY MAMA I BE DYIN!!_
Lmfao 😭
jojo reference!!!
Stone ocean: I'll be back
Me: see ya later lad,
he saw your elders cry like babies
I don't know why this song is stuck in my head today but here I am.
It's 4 months later . ..... now it's stuck in my mind too ! Peace , from Cass County MICHIGAN ! Seawolf SSN575 !
Everything so stuck together !
I'm the same way. Once it's in my.head I gotta go home and put that song on very loud
Pucci was definitely in for some nasty Weather when he entered Burning Down the House
Hidan Kishin i can confirm this
I played this song super loud on the last day of school. All the kids had no idear of what I was playing, but my teacher was cool with me doing it.
This song goes through my head when I watch the evening news and think about tomorrow
Soundtrack to my childhood. Thanks, parents.
Awesome song that is so 80's.
Future proves Past!
Hell yes!!
This song will go perfect during the next economic downturn depression. It will be epic 😎
Great song, I love it,just don't burn my house down, LOL ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Seeing Jerry from TWD jam to this was epic
My fav rope jumping music thanks
Can ya remember going to house parties and this song is blasting on CASSETTE TAPE..? The Cars, Hall and Oates..ZZ TOP
Yes!!!
Around this time I was too young to be at house parties but the parties we are always at my house growing up, fortunately and unfortunately. My parents had about 700 albums and this one is embedded in my memory
The CARS!!❤❤❤❤
BRILLIANT frickin’ song.
TWD brought me here lol Cool song and very catchy!
Never watched 13 going on 30?
This is what my quarantine has come to.
The Drummer beats the breaks off the drums
Yup. I've looked at lots of the drum covers on RUclips for this song. NONE of them come close!
@@kirkkohnen5050 was it a live drum recording? Sounds like overdubs and alot of gate
So fine!
Many Thanks for this!
Can't wait for Stone Ocean to be animated and see Jojo fans storm this comment section.

The Walking Dead brought me here! It was an epic scene!
The walking dead !!
Awesome song!
Awesome grow up listening to this song = never knew all of the words
This song was in probably one of my favorite scenes of the walking dead. Leading hundreds of zombies away while killing whisperers with this bop on

Perfect song for today.
I heard this song as a kid and 20 years later i still have no idea what it's about.
This is gonna be on the walking dead I bet you

It's 2019 and this song never made so much sense. We're burning down our house.

You're a Talking Head?
Who's from the walking dead saison 10 episode 16 🔥 🔥
Hell ya

Yeah man.
Nobody 😳🥵
1:45 - It's 'expect?' not 'except'.
And 'staring' not 'starring' at 2:38.
But apart from that it's grand.
Dang reminds me of the time to never breathe pure oxygen though.
This is so dam fun to sign along
I boy I sure do love sign language

I’m here from an alternate universe that was reset from a gay priest who died by a 12 yr old kid using magic CDs and air conditioning
Got to love the classical music!
Classical? It's punk rock new wave. I don't call this classical.
@@kimholcomb6943 you sound like people love to be around you....
Weird. I haven’t heard this in a long time. Popped into my head after waking up the other day.
😎✌️😀😀
I always thought at 0:25 it was “Space Banana Sphincter”
Waiting for Paramore’s cover ✨
I so love this at 74🙋😂
I love this song
Who else is here because of The Walking Dead?
That was an epic scene!
Yup
Perfect song for what is going down! Thank you for sharing it on your awesome channel! God I love it! Your beautiful and I love you for being you!

This is one of those songs you completely know the lyrics to after one listen
No not at all..I’m catching em for the first time
