Who took the money away?
It's always show time
Here at the edge of the stage
Wake up and wonder
What was the place, what was the name?
We wanna wait, but here we go again
Takes over slowly but doesn't last very long
No need to worry evreything's under control
O U T but no hard feelings
What do you know, take you away
We're being taken for a ride again
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
She has the smoke in her eyes
She's coming up, going right through my house
She's gonna give me surprise
I think it's right, better than this
I think you can if you like
I git a girlfriend with bows in her hair
Nothing is better than that, is it?
Down, down in the basement we hear the sound of machines
I'm driving in circles come to my senses sometimes
Why, why, why, why start it over?
Nothing was lost, everthing's free
I don't care how impossible it seems
Somebody calls you but you cannot hear
Get closer to be far away
And only one look and that's all that it takes
Maybe that's all that we need
All that it takes, now that it's right
All it takes if it's right
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
And she goes wherever she likes, there she goes
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
Now everyone's getting involved
She's moving up going right through my heart
We might not ever get caught
Going right through try to stay cool, going through, staying cool
I got a girlfriend she's better than that
And nothing is better than you
I got a girlfriend thats better that 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 got a girlfriend she's better than that
And nothing is better that this, is it?
I'm eternally grateful for RP and Talking Heads!
-- IS IT?!
i find this both silly/funny and a little creepy/strange.
Time to get up again and see the film, it's moving through theaters again now. I believe it was updated to 4K and been enhanced musically too. Anyone seen the "remastered" version yet?
Just saw this a few days ago and it looked and sounded fantastic!
Granted, I had only seen it on a small, grainy VHS prior, so I cannot compare versions properly, but still worth getting to a theater.

EVERY TIME this comes on, whether it's on RP or iTunes at home or in my car, I JUST CAN'T HELP BUT DANCE AND SING ALONG!
Same here!! Thanx RP!
I want a girlfriend that does this....
my dad used to dance for me like this. he kinda resembled byrne a bit, too.
mesmerizing!
Great song! Love the guitar and drums.
Me too! PS: more cowbell!! Just kidding! LOL!
One of David's best acts ever!!!
You're hearing as much Bernie Worrell on these keys as you are Jerry (if not more).
Stop Making Nonsense
As for this track, I'm sad after hearing it because I never got to see a TH show! This is fantastic stuff, even better than the album version, rather amazing considering it's not real music lol. 8 rating for me.
Long Live RP! And feel free to play MORE Talking Heads (and really, whatever the hell you want to play, BillG!
You're hearing Parliament because you're listening to Bernie Worrell on keys.
When did he stop being a dick?
Did he piss in your cereal or something?
Yes.
just block the GIF source server - either via a brwoser plugin or quick and dirty with an new entry in your HOSTS file. Just add the line "127.0.0.1 giphy.com" to suppress all GIFs from this address (as this dancing cat below)
Personally, I love them.
You even love TH haters? That makes you a good person.
Literally me right now! :D
Or the last couple hundred times you heard it?
When you heard it in high school and missed the concert but saw it on the big screen? When you hear it for the umpteenth time when you occasionally turn on terrestrial radio stations? It is always a little sad what overplaying's role is when you try to rate a song.
I rate this and 'Life during wartime' (and a few other TH songs) by the number of calories they can motivate out of me. More than most groups. Also seeing David Byrne hurtling around the stage in 'Stop Making Sense' makes me think I could do better than I do. Every time I see it he never seems to have got any older.
Maybe you should have told him that over 40 years ago. It looks like since then it's turned out pretty well for him.
I agree!!
I'd hate to have to listen to only what you like, shudder! Bill plays Cowboy Junkies, too, but I hardly complain.

I'm hearing a bit of a Parliament vibe to this one. Interesting actually to think how similar these groups are, considering how "abnormal" their sound is compared to the "pop" sound of the day.

Klaus Nomi?? Friend of Bowie - bit of a mime as I recall - did he put out multiple records like everyone else on your list?
He didn't live long enough to do that. His influence was almost entirely a result of his live performances.
Burning down the house!!!!
Gonna shut up now in case I start making sense.
I'm with you....heard enough of them in the 80s.
I saw this film for the first time on Quello TV.
What a performance.....one of the all time great concerts (and film concerts). loved Tina's moves!
I wouldn't mind a bit more.
Well we're all entitled to our opinions, that's for sure. If you don't like them, there is a PSD button waiting for you. The rest of us will be jamming out till you get back. :)
I enjoyed it immensely back in the day. Not sure it tops the Last Waltz, but they realy are like apples and oranges

==================================================================
I agree!!
They do not even suck - they just....kill me!
TH + Floyd + Ludovico Einaudi - all into one bag,
some cement and over the bridge with them!

Great movie and soundtrack.
I agree... the attraction people feel to Byrne's music is beyond me.
He reminds me of a little kid constantly dancing and flailing around demanding applause for doing nothing notable. Very quickly you just want to tell him to go away... but he never does.
Oh yes, this just keeps getting funnier, each of the 5000 times you've posted it.
Ha. Ha. Ha.
My sides hurt.
This is the first time I've seen it, and I think it is quite funny.
I envy the deaf when i hear this.
LOLOLOL, I'd use the laughing rolling-head emoticon, but I never can get those suckers to work.
Definitely one of my least fave TH songs. "Stop Making Sense" was a great movie though.
This music just grates on my nerves
I love this song. I love Talking Heads.
Except this!
I feel exactly the same. I enjoy RP all day, except when Byrne's voice is drilling in my head... I forgive Bill for this 'cause everything else is very good. Nobody's perfect ;-)

...Best. Concert. Movie. Ever.

What, the "TH haters"? Bit perverse, that...
