The talking heads tribute thread

This is one of my favourite ever songs. Absolutely brilliant. When I hear it out you can forget talking to me for around 4 minutes.

Actually when I saw this thread title I thought it was a homage to Alan Bennettā€™s wonderful series on the BBC in the 80s (and made a return sometime afterwards).

@The Selfish Giant This is a most enjoyable thread so far and thank you for kicking it off. One question thoughā€¦ you have prefixed under the Equine category.

Is there something deeper going on here?

nope, I know that mac as a mod does lots of stats based on which category has the most threads and the most posts and he reports to rocko every month, doing this mess with his head a little bit, that is all

Every crusty and tree hugger in the Western World should be made listen to that ad nauseum.

Must get it put it on repeat next time weā€™re out.

Ahoy!!

Dear @The Selfish Giant ,

I had recently forgotten the joy of music and it must have been some months since I took some time to unwind and get lost in an album or artist.
Therefore, I cannot thank you enough for the recent interruption this thread has made in to my otherwise mundane existence. Like a jolt
from a bullet proof coffee iā€™m back in the game, connected and winning again. If life was a wet cold Tuesday night away to Stoke, iā€™m well up for it.
While experiencing this rather short lived state of elation I just wanted to let you know that I am a big fan of your work and look forward to your next
thread.

Sincere regards,

Chocolate B. Renton.

This is a fantastic tune and because of it I am going to be signing into the ā€˜Iā€™m on top of the worldā€™ thread shortly.

From their 1986 album True Stories.
