"Hold tight! We're in for nasty weather!" "People on the way to work say baby what do you expect?" Stay safe and warm kids. And don't burn down ANYTHING!!!! xoxo
Funky, oddball, and making very little sense, this song could come from no other band than New Wave pioneers Talking Heads. Despite being one of my favorite bands, I only listened to the full Speaking in Tongues album from which this hails for the first time this past month. I forget how much I love this song, a testament to the jam-bred experimental approach to songwriting they conceived as a band. Musically, it's not nearly as complex as some works in their catalogue, but I think the free space lets the bare bones breathe and speak for themselves.
"Fighting fire with fire." A jam for the fifth of November.

How the old school music videos were so cheesy but so much more awesome. This is a foot tapper.
