Talking Heads Were Inducted Into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame In 2002. Talking Heads First Appeared On The New York Music Scene As A Trio In 1974. At The Time The Band Consisted Only Of Byrne And Frantz And Was Initially Called The Artistics. By 1975 The Band Had Recorded A Demo Album For CBS Records And Landed A Gig Opening For The Ramones At CBGB In June 1975 Which Was The First Time The Band Used The Name Talking Heads. The Band Was Signed To Sire Records In Late 1976 And The Group Released Their First Single "Love → Building On Fire" In February 1977. In March 1977 The Band Added Jerry Harrison Formerly Of Jonathan Richman's Band The Modern Lovers. Their First Album Talking Heads 77 Was Released Soon Afterward And Did Not Contain The Earlier Single Although It Did Include The Underground Singles Psycho Killer And Uh-Oh Love Comes To Town. Despite Being Regulars At New York's Legendary CBGB The Band Only Began To Break Through Further With The Landmark Brian Eno-Produced 1978 Album More Songs About Buildings And Food An Album Which Continued In The Same Vein But With A More Accessible Style Wittier Lyrics And Ultimately Better Songs. It Was A Great Critical Hit With Subject Matter Ranging From Home Movies To The Art World. It Also Included Their Cover Of Take Me To The River. On The Following Year's Fear Of Music The Band Started To Dabble In African Rhythms Notably On I Zimbra And More Straightforward Pop Styles On Life During Wartime And Cities. 1980 Brought The Band's Fourth And Most Innovative Effort Remain In Light. Notable For The Single Once In A Lifetime Which Became An Early MTV Staple Remain In Light Saw The Band Experiment With Ambient Sounds Fugal Structures Polyrhythms And About Everything Under The Sun To Make The Body Groove. Following This The Group Split With Brian Eno Enjoying Greater Commercial Success With 1983's Speaking In Tongues. It Took The Musical Innovations Of Its Predecessor And Refined Them Into Pop Songs Most Notably Burning Down The House Girlfriend Is Better And This Must Be The Place. This Period Was Topped Off With A Live Album From Jonathan Demme's Documentary Stop Making Sense. The Documentary With Its Name Taken From A Line In Girlfriend Is Better Was A Great Success And Took Their Inimitable Style To A Wider Audience. 1985's Little Creatures Was An Even Bigger Hit And Exhibited Another Stylistic Shift For The Band. It Saw The Punk Styles Of '77 Almost Completely Abandoned For Simple Three Or Four Chord Pop Songs. The Album Produced The Singles And She Was And Road To Nowhere. The Following Two Albums True Stories And Naked Were Both Moderate Successes The Former Producing Their Biggest Radio Hits Love For Sale And Wild Wild Life And The Latter Focusing More On Latin Influences With Hits Like Nothing But Flowers. After This A Long Quiet Period Followed With The Band Eventually Officially Announcing Their Break Up In 1991. Since The Split Byrne Continued His Solo Career And Weymoth And Frantz Continued To Record And Tour As Tom Tom Club. Weymouth Harrison And Frantz Reunited For An Album "No Talking Just Head" Recorded Under The Name The Heads In 1996. The Band Was Inducted Into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame In 2002. The Band Reunited For A Three Song Performance At The Ceremony. Due To Personality Conflicts Between Byrne And The Other Members Further Reunions Are Unlikely. Www.Talking-Heads.Net

It Almost Made The Top Ten In The Netherlands Peaking At #11 In 1977. Lyrics According To The Preliminary Lyric Sheets Copied Onto The 2006 Remaster Of Talking Heads 77 The Song Started Off As A Semi-Narrative Of The Killer Actually Committing Murders. Byrne Has Said Of The Song When I Started Writing This I Got Help Later I Imagined Alice Cooper Doing A Randy Newman-Type Ballad. Both The Joker And Hannibal Lecter Were Much More Fascinating Than The Good Guys. Everybody Sort Of Roots For The Bad Guys In Movies. The Bridge Lyrics Are In French And Include The Prominent Chorus Line "Qu'est-Ce Que C'est ?" Which Translates In English To "What Is It?". The Rest Of The French Lyrics Are Ce Que J'ai Fait Ce Soir-Là
Ce Qu'elle A Dit Ce Soir-Là'
Réalisant Mon Espoir
Je Me Lance Vers La Gloire... OK What I Did That Evening
What She Said That Evening
Fulfilling My Hope
Headlong I Go For Glory... OK An Early Demo Version Of The Song Recorded At CBS Studios And Also Performed At CBGB Had Different Lyrics After The First Chorus Listen To Me Now I’ve Passed The Test
I Think I’m Cute I Think I’m The Best
Skirt Tight Don't Like That Style

I've Got Tape I Want To Play'... And Strumming Maniacally Like Richie Havens" Playing An Acoustic Version Of "Psycho Killer" Backed Only By A Roland TR-808 Drum Machine Whose Sound Appears To Be Issuing From A Boom Box.
