Thank You for Sending Me an Angel 2. With Our Love 3. The Good Thing 4. Warning Sign 5. The Girls Want to Be with the Girls 6. Found a Job – It starts out with a couple talking about how there’s nothing on TV. David Byrne points out that we’ve seen this conversation play out many times before. But throughout the rest of the song, he explores with us what would happen if the discussion didn’t end there. The couple ends up being so fed up with boring television that they make their own show, which ends up a hit. Their relationship even improves, now that the couple is truly enjoying themselves. 7. Artists Only 8. I’m Not in Love 9. Stay Hungry 10. Take Me to the River – Recorded with Eno in Nassau, Bahamas and peaked at #26. Byrne noted, “There were at least four cover versions of this song out at the same time: Foghat, Bryan Ferry, Levon Helm, and us “We played it live in the studio,” bass player Tina Weymouth remembered. “It sounded so great when we played it back that we immediately imposed a rule on ourselves – no additional playing, except single notes. Just one ping or bop or pang.” 11. The Big Country – In an interview with Marc Maron in 2015, however, David Byrne claimed that the song is a satire of popular culture’s image of him: i.e. as a snobby city kid. However, in reality, he says that he has a deep respect for the smaller parts of the U.S. Favorite Tracks: I\'m Not in Love, Take Me to the River, Found a Job, The Good Thing #TalkingHeads #TalkingHeadsReactions #ReactionsToTheClassics Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for \"fair use\" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
