Talking Heads, con su estilo único y experimental, dejó una marca indeleble en la historia de la música. Fundada en 1975 en Nueva York, el grupo se destacó rápidamente en la escena musical por su mezcla ecléctica de punk, rock, funk y ritmos africanos. La banda se compuso originalmente de David Byrne (voz y guitarra), Chris Frantz (batería), Tina Weymouth (bajo) y Jerry Harrison (teclados y guitarra).
David Byrne, Chris Frantz y Tina Weymouth se conocieron en la Rhode Island School of Design. Compartían intereses similares en arte y música, lo que los llevó a formar una banda llamada The Artistics. Sin embargo, al mudarse a Nueva York y para alinearse con la vibrante escena punk del CBGB, decidieron cambiar su nombre a Talking Heads.
El 8 de junio de 1975, Talking Heads debutó en CBGB como teloneros de los Ramones. Su actuación llamó la atención del crítico de música del The Village Voice, John Rockwell, quien elogió su frescura. Esta exposición les permitió firmar con Sire Records en 1976.
Su primer álbum, Talking Heads: 77, presentó al mundo su estilo inconfundible. El sencillo "Psycho Killer" se convirtió en un himno y ayudó a establecer su reputación como pioneros del nuevo sonido post-punk.
Genius Of Love Song Lyrics
Genius Of Love by Talking Heads And it's a murder weapon
Coming at you right now ladies and gentleman, The Tom Tom Club, so check it out
Check it out
What you gonna do when you get out of jail?
I'm gonna have some fun
What do you consider fun?
Fun, nasty fun
(The girls can do it to y'all)
I'm in heaven with my boyfriend, my laughing boyfriend
There's no beginning and there is no end
Time isn't present in that dimension (Sure ain't)
He'll take my arm when we're walkin', rolling and rocking
It's one time I'm glad I'm not a man
Feels like I'm dreaming but I'm not sleeping
(Check it out) All the weekend, boyfriend was missing, I surely miss him
Having him hold me in his warm arms
We went insane when we took cocaine
Psychedelic and funkedelic
And everything is just jumping and outta sight, all night
Check it out
Stepping in a rhythm to a Kurtis Blow
Who needs to think when your feet just go?
With a hiditihi and a hipitiho
Who needs to think when your feet just go?
(Bohanon) Bohanon, Bohanon, Bohanon, Bohanon (Bohanon)
Who needs to think when your feet just go?
(Bohanon) Bohanon, Bohanon, Bohanon, Bohanon
James Brown, James Brown, James Brown, James Brown
He still is the godfather of soul y'all, so check it out
(Feels good to me) If you see him
Please remind him, unhappy boyfriend
Well he's the genius of love
He's got a greater depth of feeling
Well he's the genius of love
He's so deep
Freeze
Looks frozen to me
Who that, who that, now who that trying to be bad? You mother
Who that, who that, now who that trying to be bad? You mamma
Who that, who that, now who that trying to be bad? You mother
Who that, who that, ev'rybody, rock the house
Ok, that's it for the Tom Tom Club
Nice to be here. We gotta chance back into the Talking Heads
So when I say bye we gotta go
Ok, ok, bye
