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.
What about the time you were rollin' over
Fell on your face, you must be having fun
Walk lightly think of the time, you best believe this thing is real
Put away that gun, this part is simple
Try to recognize what is in your mind
God help us, help us loose our minds
these slippery people
Help us understand
Whats the matter with him
He's alright
How do you know
The lior won't mind
no no no way
He's alright love from the bottom to the top
Turn like a wheel
He's alright
See for your self
The lord won't mind
We're gonna move
right now turn like a wheel inside a wheel
I remember when, sittin' in the tub
Pulled out the plug, the water was runnin' out
cool down, stop actin' crazy
there gonna leave, and we'll be on our own
seven times five
there were many creatures
watch them come to life, right before your eyes
back slidin' how do you do
these slippery people, gonna see you through
Whats the matter with him
He's alright
How do you know
The lord won't mind
no no no way
He's alright love from the bottom to the top
Turn like a wheel
He's alright
See for your self
The lord won't mind
We're gonna move right now turn like a wheel inside a wheel x3
He's alright
The lord won't mind
He's alright love from the bottom to the top
He's alright
The lord won't mind
right now turn like a wheel inside a wheel
