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.
Slippery People (Live) Song Lyrics
Slippery People (Live) by Talking Heads What about the time?
You were rollin' over
Fall on your face
You must be having fun
Walk lightly
Think of a time
You'd best believe
This thing is real
Put away that gun
And this part is simple
Try to recognize
What is in you mind
God help us
Help us lose our minds
These slippery people
Help us understand
What's 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
I remember when
Sittin' in the tub
Pulled out the plug
The water was runnin' out
Cool down
Stop acting crazy
They're gonna leave
And we'll be on our own
Seven times five
They were living creatures
Watch 'em come to life
Right before your eyes
Backsliding
How do you do?
These slippery people
Gonna see you through
What's 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
What's 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
What's 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
Alright
The Lord won't mind
Alright
Love from the bottom to the top
Alright
The Lord won't mind
Right now
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel
