^Fun blast from the past :)
My brain's been blasted too. A while ago, I bought David Byrne's American Utopia which is a live show in Broadway from 2018 (recommended btw). Since then, I've had that show's live version of Don't Worry About the Government playing regularly in my head. I actually prefer it to the original studio version posted below. What I like about it, besides it being generally pleasant and catchy (to me), is that it packs so much music and melody into a relatively short 3 minutes format. I often find it fascinating when a song separates from the standard verse, bridge, refrain format in pleasing ways. This song is like it doubles up on bridge and refrain.. or something. |
That's an apt description. One of my favourite Talkig Heads songs!

By the way, you should check out American Utopia if you get the chance. It's really good :) |
I should, thanks for the rec!
This has been stuck in my head ever since I discovered Chico Buarque a few days ago. This album is my life currently |
WTH does earworm mean is this some sort of slang ..????
why didnt u just say your current song stuck in your head |
Thanks jadis :laughing: |
Ha! I was trying to figure out why I dislike it. Maybe cause it was on heavy rotation on VH1 when I was a kid, or cause I was vaguely embarrassed by the Russian word (happens to me sometimes when I feel that the usage is weird). Or something about the video. Or I just don't like the song all that much, dunno. Maybe all of the above.
Will not skip it once I give Never For Ever a spin next time. |
I get the Russian word part, I'd feel weird if someone would weirdly insert a Dutch word in a song. I actually think any video which features Kate's bizarre mime-artist-posessed-by-etheral-witch dancing is an asset. How on earth did she even come up with that stuff
