I remember the first time I heard this song. It was used as a partial soundtrack for a moment in the movie "Wall Street." Charlie Sheen's character had just gotten a large NYC apartment and he began to furnish & decorate it with Darryl Hannah, as this song played in the background.

Talking Heads - such an intelligent band. Definitely in my top five best bands ever. Hey on every album and I've seen him live a couple times. They're also in most of my playlists.

Absolutely absorbing! Their best song IMHO and an excellent performance , with the amazing keyboard mastery of Bernie Worrel. (RIP) and the finest Lamp Dance in Rock history

Byrne himself storyboarded the lighting for SMS. My college theatre tech instructor gave extra credit for going to see it. It played as midnight movie at the UC Berkeley theater and my friends and I went often.

After having the A24 4K sitting around for months, I finally opened it and watched the film a few days ago. Not seen it since '84/'85. Bought back some 80s memories.

I saw this tour at Forest Hills, Queens, NYC in '83. It was the third (and final) time I saw Talking Heads. Memorable Concert.

Went to their concert at Berkeley Greek Amphitheater- also the Eurythmics that year. 84 was amazing. Checked the schedule for 26 - only knew the names of 3 artists. I’m old - damn

Utter genius. I also love the video to Life During Wartime from the same concert.

I’d love to own a music venue and call it ‘Naive Melody’ with the strap line ‘This Must Be The Place’
