While your wizard was exploring Le-moo-ri-a, Zeke was worried that you had traded the wild, wild wizard life for the sweet life in Karamelle. Zeke was bored and starved for conversation because Miss Eloise only wanted to talk about flowers and their relationship. Zeke and Eloise saw the mysterious rocks moving into the universe and decided to go find something interesting to talk about. So they took the road to nowhere and ended up here, wherever here is. Darn near everything talks here, Zeke found himself in a rousing repartee with… well… they was just heads, Talking Heads. An Earthquake has moved the heads away from Zeke and Zeke really wants to listen to their advice. Will you tell ’em Zeke is waiting for them?
Talking Heads were an American band formed in New York City during 1975. The band was composed of David Byrne (lead vocals, guitar), Chris Frantz (drums), Tina Weymouth (bass), and Jerry Harrison (keyboards, guitar). Described as “one of the most critically acclaimed groups of the ’80s,” Talking Heads helped to pioneer new wave music by combining elements of punk, art rock, funk, and world music with “an anxious yet clean-cut image”; they have been called “a properly postmodernist band.”
Talking Heads reached their commercial peak in 1983 with the U.S. Top 10 hit “Burning Down the House” from the album Speaking in Tongues. In 1984, they released the concert film Stop Making Sense, which was directed by Jonathan Demme. For these performances, they were joined by Worrell, guitarist Alex Weir, percussionist Steve Scales, and singers Lynn Mabry and Ednah Holt. In 1985, Talking Heads released their best-selling album, Little Creatures. They produced a soundtrack album for Byrne’s film True Stories (1986), and released their final album, the worldbeat-influenced Naked (1988), before disbanding in 1991. Without Byrne, the other band members performed under the name Shrunken Heads, and released an album, No Talking, Just Head, as the Heads in 1996.
In 2002, Talking Heads were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Four of their albums appeared on Rolling Stone’s 2003 list of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time”, and three of their songs—”Psycho Killer”, “Life During Wartime”, and “Once in a Lifetime”—were included among the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll. The band also ranked number 64 on VH1’s list of the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time”. In the 2011 update of Rolling Stone’s list of the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time”, they were ranked number 100.
“Road to Nowhere” is a song by the American band Talking Heads, from their 1985 album Little Creatures. The song was written by David Byrne and released as a single in 1985. It reached No. 25 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and No. 6 on the UK, German and South African singles charts. It also made No. 8 on the Dutch Top 40.
“(Nothing But) Flowers” is a song by rock band Talking Heads. It appears on the band’s final album Naked, released in 1988. It was released as the album’s second single. In addition to the band, the song features Kirsty MacColl on backup vocals and Johnny Marr, formerly of The Smiths, on lead guitar. It peaked at number 79 in the UK Singles Chart. Filmmaker Kevin Smith used the song as the opening of Clerks 2.
“Burning Down the House” is a new wave, funk, and art rock song. “This song started from a jam,” says bassist Tina Weymouth in the liner notes of Once in a Lifetime: The Best of Talking Heads. “Chris [Frantz] had just been to see Parliament-Funkadelic in its full glory at Madison Square Garden, and he was really hyped. During the jam, he kept yelling ‘Burn down the house!’ which was a P-Funk audience chant, and David [Byrne] dug the line, changing it to the finished version, ‘Burning down the house’.”
“Burning Down the House” was Talking Heads’ highest-charting hit single in North America, becoming their only top ten single on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 9, as well as reaching the top ten in the Canadian Singles Chart. Despite this success, the song was not a hit outside of North America. In Australia it peaked at a modest No. 94, while in the UK, where Talking Heads would release 14 charting singles, it failed to chart.
