The album this song is from is called Talking Heads '77, so that might explain the discrepancy between 77 and 78. Also notice how the line about passing out on the couch found in the demo version has been replaced by the bit about starting a conversation and not finishing it. Tina Weymouth scored a hit on her own -- "Genius of Love" -- with Tom Tom Club, the side group she formed with her husband Chris Frantz who was also the Talking Heads drummer.

Tina Weymouth is a crazy ass bassist, and she almost wasn’t in the band. Her boyfriend, now and still husband, the Talking Heads drummer Chris Frantz insisted she be in the band. They really wouldn’t have been the same without her. Unfortunately, the band dissolved in December 1991. David Byrne is an introvert who has a hard time communicating & that lead to friction between him & the rest of the band. Jerry Harrison, the keyboardist & rhythm guitarist gets along great with Tina & Chris, and they tried touring without David as the Shrunken Heads, and later just The Heads in the 90s to early 2000s, with guest vocalists; but David Byrne filed a cease & desist order. It really sucks that there’s this bad blood. For your sake Jamel, you really should get your hands on the CDs or downloads of the whole albums “More Songs About Buildings and Food”, “Fear of Music”, “Remain in Light”, and “Speaking in Tongues”. Those albums are SOLID all the way through & I think they’d absolutely be your jam.

That Talking Heads performance was what was to be the standard for the show.

The way it's performed on the 'stop making sense' video is so much better. I went to the theatre to watch the film for the first time in the 80's and it was amazing. I love the the way they come out onto the stage one at a time until the whole bad is there and psycho killer is the first track and there are only David Byrne and Tina Weymouth on the stage for that performance. The girls who perform backing vocals are amazing too.

This was a live performance on an old UK alternative music show from the 70’s and 80’s called “The old grey whistle test”. Lots of good live performances on KZfaq from that era are from that show.

No-one in the group liked David Byrne. He tried to claim credit for songs other members of the group had written and also tried to kick Tina out of the group!

Has anybody ever determined that he's actually talking about a psycho killer? Just curious. You're right the bass drives this entire song. Actually I think her bass drives most of their songs.

The version you did a day or so was not "the wrong version", it was very much the real song, from the real band. Even if it wasn't the "original" album version, that still doesn't make it wrong. I don't blame you for wanting to see the live version, but it's honestly irritating to me that people would comment that you listened to the wrong thing, or imply that you made a mistake when you didn't. The same thing happened before when people told you that you posted a Frankie Valli song but that it wasn't really him (it 100% WAS him, it was just a different version that was recorded about a decade after the original). Not mad at you obviously, not even really "mad" at the comments, because I'm sure they think they are being helpful. But at the same time, people need to stop and think before they say ignorant things.
