This song is so awesome. I remember when I first heard it back in the 1980's. I fell in love with this song immediately. How could you Not love it. It's so much fun on the dance floor!!!

63 now and first time listening to this song. It's genius on every level. Cheers

When I was 12, My dad was stationed in Iceland in the Navy. His boss was Admiral Weymouth. I googled Admiral Weymouth in January 2020 just for kicks and to my surprise, he is still alive (102) and he is a war hero, and his daughter, who was 16 then is Tina Weymouth! We met her and her other siblings back then, but I was so surprised and impressed that she went on to be in the Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club. Awesome! Mind Blown!

Brilliant live version. Tina is on top form singing and playing.

And THAT, my friends, is REAL dance music. It has an amazing hypnotic effect on the audience. What a fun song.

The percussion and vocals on this are an another level.

Wow I'm 52 ...grew up with this...great live version...love the bass and scratching

You gotta love a band who look like they're enjoying themselves as much as you are.

Now that sound as good playing this live as they do in the studio

A classic of words, music, ambiance, sounds, images...

They are jamming and funking like it's their last day on earth! Amazing!!!

This was amazing when I first heard it on record. then was treated to a short Tom Tom Club set during a Talking Heads show at Red Rocks (Tom Tom club and the awesome Tina tore it UP) she'll always be one of my rock and roll Heroes. I was truly blessed for the experience

Now that was one classic album love it

1981年、日本語では、おしゃべり魔女、という名前の曲で、私も毎日聴いていました。ライブも素晴らしいです👍

I remember the school dances . Omg ! those were the greatest high school memories or going out with friends . Totally Awesome !

and when he was younger too! Haha, i'm nearly 55, and when I was young, we had so much fun on this; what a party song! I was the funniest dancer, because, I cannot dance really, but I amused myself to death on this crazy song!

How could you not like this band brilliant

Weymouth and Frantz still rocking it.....Superb!!!

What a great live version spot on I'm sitting with a big smile thank you Tom Tom Club

They can still jam!!! Love this song!

Oh my god !! what an amazing performance of an brilliant song better live than the recorded vinyl record

Fun song! Makes me wanna dance. Chick with bass rocks! Love 80's

This song is so legendary! My dad used to listen to it when I was younger :)

The groove is perfect!

Basic and complex at the same time. A true classic.

Love this better than the album version!!!:) They just get better and better!!!!:)

Love Tom Tom Club and Talking Heads!

Fantastic beautiful

The bass line...simple and amazing....

Tina, greatness. AND every band member here is LEGEND!

The TTC's live shows are always great. I travelled to NY to see them several times..each time they are magic.. they had a huge ensemble for their Escape from NY tour many years ago..with ramones debbie harry and jerry harrison..EXCELLENT!

WOW ! Amazing live track ! Remember and love this song 💖

Tina ALWAYS stays in the groove!❤️🤯😺🎃

Wow! what a blast from the past, so glad I found this gem. cheers time tourists . .

Bring me back to the dance floor on 80's.👍👍👍

My favorite performance of this song among those I've found on KZfaq.

30 years of dancing all started here,genius indeed.

In my opinion when talking heads & blondie (Frank infante) were on the same bill at CBGBs you got to witness the two greatest bassist ever. Tina learned herself she is a icon

Absolutely amazing Chris franze was excellent and Martina as well !!!

its amazing that one guy can play a keyboard while holding drumsticks at the same time

Words are worth words !...

Got to be one of the most awesome songs of all time, ever, ne plus ultra. About 40 to 80 years ahead of its time. Chris counting in Japanese...

Nice quality live of this song, best I've found. Total jam

Brilliant!!! Always loved this song!!! xoxoxo

Tina’s Bass groovt 🎸😍

Somente quem passou pelos maravilhosos anos 90/80 sabe a importância dos passinhos naquela época!!!! Sensacional... De Jundiaí, SP Brasil...

このベースライン弾きながらこのメロディをよく歌えるよなあ。。すげ

この曲で若い頃、ぶっ飛びました

i love long time ago and i slill love it so much

Iam no dancer but if I was at this show I would be jumping all around this joint this song is putting me back in my teenage years,plus I love how she's bangin that Bass and singin... love you Tina

TomTom、最高ですな！

Amazing rock-song 👍🤡👍 IT really is the BEST. Can go on for ever. Thxxx

Sacré souvenir, bravo Tom Tom Club

Known this song for years but never knew who did it. Genius.....pure genius

Imagine how great ur mind is to remember the lyrics live

This is real music my friends...not vulgar crap like these days, thanks

Novelty , funky masterpiece . Should have been a monster hit worldwide !

Talking Heads and Tom Tom Clubs were proud embassadors of white artschool funk back in the very early 80s. Along with Gang of Four, A Certain Ratio.

What a band. 👏👏👏😊

just had this playing on two tabs at once--wild try it!

Excellent.i love it.

THE 80's best best best music decade ever !!

So good to hear again - and Japan has the good taste once again to invite good bands...

This is my Tom Tom Club's fav song. Brave!!!! oggi come quarant'anni fa, quando ascoltavo questo pezzo a manetta...

essa musica fez grande sucesso nos anos 80 e continua ainda hoje, a letra fala muito do poder das palavras, mas esse arranjo é simplesmente maravilhoso e contagiante, esse baixo tocado dessa forma é um diferencial, e a repercursão sem palavras!!!!👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

Canción hipnotizante que acompañaba a los anuncios de la selección española de baloncesto a comienzos de los 80. Fantástica

Absolutely brilliant 🤩

Now THAT'S entertainment ! I love how they're still a bit stiff at the beginning of the song and progressively loosen up and really, really enjoy themselves !

Je l'adore

MUITA loucura de som,marcou muita minha vida....

Amazing. Such a vibe

they're realy wordy rappinghooding... i love it

...PURE AWESOMENESS!!...💕

Gosh almighty! That sounded as good as the original from back in day. Absolutely loved it! From a wordy rapper from the hood.(white boy hood- the trailer park).
