^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

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
