Got to post the link for the actual thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfl9zqDSqZ4

Seriously though, how the hell did the Muppets end up ruining one of my favourite songs? Never saw that coming. Children's TV in the states is pretty imaginative; first that Stevie Wonder performance, now this.

By the way, if you have never seen Stop Making Sense, check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAuguTGcNrs

Can't help myself... More 'Heads: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOMoy6HUxxM. One of the best videos ever.

I thought the muppet version was actually pretty cute.  What was wrong with it?

David Byrne's solo material is certainly worth a look as well.   "Look into the Eyeball" and "Grown Backwards" are stupendous albums.   

I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert when he came through Spokane a while back.   He still has that same nervous energy.   He walks out on stage, as though he might be afraid that he's bothering you.  He leans into the microphone talks a bit about this song that he wrote, and maybe you might like to hear it.  Then he starts playing and he has the charismatic energy of 20 men.

Such a good show.

Please enjoy his travelogue of Spokane:
