I think we can signify our love now
Ooh, girl, you can initiate an impulse of love

Stay hungry, stay hungry, stay hungry
Move a muscle, move a muscle, move a muscle
Make a motion, make a motion, make a motion
Pull it tighter, pull it tighter, pull it tighter
Double beating, double beating, double beating
Double beating, double beating, double beating
Palpitation, palpitation, palpitation
Stay hungry, stay hungry, stay hungry

Here's that rhythm again
Here's my shoulder blade
Here's the sound I made
Here's the picture I saved
(Here I am)

Ground-breaking rock band Talking Heads is arguably one of the most influential bands of all time. Spearheaded by their slightly crazy lead singer David Byrne, they were at the forefront of the New Wave movement.

The band was formed in 1974 by Byrne and drummer Chris Frantz. Frantz’s then-girlfriend-later-wife Tina Weymouth was quickly recruited to play bass. After a few recordings and performances, guitarist/keyboardist Jerry Harrison was hired to round out the group.

Their first album, Talking 77, was appropriately released in 1977. It quickly received critical acclaim.
