[Verse 1]
I wanna bicycle
I wanna popsicle
I wanna space face
Buy me a cherry face now

[Chorus 1]
Hey now, hey now!
Hey now now!
Hey now, hey now!
Hey now now!

[Verse 2]
I wanna video
I wanna rock and roll
Take me to the shopping mall
Buy me a rubber ball now

[Chorus 1]
Hey now, hey now!
Hey now now!
Hey now, hey now!
Hey now now!

[Verse 3]
Every night sun goes down
And the people are staying at home
You can tell your momma & daddy
Leave those children alone

[Chorus 2]
They know what they're doin'
They ain't runnin' away
Uncle John said, "Tell Aunt Mary
I got nothing to say"
(And she say:)

[Chorus 1]
Hey now, hey now!
Hey now now!
Hey now, hey now!
Hey now now!

[Chorus 3]
Ho
Would the light come hitcha in the eye
Hey
Gonna stop, gonna getcha by surprise!

[Verse 4]
Every night when the sun goes down
And the people are staying at home
You can tell your momma & daddy
Leave those children alone

[Chorus 2]
They know what they're doin'
They ain't runnin' away
Uncle John said, "Tell Aunt Mary
I got nothing to say"
(And she say:)

[Chorus 1]
Hey now, hey now!
Hey now now!
Hey now, hey now!
Hey now now!

[Chorus 3]
Ho
Would the light come hitcha in the eye
Hey
Gonna stop, gonna getcha by surprise!

[Verse 5]
I am the king of the world
The boss of the boys & girls
You can live 'till 110
If you listen to what I said

[Chorus 1][x3]
Hey now, hey now!
Hey now now!
Hey now, hey now!
Hey now now!

Talking Heads

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.
