Loved the references in "Genius of Love":
Clinton's musicians such as Bootsy Collins... Quite like Smokey, Smokey Robinson Wailin' and skankin' to Bob Marley Reggae's expanding with Sly an Robbie... Steppin' in a rhythm to a Kurtis Blow... Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon
James Brown, James Brown, James Brown, James Brown | |

I saw them last year at Central Park, NYC.
I met Chris & Tina in the Greenwich Village. I'm a HUGE Talking Heads fan. NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

Yeah, we used to do the dame thing, too. Playing Intellevision (BurgerTime and LadyBug) I also remember "Word's Work" (or something like that). THAT was a very cute-sy period in my life. Thanks for your replies

"Genius of Love" and "Wordy Rappinghood" are some of the most innovative, funky, catchy, irresistible songs ever. | |

Wordy Rappinghood and Genius Of Love
Can't remember if I knew "It's nasty (Genius of Love)"('82) by Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five earlier than the original by tomtomclub... Get sexy sex, get funky at... The ORANGE Park - Funky President, people, it's bad! |

"Genius of Love" is exactly that -
GENIUS. Phat, heavy bassline, slick, playful rhythm guitar.. & to think that this funk jam came from 2 members of Talking Heads! I'll see you tonight..
in ALL MY DREAMS.. |
