The Tom-Tom Club was Tina Weymouth's solo project during her time with the Talking Heads. What you're seeing here is a clip from the Heads' concert film, "Stop Making Sense". David Byrne left the stage soTina could do her song with her arrangement. The brightly colored background you see is a projection of the Tom-Tom Club's first album cover. It's a great song, isn't it? The whole album is a lot of fun. :)
Agree, watch the whole of Stop Making Sense...
Not solo. It was her husband’s Chris Frantz’s too. He was he drummer for TH.
I'm pretty certain the audio has been changed from the original movie. I have that DVD and I've watched it dozens of times. The audio track in this video seems to have sections from the studio recording.
@@473mec This is the youtube version that doesn't get hit with the DMCA strike.
well said
Yes, this is the song Mariah sampled for Fantasy. It’s one of the most sampled songs in all of hip hop
Thank you so much. Couldn't remember the name of the Mariah song I heard this in.
Fantasy and one other song of hers
@@Joerotty You might be thinking of Heartbreaker because it does have similar 80's sounds but its a different sample from "Attack of the name game" by Stacy something.
This song has been sampled by everyone from Afrika Bambaataa to Ziggy Marley. It's sampled in 159 songs!
@@matthewdever2118 I think Tina and Chris made more money licensing the sample than anything they did with the Heads.
This is the Female bass player and drummer from The Talking Heads. This is the original!!
Tina Weymouth
@@39thala Saw the Talking Heads play at The Police Picnic in Toronto and Tina Weymouth was like 7 or 8 months pregnant.
As opposed to "the male base player" ?
Chris Frank, the drummer, is also the drummer in Talking Heads, and he and Tina Weymouth are married.
Yep, this is from Stop Making Sense. Tom Tom Club play a couple of tracks while David Byrne does a suit change!
This is the original. This was a side thing a couple members of the Talking Heads did.Love your Reaction!👍
This live show is literally Talking Heads without David Byrne. Check this video out and see if anyone looks familiar :D th-cam.com/video/jShMQw2H2cM/w-d-xo.html
@@mrsleep0000 Check out _this_ video.
th-cam.com/video/j_8s-MGxdLQ/w-d-xo.html
I don't think this is the _Stop Making Sense_ version. It's the video of that performance, but I don't think it's the same audio track.
It is FANTASY by Mariah Carey where she uses the Tom Tom Club's Genius of Love in her song.. And, yes, the Tom Tom Club are the original singers of this song; they wrote the song as well. Tina Weymouth, the lead singer & guitar player, is married to the drummer (Still) Chris Frantz. :-)
Immediately sampled by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five on their '82 hit "It's Nasty" - I believe (Genius of Love) was subtitled below the track's name. A big disco, skating rink, club hit at the time.
Since then it's been sampled by almost everyone. A classic groove!
About that bit where they say "Bohannon" over and over -- that's a shout out to legendary drummer Hamliton Bohannon who popularized the "four-on-the-floor" disco-dance rhythm of the 1970's. He passed away last month at the age of 78. RIP.
Thanks for the that nugget!👍🙌
Adrian Belew who worked for Frank Zappa and was in King Crimson plays guitar on this. That is hilarious to me.
Watch him play on the Remain In Light tour and you will stop laughing.
@@AlsatiagentAlready seen him... many times. He's an amazing player. One if the best. But I love that he's playing on a feel good, 80's funk hit. And he was making fun of Bob Dylan while wearing a dress on stage just a few years before. That's the funny part!
@@jkoff76 I saw him the club in Nashville where he was discovered by Frank Zappa. He was playing in a band called Sweetheart and they dressed in 1940's gangster clothes then the next time I saw him he was playing the Auditorium in Nashville what David Bowie a couple years later
WOW it makes me feel so old when young people are too young to know things you loved from your childhood
Wow....don't remind me. Everything has come full circle.
Genius of Love was released in 1981, Fantasy by Mariah was released in 1995. So Mariah sampled the tune from Tom Tom Club 14 years later.
Mariah Carey sampled "Genius of Love" for her song "Fantasy" in 1995. "Genius of Love" was recorded by Tina Weymouth and Chris Franz, the bass player and drummer of Talking Heads as a side project in between Talking Heads albums. They used the side project , The Tom Tom Club, as a means of exploring dance music. As a result, later Talking Heads recordings became more danceable and rhythm-based. Examples of this include "Burning Down The House" from 1983 and "(Nothing But) Flowers" from 1988.
This is absolutely an original, THE original, and is quite possibly THE most sampled song in history. If any piece of it reminds you of another song, it's because they sampled it from Tom Tom Club.
Drummer & base player were married back then and it’s the original. Everyone sampled this base line.😱😋DAMN IM OLD.😋😱
Manny Montoto still married
This was 82' maybe - in Germany clubs we rocked this jam and this is the Original !!
They are still married
As I recall from seeing a doc on TV, they were under pressure to get something recorded at the studios in the Bahamas. Martina, Lani and Laura Weymouth (Sisters) used to sing a similar song when they were younger, they started singing it and everyone started to jam. What do you do when you have half a song? Shout outs to Smokey Robinson, Sly and Robbie, Bootsie Collins, Bob Marley, Kurtis Blowm, Hamilton Bohannon, James Brown..
Genius... of Love.
Watching her move with that Bass onstage, and that soft little voice of hers...total spellcasting!
Stevie Nicks would be proud!
It's impossible to listen to this song and remain still, for damn sure!
LOL, love your reaction India! Yes they are the ORIGINALS.
So glad to find your reaction on Tom Tom Club, it was only today I stumbled upon this memory from many years ago, and have been playing their music for the last couple of hours. Though I am still a big fan of Talking Heads I never really got into this, so finding it again is a bit of a shock (a good one, not being tazed :P ), Tina was, and still is, brilliant, so much fun! Thank you India, made my afternoon so much brighter!
Tin Weymouth is a dope bass player
YUP!!!! 💯DOPE!!!!✅
James Brown, James Brooooownnn!
💜 Loved your reaction. Tom Tom Club was formed by Chris & Tina (husband & wife) from The Talking Heads. They cowrote this particular song with two other writers. It's definitely the original and has been sampled so many times.💜
1:16 The moment when synapses in your brain that have been dormant for many years are all of a sudden being reactivated again. AKA the "hold on, I know this one" flashback :) Feels great, doesn't it?
Great reaction, India! Tom Tom Club was a lot of fun, and as several folks have pointed out, they were also the rhythm section for Talking Heads (and a married couple!) long before and after this. They had another song that was a huge hit in the UK called "Wordy Rappinghood". I'd love to see you react to that one! The whole first album is great, but those are the only two significant hits.
Lyrically, apart from a few comments about a fictional ex who loves her deeply (and also did some time and shared cocaine with her), the song reads as a love letter to geniuses of Black Excellence in music. You picked up on the spoken "James Brown" refrain. The whispered "Bohannon! Bohannon! Bohannon! Bohannon!" bit is a reference to Disco producer Hamilton Bohannon. She also namedrops Kurtis Blow, Bootsy Collins, George Clinton, Smokey Robinson, Bob Marley, and Reggae super-producers, Sly & Robbie.
Tina Weymouth, Tom Tom Club, you will always be the coolest.
India, I am an old dude that LOVED this track when it first came out. It was an homage to Kurtis Blow and this album and Blondie helped bring rap beats to (white) pop music. I really enjoyed seeing your reaction, pretty much the same as mine was when I heard it the first time!
Wordy Rappinghood....get that one too India. One of My favorite song back in 1983...senior year...yeah such good memories
This came out in the Autumn that I entered my senior year of high school, 1981. It was THE jam, bar none. I was one of the lucky ones to score the extended mix (on vinyl, of course), as none of the area record stores were able keep it in stock because of the insane demand for it. Our basketball team did their pre-game warm-up while this blasted from some very large speakers set up in the gym. Aaahhhhhh.....precious memories!!
Tina Weymouth, Talking Heads bass player, and her husband, Talking Heads drummer Chris Franz, are Tom Tom Club. This is a studio recording that's super-imposed onto their live stage production in the concert film, Stop Making Sense. In the original live version, she doesn't sing/speak Japanese and the only electronic sound effects are from what the electric organs on the stage are producing. Also, they added a verse and cut some of the footage of Tina dancing with the back-up singers.
You need to just watch the Film “Stop Making Sense” by Talking Heads, you’ve already reacted to a few clips. You’ll love it!
David Fisher One of the best concerts I've ever seen. This was when MTV was cool and played videos. Even my mother jammed to this song! No shocker though, she bought me my first Prince album.
As far as I know, Tina Waymouth and the rest of the Talking Heads band created the Tom Tom Club as a way for David Byrne to take a break between sets. I had their first Cassette tape.
Sounds like Frankie Smith of Double Dutch Bus fame doing the scat lines.
Totally cool offshoot of The Talking Heads (or the David Byrne band as he thought of it🙄) . This is the original band that sang this song. As someone else pointed out, it has been sampled to death by damn near every Hip Hop and Rap artist. It is even in many movies. In the song she is saying Bohannon over and over. She is referring to Hamilton Bohannon, who was considered a leading figure of the Disco period. love your reactions. I can see you really love music and you have the ability to think critically about the lyrics and figure out what the artist is trying to say.
This was the studio track combined with live concert footage that doesn't quite match up. It happens a lot on TH-cam. Anyway, bassist and lead singer Tina Weymouth was the bassist for Talking Heads. The drummer was Chris Frantz, also from Talking Heads, and Tina's real-life "loving boyfriend".
Yes, this song was written by Adrian Belew, Chris Frantz, Steven Stanley and Tina Weymouth. Yes, this song is frequently sampled.
The audio was re-mixed to avoid a copyright strike.
Tom Tom Club was the bass player Tina Weymouth and drummer Chris Frantz. They got married and are still together in 2020. Their baby inspired "Stay Up Late."
She name drops Bootsy Collins.
And Curtis Blow
And Sly and Robbie, and Hamilton Bohannon
And Smokey Robinson
And Bob Marley and James Brown
and Hamilton Bohannon
This is the studio version dubbed over the footage from the Stop Making Sense movie.
This is the original the Tom Tom club was made up from two members of Talking Heads. Awesome song! Everyone has sampled it.
First heard this in 82. New Wave...
crimp creep me too for me back in junior high
How much fun was that?!?!?! Loved your reaction... as usual! Keep up the fun and great work!
The video is from Talking Heads Stop Making Sense but it sounds like it’s been overdubbed with the original studio version of the song. They performed as Tom Tom Club while David Byrne was in the back getting changed into his giant suit.
That whole concert is so awesome and fun. One of the best shows ever.
John Call I totally agree. It’s one of my favorite concert films.
Saw them once in concert. So much fun, everyone was dancing.
Same. Such positive energy in the audience.
Me too! Much Fun!!😎
God this song goes back, listening to my favorite college radio station back when i was just out of high school in 1981. Yeah, it's that old, and yet still listened to. I find it great that people hear this song and suddenly know it without having heard it before, it's been used by so many people.
Loved this song as a young teen. Love all your work ❤️ keep those videos coming we’re having fun with you!
Try reacting to Deee-Lite - "Groove Is In The Heart"
Yep😍
This is a timeless groove from High school , the original and been sample by lots of people . Love your reactions 👍🏽
I L9ve you !! You were on of my first i watched and 1st ever liked and subscribed!!! You are / have been spot on, Picking the best songs ever made for all us 45 and UP! WE ARE THE WORLD. Welcome to beginnings! Moments in LOVE. Art of Noise!
I adore you India. I follow four reactors , you were the first. Your energy is way up lately! Life is going well I hope ! Yeah. MARIAH used the baseline for Fantasy.
Yes!!! Tina is IMPRESSIVE! SO glad you reacted to this one
Yes definitely they are the originals of this song it’s a classic
Tom Tom Club is Chris and Tina from the Talking Heads. Great musicians and intelligent people as well. Genius of love has been sampled 158 times according to whosampled.com. Mariah was the first to sample it on her hit Fantasy back in 1995. Another one u should listen to is Wordy Rappinghood. TY
Chris and Tina.
Grandmaster Flash and the furious five sample this in 1982 for the song it’s nasty
@@blitztim6416 shit man i must have been very tired when i wrote that lol
@@rickclark8657 u right my mistake. And the worst thing is that i have the single lol
@@sierraromeoromeo2444 never heard it!!!!! I like it!! Ty for the info!!!
Their other big track Wordy Rappinghood check it out !
Love your reaction to this song (as well as your other reactions)! Yes, these guys were the original singers of this song. They have some serious grooves!
I have heard this song so many times over the years. Never seen any kind of video for it. That was a lot of fun.
They are the original singers. You probably heard it before because Grand Master Flash sampled it on the song " its nasty" and Mariah Carey sampled it on a few of her songs as well.
This is a live performance but it's studio audio. They made a ton of money with this song since everyone started sampling it. Tina's sisters are doing the female background vocals.
The video is from the movie Stop Making Sense. I think you have done three other videos from that concert. You must do 'Burning Down The House'.
This is not the live version though, somebody took the recording and placed it over the live footage, the biggest give away is when Chris (the drummer) is seen singing in his microphone and you don't hear his voice.
There's a woman who works in my office called Jane Brown. I don't know her, but I see her name sometimes, and every time I do I think of this song.
haaaa youre showing your youngness on this💗this was a big radio hit on the soul station when i was new
That song came out in the early 1980's and Mariah Carey sampled the song during the mid 1990's.
Thank you India. You're right. This has been sampled many times, but they are the original. Love it.
Fantasy by Mariah Carey
Return of the Mack by Mark Morrison
It's Nasty (Genius of Love) by Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five
And many covers.
Girl you just took me back to senior year and cruising the parties on Friday and Saturday. 70s and 80s was some great music. You are right on Mariah did a cover or this sing.
bronx, NY 1981 or 82, I was like 11 or 12 yrs old, used my allowance to buy this 45 record (first one i ever bought) and drove my family CRAZY as i played it in the ground, lol!
This song has an awesome animated video but it’s been blocked.
Now you see why those of us that grew up through the 80s say it was the best era for all genre's of music.
I just want to say what I think is cool as hell is that black american musicians inspired British rock bands like the beatles and the who, who then inspired George Clinton with Parliament-Funkadelic, and the wider afro-futurism movement, who inspired the Talking Heads (who also toured with members of p-funk) and the Tom-Tom Club being an off shoot of the talking heads going on to produce one of the most sampled tracks in hip-hop and rap history. Amazing, so much brilliant music we've seen because of it!
I remember the long version of this back in the early 80s....seemed like it was 15 minutes long! And always was a skating ring jam!!!
The most recognized unknown song of all time.
Yup, original singers. 1981 was jr. high for me, and my best friend's older teen sister played this from her low-rider.
The other song I liked on this album was "L'éléphant"
Hope you one day watch this concert, one of the best ever made/filmed. It set the bar on how concerts were filmed. Plus the actual audio to it is so much better then this overdub.
Tom Tom Club are the originals of this song…they are also members of another band called The Talking Heads.
Fun fact: the Tom Tom Club aka Talking Heads Drummer and Bassist played drums and bass on the first Gorillaz album
the footage is from the Talking Heads film Stop Making sense, were the tom tom club song is performed right after once in a lifetime .
TINA IS KILLING THAT BASS!! Alex Weir is on the rhythm guitar. He is cuz & from the group: Brothers Johnson. Song came out just B4 Thanksgivin that yr.
Yes my dear friend they are the original ones how sing beautiful song and you can take this song to any disco club's and people will get up and dance the night away 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
Yes as others pointed out this is the original from back in 1981 that others sampled from. You might like to check out the rest of the album if you get a chance someday.
Yes this was the original artist. The 1st one that sample this was the hip hop group Grand Master Flash & the Furious 5 with the song call It's Nasty in 1981
What you gonna do when you get out of jail? I'm gonna have some fun
What do you consider fun? Fun, natural fun ...😂
love Wording Rappinhood by them
I think the live version from the Stop Making Sense DVD is in order. You'll get all the goods.
The percussionist, Steve Scales, had a cameo in the movie Something Wild, with Jeff Daniels and Melanie Griffith. He played the cashier at the gas station/souvenir shop. That movie featured some David Byrne (Talking Heads) music. The clip: th-cam.com/video/nIuuhtJM_Dw/w-d-xo.html
Love it when you are so excited!
The unique Funky Music is from Synth player of Parliament/Funkadelic's Bernie Worrell. He created music for hit FLASHLIGHT. 2 ladies R from the same group as Bernie.
Yes. The original. The best concert ever: Stop Making Sense. And you get this wonderful surprise. Tina awesome bass player. Had massive crush back in the day. See the whole concert and grow. Then watch David Byrne's American Utopia.
80's music is amazing! I get to listen to so many great songs because my Dad was A D.J in the 80's/90's and he's always playing gems like this one. "Pleasure of Love" is another good song by Tom Tom Club
More energetic version in Talking Heads' movie "Stop Making Sense"
This is the clip from Stop Making Sense, dude.
@@Serai3 This is the Stop Making Sense video, paired with the LP version of the song. Which I actually like, because I don't think that in this performance that the Tom Tom Club were up to the level of the rest of the Talking Heads songs in the concert/movie. But I love the Tom Tom Club.
Maestra, gracias por reaccionar a éste vídeo.
This entire album rocks! I think you'd love listening to all of it! Please react to their song, on this album, but a live version, of "Wordy Rappinghood."
You always put a smile on my face!
Xclan sampled this
Pleasure of Love! Proper end-era 80s electro
This is The ORIGINAL These guys came 1st. I was a DJ back then i loved spinning this one,, it was waaaaay before any of the other artists that you mentioned.
Got to see them in a pretty small night club in Philly ... Read the lyrics along with it ...Its all about the great R&B singers SMOKEY , JAMES BROWN , BOHANAN, BOOTSY COLLINS ...Even Bob Marley and Sly and Robbie ...Etc Everyone she mentions are AMAZING ! That would be fun, do a song by everyone she mentions !
This is the live concert footage overdubbed with the original studio version. THe drummer/founder of the group is actually pretty cheesy on the live track. It's kind of amusing to hear the live track of this song.Hilarious frog dance by Tina in the middle of the song.
Bohannon Bohannon love his music
sweaty disco
Hip Hop Artists jumped on this groove IMMEDIATELY.
Grandmaster Flash & Furious 5- "It's Nasty" and
Jekyll & Hyde-"Genius Rap".
TOM TOM CLUB is basically Talking Heads minus David Byrne, even the backing singers worked with Talking Heads.
Whereas Byrne went with more Afican rythmn influences, you can hear the TOM TOM Club went with a more technological sound
This shit could be blasted at any BBQ, block party, cookout, in any neighborhood, and people would get down.
This is the same concert movie, _Stop Making Sense,_ that you've reacted to a couple of times already for Talking Heads. They did some of their side projects in the same show. There's also a David Byrne solo song in it as well, _What a Day That Was._ I know people keep on telling you it's the best concert film ever, but it really is.
Right when she sings "There's no Beginning and there is no End...", you throw up them 6's.
Then i just noticed your shirt.
DAMN, who HASNT been corrupted?
😭😭
