      I've always loved DB, but the rest of the band are no slouches either! Take Chris Frantz & Tina Weymouth--The Tom Tom Club, hello? That song, 'Genius of Love' WILL NOT DIE. And all their production work w/ The Marleys? I mean, come on!

    My ex husband's (now late) grandmother never saw a music video in her life. This one happened to be on MTV at that moment I saw her. Tears were in her eyes. This video made her so happy. Her husband was physically abusive and controlled her every move. The ONLY one she saw before she passed. I still think about it today. He wasn't in the room. She saw this in it's entirety. I cry because I gave her happiness. So did this video. Much love. Thank you for reading.

      I was sent to the Radcliffe in 2012,for an angiogram. There were banks of screens on either side of me so it was possible to see my heart and what they were doing in the procedure - only I crashed out asleep for most of it. I'd felt a bit nervous but they put me at ease and were very good to me all the way through. I was supposed to be collected and taken back to Milton Keynes Hospital,only between the two of them they forgot! So the Radcliffe put me up for the night in a good single room,like being in a 3 or 4 star hotel,with a nice view from several floors up over a leafy part of Oxford.

      Music is art. Art is subjective. What about this band makes them more original than any others? Your statement is an opinion with nothing to back it up. All musicians are influenced by someone else. What is deep and meaningful to you may mean absolutely nothing to someone else. There is no need to disparage or put someone else's favorite music down because it doesn't resonate with the same way with you as it does with them. To not realize or understand this is ignorance in it's purest form.

      @dread true My statement was made to the original post by GRADSKA BOY "The most original band of all time." and the conversation that followed. I was in a way actually defending what you said about the B-52's to Luka Baljkas' reply stating that B-52's songs are "gimmicks" or tricks. When clearly the B-52's mean more to you than they mean to Luka. I said "art is subjective." art is subjective to the person who experiences it. That is not an opinion. That is a truth. I was not being arrogant and I displayed no personal tastes for any music at all. I asked what makes them more original than any other band because I am curious.

    Funny thing.....I was always a big fan of the talking Heads, and knew their songs well. When my Mom died, amid all the sadness....someone said "She is...I mean, "She Was'. So This song, and video came to mind! Bizarre I know....But I looked at it, and it all seemed to fit a woman, that died and moved up and on, and out in all directions'...liberated of her old body and life, moving into so much exciting and new. It just made me feel good and Happy for her.....like her soul was happy, and letting us know as much. Weird Eh?

    Hey!
    And she was lying in the grass
    And she could hear the highway breathing
    And she could see a nearby factory
    She's making sure she is not dreaming
    See the lights of a neighbor's house
    Now she's starting to rise
    Take a minute to concentrate
    And she opens up her eyes
    The world was moving she was right there with it and she was
    The world was moving she was floating above it and she was
    And she was
    And she was drifting through the backyard
    And she was taking off her dress
    And she was moving very slowly
    Rising up above the earth
    Moving into the universe and she's
    Drifting this way and that
    Not touching the ground at all and she's
    Up above the yard
    The world was moving, she was right there with it and she was
    (Hey, hey)
    The world was moving, she was floating above it and she was
    (Hey, hey, hey)
    She was proud about it, no doubt about it
    She isn't sure about what she's done
    No time to think about what to tell him
    No time to think about what she's done and she was
    (Hey hey, hey hey, hey)
    And she was looking at herself
    And things were looking like a movie
    She had a pleasant elevation
    She's moving out in all directions oh, oh oh
    Hey, hey, hey
    Hey-hey, hey, hey
    Hey, hey, hey-hey hey!
    Hey, hey, hey
    Hey-hey, hey, hey
    Hey, hey, hey-hey hey!
    The world was moving, she was right there with it and she was
    (Hey, woo hoo)
    The world was moving, she was floating above it and she was
    (Hey, hey)
    Joining the world of missing persons and she was
    Missing enough to feel all right and she was
    And she was
    And she was
    And she was
    And she was
    And she was
    Hey!
    And she was!
    And she was
    And she was!
