    "comment": "The ululating vocal is by the Lebanese singer Dunya Yunis, sampled from the Tangent Records album \"The Human Voice in the World of Islam.\"\n--\nDavid Byrne and Brian Eno play most of the instruments: guitars, bass, synthesizers, piano, drums, percussion, and assorted found objects. (In the 2006 reissue liner notes, Byrne listed some of the found objects as a cardboard box used as a kick drum and a frying pan used as a snare.) The drum kit is played by Talking Heads drummer Chris Frantz. Busta Cherry Jones plays the loud slap funk bass. David van Tieghem plays additional drums and percussion.",
