This was the result of lead singer David Byrne trying to write an Alice Cooper song, but it came out much more introspective. It ended up being about the thoughts of a murderer. Part of the chorus and the bridge are in French. The verse translates to \"What I did, that evening, what she said, that evening fulfilling my hope I throw myself towards glory.\" The chorus lyric \"Qu'est-ce que c'est?\" means \"What is this?\" The \"Fa Fa\" part comes from an Otis Redding song called \"Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song).\" Redding and other soul singers were a big influence on Talking Heads.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
