    Song Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    I'm wearing-a fur pajamas
    I ride a hot potato
    It's tickling my fancy
    Speak up, I can't hear you
    [Chorus]
    Here on this mountaintop, oh-oh-oh
    I got some wild, wild life
    I got some news to tell you, oh-oh
    About some wild, wild life
    Here come the doctor in charge, oh-oh-oh
    She's got some wild, wild life
    Ain't that the way you like it, oh-oh?
    Living wild, wild life
    [Verse 2]
    I'll wrestle with your conscience
    You wrestle with your partner
    Sitting on a windowsill
    But he spends his time behind closed doors
    [Chorus]
    So check out mister businessman, oh-oh-oh
    He bought some wild, wild life
    On the way to the stock exchange, oh-oh-oh
    He got some wild, wild life
    Pick it up when he opens the door, oh-oh-oh
    He doing wild, wild life
    I know it's the way you like it, oh-oh
    Living wild, wild
    [Verse 3]
    Peace of mind
    It's a piece of cake
    Thought control
    You get on board any time you like
    Like sitting on pins and needles
    Things fall apart
    It's scientific
    [Chorus]
    Sleeping on the Interstate, oh-oh-oh
    Getting wild, wild life
    Checking in and checking out, oh-oh-oh
    I got 'em, wild, wild life
    Spending all of my money and time, oh-oh-oh
    On too much wild, wild life
    We wanna go and we go where we go, oh-oh-oh
    Ah, doing wild, wild life
    I know it, that's how we start, oh-oh-oh
    Got some wild, wild life
    Take a picture here in the daylight, oh-oh
    And it's a wild, wild life
    You've grown so tall, you've grown so fast, oh-oh-oh
    Wild, wild
    And I know that's the way you like it, oh-oh
    Living wild, wild, wild, wild life

    The black dude singing with the hat at the end is MY DAD!!!! I was supposed to be in this movie performing that part as a young karate kid character. When it came time to for me to film, I froze and got scared so they asked my dad (who had his own band at the time) to do it instead. Don't believe me? IDGAF!! That's my father and his name is Frank Beaty!!!!

      @@chiefscheider I don't remember honestly.....I know we met him because it was originally supposed to be me who play that part but I was too scared to do it so my dad filled in and I can remember shaking his hand and that he was a nice guy but that's about it..... We met John Goodman and I can tell you that he was a jerk LMAO he wasn't friendly at all and told racist jokes pretty much the whole time we were there LMAO of course this was at the beginning of his career so I'm sure he's a much different, more grown up person now LOL I remember meeting him because we spent a lot more time with him then we did with David Byrnes. David Byrne if I recall correctly came in and shook everybody's hand and then left pretty much but we spent the entire day around John Goodman.

      But that’s just it: David Byrne is not “weird” or trying to be . . . you are witnessing unrestricted genius. There are those who try to harness WEIRD for affect. Salvador Dali, Byrne, Nina Hagen, Timothy Leary, etc. were just doing their thing: they never for one minute thought of themselves as weird.

      I was in a band called Rick Berlin- The Movie. Rick was signed to Epic in the seventies with Orchestra Luna, They often played CBGB's, where the Talking Heads opened for them. Later they had Karla DeVito, whom Jim Steinman stole for Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell. Anyway, Rick said that David Byrne did a lot of acid, and "boy , was he weird". I always think of that, because they were all weird then. It's on CZcams. We were more commercial but less successful, oh well, I wasin the Karla DeVito spot, it was crazy fun, Rick still does gigs in Boston. We were on Mtv at least, witha song called People Live, witha Baptist choir. Im in the white dress. Easier to find under Steven Paul Perry, Good old 80's!!

    2. EDIT: Appareny that IS Meatloaf! Also, the guy with long hair and a thin mustache is Tito Larriva, an actor and singer who was also in From Dusk Till Dawn and other Robert Rodriguez movies
    3. True Stories is a great movie and inspired the name of the band Radiohead

    Not sure if this was mentioned, but Talking Heads drummer Chris Frantz played the Ozzy Osbourne character, the Hank Williams-style country-and-western singer and the sports fan with WILD WILD LIFE on his baseball cap.

    I started listening to Talking Heads today, and I’m falling through their rabbit hole.
    I should’ve listened to them sooner. Their videos are somehow nostalgic and timeless at the same time.

    Música gostosa de ouvir, sem dizer que lembro muito da minha adolescência.
    Saudades.

    When this song first came out I thought the title was "Wild Wild Rice".

    Release date 1986: you just had to be there.

    I finally saw True Stories the other day. I’ve never had a movie convey happy feelings and positivity better than that movie. You can’t help but feel like maybe it’s not such a bad thing to be human after all.
