[@officialFredDurstfanclub]

Was waiting for Chris to start screaming “JAMEEEEEESSS BROWN”

[@YAVETHable]

And it was dope

[@benjamineastman9950]

He did xD

[@1954mightymouse]

🤣

[@brianenders2098]

if you somehow have never heard Genius Of Love, this performance must seem insane

[@heitorvasconcelos8146]

We always run the risk of bumping on one of those loonies. Who havent heard it I mean.

[@richardbilger2334]

😂

[@johnayala5366]

Lol

[@christophercampbell1677]

Facts. 😂😂😂😂

[@macgraham4810]

I was thinking the same thing. But what a blast!

[@zororosario]

Beautiful music instruments and the players, ❤ Pure Joy.Thanks Cheers

[@eXiLe824]

I'm honestly impressed with how well Genius of Love works with their acoustic arrangement. The slinky pseudo gypsy-jazz guitar really adds to it

[@baberoot1998]

Tina is still so very beautiful. Those bass lines she came up with during her career...are nothing short of genius.

[@YAVETHable]

Genius of...Love?

[@nervousbreakdowns2135]

She is the genius of bass!

[@Morbid12]

She is a genius

[@argosafe]

Rubbish

[@al_alldaychriswilliams85rf16]

Talking Heads and the Tom Tom club always did funk their way and it still stays funky.

[@theolamp5312]

When the people making the music are having fun, it makes us listening have even more fun.

[@joelhixon]

I wish Tiny Desk Concerts would get back to this type of performance, it's a lot more fun with it totally stripped down to acoustic instruments than it is to just have a band play behind a desk

[@edwinromandotcom]

Tom Tom Club UNPLUGGED! Fantastic!

[@seandoyle6181]

Sweet

[@ravenphile]

Acoustic Genius of Love? Wow, this is pure genius! Thanks NPR music for Tiny Desk Concert and for turning me on to so much great new music.

[@s3hooligan]

Fantastic but I still wish that they could have brought in an upright bass……it was like eating a sandwich without the bread😂

[@antunivanovic]

People and their music worth living for on this troublesome planet. What a pleasure listening to this!

[@jasonharrington7521]

When you are operating at this high of a level, it's a situation where you just don't look down. This performance is more than we deserve. These people are floating, but you have to tune your eyes and ears to even notice.

[@moehammondmedia]

Tina looks like a quiet librarian but she is one of the most soulful most funky human being to ever walk the planet earth. They killed Genius Of Love! ❤️

[@darthanddedeu2580]

Seriously this has become my version.

[@dildonius]

It's crazy how many classic hip-hop songs sampled Genius of Lub.

[@lquinn7212]

Librarian? No way!

[@mrtulipeater]

Definitely would like some help in the map room. ❤️❤️

[@nancyhallatr]

Sexy librarian, maybe.

[@mrmcdougald1978]

HOW IN THE HELL DID I RUN ACROSS THIS HIPPIE FUNNKIE DOPE SESSION I LOVE IT

[@christopherward5065]

Refreshingly unique. Glad to see Frantz and Weymouth still applying a fresh lick to classic art!

[@mrmcdougald1978]

THAT GENIUS OF LOVE HAD ME ROCKING BACK AND FORTH

[@rivermundcatradora7061]

HAD US ALL

[@sebastianmelmoth9100]

What a great way to hear this awesome song ... and washboard reggae man is amazing

[@paulamiles9559]

Tina and Chris always show utmost respect for collaborators. All the band makes a perfect unit. Who needs to think when your feet just go.

[@giovanniciotti4100]

Adrian Belew might disagree.

[@SacVideo]

Still love you Tina, you're the reason why I took up Bass. Thank you all sooooooooo much for this! I was eleven years old bumping "Genius" on a generic type walkman heading to LA on a church group tour bus. "Wordy" takes me back to the partying we did at The Sea Ranch, CA when parents were out. Oh the memories!

[@RB-hz2ee]

Just puts a smile on your face

[@eddthewordsmith]

This is one of my favorite tiny desks up there with Mac, Tank & the Bangas, Tyler, Tash, etc. Can’t understand why it’s not broken a million views yet.

[@billder999]

You guys, I've been back to watch this Tiny Desk concert at least a dozen times, and I never do that! You are at your very best in pure acoustic small venue, I smile and laugh with joy watching you rock.

[@CliffsRiffs]

So happy that Julie and I were able to see Tom Tom Club live once in our lifetimes. Chris had a huge smile the entire time. Tina n the band kept it hopping in spite of very windy conditions. Their love of music was palpable.

[@boblatzer]

Art meets music. I love it! Keep rockin’ Tina and Chris and co.

[@dildonius]

Music is art. What?

[@DrJohn493]

More cowbell Chris! Please!! After all those wonderful years with Talking Heads, it was a thrill to see Tina step out front with Tom Tom Club. NPR Tiny Desk knows talent when they hear it!

[@Avemakk1]

Definitely a jam back in the day, and Genius of love. Genius of love was sampled soooo many times!

[@bernlin2000]

It's always going to make me sad that Talking Heads couldn't stay together, but I'm very glad everyone is still pursuing music 😄

[@nathanieldrake6658]

Gosh wish I’d seen this years ago when it was posted -I think I’d have grown to be happier person -this is so beautiful-gotta make up for the lost time :)

[@BoscoAlmeida]

Probably my most favourite Tiny Desk Concert

[@robertthrossell4321]

Absolutely fantastic, legends are Tina and Chris 👍

[@ericsquare]

The Best! I Love Tina & Chris! Such inspiration!

[@starshine1107]

Wow, they bring a bit of a flamenco touch to those first two numbers! It's wild to hear the acoustic guitar, accordion, washboard, hand clapping, and reggae scat--but strangely right. Love it!

[@pmzerbe]

Amazing! CBGB's is a great memory! So wonderful to see you here as well.....and better than ever!

[@searchindex3438]

I saw them in San Francisco…Tina didn’t want me to have the set list after the show -so she grabbed it and tore it up like confetti 😆

[@doricetimko5403]

I still can’t believe CBGBs is gone….

[@elsolitariogeorge1699]

Gracias Tom Tom Club por aquellos éxitos que nos hicieron vibrar de emoción, ahora solo nos queda recordar lo grandes que son. Saludos desde Ecuador.

[@tealorturquoise]

This is frickin' fantastic! I haven't heard these songs in decades upon decades upon decades!

[@Vishangro]

Chris's book brought me here. This is joyful!😀

[@dorotamarcinkiewicz3655]

Same here..

[@estebanmichel2138]

we all need that kind of music by now.... many thanks

[@wildechild5]

I love this 💜💜💜. I still have all my vinyls of them. I'm in heaven right now 💜💜💜.

[@weedaviec]

Love the accordion riffs! Great version guys.

[@otineb5]

I'm diggin' it big time. Keep swingin' Tom Tom Club.

[@kgbola]

[@hughcook6959]

Close. Susan and Derek are the coolest couple alive. Js

[@jorgealonzo8535]

Often come back to this video to experience the sheer joy they displaying their music.

[@ewetoo]

i love how they've integrated their favourite southern music genres into tom tom music, it's a more varied and vibrant palette now.

[@PhilRRMuller]

Thanks guys! This is lovely, made my day so much better!

[@Mettlervision]

This Is The Pirate Gypsy Version Of Tom Tom Club Abandoned On A Tropical Island!

[@kenharrison741]

No it is not. I’ve seen the pirate gypsy version and clearly there is no 8 year old backpack kid shown doing his backpack thing here is there? Not even going to mention the glaring absence of any short Asian business men handing out flyers for business cards for the deaf. Sheesh! Exactly what video were you watching 8 years ago?

[@zedell1233]

haha

[@djangolee1]

WOW Fantastic!...I've been a huge fan since the beginning...thank you

[@SAVORGNANIVAN]

Excelente propuesta performática trabajada desde el pequeño formato de banda, reducido a lo esencial. el ladrillo que hay al lado de Frantz, es muy cómico.-

[@3rty7]

its better than i expected.. they still got it.

[@nopants4259]

Tina has an amazing voice

[@FABCASTLE]

Best Tiny Desk concert EVER!!!!!

[@humphrysr]

Miss this stuff. These folks are seriously creative.

[@dognasty3]

[@richardthomas4471]

Joyful and beautiful and brilliant!

[@patrickhicks9880]

[@beaujaymes75]

I'm 9years too late...love this group

[@andyxeno]

Dude with the beard busting some sic moves daaaaaaaammmn

[@tigertruckerman]

Andyxeno oh christ aint he a mover, he just a blur

[@vetagainsttrump16]

I absolutely love this Genius Of Love version

[@daviddigital6887]

Sounds just like the studio version. That's pretty hard to do when artists get older. I loved these guys and the talking heads.

[@miltoncardoso2281]

Tina Weymouth rules!

[@user-sk7ok9gc9p]

I am here for this experience 😊

[@douglasbatley1907]

I ❤ the fact Tina did a song about me. I used to live in Brixton, my friend seen Tom Tom at The Beat Route nightclub. He said 👏 Amazing.

[@douglasbatley1907]

And I want one of those Darth Vader

[@FernandoBastos_arquiteto]

made ma day n night with that song repeating in ma ears

[@TerryJonesPrinterRepairs]

Wow 8 years old and I only just found this! Is that their son in the background looking like cmon mom and dad can you do this in private?

[@Kyle_heringer]

Soooooooooooooo cute to see my beloved Tina ❤❤

[@punkster36]

They sound so good unplugged

[@bernlin2000]

Sounding great, guys!!

[@jackcohen7778]

Very good... Excellent! Superstars 😊☺️🤗

[@l.reneecooper5839]

I enjoyed this so much!

[@brianwood9108]

Playing bass on the acoustic guitar

[@NOWtheband]

#fact

[@martynnash6904]

Bass guitars can be acoustic, what she's doing here is playing bass on a rhythm guitar.

[@timgallegos4856]

one of my favz, more please

[@wackyruss]

Le frottoir & accordion on the last song was straight up ZYDECO, sha! Et toi, like dat, comme-sa!

[@v.a.993]

I thoroughly enjoyed this.

[@1346crecy]

Imagine lift/ elevator doors open and this beautiful spectacle greets you.

[@watchstrap1]

how cool is that, love chris and tina ,

[@moshewakatelutiw6233]

I love this group. But also watching them do this acoustic piece for NPR reminds me when I was a street musician and the people I’d meet

[@danjones3176]

YES! This was awesome.

[@Boatlife1964]

Wow! This takes me back❤

[@MAXUTTONgtr]

wow! what a refreshing sound these guys have

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

My favorite part of this video are the three big little words on the body of the guitarist's guitar: "Love is deaf"!!!

[@dewdew34]

Didn't notice that. Something to ponder.

[@bluehealers]

So wonderful

[@andrelemeire5106]

Klasse Session !Kompliment!! Weiter so !😀😀😀

[@mauricewalteros1795]

TTC put a smile in my head :)
