Talking Heads

Talking Heads are a new wave band primarily popular in the seventies and eighties, noted for their weirdness definitive of the genre as it was in the seventies. They are one of the "Big Three" of new wave along with Devo and The B-52's. They had several hit singles and bestselling albums. They were noted for their "big suit" video. They were parodied by Weird Al Yankovic in his song Dog Eat Dog, especially the song And She Was. Their album Radio Head was the inspiration for the name of indie band Radiohead. There is a sketch on the iconic PBS childrens program Sesame Street based on the style of Talking Heads known as Wet Paint. The big suit video was referenced in an episode of the Nicktoon Doug.
