Talking-Heads - Stop Making Sense

"Psycho Killer" Is A Song By Talking Heads From Their 1977 Album "Talking Heads 77" Written By David Byrne Chris Frantz And Tina Weymouth. The Band's "signature Debut Hit" Features Lyrics Which Seem To Represent The Thoughts Of A Serial Killer. AllMusic Calls It A "deceptively Funky New Wave/No Wave Song ... With An Insistent Rhythm And One Of The Most Memorable Driving Bass Lines In Rock & Roll." "Psycho Killer" Was The Only Song From The Album To Appear On The Billboard Charts Peaking At 92 Among Billboard Pop Singles. It Placed 32nd On The Triple J Hottest 100 In 1989. It Almost Made The Top Ten In The Netherlands Peaking At #11 In 1977. Lyrics According To The Preliminary Lyric Sheets Copied Onto The 2006 Remaster Of Talking Heads 77 The Song Started Off As A Semi-Narrative Of The Killer Actually Committing Murders. Byrne Has Said Of The Song When I Started Writing This I Got Help Later I Imagined Alice Cooper Doing A Randy Newman-Type Ballad. Both The Joker And Hannibal Lecter Were Much More Fascinating Than The Good Guys. Everybody Sort Of Roots For The Bad Guys In Movies. The Bridge Lyrics Are In French And Include The Prominent Chorus Line "Qu'est-Ce Que C'est ?" Which Translates In English To "What Is It?". The Rest Of The French Lyrics Are Ce Que J'ai Fait Ce Soir-Là
Ce Qu'elle A Dit Ce Soir-Là'
Réalisant Mon Espoir
Je Me Lance Vers La Gloire... OK What I Did That Evening
What She Said That Evening
Fulfilling My Hope
Headlong I Go For Glory... OK An Early Demo Version Of The Song Recorded At CBS Studios And Also Performed At CBGB Had Different Lyrics After The First Chorus Listen To Me Now I’ve Passed The Test
I Think I’m Cute I Think I’m The Best
Skirt Tight Don't Like That Style
Don’t Criticize What I Know Is Worthwhile Later Releases A Live Version Was Released On The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads In 1982. Two Years Later Another Live Version Was Included On The Soundtrack For Stop Making Sense The Band's 1984 Concert Movie. The Film Opens With Byrne Alone Onstage Announcing "'Hi. I've Got Tape I Want To Play'... And Strumming Maniacally Like Richie Havens" Playing An Acoustic Version Of "Psycho Killer" Backed Only By A Roland TR-808 Drum Machine Whose Sound Appears To Be Issuing From A Boom Box. The Drum Machine "fires" Machine Gun Riffs That Causes Byrne To Stagger "like Jean Paul Belmondo In The Final Minutes Of 'Breathless ' A Hero Succumbing Surprised To Violence That He'd Thought He Was Prepared For."
