I love Do You Wanna Hold Me, surprised that it did so well. Something about the song is so uplifting. The video is a trip. Looks like it was made for under 100 bucks.

Song background info: "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)" was the closing track and 2nd single from the American new wave band's 5th album Speaking in Tongues. The "Naive Melody" part of its title refers to the song's simplistic construction, being built around a sparse ostinato. This song's title served as the inspiration for the 2011 drama film This Must Be the Place in which the protagonist at one point attends a concert where David Byrne performs the song.

Only 3 of my top 10 in the top 20. And my #50 remains. Par for the course.

BTW to explain this Didn't catch the vileness of vers. 3. He says something about your husband wants to be a girl. The structure of the song (weird and bad things happen in your life, go to the familiar bar where you can talk to your normal friends) heavily implies that the listener is meant to hear this line as saying "you thought you were married to a cisgender man, but you've learned they are <gender non-conforming, or a transgender woman>? Heavens! How unnatural and disturbing! How could they do this to you? Amigo, you need an escape!" Which is...one of the worst reactions a person could have to that kind of news. Holy crap I understood you. Not only that but that "thank God" part he adds makes it sound even worse.
