Hey, human beings are so cool... we should give ourselves a pat on the back! We've got opposable thumbs! And when our ears hear this tune, our legs go up and down in a strange marching dance. Neat!

This is what happens when you set up a 10 foot screen, 200W PA and then play Talking Heads' 'Stop Making Sense' concert DVD to Chris.

people in cities, people in country
people move from town to town
they always look so pleased with themselves
because they never let each other down

hey hey baby, you don’t have to show off
you just have to show up
it’s cheap and it’s cheerful and i’ve had an earful
just about had enough

most of them can do really neat stuff
they’ve got opposable thumbs
they play the drums or program computers
then take a walk in the sun

hey hey baby, you don’t have to show off
you just have to show up
it’s cheap and it’s cheerful and i’ve had an earful
just about had enough

hey baby, you don’t have to show off, just show your pretty face
the corner store doesn’t have my cereal and that is always the case

greyhound buses, they chase big rabbits
across the united states
holy moses, begging for money
to play the jukebox again

hey hey baby, you don’t have to show off
you just have to show up
it’s cheap and it’s cheerful and i’ve had an earful
just about had enough

i think i’m gonna throw up
so draw a line under this song
with your indelible pen
