sunday for everyone
It's Sunday morning here in this part of the universe and that suits me. I love Talking Heads and this song - Once In A Lifetime - reminds me of going to Croydon Flea Market on Sundays when I was a kid. I'd occasionally buy records and tapes there and although this is one song I loved, I never bought it. I can still remember hearing it over the speakers at the record stall
Don't look now, all you Sound of Musictragics fanatics LOVERS, but I think I'm converting... Uh oh how do you solve a problem...

Hi Nash
OMG (oops!) these two YouTubes were interesting. Was the first video Australian and something aliens wouldn’t understand? After watching the entire 3 minutes and 30 seconds, I’ve no idea what was going on. Perhaps its senility or dotage, but I didn’t get it. The visual effects were curious and a bit unusual.
Ah, “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?” Try putting a lid on the caterwauling and get on with your orisons. I apologize to anyone I offended with that comment.
Saturday night T.V. at it’s finest….
Hi Miss Litzi,
When I first heard this song I liked it so much because it was different to other music I heard growing up. I've added some links if you - or anyone else - is interested
My take on it is all about questioning the suburban dream
And for my Sunday School lesson I looked up "orisons". I'm such a heathen
It's still Saturday here.
Big David Byrne fan here. He is a PERFORMANCE ARTIST. He did the book The New Sins (2002 Sydney Festival?) Great Web site WITH a journal. Just what we all need, one more blog to read—and he's not even recovering from anything.
Happy wishes from the Saturday side of the world.

BTW. How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand? That movies at least 40 years old. Doesn't anybody know by now.

I had a couple of their albums, Talking Heads that is not the Von Trapp family singers. Ha ha, aren't I funny.
Hi Wayward Son, Yes David Byrne came here for the Sydney Festival. I'll have to check out his website
To hold a moonbeam in your hand you have to close your eyes
Ha ha Denys! Yes...
Hi Nash,
Thank you for the links; they helped explain the video. Despite the fact that senility is edging ever closer and I exist in a cave, I’ve heard of the “Talking Heads” and “Brian Eno”. Whoa! “Enlightenment”! “What’s the sound of one hand clapping?”
“My mind is alive with the sound of music”….crikey, I’m cracked. Yodel-lady-who?
You also have to keep your hands open otherwise the moonbeam will evaporate.
Talking Heads, Schmalking Heads, the Singing Nuns made my Sunday
Thanks for posting Once in a Lifetime. I haven't heard that in ages and I didn't know who it was by either. Nice start to my morning.
