True Stories




So the othe day i was hang ing out with Zak, Macy and Magen, playing FIFA on Xbox, when we decided to watch a movie. While Zak, Magen and I were outside Macy picked this movie "True Stories" from 1986 with John Goodman also starring and directed by David Byrne, the lead singer of "Talking Heads". I never really listened to them really before but the entire soundtrack was by them, which was awesome. And then out of nowhere my mind was blown, one scene in the movie John Goodmans charecter is going into a club and a band is playing, the lead singer is singing a song with these lyrics:

Baby your mind is a radio
Got a reciever inside my head
Baby I'm tuned to your wavelength
Lemme tell you what it says:

Transmitter!
Oh! Picking up something good
Hey, radio head!
The sound...Of a brand-new world.

So look at my fingers vibrate
>From their tip down down to my toes
Now I'm recieving your signal
We're gonna leave the land of noise

Transmitter!
Oh! Picking up something good
Hey, radio head!
The sound...Of a brand-new world.

Transmitter!
Oh! Picking up something good
Hey, radio head!
The sound...Of a brand-new world.

Now you and I have no secrets
Now baby, lemme read your mind
I hear ev'rything you're thinking
You can't help the way you sound

Transmitter!
Picking up something good.
Hey! Radio head!
The sound...Of a brand-new world

Oh! Radio Head
Radio Head
Radio Head
Radio Head


Ya, i freaked out. This is totally where Radiohead got their name!
