There is water... at the bottom of the ocean!

A great performance of one of the greatest songs of the 80's.  You may ask yourself, am I right, am I wrong?  You'd be asking about the song "Once in a Lifetime," by the Talking Heads.  This is a version from one of the most amazing films ever made, and certainly one of the greatest of concert films, "Stop Making Sense,"  which should be watched on a big screen with great sound behind it.   Between the brilliance of the Heads and Jonathan Demme capturing so much of the power of that concert, it really is a superb film, front to back.  Heck,  even Pauline Kael and Robert Christgau liked it, and they made their reputations on despising almost anything normal people liked!   For now,  sing along like nobody is listening.  You can even do that hand chopping thing as David Byrne does it.
