Talking Heads = overrated by critics

Was this also featured in a teen comedy?

I loathe their later stuff so much that it's kind of ruined everything for me. That idiotic "Up All Night" song was the last straw.

Love it. Brilliant song and video, it is truly addictive.

I can and have listened to it on a loop many times.

I think Tina looked kinda stylish in that old school dame outfit.

I could never figure out which of the "singers" was someone famous or someone playing someone famous. And who they were supposed to be playing.

This is the Wild Life song that went with a teen comedy. It took me several days to work that out.

OP From the film, True Stories.

True Stories (1986), the album this song comes on, was the first CD I bought that I didn't own the LP version of. I played it incessantly on my new no-turntable stereo.

I don’t like them much but I love this song.

Wailing Souls did a reggae cover version of "Wild Wild Life" for the soundtrack in the 1993 comedy film "Cool Runnings" (loosely based on the Jamaican bobsled team).
