One night after Kommotion had closed a bunch of us decided to keep the party going all night. It was hot and we'd had a few drinks. So there were six of us packed into a Mazda 323 I think it was called. We're in Richmond but one of the girls had to pick up some stuff from home before we kept going. So there were a group of happy campers burning down the Princess Highway to Noble Park. Which was miles away! Of course I made the long drive because I fancied a girl. But the tyranny of distance killed any romantic notions. I couldn't foresee myself driving all that way for a date because it would most likely incur the trip times 4. Anyway not a big Talking Heads fan at the time but I think it was the only record she had. I loved Once in A Lifetime though.
I got to like them a lot more later on and they released a killer greatest hits album.
A few years later and a mate of mine was DJing at Therapy in North Melbourne. I helped him put together a killer set list and included this song. It was great dancing to it. Therapy had a raised dancefloor. It was just so eighties. I used to go there a lot but only got thrown out once. Later on we took over the place and opened Kaos there but it wasn't very successful. About the only good thing to come of it was a Smiths special where I managed to score a set of the CDs
