DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT-Talking Heads cover by oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

talking heads did this on the old grey whistle test in 1978.

i did this in the cupboard under the stairs with barely enough room for my guitar, was also very very drunk, background noise includes eastenders and pc fan. this one was a struggle.

don't worry about the government

You are a driven man, Jim, get it done in spite of everything.

And you get the result, nicely performed.  You are a natural.  In spite of everything

I'm going to write a song called,,,,The guy under the stair with you as my inspiration (that a promise)
It's great how you wedge yourself in there and all family life goes on around you like it's the norm to have someone singing under the stair lol.
You always come up with the goods in one form or another james.

One of my favorite Talking Heads songs - nice work on this, James. I'm digging the more contemplative tempo and those major seventh chords.
