As a big fan of Talking Heads, David Byrne, and everything else I had heard related to TH, I saw a used copy of this on sale for pocket change, and thought I should definitely pick it up. On the first couple listens, I was a little unsure about it . . . Seemed sort of weirdly disco-ish in some ways. But the more I listened, the more it grew on me, and it's now definitely one of my favorite albums. "Who Wants an Ugly Girl?" has a really catchy reggae-ish beat, "Daddy Come Home" features some really cool and creative instrumentals (bagpipes, etc.), "You Sexy Thing" is a very hip cover, and every single other song on the CD is also wonderfully fun and catchy. It seems like it just doesn't get old. I also discovered this is the BEST music I've ever listened to while exercising...So upbeat and energetic.

Tom Tom Club is a spin off from the Talking Heads, featuring Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz. This is the group's fourth CD. It is 57 minutes long and the sound quality is very good. For some reason, the Tom Tom Club is relatively unknown and their CD's are hard to find.

This is a great album. It is along the lines of what the Talking Heads were doing during the time of Stop Making Sense, especially the songs that featured Weymouth.

This is a collection of great dancable songs. There isn't a bad track on it. And even at 57 minutes, it never gets slow or boring. They do a wonderful version of You Sexy Thing.

This is their best album. The earlier albums are OK. I don't like their last album, The Good, The Bad and The Funky.
