Lyrics
Watch out you might get what youre after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
Im an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight wait till the partys over
Hold tight were in for nasty w ...More eather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
Heres your ticket pack your back: time for jumpin overboard
The transportations here
Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are
Fightin fire with fire
All wet hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house
It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonne come in first place
People on their way to work baby what did you expect
Gonna burst into flame
My house sout of the ordinary
Thats might dont want to hurt nobody
Something sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house
No visible means of support and you have not seen nothing yet
Everythings stuck together
I dont know what you expect starring into the tv set
Fighting fire with fire
"Burning Down the House" is a 1983 song by Talking Heads, from their album Speaking in Tongues. It became one of their more popular songs, reaching #9 on the US Charts in the year of its release. Chris Frantz thought of the titular chorus after seeing a Parliament-Funkadelic show where the crowd chanted "Burn down the house."
The initial lyrics were considerably different, however. In an interview on NPR's "All Things Considered" aired on December 2, 1984, David Byrne played excerpts of early worktapes showing how the song had evolved from an instrumental jam by Tina Weymouth (bass) and Chris Frantz (drums). Once the whole band had reworked the groove into something resembling the final recording, Byrne began chanting and singing nonsense syllables over the music until he had arrived at phrasing that fit with the rhythms-- a technique influenced by former Talking Heads producer Brian Eno-- "and then I [would] just write words to fit that phrasing... I'd have loads and loads of phrases collected that I thought thematically had something to do with one another, and I'd pick from those."
According to Byrne in the NPR interview, phrases he tried but ultimately didn't use in the song's recorded "verses" included "I have another body," "Pick it up by the handle," "You travel with a double," and "I'm still under construction." As for the title phrase in the chorus, one early attempt (as heard on a worktape) had him singing a different line, "What are we gonna do?", and at another point in the process, "instead of chanting 'Burning Down the House,' I was chanting 'Foam Rubber, USA.'"
After the September 11, 2001 attacks, "Burning Down the House" was one of the songs put on Clear Channel's list of possibly inappropriate songs.

~ Kaddi und Koko auf der Osterwiese
Views: 7782 |  |  |  |  | Was macht der Bremer, um die Wiederauferstehung von Jesus zu feiern? Er fährt Karussel, bis ihm schlecht wird. Und das vorzugsweise auf der Osterwiese, einem jährlichen Jahrmarkt (und eigentlich nur ein Ableger des bedeutend größeren Freimarktes am selben ...More Ort im Herbst).
Wir haben uns gedacht, man sollte wieder etwas von dem wahren Geist des Osterfestes in dieses Event bringen und haben Kathrin und Korinna losgeschickt, Eier verstecken. In Karussels, Autoscootern, Kinderwagen und den Kapuzen von Leuten, die gerade nicht gucken und so. Und Helium atmen!

~ Orchard Greyhound Sanctuary Ireland
Views: 1983 |  |  |  |  | Here is some random video I shot around the Greyhound rescue in Offaly. The music is Tom Jones' covering 'Burning Down The House' with The Cardigans and Stoned In Love. I wanted to keep it simple to showcase the hounds. There are usually 15+ dogs on the p ...More roperty at any given time. The hounds in this video are a Sloughi, an Irish Wolfhound, a couple of lurchers(Greyhound crosses), and several Greyhounds of course. Orchard Greyhound Sanctuary specializes in taking in worst case scenario sighthounds of all sorts. Many are nearly dead, or even written off by local shelters before they are nursed back to health at The Sanctuary.
You can find your local rescues on the internet easily by searching for Greyhound Rescue. Thousands of these dogs are bred each year, and thousands need new homes before they are abandoned or put to death. Your local rescue would appreciate any assistance you could offer. |
