The song was written byDavid Byrne, Brian Eno, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, and Tina Weymouth, and produced by Eno. It received critical acclaim, and was named one of the 100 most important American musical works of the 20th century by National Public Radio.[1] At the time of its original release, the song gained modest chart success, peaking at #14 on the UK Singles Chart[2] and at #31 in the Dutch singles chart.[3] While the song failed to chart on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, various American 80s format radio stations have come to programming it in their playlists over the years.[4] It was also an early MTV staple[5] and was one of the most heavily played videos upon MTV's debut in August 1981.[6] A live version of the song taken from Talking Heads' concert film Stop Making Sense was released as a single in 1984, peaking at #91 on the Billboard Hot 100.[7] The studio version is widely regarded as their signature song, along with "Burning Down the House".[citation needed] Kermit the Frog performed the song on a 1996 episode of Muppets Tonight. The song is featured in the films Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Rock Star, Hot Tub Time Machine and Reagan, and in trailers for the films The Family Man, W. and Wreck-It Ralph. The song is included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.[8]
