So, apparently, "Dog Eat Dog" off Weird Al's album "Polka Party" is basically all about mocking the Talking Heads's style.

The Weird Al Effect? I suppose thats the closest thing we've got. (WARNING: tvtropes will ruin your life. Do not click on that link if you have things to do today.) But yes. Funny how all it takes is an album for a random Al song to go from being "meh, whatever" to being absolutely *wonderful*!

Is there a tvtropes article on the tvtropes effect? I wonder what it would link to.

Also: wait a minute, are you implying that you are unfamiliar with the Talking Heads?!

Listen to this first, it's my favorite: http://www.mediafire.com/?fzyqn20zkcd

Listen to this next, almost every song is better live than in the studio: http://www.mediafire.com/?a520m5dfyfg

See the "Stop Making Sense" movie.

Call me when you're done.

Oh wait, forcing people to engage with the things I like doesn't dispose them positively towards the material, right? Um. Oops. Ok, take a listen to the album in the first link, and tell me whether you enjoy it. Just put it on in the background. It's danceable and fun without being poppy; the rhythms are fascinating, and the lyrics have a sort of paranoiac power. It's probably one of the best albums ever made by a person.
