Thanks for the rundown, 'ringo. I suppose maybe I miss them when they're on at 4 or 5 a.m. :-p

I knew that TTC song had been played A TON. How is it that it gets played 15x since May, but an all-time CLASSIC like "Burning Down The House" is completely missing from the rotation? I don't get that.

OK, it took a while, but here are my notes on Talking Heads/Tom Tom Club from May 01 - July 30th.

Talking Heads haven't been on VH1 Classic a whole lot of times, but they are still represented on the channel. Even "True Stories" made an appearance on the R&R PICTURE SHOW a few days ago (07/28, 9PM).

[BTW, for any John Goodman fans, "King Ralph" was on cable earlier today.]

Meanwhile, back to the 'Heads, here's what's been on last few months:

Unfortunately, a second animated Tom Tom Club video, "Pleasure Of Love," has never, to my knowledge, aired on VH1 Classic. However, "Suboceana," a live action clip featuring Tina Weymouth looking like a jellyfish (or a sea anenome?) has made 2 appearances in the past 3 months:

Tom Tom Club: Suboceana / 06/23 120 MINUTES 3 AM
Tom Tom Club: Suboceana / 07/31 120 MINUTES 5 AM

In fairness, I should note that there was one day I missed video blocks because my cable screwed up during the night, so I lost 2 hours of 120 Minutes.

Hope this helps.

I actually got to catch "Road To Nowhere." What a surprise! The Heads live on VH1-Classic. :-)

They definitely should and perhaps since the movie, True Stories aired last evening they will start playing their videos.

Early Monday Morning (07/28) saw the return of the original version of "Once In A Lifetime." I have additional notes on this subject, but I can't access them now. Later in the week, I'll get 'em here.

I did not find any Talking Heads video; but I did find my ALL TIME favorite musician George P Funk Clinton 80s video Atomic Dog I got to see him for the first time in my life at the Atlanta Civic Center, in November 2007. It was da bomb -- The diaper dude was there, wearing a diaper. George was not dressed in regalia; however, he still got the FUNK!
