Psycho Killer - Musica

I Talking Heads Sono Stati Un Gruppo Musicale Anglo-Americano Di “avanguardia-Pop” Con Forti Sperimentazioni In Campi Come Il Funk Il Post-Punk Il Punk Rock E La World Music Formatisi A New York Nel 1974 E Attivi Fino Al 1991. Guidati Da Colui Che È Forse L’emblema Dell’approccio Avanguardistico Alla Musica Pop David Byrne I Talking Heads Si Ricordano Per Una Discografia Ed In Generale Una Proposta Artistica Caratterizzata Da Un’ecletticità Spinta Ad Estrosi Eccessi E Per I Concerti Dal Vivo Dalla Grandissima Carica Emotiva Orchestrale E Dall’inusitato Impatto Sonoro E Scenico Live Puntualmente Ed Inevitabilmente Documentati Da Diversi Supporti In Diverse Occasioni. Cresciuti Nella New York Degli Anni Settanta Ne Hanno Vissuto E Assimilato I Fermenti. Il Periodo Era Quello Di Andy Warhol E Delle Nuove Avanguardie Nelle Arti Visuali E Grafiche. Dopo Aver Frequentato Un Istituto D’arte Byrne Fonda Il Gruppo Con Chris Franz Un Suo Compagno Di Corso E Assoldando Tina Weymouth Bassista E Jerry Harrison Chitarrista . La Formazione È Rimasta Sostanzialmente Invariata Fino Allo Scioglimento. I Primi Due Album Sono Molto Simili E Propongono Una Stile Molto Originale Fatto Di Canzoni Brevi E Fresche Tra Cui Spiccano I Due Pezzi Piú Famosi «Psycho Killer» E «Take Me To The River». Il Terzo Album Fear Of Music È Un Po’ Piú Cupo Ma Sempre Coinvolgente E Con Qualche Concessione Al Funky. Iniziano Anche Le Collaborazioni Illustri Qui Con Brian Eno. Col Quarto Album Remain In Light Si Compie Una Svolta Significativa Verso Un Funky Molto Ritmato Dove Le Percussioni Sono Ossessive E Il Ritmo È Velocissimo. Significativo Il Pezzo «Once In A Lifetime». Dal Quinto In Poi Entrano Elementi Di Musica Etnica E Il Sound Si Fa Meno Rock Ma Sempre Estremamente Originale. David Byrne Inizia Anche Un Percorso Di Ricerca Che Lo Porta A Lavorare Con Artisti Brasiliani Con Brian Eno Ancora E Con Altri. I Talking Heads Non Hanno Lasciato Una Scuola O Eredi Forse Perché Troppo Eclettici E Fuori Dalle Convenzioni. Alcuni Gli Rimproverano Una Musica Troppo Cerebrale E “complicata”. Di Certo Sono Stati Un Gruppo Significativo Nella Storia Della Musica Leggera. Da Una Canzone Dei Talking Heads Deriva Il Nome Del Complesso Inglese Radiohead. read less

"Psycho Killer" is a song by Talking Heads from their 1977 album "Talking Heads: 77", written by David Byrne, Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth. The band's "signature debut hit" features lyrics which seem to represent the thoughts of a serial killer. AllMusic calls it a "deceptively funky New Wave/No Wave song ... [with] an insistent rhythm, and one of the most memorable, driving bass lines in rock & roll." "Psycho Killer" was the only song from the album to appear on the Billboard charts, peaking at 92 among Billboard Pop Singles. It placed 32nd on the Triple J Hottest 100 in 1989. It almost made the top ten in the Netherlands, peaking at #11 in 1977. Lyrics According to the preliminary lyric sheets copied onto the 2006 remaster of Talking Heads: 77, the song started off as a semi-narrative of the killer actually committing murders. Byrne has said of the song: When I started writing this (I got help later), I imagined Alice Cooper doing a Randy Newman-type ballad. Both the Joker and Hannibal Lecter were much more fascinating than the good guys. Everybody sort of roots for the bad guys in movies. The bridge lyrics are in French and include the prominent chorus line, "Qu'est-ce que c'est ?", which translates in English to "What is it?". The rest of the French lyrics are: Ce que j'ai fait ce soir-là Ce qu'elle a dit ce soir-là' Réalisant mon espoir Je me lance vers la gloire... OK What I did, that evening What she said, that evening Fulfilling my hope Headlong I go for glory... OK An early demo version of the song, recorded at CBS Studios, and also performed at CBGB had different lyrics after the first chorus: Listen to me, now I’ve passed the test I think I’m cute, I think I’m the best Skirt tight, don't like that style Don’t criticize what I know is worthwhile Later releases A live version was released on The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads in 1982. Two years later, another live version was included on the soundtrack for Stop Making Sense, the band's 1984 concert movie. The film opens with Byrne alone onstage, announcing "'Hi. I've got tape I want to play'...[and] strumming maniacally like Richie Havens", playing an acoustic version of "Psycho Killer", backed only by a Roland TR-808 drum machine whose sound appears to be issuing from a boom box. The drum machine "fires" machine gun riffs that causes Byrne to stagger "like Jean Paul Belmondo in the final minutes of 'Breathless,' a hero succumbing, surprised, to violence that he'd thought he was prepared for." The song also appears on their 1992 compilation album Sand in the Vaseline: Popular Favorites and over a decade later on another compilation album, The Best of Talking Heads. The game Rock Band 2 features "Psycho Killer". The film "Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon" features "Psycho Killer" over its end credits. The Simpsons' "Treehouse of Horror XIX" features the song as Homer goes on a killing spree. "Psycho Killer" was playing in the background at the diner scene in the Spike Lee film Summer of Sam. The song appeared in the "Building 26" episode of Heroes when Sylar turns on the radio. The character is in fact, a psycho killer. Read more on Last.fm.
