Cover art for Making Flippy Floppy (Stop Making Sense Version) lyrics by Talking Heads

that's a pretty complex commentary, inmotionxii but i think the song is simpler than that - and i believe it even adovates avoiding such in-depth investigations for meaning....

like the song is about life in general... not a specific baby and certain experiences, but about common random observations about what it means to be human. i mean, when you think about it, isn't human life ridiculous on a whole lot of levels that just happen to be pointed out here? And there are lots of reasons to be down about it, but we just get over it and move on. Like, the character (your) starts off sort of unmotivated, but gets some good advice about life: life doesn't make sense... so stop making sense.

"Life doesn't make sense, so stop making sense." I love that. I was thinking something along those lines when I was reading the lyrics to this song, actually. It seems that the need to make something out of nothing is a recurring theme in this music...
