I attended a lecture Eno gave in Davis, CA years and years ago. He talked about how, after having recorded a bunch of instrumentation for this song, during mixing they decided to try removing things. So, for example, they'd take out three snare hits and leave the fourth. He said it was really difficult taking away stuff after having gone through the effort of putting it on tape. He played a clip of the original, comparatively busy arrangement, then played what they release; the difference was really impressive.
awesome...I wish I could hear the "busy" version!!! The only time I was fortunate enough to see the Talking Heads was the "Burning Down the House:" tour as it was known...but they started out with David Byrne coming out with his guitar and a boom box and did "Psycho Killer" then Tina came out on bass....it was soooo cool
