52 Pickup - Entry 7

[allan138]

Yesterday, I downloaded a compilation of 80's songs that was much different from any 80's collection that I had ever gotten before. usually, you get tons of one hit wonders and a song or two from an artist that transcended the decade and had a hit that was indicative of the decade it was released in. This one had those two, but it also had some songs by artists I've never heard before, as well as songs by artists that had never gotten popular for one reason or another. The very first song is "Road to Nowhere" by The Talking Heads. I had never heard of it before, so when I began the song I instantly recognized it as being the song that plays during the credits of "Little Monsters" one of my favorite childhood movies, starring current game show host and former Bobby's World star, Howie Mandel. It wasn't a classic film, but as a kid I found it to be great simply because the kids in the movie were so mischievous and reflective of my status as a little bastard. The song itself isn't reflective of their other body of work but I find it enjoyable nonetheless. It's definitely "Talking Heads For the 80's."
