Story about this misheard lyric by: William Michael I knew that these could not possibly be the lyrics. I was a huge Talking Heads fan and naturally bought the first album by the side project Tom Tom Club in late 1981. The groove overshadowed the lyrics anyway. It wasn't until the Talking Heads movie "Stop Making Sense" came out three years later which featured "Genius of Love" performed live, and I was finally able to discern the actual lyrics. |
