Ben CarterHOST
I thought that was a bop.
Ben CarterHOST
It samples Genius of Love by Tom Tom Club as the main riff that runs through the middle of it.
Ben CarterHOST
A song that's been sampled 205 times by artists like Mariah Carey, Lardo, Tupac, J Dilla, Busta Rhymes.
Ben CarterHOST
It's been sampled a lot in hip-hop and it's a very prominent sound.

Damon BruceHOST
Yeah, the Tom Tom Club was the rhythm section of Talking Heads and Genius of Love.
Damon BruceHOST
That came from Talking Heads.
Danny HeifetzHOST
For those that don't know, here's the way it works.
Danny HeifetzHOST
We are gonna rank all these things that we really regret after a single week of football, and we're gonna put three minutes on the clock, and every three minutes you're gonna hear this sound, which is no longer Tom Tom Club.
Danny HeifetzHOST
[upbeat music] Okay.
Danny HeifetzHOST
Do we like it? Are we locking this sound in for the season?
Nick de SemlyenHOST
...
Nick de SemlyenHOST
the TomTom Club, uh, but didn't.
Nick de SemlyenHOST
But yeah, we asked Christopher Nolan.
Nick de SemlyenHOST
Uh, he picked Magnolia.
Mike SpearsGUEST
And a- a- at least to me, like the way that things end with Naked, and essentially, the, the, the sides go in completely different directions.
Mike SpearsGUEST
And o- o- of course, uh, W- Weymouth and Frantz have Tom Tom Club that they've-
Andrew RichHOST
Mm-hmm
Mike SpearsGUEST
... toured with as a part of, uh, uh, Talking Heads, and then, like, separately with, uh...
Mike SpearsGUEST
The sides go in completely different directions.
Mike SpearsGUEST
And of course, Waymouth and Friends have Tom Tom Club that they toured with as a part of Talking Heads and then like separately with it.
Mike SpearsGUEST
It's interesting to see how like this band that for a certain time period in certain circles, I mean, sort of like the peak of at least art pop for that time period completely changed.
Mike SpearsGUEST
fall apart the way it did and it kind of i i would guess probably starting from like little creatures on things were getting very kind of tense there and it just was kind of a slow release until 91 where they just completely break up at that point
Phil HignettGUEST
He's sort of totally floored by this moment, and we just pulled out all the dialogue and let James Blake take over with this amazing, haunting cover.
Matt FeuryHOST
Earlier you brought up the car scene with Owen and his brother singing Tom Tom Club's "Wordy Rappinghood." Simple scenes like that, car scenes or dinner table scenes, intimate scenes played out in close proximity, to me, they always seem to be deceptively difficult to cut.
Matt FeuryHOST
But then you add a musical performance element to it like you have here, and I would imagine it's gotta be even more of a lift.
Matt FeuryHOST
When you're cutting something like that, where do you begin to build the structure? Are you finding the rhythm first and then you pay attention to the narrative and how the performances support it? Or something else altogether?
Joe KwaczalaHOST
rock and roll um elvis himself is is a great example of that if you can believe anyway anyway but
Kristen StudardHOST
i i saw the movie elvis and uh i loved it and i think that they gave it willingly um yeah i will just say finally the Tom Tom club who I love are just like, what are we doing here? A lot of ways.
Kristen StudardHOST
You're just like, you're appropriating world music rap.
Kristen StudardHOST
Like we're out here.
Gavin WebsterHOST
Where to start? is tommy toast is he i mean some of us said didn't need a documentary on channel four to tell us what he really is about you know as in oh he appears to be very rich and traveling around the world in first class and staying in luxury hotels buying villas and spending lots of time on holiday and still being able to get back to organize big budget rallies whilst uh starting video channels and being a journalist, you know what I mean turns out that was all money that we were donating to him from our bank accounts to help him what mugs we are that should be the follow up line as to what it is when it's seen as some Asian kids have their own youth club built by the council what mugs we are We're all following Tomo now.
Gavin WebsterHOST
Tomo Thompson, Tom Tom, Tom Tom Club Tomo.
Gavin WebsterHOST
He's a working class bloke.
Gavin WebsterHOST
He's Tomo, isn't he? He's been inside, so it makes him working class.
Dylan HensleyHOST
And Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads put out a solo record I thought was kind of interesting.
Dylan HensleyHOST
Because he already had Tom Tom Club, right?
Justin HensleyHOST
Wasn't Tom Tom Club the other?
Dylan HensleyHOST
No, that's Chris.
Dylan HensleyHOST
That's right.
