Wow, that is utterly bizarre. I can't believe I've never heard that before.

It's like the horns are pushing it into a different key.
That New Feeling remix is bad but is it as annoying as the Life During Wartime "Alternate Version" with the ridiculous revving guitar layered over the old track like a wacky hand buzzer?
One can say that much like Bowie's and REM's covers being almost always crap despite what you'd guess based on their excellent taste and talent for experimentation, Talking Heads should have been great at remixes and just didn't get the format at all.

You know what, scratch REM, I think I had just forgotten about the entirety of Dead Letter Office for some reason

Superman is pretty classic and I like their party take on Strange

The New Feeling original mix is actually hilarious. Trying to picture Byrne's reaction to this
