the map of when

David Byrne performs a cover of “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” which was written by George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam and turned into a major hit by Whitney Houston.

This kind of freaked me out. I mean, out of all of Houston’s songs Byrne picked this? I was hoping for something a little more subversive. It actually reminded me of when Springsteen sang Dancing In The Dark and you would have thought the very fabric of time was collapsing from people so distraught that The Boss was singing… disco… *shudder*. I just listened to this and imagined the “psycho killer” singing this to himself while standing in a suburban bar and nursing a screwdriver.
