My favourite music video of the 80s



This is the music video for 80s alternative pop band Talking Heads, single "Once In a Lifetime". Its visual effects and focus on David Byrne are a reflection on the conventions of music video, it is a sensationalist and colourful video and allowed Talking Heads frontman (and former art and design student) David Byrne to fuse his vision of Talking Heads and freedom of art together, creating a striking and artisitic visual style. David Byrne to this day pushes the boundarys of music and art and this inventive video represents Talking Heads Art/Music style.
