Genius of Tom Tom

I am a big fan of all things Talking Head. This includes “Genius of Love”, the great tune by the Tom Tom Club. The song is a bit electronic, a bit dance and all cool. It has also been sampled about a million times. Some of the samples are familiar, think Mariah Carey. Others are much more rare. For your enjoyment I give you just a few of these. I start with the original, and the really innovative video that goes with it. Than I give you the live version from “Stop Making Sense, the Talking Heads concert flick . After that, a whole bunch of tunes that sample it.

THIS IS THE MARIAH TUNE MENTIONED EARLIER
