I am obsessed with the song, “The Great Defector.” I can’t get it out of my head. I don’t want to get it out of my head. They probably owe royalties to the Talking Heads, but honestly, what other band has been able to successfully copy David Byrne. That in itself is a marvel. Good for them. Great song. I’m going to have to pick up the album.

Great song. Thanks for the tip.
Though I would say much more Crowded House influence than ‘Burning Down The House’.
Similar voice though.
