Notes: David Byrne about this song: When I Started writing this ( I got help later), I imagined Alice Cooper doing a Randy Newman-type ballad. Both the Joker and Hannibal Lecter were much more fascinating than the good guys. Everybody sort of roots for the bad guys in movies.; Jerry Harrison: I'm glad we persuaded Tony with the cellos shouldn't be the only one.
