The Lamp Dance!!!
I can't believe there's not a topic on the lamp dance!
I had Remain in Light for a while and loved it (I believe Thom Yorke of Radiohead had mentioned it one time in an interview). I think I put off getting their other albums because I think I read about some remasters coming out. I happened across SMS in Blockbuster and rented it. The song that really blew me away was Naive Melody and the lamp dance David did along to it. I think it just so happened that the newer Talking Heads compilation came out that week with Naive Melody included, so I picked it up. Then when the remasters came out, I got the first 5 albums.
Anyways - David doesn't give any origin to his lamp dance in the commentary, just talks about having to make a bigger lamp in order to do the dance with. Has he ever spoken more on this lamp dance in any interviews?
I especially love the shot when David leans forward and hugs the lamp. I wish I had a still from that frame.
