talking heads 

A term used in the Television business. Used on news shows and reports, 'talking heads' reffers to when the camera focuses on the head and upper shoulders of the newscaster. The resulting footage is that of a head which does not seem to be connected to a body. Thus, the term that is implied is 'talking heads'.

This definition is also where the band Talking Heads got their name from. They read it from a TV guide book.

*Roll camera 1. 'Talking heads', Go.*

talking heads 

The best band to ever play music and they supported the use of cocaine. David Byrne is a romantic poet and should become your conscience. Their music is the ultimate aphrodesiac.

"Stop making sense, stop making sense...stop making sense, making sense
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
And nothing is better that this
( is it? )"

Pioneering New Wave band. Emerged from the NY punk scene in the mid '70s but had a distinctly different sound influenced by funk, esp. James Brown. Later to come under the influence of producer Brian Eno, and also incorporated elements of African music into their coked-up fouth album Remain In Light. Also heavily influenced by cocaine, by the way.

Talking Heads 

One of the worst, most dreadful bands of all time. Hard to determine what their best albums are because most of their music is garbage. Their induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just proves that the R&RHoF doesn't mean shit.

Talking Head 

A “Talking Head” is someone who never stops talking. They will corner you by your car after a long day’s work to tell you gossip about the neighbors or to ask you about the details of your day, so they can distort it and spread it throughout the neighborhood.

Not all Talking Heads are malicious, but all talking heads are idiots and time-wasters. Over a year, you can lose many precious hours cornered by a Talking Head.

It is important to cut them off immediately, even if it seems rude and you end up on their “neighborhood hit list.” For the most part, all Talking Heads, unknown to themselves, are hated and despised by most people.

"Man, Jean sure is one tedious “Talking Head.” I just lost an hour of my life that I will never get back just talking to them."
