TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

50 sets of twins appear in the movie.

The "Puzzling Evidence" segment of the film was inspired by the Church of the Sub-Genius, a parody religion to which David Byrne is an adherent. In "church" lore, Puzzling Evidence is the name of the assassin of the religion's fictional founder, J.R. "Bob" Dobbs.

British band Radiohead took their name from the song "Radio Head" featured in this film.

David Byrne's band Talking Heads was unable to perform at Live Aid (1985) due to Byrne's commitment to this film.

Most of the vocal work done by the film's stars, including that of singer Roebuck 'Pops' Staples, was not released. Instead, Talking Heads recorded an album featuring their versions of the songs. Nearly every song from the movie was released on a soundtrack album, performed by the film actors and nearly all of the background music as well. It included John Goodman's version of People Like Us.

Popular Dialogues

"Narrator: I really enjoy forgetting. When I first come to a place, I notice all the little details. I notice the way the sky looks. The color of white paper. The way people walk. Doorknobs. Everything. Then I get used to the place and I don't notice those things anymore. So only by forgetting can I see the place again as it really is."

"Narrator: I have something to say about the difference between American and European cities. But I've forgotten what it is. I have it written down at home somewhere."
