Laurie Anderson - Mr. Heartbreak
fans of Adrian Belew are STRONGLY advised to give this a spin.
I think it's the best thing she ever did.
sometimes, I think it's the best thing anybody ever did.
Let's see. Uh, it was on an island. And there was a snake.
And this snake had legs. And he could walk all around the island.
Yes. That's true. A snake with legs.
And the man and the woman were on the island too.
And they were not very smart.
But they were happy as clams. Yes.
Let's see. Uh... then one evening
the snake was walking about in the garden
and he was talking to himself
and he saw the woman and they started to talk.
And they became friends.
Very good friends.
And the woman liked the snake very much.
Because when he talked,
he made little noises with his tongue,
and his long tongue
was lightly licking about his lips.
Like there was a little fire inside his mouth
and the flame would come dancing out of his mouth.
And the woman liked this very much.
And after that, she was bored with the man.
Because no matter what happened,
he was always as happy as a clam.
What did the snake say?
Yes! What was he saying?
OK. I will tell you.
The snake told her things about the world.
He told her about the time there was a big typhoon on the island
and all the sharks came out of the water.
Yes.
They came out of the water and they walked right into your house
with their big white teeth.
And the woman heard these things. And she was in LOVE.
And the man came out and said: We have to go now!
And the woman did not want to go.
Because she was a hothead.
Because she was a woman in love.
Anyway, we got into their boat and left the island.
But they never stayed anywhere very long.
Because the woman was restless.
She was a hothead.
She was a woman in love.
And this is not a story my people tell.
It is something I know myself.
And when I do my job, I am thinking about these things.
Because when I do my job, that is what I think about.
Oooo la la la la.
This is the Language of Love.

That's probably the next Laurie album I'm gonna get. I have "Big Science" and "Strange Angels."

Seconded. One of the most underrated pop albums in music history, surely.
