Notes: Driving, angular funk‑rock groove with interlocking guitar and keyboard lines and Byrne’s tense, talk‑sung vocals; rhythm is steady but the arrangement feels slightly jagged and off‑kilter.

A twitchy, art‑rock funk song built on a tight, repetitive groove and Byrne’s neurotic, observational lyrics about artistic pretension and exclusion.
