This is the video for "Road to Nowhere" by Talking Heads, from 1985. I am a huge fan of both this song and this bizarre video. The little icon of David Byrne running in the corner the whole time, the chorus, all the deranged stop-motion (especially at 2:55), the desert vibes- I dig it. After this video, the director (Stephen Tobolowsky) made the video for "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel, which is an award-winning slice of stop-motion insanity that I will probably give its own post someday.
i love that song!
