Then explain why Chris Frantz in the movie "Stop Making Sense" says,
"It's time for us to turn back into THE Talking Heads."  (At the end
of Tom-Tom Club's "Genius Of Love".  Oops, I'm sorry.  That's "THE
Tom-Tom Club.")

In the words of Sir Winston Churchill, "That is the sort of pedantry
up with which I shall not put."  (Said upon the event of a woman
having corrected him when he ended a sentence with a prepostion.)

.....But only if you're a big enough fan of the group to care.

If you were a TRUE Heads fan in 1980, you had to try to pronounce the
inverted "A's".  Or, upon the release of "SP EAK IN GI N TO NGU ES",
you had to pronounce their name "TA LKI N GHE ADS".  I mean, they went
to the trouble to use that spacing on the record label *and* on the
spine of the album, so they must have wanted their name pronounced
that way.  Right?
