Music Video Of The Day: Tom Tom Club 'Genius Of Love'

By Chuck Sudo in Arts & Entertainment on Aug 18, 2014 10:30PM

I watched Stop Making Sense at the Music Box Theatre last Friday night and fell in love with Talking Heads bassist Tina Weymouth all over again. Weymouth and her husband, drummer Chris Frantz, get a solo showcase in the film where they play "Genius of Love" from their side project, Tom Tom Club.

Released in 1981, "Genius of Love" has become one of the most influential songs in the development of hip hop, as well as one of the most sampled and recognizable. Enjoy.

Since you apparently can't watch music videos on television anymore, we'll showcase one here daily. There's no rhyme or reason, time or season, to which video we'll choose. Have a suggestion? Contact us at tips@chicagoist.com.
