Tonight’s mystery artist said when he was writing one of his hit songs he was imagining Alice Cooper doing a Randy Newman type ballad. Can you imagine the song he came up with or the band he sang it with??

This strange imagination is told of in the liner notes from ‘Once in a Lifetime: The Best of the Talking Heads ‘ by composer David Byrne himself.  The song is Psycho Killer.  He finished by saying:

Both the Joker and Hannibal Lecter were much more fascinating than the good guys. Everybody sort of roots for the bad guys in movies.

Here they are with tonight's featured song.

In case you're not familiar with Randy Newman. Here is a ballad but you probably know him for 'Short People"
