- Bless thee, YouTube. I'm a big fan of Talking Heads' "Crosseyed and Painless" as a dancefloor natural - the only reason why it doesn't get every last booty in the house to shake is because it has been somewhat lost in the sands of time. Luckilly, someone found this ancient music video for it and posted it online for the world to see the genius of this song. The flipside of being paranoid and jittery, as these Toni Basil-directed b-boys so amply show us, is an incredible energy. A seamless mix of uptown and downtown culture, this video should make it abundantly clear why the Heads are among the most underrated dance bands of all time.
