In the liner notes for ''Once in a Lifetime: The Best of Talking Heads'' (1992), Jerry Harrison wrote of the b-side of the single, an acoustic version of the song that featured Arthur Russell on cello, "I'm glad we persuaded Tony () and Lance () that the version with the cellos shouldn't be the only one." The band's "signature debut hit" features lyrics which seem to represent the thoughts of a serial killer.

It reached number 32 on the Triple J Hottest 100 in 1989, and peaked at number 11 on the Dutch singles chart in 1977. The song is included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://rockhall.com/exhibits/one-hit-wonders-songs-that-shaped-rock-and-roll/ )〕 ==Lyrics== According to the preliminary lyric sheets copied onto the 2006 remaster of ''Talking Heads: 77'', the song started off as a semi-narrative of the killer actually committing murders. In the liner notes of ''Once in a Lifetime: The Best of Talking Heads'', Byrne says: The bridge lyrics are in French, as is the prominent chorus line "''Qu'est-ce que c'est ?''" ("What is this/it?").
