Psycho Killer Source: Talking Heads Villain: Psycho Killer Nominator: Jesse Custer Favorite lyric: You start a conversation, you can't even finish it / You're talking a lot, but you're not saying anything / When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed / Say something once, why say it again? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyaOYfpq9Fc Villainy: 7 Characterization: 9 Melody: 10 Total: 26/30 I definitely do NOT need to thank Jesse Custer for introducing me to this song, beause I'd heard Psycho Killer probably more times than any other song on this list. For good reason too, because this is one of the most endlessly catch songs of all time. Is this the most famous song about a serial killer? It might be, and I'm definitely having trouble thinking of a bigger one. This is also one of the biggest cases of unreliable narrator in the list, as it's hard to tell exactly what this killer (inspired by Norman Bates) is truly doing. While his actual actions are vague, it's easy to infer that this is a man on the brink of insanity. He jumps back and forth between languages in a way that seems appropriate for his unhinged mental state. He vaguely rambles in French about the things he'd done the night before to an unnamed woman, in between vague ramblings in English over the petty things he hates about people, like their vanity and redundancy. More than anything else, it's the stream-of-consciousness way David Byrne sings that really makes this an unforgettable classic. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs <cite>Johnbobb posted [p:943511928] in Johnbobb r...
