"Cities" is by far my favorite cut from 1979's Fear of Music.  It just has an infectious, galloping feel similar to that of other Heads tunes like "Crosseyed and Painless" and "Found a Job."

Click here to watch a live performance of "Cities" on YouTube.  Unfortunately, I could not find the terrific version filmed for the Stop Making Sense movie.  Even though it was omitted from the theatrical film, it was integrated into the VHS release, and it's an extra on the DVD.  That may have something to do with why I couldn't find it - it was actually on YouTube at one time, and was "removed due to terms of use violation."  So there are probably some legalities involved here that I'm too stupid to comprehend.

This is part of a week-long series on the music of the Talking Heads.
