The Ultimate Guide to Using Dumbbells

My cave of crassitude
There is a terrible forest fire. All the animals are fleeing the conflagration except hummingbird, who is flying back and forth, scooping up little slivers of water from a spring and dumping them on the flames. "What do you think you're doing, stupid little bird?" the other animals ask derisively, and Hummingbird says, "I'm doing what I can."

Wow, that video makes me dizzy!
I should have known better than to think it was David Byrne/ Talking Heads. I like the song, but can't respect the blatant rip-off-ness of it.
I've heard that comparison too. There's only so much original music until some recycling has to occur.
But there are degrees of recycling. I can't name a particular band that The Strokes or The Killers sound like, but they're derivative nonetheless. That CYHSY song sounds like a Talking Heads tribute band.
And I'm not a Stokes or Killers fan, so I'm not saying they are better than CYHSY.
P.S. - Hehe, that abbreviation makes me think of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
