Hey Powdies

People who saw the 'Wall Street' sequel 'Money Never Sleeps' might be intrigued by the Talking Heads song at the end 'This must be the place'. Apparently it was written in 1983.

I wonder whether its gentle, wistful (don't call it insipid!) air was any sort of musical influence on the writing of 'Bakerman', on 'Red Sails' (1984)?
