Foot fetish mainstream find: Talking Heads’ ‘And She Was’ music video

I realize this may have already been posted here on the TMF about this Talking Heads tune from the 80s, but, in the event, it hasn’t or it’s been a while, I thought I’d share my experience finding this song’s surprising foot fetish ‘roots’ if you will. Here’s a post I just made to my Laughter Mechanic blog:

And She Was

This Talking Heads song from 1985 is one I listened to a lot in my high school and college days many moons ago.


I never knew what the song was actually about until today.


I know...I just lost my Talking Heads big fan street cred and license.


To be completely honest, I'd kind of forgotten about the song altogether until yesterday while I was walking.


I saw a license plate that read ‘NSheWas’ which immediately sparked my memory that I liked that song very much.
Now...whether the license plate holder is a Talking Heads fan or there is some other explanation for that 7 letter personalized plate, I don’t think I’ll ever know (yes, I know, I should probably go knock on the door of the house where the vehicle is parked outside and ask whoever comes to said door).


But, it did inspire me to check out the official video which I’d never seen before.


To say I was pleasantly surprised watching the video is an understatement.
It was a foot fetishist’s dream of sorts. Possibly literally


Here are just some of the beautiful images that the music video director and producer, Jim Blashfield, used in the award winning production:





And here are five more

Yep, if I was a betting man (I am), I’d say Jim was one of us ...a closet, or possibly OUT of the closet foot fetishist ��


Thank you, David Byrne for this beautiful song about one of your high school friends who did some LSD out by the Yoo-Hoo chocolate drink factory where you both were going to school and this was your interpretation of her 'flighty' trip 
It’s SUCH a lovely song with lovely melodies and chord changes, and even lovelier now that it has gorgeous bare feet from some gorgeous unnamed woman (guessing by the picture below that's in the video that the unnamed is the Talking Heads' own bassist, the lovely Tina Weymouth?! Maybe?!) attached to the lyrics (see link above for image).

And she was indeed.


Thanks as always for stopping by,

I loved that song. I had the 45! How's that for dating myself? We didn't have MTV growing up so I never saw the video till now. Very cool find.

Great article! Thanks for the link.
