Talking Headsのファンには怒られそうですが、Tom Tom Clubの方が僕の好みに合ってます（このページの趣旨にも合ってます）。Talking Headsはちょっと判りにくいという人にもTom Tomは判りやすく、ポップでダンサブルでチャーミングです。シャレで始めた割りには「おしゃべり魔女」が大ヒット。確か、大阪の南に『Tom Tom Club』という店が有りました。Tom Tom Clubは2000年に突如として新譜をリリース。

Tom Tom Club meets my taste (and the idea of this page) more though it may upset the fans of Talking Heads. Tom Tom Club which is pop, danceable and charming is easy for the people who may not understand Talking Heads to understand. 'Wordy Rappinghood' became a big hit even though they started without seriousness. As I recall, there was a shop called "Tom Tom Club" in the South of Osaka. Tom Tom Club released a new album suddenly in 2000.
