MOORE NOS'U GERHUG HS NOCOWE? / RINGW OME / NS'WI NGSIIE NC ETTDDS

*classic movie / remade in reverse with this shorter title which is also name of band who sang / this song
*theme at meal time
*links among movie, band and song will be obvious
*the original movie and the band's song are within a year of each other; the movie's remake came about over 30 years later
*the song could be the answer to the movies' titles

*the original movie was a controversial drama; the remake was a comedy
*the song could be the answer to the movies' titles
*the actresses who co-star in the original movie, are aunt and niece in real life
*the aunt, is quite the icon, and so is the man who plays her husband. As a matter of fact, the two of them have been paired in nine movies.
*another actress in the original movie plays the maid. She played a maid on television too, until she moved on up.

7. The group has nothing to do with the song. It just shares half its name. Earlier this year its performance was super.
8. The composer played cello and bass.

9. The song has also been recorded as "Blues in the Closet," often by the same musicians who recorded it as the scrambled title.

Great job, Poet! I was beginning to wonder whether this one would ever get solved. :D

GOLD KNIFE DOING BADDAMAGE BUT LOST / ONASSIS HURON
- album / band
- theme-related, abstractly very literally, in the title
- highly popular 'disembodied' band, generally thought of as an Eighties combo, but already several very popular, groundbreaking albums in the Seventies
- title indicates they might have been as popular with architects as with proponents of this theme
- band, minus the lead singer, performed under a different name (even on the same stage) and also had a couple of Eighties hits
- band released a concert film in the mid-Eighties, notable for the lead singer's oversized attire
- One of MTV's enduring early images was that of the lead singer, looking the antithesis of a rock star, telling us it's the "same as it ever was"

I think ... :) Spin off band was Tom Tom Club, which had one of the most sampled songs in hip-hop for a time.

Dude! 100%!

I remember reading that everyone else in the band resented David Byrne, because he acted like it was all about him. Tom Tom Club were okay... but I couldn't help thinkiing they were pretty much proof that he was right. Well, that and Jerry Harrison's solo album. :rolleyes:

I think 3 of the 4 members were graduates of Brown University, too. It was a Japanese designer who suggested the big suits. Jerry Harrison's "Rev It Up" is one of my favorite all time tunes. ;)

Oops. :eek: That's the only tune I can remember from the album - I never did listen to the whole thing all the way through. I might love it now - that happens to me a fair bit.

Byrne went to RISD, also in Providence,but I'm not sure whether he graduated. But hey, he won. And Spike Lee taught at Harvard, so there ya go!

(Harrison was in the first incarnation of Jonathan Richman's Modern Lovers, and so was part of Road Runner and Pablo Picasso. So he's immortal a couple times over!)

Maybe I meant RISD. This stuff is foggy and I'm another year older. :) My aunt went there for a semester or two, but figured out she wasn't a designer.
