Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture JT Wanna Be	#1 by JT Fairchild at Aug 3, 1974 at 9:57 PM EST
	I've always seen this as a song about human autonomy, but the zoo explanation is intriguing. The video is as described above and Talk Talk's album covers usually feature animals.

No Picture Brandon Average	#2 by Brandon Young at Apr 27, 1976 at 5:44 PM EST
	ritual, Minimalist, heartbreaking

No Picture Marcus Rhythm Player	#3 by Marcus Moore at Feb 28, 1983 at 9:37 AM EST
	Please go out and buy Spirit of Eden and you'll REALLY get it:-)

No Picture George Average	#4 by George Player at Jun 8, 1984 at 11:27 AM EST
	The original puts the No Doubt cover to shame.

No Picture Bloody Mess All Musical Thunder	#5 by Bloody Mess All Over My Clothes at Dec 18, 1985 at 6:16 PM EST
	Interesting idea, but what would "caught in the crowd" have to do with a pet's feelings toward its owner? Not that that particular line supports my theory all that well either but again the lyrics are sparse anyways.

No Picture CHAD Wanna Be	#6 by CHAD at Aug 30, 1986 at 8:51 AM EST
	This song set me on a course of Supporting Animal rights. I think the Humane Society used it to highllight the plight of the Great Apes?Anyway great song.

No Picture chais Wanna Be	#7 by chais at Nov 2, 1986 at 10:46 AM EST
	Talk Talk were animal rights friendly, however, this is not what the song is about. It is about autonomy in a relationship. The animals in the video are in sync with the sounds the synthesizer makes. Watch the video and you will notice that the animals shown sound like the music being played.

No Picture Aerodyne Average	#8 by Aerodyne at Mar 26, 1988 at 2:42 PM EST
	i love miss darkk's interpretation - a pet talking to his owner. i always thought the 'you' he is talking to is the very same he - he is more or less talking to himself. either way, the first two lines don't seem to make any sense, unless there is some truth in stoolhardy's idea. confusing...that's waht it is. beautiful song though

No Picture Diego Wanna Be	#10 by Diego Samanamu at May 8, 1991 at 6:27 AM EST
	Sod everyone else, "it's my life", I'll do what I want - I find it very joyous

No Picture Evans Average	#11 by Evans at Aug 19, 1994 at 10:46 PM EST
	I agree with madchester...the original ROCKS, and the No Doubt version is crappy! I don't know how much truth there is to this, but I heard they wrote the song b/c they were Pro-Animal Rights, and it was meant to be from a pet's point of view toward their owner. Silly as that may sound, it kind of makes sense to me, b/c pets love their owners unconditionally, and all they expect in return is that same unconditional love. I also heard that the band donated a large portion of the earnings from this song to several humane societies. If I remember correctly, they let the humane society use this song in a commercial, back in the 80's. Like I said, -I don't know how much truth there is to that, and I'm sure that anybody who reads this will think I'm a lunatic, but I can see where it makes sense.

No Picture Herold Wanna Be	#12 by Herold Beddingfield at Oct 12, 1998 at 2:43 PM EST
	it's about self-affirmation of one's morals and esteem. one of my faves fro the 80's, a virtual anti-hit, but a brilliant, brilliant choon!
