Trivia / More Songs About Buildings and Food

• Breakthrough Hit: The band's cover of Al Green's "Take Me to the River", taken from this album, was the band's first Top 40 hit, peaking at number 26 on the Billboard Top 100. The parent album was also their first to make the Billboard charts, peaking at no. 29.
• Promoted Fanboy: Brian Eno was already a fan of Talking Heads when he was asked to produce their second album. He ended up producing their next two albums as well.
• Referenced by...: "Weird Al" Yankovic, a fan of the band, once provided a shout-out to the album title by etching a message in the original LP release of Dare to Be Stupid reading "More Songs About Television And Food", lampshading his own tendency to write parody songs about these subjects.
• Throw It In!: How Tina Weymouth attests that the album title was devised, as recorded in a 1979 interview with Creem magazine.
  "When we were making [Fear of Music] I remembered this stupid discussion we had about titles for the last album ... At that time I said, 'What are we gonna call an album that's just about buildings and food?' And Chris said, 'You call it more songs about buildings and food.'"
