Thursday music corner: Pulled Up is the final track on the 1977 debut album of legendary New York band Talking Heads. One of David Byrne’s deranged odes to conformity, it appears on the album’s Side B immediately following the album’s breakthrough hit single, Psycho Killer, and it was the album’s third and final single release. At the time of its release Rolling Stone reviewer Stephen Demorest (who later became an award-winning US soap opera writer) used a chemical analogy to describe Pulled Up as ‘a real champ [and] a fiercely exhilarating rush of aural amyl nitrate’. The album, Talking Heads: 77, was listed as the seventh best in the end-of-year critics’ poll in The Village Voice.
