Talking Heads' performance of Once in a Lifetime in their concert film Stop Making Sense is notable for its almost 4-minute long, unbroken chiaroscuro shot of Byrne performing the song.
This version of the song also plays over the opening titles of Down and Out in Beverly Hills. The song was remixed to remove the live audience.
The live performance was released as a single in 1985, peaking at #91 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Famous quotes containing the word making:
“Thus the theory of description matters most.
It is the theory of the word for those
For whom the word is the making of the world,
The buzzing world and lisping firmament.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
