According to Frantz's 2020 memoir 'Remain in Love', the trio cycled through several possible names before landing on Talking Heads. Vogue Dots, Billionaires, Tunnel Tones and Videos were all considered, but thanks to the band's friend, Michael 'Wayne' Zieve, who would later write the lyrics to the 'More Songs About Buildings and Food' track 'Artists Only', Talking Heads held the winning ticket. According to Frantz, Zieve visited the group with a TV Guide featuring a list of jargon used by camera operators. Among the words and phrases was 'Talking Head,' which Zieve called the 'most boring but also the most informative format in TV.' He added, 'I think you should call your band Talking Heads.'
