"I Zimbra" is the second single from Talking Heads' 1979 album Fear of Music.

Background and Production

"I Zimbra" was the final track added to Fear of Music. In 1978, while in Perth, Australia on their tour supporting More Songs About Buildings And Food, the band was listening to a demo version of the song, and realized they really wanted it to be included on the album. This lead to Jerry Harrison and David Byrne flying first to New York to finish the song with Brian Eno as producer and Julie Last as engineer. The two band members then caught another flight to meet back up with Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth in Denmark to continue the tour.[1]
