Frantz stated in the [[liner notes]] of ''[[Once in a Lifetime: The Best of Talking Heads]]'', "When ["Slippery People"] was originally recorded on ''[[Speaking in Tongues (Talking Heads album)|Speaking in Tongues]]'', it had a funky and compact sound. This ''Stop Making Sense'' version is funky and big as a house. (Or should I say church?)"
