Before Talking Heads toured in 1983 (the Speaking in Tongues / Stop Making Sense tour), David Byrne recorded videotapes of himself dancing/moving in interesting ways, to practice what would work well on stage. He's mentioned this method of developing choreography for the tour before, but this is the first time that footage has surfaced online, 40 years later.

Video source: https://www.tiktok.com/@talkingheads/video...
(Trimmed from the first TikTok uploaded by the official Talking Heads account, on Friday 2023-08-18, which included this clip followed by text that says "Talking Heads Take Tik Tok")

1983 interview where David discusses these tapes: Ā Ā Ā ā€¢Ā DavidĀ ByrneĀ interviewĀ 1983Ā Ā 
Interviewer: "do you practice dance?"
David: "yeah, I have a little home video camera. so if I do something interesting, with my arm or with my feet or my head or something, then I turn on the tape and tape a little bit of it, and look back later and see if it looks good."

Although the song used in the TikTok is Psycho Killer, it seems likely that this developed into how David moves during Life During Wartime and especially Big Business

Copying the description I wrote into a comment because Shorts make it less convenient to read descriptions:

This is not rehearsal. This is simply David Byrne in his natural habitat.
