Well at the start of the clip it says "We saw and heard Talking Heads and David Byrne with Once in a Lifetime" in Swedish, which suggests that it was aired on Swedish TV at least.

Another question, maybe Andy knows.
Do we know for sure this actually IS a TV advert filmed for general advertising, or something filmed for a specific show?
Swingers translation maybe suggests the latter as it seems the text is referring to something that was shown just before this video?

I think it was a promotional tool for record shops (and by the way, note the appearances by Brian Nelson, Sheryl Cooper and what may well be Calico Cooper as well).

I thought someone might just have taped it from Swedish TV when it aired but there's no subtitles (which is standard on Swedish TV) and no channel logo. Weird.

It's a great clip anyway.

Sheryl is one of those weird woman who look better as time goes by i see her in the nightmare show and i see her today and im like no way lol

No, it's the lady carrying the small child I think. If the quality was better I would be sure (I've owned this since around 1984 but better quality copy hasn't surfaced).

The album sucked but the commercial was kinda funny.
When I die I hope I'm surrounded by burning gas and shattered chrome.

I think it was the weakest of the four but still has some great moments, I prefer this over anything up to Brutal Planet.
