I got this new Talking Heads album and I when I listened to Road to Nowhere for the first time, I could have sworn I have heard it somewhere else. Is this song played on the ending credits of some movie? Does anyone know?

There we go. I recognized it from the movie **Little Monsters** which I saw about a million times during the early 90s. Thanks, too. I never realized IMDB had a soundtrack search, although I should have guessed. They basically have everything.
