Noted Montclair, N.J. resident Stephen Colbert offered the Internets a treat during his appearance at a fundraiser for the Montclair Film Festival. The Late Show host put on a special performance of Talking Heads’ 1981 single “Once in a Lifetime.” Colbert even went the extra mile to mimic David Byrne’s spasmodic dance moves. Watch his take on the classic (and then check out the original “Once in a Lifetime” video) below. [Stereogum]
