I Zimbra by The Talking Heads:

An African sounding beat. Very upbeat. Guitar harmonics on drums and hand drums to begin before quickly adding bass. Apparently the lyrics are inspired by Hugo Ball's poem  'Gadji beri bimba' and is a "made-up" language. More details here: http://www.ubu.com/sound/ball.html . Definitely has a psych-disco feel to it. It stops very abruptly, which I guess is common for first tracks. Interesting.
