I believe another user already asked this but who else here was pleased to see the Talking Heads' 1977 rock ballad ''Psycho Killer'' featured in the end credit sequence?

Signatures are overrated.

I love the Talking Heads and the song was perfect for the credits. Great ending.

No, not at all. That seriously changed my life. It was incredible.

Not to mention all of the other scripts named after and films featuring Talking Heads songs. This was the best usage though. Andrew Kevin Walker wrote a script called Psycho Killer also that's being produced.

Great use of a great song. As soon as I heard the first notes I knew what it was; the song kept me watching through the whole credits.

I admit I got a little giddy when I heard the opening notes.

I was. I always wondered if there was a movie out there that featured this song at all. Now i know.

does anything happen in the end credits? i watched them for like 10 minutes but then i got bored and shut it off.

When the morgue video starts at the beginning of the end credits, it's pretty obvious what is going to happen...

Enjoyed it when they put it into Heroes, Sylar was listening to it on the radio or something. And this movie is a great place for it as well.

I loved the fact that the song was in there. Thought it really added to the lighthearted tone of the movie.

I was happy and surprised that this little film had such a well known song. Granted the Talking Heads are a 70's/80's band, but I'm still guessing their catalog costs some money. And for it to be in the end credits was kinda cool.
