Once in a Lifetime was certified gold in the UK in 2021. A live version, tak from the 1984 concert film Stop Making Sse, charted in 1986 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Like other songs on Remain in Light, Talking Heads and the producer Brian o developed Once in a Lifetime by recording jams, isolating the best parts, and learning to play them repetitively.
The technique was influced by early hip hop and the Afrobeat music of artists such as Fela Kuti, which o had introduced to the band. The singer, David Byrne, liked the process to modern looping and sampling, describing the band as human samplers.

The track was initially not one of o's favorites, and the band almost abandoned it. According to the keyboardist, Jerry Harrison, Because there were so few chord changes, and everything was in a sort of trance ... it became harder to write defined choruses.
However, Byrne had faith in the song and felt he could write lyrics to it. o developed the chorus melody by singing wordlessly, and the song fell into place.
O interpreted the rhythm differtly from the band, with the third beat of the bar as the first. He couraged the band members to interpret the beat in differt ways, thereby exaggerating differt rhythmic elemts.

According to o, This means the song has a funny balance, with two cters of gravity – their funk groove, and my dubby, reggae-ish understanding of it; a bit like the way Fela Kuti songs will have multiple rhythms going on at the same time, warping in and out of each other.
According to the bassist, Tina Weymouth, the drummer, Chris Frantz, created the bassline by yelling during a jam, which she mimicked on bass guitar.
She wanted to leave lots of space for the cacophony that surrounded me. I felt like I was pounding away like a carpter, just nailing away to get it in the groove.

O removed the bass note from the first beat of the bar, as he felt it was too obvious, and rerecorded the part. Wh Talking Heads returned to New York and o had gone home, the gineer had Weymouth record the bassline again. She said: It wasn't a big fight betwe me and Brian, as it has sometimes be portrayed, it was just a musical dispute.
Byrne improvised lines as if he were giving a sermon, with a call-and-response chorus like a preacher and congregation. His vocals are half-spok, half-sung, with lyrics about living in a beautiful house with a beautiful wife and a large automobile.
The Guardian writer Jack Malcolm suggested that the song can be read as an art-pop rumination on the existtial ticking time bomb of unchecked consumerism and advancing age.

According to the AllMusic critic Steve Huey, the lyrics address the drudgery of living life according to social expectations, and pursuing commonly accepted trophies (a large automobile, beautiful house, beautiful wife).
Although the singer has these trophies, he questions whether they are real and how he acquired them, a kind of existtial crisis.
Byrne died that the lyrics address yuppie greed and said the song was about the unconscious: We operate half-awake or on autopilot and d up, whatever, with a house and family and job and everything else, and we hav't really stopped to ask ourselves, 'How did I get here?'

O observed that Byrne combined the blood-and-thunder intonation of the preacher with optimistic lyrics: It's saying what a fantastic place we live in, let's celebrate it. That was a radical thing to do wh everyone was so miserable and grey!

The video was directed by Byrne and Toni Basil and choreographed by Basil. They studied archive footage of religious rituals from around the world, including footage of evangelists, African tribes, Japanese sects and people in trances, for Byrne to incorporate his performance.
According to Basil, David kind of choreographed himself. I set up the camera, put him in front of it, and asked him to absorb those ideas. Th I left the room so he could be alone with himself. I came back, looked at the videotape, and we chose physical moves that worked with the music. I just helped to stylize his moves a little.
To emphasize Byrne's jerky movemts, Basil used an old-fashioned zoom ls. The video was made on a low budget; Basil described it as about as low-tech as you could get and still be broadcastable.
