No Talking, Just Head is an album by The Heads, a band composed of Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth, and Chris Frantz of Talking Heads, joined by a variety of guest singers. Its name may be seen as a reference to the fact that Talking Heads' former vocalist, David Byrne, is not present, as well as a joke relating to the common expression "giving head" as a synonym for performing fellatio. This was, at the time, intended to turn into a full-time project, with further studio albums and tour. Furthermore, a live CD/video of the first tour was planned, featuring performances of songs originally recorded by Talking Heads reinterpreted by the album's guest artists. However, David Byrne sued the band[2], asserting that their name and presentation was too evocative of Talking Heads, and put an end to those plans.

"Damage I've Done" and "Don't Take My Kindness for Weakness" were released as singles.
