"Sax and Violins" is a song by American rock band Talking Heads, written by David Byrne. It appears on the soundtrack for the epic science fiction drama film Until the End of the World (1991), directed by Wim Wenders who also directed the music video for the song. It was also released as a successful airplay single and charted at number one on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart. The title is a play on the phrase "sex and violence".
The song was later released on the compilations Once in a Lifetime: The Best of Talking Heads and Sand in the Vaseline: Popular Favorites (both 1992). It was released again in 2005 as a bonus track on the remastered edition of Naked.
