Once in a Lifetime è un brano composto e inciso dai Talking Heads, contenuto nell'album Remain in Light pubblicato nel 1981. Quarto lavoro in studio per la band di New York, è contraddistinto da una ricerca musicale che mette insieme la poliritmia delle percussioni africane, il funk e la musica elettronica. La canzone ha un testo esistenzialista che parla della crisi di mezza età, dove al cosiddetto "giro di boa" svaniscono i sogni e le speranze della beata gioventù.
