    B52's are true originals. Love a lot of their stuff.

    52 Girls and Dance This Mess Around from their first album are my favorites. And their cover of Downtown on that same album is so under-appreciated.

    Shawn & Mel, you'll love their "Love Shack", "Roam" and "Planet Claire"!!! They were one of the best in the 'new wave' genre!

    The B-52's dropped "Private Idaho" in 1980. It was a party favorite throughout the early eighties when I was in high school. The song also lent its name to Gus Van Sant's 1991 film "My Own Private Idaho", starring Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix in a tale about homeless teens in Portland, Oregon.

    Thanks for that one guys I loved it, really brought back happy memories. The B52's were really popular when I was in high school. My friends and I knew the words to every song they played on the radio. I can remember all the fun times driving home after a long day at the beach in the summer singing this song with my friends and doing all the sound effects. Especially with Rock Lobster, "down, down down...." :) I really enjoyed New Wave music and its sure fun seeing the B52's perform again, so young and energetic.

    OMG! The absolutely most wonderful, delightful, amazing band in the world! Been listening to them since the early 80s and got blessed enough to see them live! They are like NO ONE else! You gotta listen to the song "Quiche Lorraine" . It's their best song ever. Covertly, ironically comparing bad, freaky relationships to a dog that leaves his master and runs off with a Great Dane. Busts me up just thinking about it. 🤣🤣🤣

    The band formed in 1976 in Athens, Georgia. Their first album came out in 1978. Their album "Mesopotamia" was produced by David Byrnes of The Talking Heads. My favorite songs are "Quiche Lorraine", "Mesopotamia", and "Candy" (with Iggy Pop).

    DON'T GO ON THE PATIO!!!
    This song was basically a public service warning us of various household hazards:
    The dangers of hidden driveways, radium clocks, blue bottomless pools fraught with danger AND strangers, chlorine in your eyes, green lawns and essentially the entire state of Idaho.
    Once again, kids, remember:
    DON'T GO ON THE PATIO!!!

    The first time I saw this video (or even heard the song) was also the first time I smoked pot. The song and the video were so outrageous and weird that I actually thought the pot had been laced with Angel Dust and I was hallucinating. When I saw it the second time I wasn’t high, and the video and song were still totally insane.
