Excellent. Brings back memories. Anyone hating this was just not there when it came out and has no f***ing idea how music was back then and how radical/new/refreshing the B52's sounded at that time. So much different music back then that beat the crap out of the same-y cookie-cutter rubbish produced today. Music back then was free and experimental and fun, and nobody was obsessed with being a celebrity. They were just doing what they loved in the way they wanted to do it, and if they got a bit of success it was a bonus. Man I miss those days. So many different bands on the scene and all original and unique in their own way.

The only group in the world that can sing an absolutely ridiculous song with a straight face and get away with it. Saw them in the 80's at the Club Casino in Hampton, NH and the crowd went nuts, dancing uncontrollably, turning over tables to make room and loving it...band kept straight faces through the whole thing, these guys/gals rock! Kate and Cindy wore full beehives back then too.

I absolutely love this. Such memories of my youth. 1980. I was 19 years old at the time. Now 58 years old. Where did the time go?

[oggearhound]

Fred looks exactly like his voice sounds..

[tomthebomb]

Kate and Cindy's harmonies are the stuff of legends!!

Being Different, Quirky, Original, Pretension.
Late 70's/Early 80's were the Best!

This takes me back to when I was 12, and my primary concern was finding the money to buy batteries for my ghetto blaster so me and my mates could rove around the streets of Portland, Dorset, England, listening to this and Devo at full volume. <3

The music industry's cardbord Mouseketeers will never achieve this pure creativity. We will always love the B52's.

[arthurtrauer]

The B52’s were so outrageous, I loved them.

[sseim]

It is my own opinion that Cindy Wilson is one of the most underrated female singers of the modern era.

[clutch]

Ive been a musician for over 40 years and my level of respect for the b52s is of the charts. They're on god level.

[CR-mpnt]

Thank you B52's for not taking yourselves too seriously!

[atomsmash]

They were all so young, yet immensely talented. This was "must have" music for any legit high school/college party in the 80s!

[stray]

I was teased in high school for liking the B-52's way back in the early 80's..now everybody loves their music. Still love em....

[ronditchen]

I absolutely love the B-52s I love them when I was a teenager and I love them and I'm an old man they never get old I listen to the music all the time I turned a lot of people on to their music to my daughter I danced with my grandkids to Rock Lobster

[newwavepop]

i get gahdamn freakin goosebumps whenever Cindy and Kate harmonize.

[jimcatalfamo]

one of the most creative bands of 70's & 80's, bands like the B-52's, The Cars & Devo should be in the rock hall of fame. songs like Private Idaho and Dance This Mess Around still get me rockin. they are so much more than Dance-Rock

[RedPixel]

still as awesome as when it came out...this is 2019 and this song still rocks

[thebidden]

The Surfrajettes brought me back to this classic, the B-52's are a band that traveled from the 60's to the future and came back in time again 😎

[superbatfirenze]

the dynamics between the singer and the two girls is amazing...they got fantastic voices, crystal clear and powerful
