I think that kate, Cindy and the rest of the B52's are the best antidepressant in the world.

[johnfire]

Kate and Cindy, the most under-rated vocalists in rock history.

[williampiniarski]

To this day, I don’t think those four know how incredible funplex was. It’s a masterpiece.

[MeMeDaVinci]

Hard to imagine...the quirky way they came together in Athens, GA, started to mess around playing whatever instrument, singing, writing songs. And to have become what they did, they are nothing short of amazing.

[slugstucker]

Best female harmonies of the 80's!

[sandramoeller]

After all the years they still give me goosbumps. Shivers up and down my spine! I am so thankfull to see them live in berlin a few years ago (the Funplex tour). Every time i feel sad, lonely or just down i tune on some B52s songs.. and guess what?! Bam, i have a smile on my face.

[BenPanced]

LOVE this song! One of my all-time favorites by the B's! The energy is simply pure and boundless, and the vocals are beautiful. A lovely tribute!

[chadd]

I couldn't love Keith any more than I do. He's brilliant.

[jedendwatrzy]

Kate and Cindy’s voices are especially beautiful during the line “Shell-shocked supersonic blonde
Hyperphonic female, dark sunglasses on”. Love it!

[ronaldnilson]

Pure B-52s musical joy - energy, melody, and vocals, it's all right here. My favorite recording

[charlesodell]

A few things worth noting: 1. These people have more talent in their little toes than most people have in their whole bodies. 2. Kate and Cindy are the sweethearts of my dreams. When I die I want to hang out with them at the bar in the sweet hereafter (and I'm saving a chair for Debbie Harry, too).

[zhungarianalatau]

Great homage to Debbie Harry, the queen of the punk / new wave era.
Grande homenagem a Deborah Harry, do Blondie.

[norwegianforestcat]

The part at 2:00 with Kate singing, "Oh Debbie, queen of the underground/Carrying a gold guitar/The show is over/My downtown baby/Is heading home singing a song...." is just transcendent 🤩

[robertoliver]

This is awesome.  This is the B-52s doing what they do best.

Debbie -- Lyrics ( haha .... love it!)

Radio operator to the tower
Debbie's comin' in for a landing
Oh put your head between your knees
Caused by the vibrations of love
They're about to shake me to pieces

Shell-shocked supersonic blonde
Hyperphonic female
Dark sunglasses on
Everyone is here to see
Her all-girl rock band

Vortex pulls me in
The vortex spits me out
Jet-eyed glitter child strappin' on a gold guitar
We witness the ultrasonic imploding exitation
Bodies exhausted in total elation

Shell-shocked supersonic blonde
Hyperphonic female
Dark sunglasses on
Everyone is here to see
Her all-girl rock band

Oh Debbie
Queen of the underground
Carrying her gold guitar
The show is over
My downtown baby is headin' home
Singing a song
She's walkin' alone
She walking down the block
Now she's comin' my way
As our hearts and our dark sunglasses lock

Shell-shocked supersonic blonde
Hyperphonic female
Dark sunglasses on
Everyone is here to see
Her all-girl rock band

Every day-every day
Just a little bit wilder
Every day-every day
Just a little bit tighter
Every day-every day
Just a little bit wilder
Every day-every day
Just a little bit tighter

[petergulmann]

I can't believe that Kate Pierson was 50 when they filmed this! She looks incredible!

[Mavisaurora]

Love the silky quality in Kate's melodic voice!

[AlexColberg]

B52s continue to impress after all these years. Brilliant song.

[venedenn]

Love the “everyday” chorus to end the song.
Absolutely rocks!!

[graeabarth]

Only just catching up with the fabulous B-52s after always loving Rock Lobster, Love Shack and Private Idaho years ago. It’s just wonderful discovering all these great songs at age 59😃! That’s what I love about music - there’s always something new to discover
