    Truly one of the greatest tunes ever. The B52s were way ahead of their time. I was only 8 when this song first came out but years later in August 2010 I was blessed to see them perform at the Coney Island bandshell (which sadly stopped putting in free concerts a year or 2 later). I was going through a rough period in my life and went by myself and when they played those, I danced like no one was watching - except for a friend of mine who I hadn’t seen in a year who happened to be standing right there watching in amazement. It was truly one of the best shows I had ever gone to and my spirits were truly lifted that night

      While his parts were often minimalist, it's not that which caught my attention. How his parts fit in so well, standing out yet also sort of in the background at the same time, and also his approach to strumming hard with thick picks and thick strings and weird interesting tunings and unusual guitar models, is what caught my attention.

    Without doubt, the best party band EVAHHHH!!!! You had to be an Aussie teenager in 79 to realize how 'far out' the 52s were. They opened the door for new age and punk. The 52s led the way in breaking all societal and music industry rules on conformity. They did free form and disinhibition first. They tapped into a creative energy that none of their peers did. Maybe Jim Morrison, Hendrix, and Clapton got into the same realm. Everything that has followed has been derivative of that schism that slid civilization into disarray.

    Rock lobster
    Rock lobster
    We were at the beach
    Everybody had matching towels
    Somebody went under a dock
    And there they saw a rock
    It wasn't a rock
    It was a rock lobster
    Rock lobster
    Rock lobster
    Rock lobster
    Rock lobster
    Motion in the ocean
    His air hose broke
    Lots of trouble
    Lots of bubble
    He was in a jam
    S'in a giant clam
    Rock rock
    Rock lobster
    Down, down
    Lobster rock
    Lobster rock
    Let's rock!
    Boy's in bikinis
    Girls in surfboards
    Everybody's rockin'
    Everybody's fruggin'
    Twistin' 'round the fire
    Havin' fun
    Bakin' potatoes
    Bakin' in the sun
    Put on your noseguard
    Put on the Lifeguard
    Pass the tanning butter
    Here comes a stingray
    There goes a manta-ray
    In walked a jelly fish
    There goes a dog-fish
    Chased by a cat-fish
    In flew a sea robin
    Watch out for that piranha
    There goes a narwhal
    Here comes a bikini whale!

While I waiting for the girl to come down for her Pizza I was watching the B52s perform Rock Lobster on the TV in the lounge. There were some girls there, they looked like sorority girls, and when the song reached the part where the band dropped to the floor and started flopping around, these girls all went "Ewwww!" It's one of my fondest memories.

      F.W. Roman.....100% Agreed. All negativity to these guys (Lily Pad) more than likely were not even born yet. Had to be living in that era to appreciate them!

    I have to say that this performance is even better than the official music video for the song. Just everything about the performance was creative, beautiful art.

    I played this song on my headphones during an IV session - my bad doctor found out about this and said I was manic and needed to be placed on meds. Please vote below.

    Too bad that guitarist died so young. I would have loved to see what he would have come up with later had he lived. You can't get more original and innovative than that as a guitarist!

    • @cathridge

      Ricky was an original. After he passed away, the B-52's were never the same. Everything after the Bouncing Off the Satellites album, just sucked. Cosmic Thing has one or two ok tunes. Channel Z is the last song with any real DNA of the original B-52 sound. But Love Shack just killed my love for this band moving forward. I cringe whenever I hear that song. So derivative, pedestrian and corny. It's everything The B-52's were not.

    • @neilmaika8098

      cathridge Absolutely he wrote most of their songs and did the bass riffs etc... Cindy and the band were broken when he died ... but thats what happened back then ... they were nearly all gay and sadly AIDs related disease got him .. but the B52s will always be one of my favourites in the late 70s early 80s when I was in my teens and 20s

      vracan the genius of the guitar and bass is kind of hidden behind the vocals. It's just brilliant.

  • @MattTerrell

    Such an underrated track, because of it's seemingly silly lyrics. The guitar riffs are killer and so is the groove. Genius song writing.
