    I'm 60 now and remember this song when it came out. I know why many cry when hearing this. It's a part of us remembering when we were young and life was much more simple then without a care in the world. And listening to this captures those memories and feelings because we live them. Many we knew back then are gone now. So I'm grateful to have those experiences. Because in the end the only thing we take with us when we leave this world is what is inside. Our experience as soul. Thanks for the post!

    • @WHJeffB

      Absolutely agree... Listening to these songs from the '80's is both uplifting and sad at the same time. It's difficult to put the emotion I feel listening to music from my youth into words and when you try, some people don't understand. I guess the journey and what brings us back is very different for everyone!

Good times that will live forever in my heart.

      I had no idea they WEREN'T in the Hall; I had just always assumed they were in it and I just hadn't heard about it yet or something. The B-52's were one of the premiere New Wave bands who went on to create a body of work that included several jems, including Deadbeat Club. The melodies, harmonies, the colors in the music, the purity, the texture, the polish - it's perfection... or damn near.

      This is the album that really made me a fan. This album kicked their careers up into a whole new stage and earned them a whole new generation of fans. What brilliantly inspired, super fun music. What an original sound.
      I saw them live circa 2007 and they rocked so hard! Keith Strickland might just be the hardest working man in rock 'n' roll. And with all the weird tunings and an endless collection of Telecasters, Keith's guitar tech is the hardest working guitar tech in the biz.

    3. Kate's Pebbles-inspired look. 4. Anything Fred wears!!! 5. Michael Stipe's cameo. 6. Kate's polka dot head scarf. 7. Cindy's perfectly lined 👀 8. Keith's adorable smile. 9. Fred's 💄10. I really just love this song.
    P.S.. Is that a picture of Keith and Ricky in the beginning? You know post punk/new wave's coolest guitar player is smiling in his Heaven over how successful the band became. And his influence is all over every song on "Cosmic Thing."

My favorite tracks from “Cosmic Thing” are ‘Dry County’, ‘Deadbeat Club’, ‘Love Shack’, ‘Roam,’ ‘Follow Your Bliss’, and I love ‘Rock Lobster’ too!

    The most beautiful thing about the B-52's is how they are the perfect band.
    They all LOVE each other. There are no periods where they didn't get along. No one was jealous of anyone else. They just carried on sounding great.
    That kind of band chemistry will probably never happen again. You can give me examples of bands with chemistry like this (there are few) but you cannot give me an example of a band with said chemistry that has lasted this long.

    It was the '80's. I was a teenager happy as a pig in shit to have my bedroom in the basement of my family home. My turntable regularly spun the extended 12" version of Rock Lobster and the song was a staple at my high school dances. I pretty much only knew their music. Finding any video footage of them was almost impossible, all one could really hope for was a chance encounter on MTV or Much Music and I never saw the B52's on that. The internet was totally unheard of. Still, the music spoke to us and me and my friends recognized a one-of-a-kind band when we heard it.

    When I was about 8 years old, I vividly remember sitting on our couch, watching this video on MTV, waiting for my mom to drive me to this little girl's house I went to school with, and lived about 4 streets away. I remember my mom was mad about something, running around the house yelling, and I was just transfixed by this video and song. I didn't understand what it was trying to say. I ended up going all through grade school and high school with that girl, and we drifted apart when we became teenagers. I found out over Facebook that she had melanoma and died in 2012. I remember she had lots of moles all over her skin when we were kids. I never saw her again after 1999 when we got out of high school, but I always imagined I'd bump into her again someday as an adult, and I'd get to talk with her about hanging out as kids. I really hate the whole concept of regret and unfinished business. Time just seems to slip away. Anyway, this song reminds me of that time, and of her.

It mentions going down to Allen's Bar...that is across the street from the school (which was originally a teacher's college, before the Navy bought the buildings and land) and we used to go over there for lunch, for sliders and ice cold beer (they kept their mugs in the freezer). We used to invite our instructors along, get them a bit mellow and get the bulk of our afternoon classes canceled to have an early evening off. Athens was a nice little town (screwy streets); but just don't go there on a Saturday, during football season.
