    "Love Shack" is a fun and upbeat song with a retro feel, featuring a mix of rock, pop, and dance influences. The lyrics tell the story of a place called the "Love Shack," where people can go to have a good time and let loose. The song also includes catchy hooks and a memorable chorus that is easy to sing along to.
    "Love Shack" was a huge commercial success for The B-52's, reaching the top 10 in several countries including the US, UK, and Australia. The song is now considered a classic of the 80s and is often played at parties and events. It has been covered by many artists over the years and has been featured in numerous movies, TV shows, and commercials.

    Great catch, Corey Ray!!!!!! RuPaul dancing in the crowd? B-52’s knew how to party!
    The male singer is being campy and funny. He can sing too.

      This wasn't their biggest hit. Rock Lobster was huge in '78/ '79, and Private Idaho was inescapable in 1980/'81. Not to mention, yeah, that's a young RuPaul towering over the band.

    Uniquely quirky was the B52 brand! They started out riding the new wave crest of art college, garage bands in the late 70s. They were cranking out hi energy new wave dance music until they teamed up with Chic producer, Niles Rogers who gave them their first huge crossover mainstream hit, Love Shack in 89. Most known for their insane 60s a go go, surf inspired Rock Lobster. They're definitely a fun time band!

    '89 was my HS grad year! In '91 they came to my college, University of Florida 🧡🐊💙, & sang at our outdoor stage. I threw down a blanket on a beautiful fall evening & B-52's, Eddie Money (Two Tickets To Paradise), & Corey Hart (Sunglasses At Night) sang. When Love Shack came on all us students stood up and danced. It was an epic scene. Good times

    The funniest thing is Olliwooda thinking that way of talking is from the 50s lol. It’s actually an imitation of gangsters from the 1920s and 30s. Old movies kind of popularized it. The B52s had more hits from that same album in the 80s, “Roam” was another huge one.

    My favorite fact about this song is that I was tending bar at the time, and whenever it would come on, the other bartender and I would drop everything and jump up on the bar or tables and dance. We were both 6'1" so I'm sure we were quite a spectacle, but we did get some good tips ; ) good memories.

    Not surprising that RuPaul is in this. Back in the late 80's and early 90's, right before he blew up. You would see him in Little five points in Atlanta and in Athens a lot, where the B-52's are from. I would see him all the time back then, at events and such.

    I probably saw this when it hit MTV but I don’t remember it. The song I remember. I had a ‘66 Ford Galaxy when it came out. I don’t know about 20, but I definitely had more than 7 in it. I couldn’t get away from this song. Seemed like it was playing all the time in the roller rink, bowling alley, arcades, Pizza Hut, anywhere with a jukebox. This or Red Red Wine or Wild Wild West. Brings back memories. I am thankful to be here and for you popping up on my feed today. Bless you and have a wonderful weekend. Oh Rock Lobster is another one that you may know, I know Family Guy has an episode with it.

    One of my favorite bands and one of the first new wave bands to hit the charts. They came out in the mid 70's and named themselves after the beehive hair style the ladies wore in the 1960's. They had a bunch of catchy if somewhat silly songs but they were a very good band. In the 90's they had an awesome album called Cosmic Thing. Some of their hits thru the years are Dance This mess Around, Rock Lobster, Planet Claire, Songs for a Future, Butterbean, Put That Beat in the Garbage Can and Mesopotamia

    Fun fact: the band grew to hate this song so much, they refused to play it in their concerts at some point. Why? Because it was on heavy rotation at all the radio stations and MTV and their prior songs were not or forgotten. Even now, most of their fans remembers them as 'Oh! It's that band with Love Shack!'
