    Back in the 80's, we all laid down on the dance floor, as soon as he sang that line, " down, down, down"...
    Only to jump back up once the beat started again--- it was a blast!!
    Ridiculous song, but it's a blast for dancing!

    This was great. Some people don't get the B52's but, you got it instantly!

    It's called performance art.
    What a fantastic fun rabbit hole of contemporary punk!

    The two girls singing was inspired by Yoko Ono‘s type of singing and John Lennon absolutely loved this song!!!

  • @robertpetre9378

    It’s definitely inspired by 50s rockabilly, but also it has that 80s silliness and catchiness that is great to dance to.

    In 1979, my clock radio went off, but instead of waking fully, I ended up with a crazy dream. Moments later, I woke to this song. Explains that dream!

    Surfer guitar riffs and wild vocals. Dance floor filled to capacity. Everybody's doin' the Mashed Potato, the Pony, Fruggin' all of that. Danced till I dropped. Vocal acrobatics are their specialty. Try Private Idaho or Mesopotamia.

    @erickent3557 Рік тому +4

    You crackin' up like that means you get it :). B-52s are like '50s & '60s UFO, Monster, and Beach Party b-roll movies rolled into a band.

    Even us punk rockers loved B-52's .. such big hair! check Roam for amazing harmony and a good riff

    I think with certain songs it is nearly impossible to appreciate just how new and fresh they felt. Those moments when you hear something that has never been heard before. This album was one of those moments. When new wave and punk hit, there were several of those moments.
    If you're looking for a great old SNL sketch, check out Gilda's Candy Slice, a spoof of Patti Smith.

    The harmonies of Cindy and Kate are some of the best ever in pop music - Roam - Deadbeat Club

      Also, a great song for Cindy: Give Me Back My Man.

    Love Shack would probably be a better introduction to B52s. This group was unlike anything before. They actually go back to the late 70s. They got the attention of John Lennon of the Beatles,, who loved experimental music. Also, the wailing from the females in this group was like sounds made by John's wife, Yoko, several years before B52s hit the scene. I believe Yoko sang with this group in the 80s.

  • @christophermorris7616

    Phenomenal, band 🍃 you must search out their late 70’s early 80’s live club performances. Every song is brilliant. I had the opportunity to see them live in 1980. If you didn’t know how to dance or even like to dance, seeing them live in a club. Ohhh my you will dance 🍃

  • @dipsydoodle7988
    @dipsydoodle7988 Рік тому +6

    This is quite the rabbit hole. Some songs will be more mainstream than others. Earlier B's are super quirky like Rock Lobster. Anything off of Cosmic Thing will be more mainstream. I've seen this band live more times than I can count. They are musical giants, but don't ever expect that the lyrics wont be silly or quirky or that it wont be a big ol party. I know of only ONE B-52s song that is serious. That would be Ain't It A Shame. Beautiful song too. Me personally, I wish you'd react to Big Bird live from Germany next. After that, it depends on what you want first..quirky early B-52s or more polished, "mature" B-52s. Something to keep in mind with early. B's, there was no bassist. If you hear bass it is Kate Pierson (keyboards, yellow shirt) simultaneously dropping basslines, keys and complex vocal harmonies.

    @chrissiegle1065 Рік тому +3

    Way back in the 70s, when the punk scene first started, these guys and the cramps kind of split off from the rest. Both had a rock-a-billy influence mixed with a late night sci-fi monster movie sound lol... the b-52s used less rock a billy and added some surf influence... Great bands... but you have to be in the mood lol.. Great 80s dance floor memories.. Great reaction. Thank you 😊

  • @RocketDaveA

    Such a fun song. Loved your reaction! They have a lot of great songs. I suggest you check out "Private Idaho".

  • @wildsarsaparilla
    @wildsarsaparilla Рік тому +2

    Not deathless Art, just pure unadulterated silliness. If a DJ back in the 80's wanted to fill the dance floor, this was played. I know; I was there.

  • @garagepunkfan
    @garagepunkfan Рік тому +1

    Private Idaho, Mesopotamia, Planet Claire, and, for sure, Dance This Mess Around are essential B-52's tracks.

    @mr.knowitall6440 Рік тому +1

    Yeah the B-52s were a whole thing unto themselves.
    Nobody did what they did.
    Their songs tend to be influenced by 50's Sci-Fi and Surf music. But they created their own sub-genre within the New Wave scene. 🤙😎

    Great reaction Bizmatik! My love for this band is endless. Their concerts were the most fun! They are from Athens GA and have been together forever. I love Stroblight, planet Claire, 52 Girls, Dance this Mess Around and so many more! I would love to see you react to more❤

  • @politicaltroll8920

    She sings like Yoko Ono with those animal noises. John Lennon and Yoko actually got really excited when this came out and it inspired John to start making music again before his death

    The girls' mics are running a little hot (loud). Normally, Fred is the foreground vocal for this song, and they're singing back up. But yeah, it was a crazy dance party song in the 80s

    Many interesting bands today and entertaining reactions. First: yes many fish make noises but not all. A few in fact even communicate with sounds For lobsters I am not sure. Otis Redding, 10cc, and B-52s are all three worth spend some time on. For B-52s you got it right: skilful people making stupid songs similar to nothing else. "Planet Claire" (with video 4:38 long) is in all respects weird. "Love Shack" is happy party music á la the 80s.

    Great reaction Biz!! Give Love Shack from the B52's a listen. I think you will like it even better than this one. I told a friend a while back that I knew I was losing it, because I was beginning to actually like the B52's music. I am very concerned that I might start listening to more Frank Zappa. Just kidding, I like Franks music, but it is very different.

    I've always loved this band and this song. And they ARE hilarious, that's part of the point: having fun, partying, and not taking yourself too seriously. But this particular video sucks balls. Sorry 🙂 There are better versions both in terms of sound quality and video quality. BTW I recently heard this song inspired John Lennon to record what turned out to be his final album.
