This is the song that introduced me to the B-52s. I was in Brazil in 1985 meeting the family of my future wife and this song was getting heavy radio play there. I taped the song off the radio and must have played it 500 times . I sill love this song, the B-52s and my Brazilian wife I have been married to for 32 years. When I hear this song it reminds me of my fist trip tp Brazil and my introduction to the B-52s. It will always be special to me. Eu Adoro B-52s

I was a child in 85, lived in Rio, and I remember this music playing on the radio without stopping. by the way, at that time they only play excellent music on the radio
This song was such a big hit in Brazil that it was exclusively add to the Brazilian edition of the 1998 compilation "Time Capsule". I have the Japanese edition that comes with a DVD but it's a bummer it doesn't have "Legal Tender".
Ricky Helton Wilson would have turned 68 today, born March 19, 1953. Ricky died from AIDS. It's truly sad that so many gifted, talented artist' lost their precious life to this rarely talked about past global epidemic that has claimed 32.7 million beautiful souls. We miss you Ricky.
@@Edyth_Hedd There was also Klaus Nomi, died in August 1983 at 39. You might not have heard of him before, depending on musical taste. Klaus was a countertenor singer who just started getting attention starting in 1978, and who sang backup vocals to David Bowie on SNL in 1979. He was so early that AIDS was still called "GRID" ("Gay-related Immune Disease" at the time.

I listened to this song constantly as a youngster in a midwest town and felt almost scared to share it with anyone lest they not like it. I watch the video now almost 40 years later and I can still connect to that aspirational, confused kid who felt so energized by this.
Saw them on SON in 79 I think and it changed my life. I was scared to share as well but quickly realized that they were very likable! These guys and REM also made me realize you could be cool and be from the south🎸
This song came on my Pandora station today. I haven’t heard it in at least 36 years and remembered every single lyric. Totally transported me to a time when I was growing up at the beach in Jersey. Amazing.
Even in 2019, this has aged remarkably well! Has the styles of its time, but is still stylish. And it's so unbelievably positive and light hearted, it almost hurts... because this kind of attitude has become very rare these days.
It's true, it is rare I suppose but I truly believe what you focus on is your experience and this band will elevate you to super dance happy every time!
Essa música, aqui no Brasil, é HINO deles...ela realmente dominou aa rádios e programas de videoclip na época do primeiro ROCK IN RIO...na época estava entre meus 10 ou 11 anos.
I was able to meet them in Deep Alum Dallas and meet and get their autograph and Cindy and Fred were so cool but Kate was rude. Yes Cindy has a beautiful spirit.
I saw them perform at a University. I was hanging out in the hallway and Cindy walked by. She asked where the opening band’s dressing room was. I pointed to the classroom they were in. Cindy walked in and I heard her say to the opening band, “You guys were really good!” That convinced me she was a class act.
@@srhodes6963 not exactly. It was sheer hedonism, but the backdrop was nuclear anhilation. It was: let's have fun and be happy while we still can be. Not punk nihilism, but despair nonetheless, because there might not be a future. There's a dark edge. That shabby Southern chic and retro hairdos spoke of having little, being poor, and life being all downhill after brief youth. No future on both personal and existential levels.
This is one of favorite songs of The B 52s . I loved them and use to play them all the time when my boys where little . And now my boys are in their 40s and they love too. 😘
Ricky Helton Wilson would have turned 69 today, born March 19, 1953. Ricky died from AIDS on October 12, 1985. When I hear a B-52's song , the first thing that comes to mind is Ricky's guitar playing style. It was unique. He's gone but not forgotten..
I can't believe that 5.7 million people have good enough taste to listen to this song. My faith in humanity is restored. Not really though. Well maybe a little.
I always felt, if you listen closely, there is an undercurrent of a hard rocking song there. Much of this bands catalog had that undercurrent. Fabulous.
This is a fantastic song, with a brilliant video. Whoever directed this video is a genius. It really captures the color and vibrant nature of this band.
The integration of song and video is truly amazing. This is one of the best music videos ever. The way the video changes to the music, the new wave back drop, the dancing, the rotating table- innovative and unique- top notch.
Totally. This is one of the few fantastic music videos ever made. Really simple, really connected to the song, really creative, unexpectedly inspiring.
They made this album when synths were still analog and sounded great. A few years later it all got too clean but this was the sweet spot. Such a great single from a great band
I was active duty (full time) Regular US Army..(1979-1996)..when I was having a few beers at the "dog house," inside the Army Post ...when I first heard this song on MTV..television set. At the time I was only 18 yrs old. Army regulations states you can drink, under 21,as long as your inside the Army post. And I saw these 2 babes singing-Legal Tender...and they had the most beautiful and sexy voices in the world. That night, I kept repeating and repeating this B-52 song all night, till closing time. "I miss the '80s!!!

It's amazing how current the B52s still sound. The crystal clear production doesn't hurt, but they were right on point with so many of their trademarks. Like using kiddie or toy instruments--so many "indie" type bands do that now. I always loved how they snuck an awful lot of Motown into their sound, which back in the 80s, was grouped in with "New Wave", alongside fellow Americans Devo, and the Brit brigade of synth poppers like Bronski Beat and Scritti Politti. They were very image conscious, in such a fun and theatrical way, something that is sadly too often missing from today's "indie" types who wear the same understated thrift store "undercover cool" looks onstage and off, almost like they're too embarrassed to really go all out when it comes to a stage show. That distancing sense of irony; of trying to act like you don't really care--the B's were all about being giant goofy dorks and having as much fun as possible without EVER trying to be cool.
We're in the basement Learning to print, all of it's hot 10-20-30 million ready to be spent We're stackin' 'em against the wall Those gangster presidents Livin' simple and trying to get by But honey, prices have shot through the sky So I fixed up the basement with what I was a-workin' with Stocked it full of jelly jars and heavy equipment We're in the basement 10-20-30 million dollars, ready to be spent Walk into the bank, try to pass that trash Teller sees and says, "Uh-huh, that's fresh as grass" See the street pass under your feet In time to buy the latest model getaway Jeep So I fixed up the basement With what I was a-workin' with Stocked it full of jelly jars and heavy equipment We're in the basement So I fixed up the basement With what I was a-workin' with Stocked it full of jelly jars and heavy equipment We're in the basement Learning to print, all of it's hot, all counterfeit
+LitwinOnTour I loved their first 2 albums...for some reason didn't catch on to this album..but I think this is my fave song now..And love the video with all the wigs! Wish there were discos for mature people to go to dance to this awsome music!
+LitwinOnTour It's because it is modern. It was modern then and it's modern now. That's what makes it a timeless classic. IMO Whammy! was by far the best B52s album.
I remember thinking how on point they were in the early 80s with tracks like this one and Private Idaho. There was a lot of British New Wave taking itself very seriously at the time so it felt fresh. As a 13 year old, Rock Lobster seemed every bit as important as Bohemian Rhapsody...
Eu adoro esta musica dançante ouço ela direto dia e noite antes de dormir, eu tinha meus 21anos hoje tenho meus 58anos essa musica eu curti no ano de 85 .a gente quando é joven tudo brilha como ouro puro paixão saudades muito linda essa musica. Tenho até vontade de chorar com o tempo acaba a grande alegria fazer o que a Deus pertence.
Love this song. The first time I listened to this song, I didn't kniw a word of english but I just loved it! Watching the video and the band having so much fun, with all of the fabulous wardrobe was the best!
Love shack was a big 80s tune so a new generation found the B52s that way and didn’t really grasp the fact that B52s were already badass by the time they did Love Shack, Roam, etc. it’s just like now, so many new, younger generations hear a song and it blows them away and don’t realize it’s a cover. So many cover songs it would boggle your mind. Covers that if you looked into it you’d find the original song was actually from the 1920s or 30s, 40s or 50’s and so on. Song has so many different singers and instruments put to it that it’s an entirely new sound. Crazy. Needless to say though, the B52s have been out of this world since they began and so absolutely original that no one can out rock them.
Vejo no B-52`s , guardadas as proporções , um " Mutantes inverso " .. (2 vocalistas e 1 vocalista ) ... mas com a irreverência , o deboche e o despojamento peculiares da banda brasileira ...muito a frente de sua época , quando de sua fundação em 1976 e ao adentrar dos anos 80 ...esse clipe de 1983 é prova disso ...Gloriosa banda que ouço até hoje ...anima a minha alma ...
Putz, amigo, sinto muito mas B-52's tem um enfoque muito mais comercial se você quiser comparar com Mutantes. Bandas de post-new wave como o B-52's na verdade representavam um revival dos anos 50, como poderiam estar a frente de sua época? Abraço
@Mauro Sérgio Magalhães GandeMauro ! o b52's é um grupo que pra mim Faz Recordar o Blitz ( vozes das meninas) .. mas na proporção que seja um blitz elevado ao cubo(3) .. então raiz cúbica de b52 =a, blitz ..uma formiguinha .rs Alta Qualidade o cd party mix ... hi -fi hi-Q .. & show em QTG lembra a revista som tres ? caderno de musica lp's
Nasci em 2001, mas tive a honra de meu pai ter vivido a adolescência nos anos 80 e apresentar para minhas irmãs dos anos 90 e posteriormente para mim esses sons incríveis que para mim são um dos melhores do mundo. Sinceramente, embora tenham muitos trabalhos incríveis, para mim, nada supera o som dos anos 80. Incrível. Essa música foi uma parte da minha infância e ''por acaso'' em 2022 conheci outras canções dos ''Tutus'' que eu nunca tinha visto antes. Grupo talentoso, com muita presença de palco que me inspirou a criar várias melodias este ano 🥰😍

The 80's weren't another time. They were another world!
The 1960s and 1980s were both weird another time and another world BUT both iconic fantastic both produced GREAT unforgettable music.
Unfortunately don't come back anymore 😢
Best decade ever😊
Maravilhosos.
Essa música marcou a minha vida também
Sounds as modern today as when I heard it 29 years ago- just a great group that were ahead of its time. Makes you want to get up and DANCE
A lot of new artists are copying the 80's and rightly so, music had a hook back then.
Indeed
Love Cindy’s smile and voice. Makes me happy!
love her teeth myself
I couldn't possibly love Kate and Cindy any more 😍
They literally give me goosebumps when they sing together 💘
I love that this band has such a diverse fanbase, none more devoted than people from South America, Respect!
I went to college in athens. Ga. 1988. Best time of my life. Thank you B52s and REM.

I love eyes of Cindy, so expressive.
talita daniely I love her smile!
Sad babydoll eyes and an untamed voice- no wonder she set the feminine mood of the band as well as she did...
jorgecitoAZ she's mine
To big for her! I love her anyway!
Me too and The B-52's are so much fun; a Marine like me needs this!
This song is back in January 1983. It should have been on the Top 40 on the Billboard Magazine on week ending January 16, 1983.
1983!!!!!! Magic and amazing!!!
A shout-out to Denton County Brewing Company, Denton, TX, for having this one playing this afternoon!
These girls are from outa space. Glad they met. They have to be together for the B52 sound to come out.
Em 1985, quando tocava essa música nas festas...ninguém ficava parado, top demais !
It's amazing how current the B52s still sound. The crystal clear production doesn't hurt, but they were right on point with so many of their trademarks. Like using kiddie or toy instruments--so many "indie" type bands do that now.
I always loved how they snuck an awful lot of Motown into their sound, which back in the 80s, was grouped in with "New Wave", alongside fellow Americans Devo, and the Brit brigade of synth poppers like Bronski Beat and Scritti Politti. They were very image conscious, in such a fun and theatrical way, something that is sadly too often missing from today's "indie" types who wear the same understated thrift store "undercover cool" looks onstage and off, almost like they're too embarrassed to really go all out when it comes to a stage show. That distancing sense of irony; of trying to act like you don't really care--the B's were all about being giant goofy dorks and having as much fun as possible without EVER trying to be cool.
Waterstreet68- you really nailed it.
I am king of the Blues and I tell you this The B-52's are doing things that nobody thought of; brilliant!
This group is Theater at it's best! (that's the real stuff)
Je pense qu'on entend un Synclavier ou au moins un Fairlight, qui ne sont pas tout à fait des jouets.
Esse som de sintetizadores cheira anos 80. Clássico!
I could watch Cindy Wilson dance until I die. She's way too cool and cute for this planet
Agreed.
Eu também amo this her way dance
She came from Planet Claire.
But Kate too.
Love the 52s..especially in the 80s.
Nothing like a funny pop song about counterfeiting money and getting away with it! Still love this band after all these years.
Me too
Like all those gangster presidents
Oldbmwr100rs. B52 ROCK!! STILL LISTENING IN 2018!!
B-52s were fun and revelatory in their day in ways that are hard to overstate. Way better punk or music act than many at that time.
We're in the basement
Learning to print, all of it's hot
10-20-30 million ready to be spent
We're stackin' 'em against the wall
Those gangster presidents
Livin' simple and trying to get by
But honey, prices have shot through the sky
So I fixed up the basement with what I was a-workin' with
Stocked it full of jelly jars and heavy equipment
We're in the basement
10-20-30 million dollars, ready to be spent
Walk into the bank, try to pass that trash
Teller sees and says, "Uh-huh, that's fresh as grass"
See the street pass under your feet
In time to buy the latest model getaway Jeep
So I fixed up the basement
With what I was a-workin' with
Stocked it full of jelly jars and heavy equipment
We're in the basement
So I fixed up the basement
With what I was a-workin' with
Stocked it full of jelly jars and heavy equipment
We're in the basement
Learning to print, all of it's hot, all counterfeit
Muito bom o clipe. E ,pode tirar o chapéu, ela interpreta muito!!
Tnx for the lyrics!
Ghost 89 Thanks for the Lyrics!!
I always thought it was "We're stacking them against the wall, there's gangs of presidents". Now I must Google. 😀
Minha antiga conta
The B-52's 4 EVER!! NO one like them. PUT THEM IN THE HALL OF FAME!!!! WTF!!!! Love to Fred, Kate, Cindy, Keith and Ricky!!!!!
I wonder who/when someone told Cindy that she could use her eyes so dramatically? She’s magnificently expressive in such a subtle manner.
Pure magic in 2024! 💚💛
The best song ever about committing felonies..
Its amazing how a 1983 song and video look and sound like modern music does. We went full circle, or maybe just run out of ideas.
bitch ive been dancing since I wrote this comment :)
+LitwinOnTour I loved their first 2 albums...for some reason didn't catch on to this album..but I think this is my fave song now..And love the video with all the wigs!
Wish there were discos for mature people to go to dance to this awsome music!
+LitwinOnTour It's because it is modern. It was modern then and it's modern now. That's what makes it a timeless classic. IMO Whammy! was by far the best B52s album.
+LitwinOnTour Nah it's called timeless music!
+LitwinOnTour Out of ideas. Capitalism can no longer produce.
The B-52's...Two of the most gorgeous young ladies ..I've ever seen in my life. And I'm a man and a Playboy saying this.
kate and cindy, the foxiest chicks to ever grace an 80's video clip
Yeah, do they still ware Hola Skirts? that's my favorite part of the video.
running gun blues the B52s and Bananarama!
don't forget anna from bow wow wow
Wilson sisters were pretty good too
Dale Bozzio and Debbie Harry, but agreed with all of the above.
my absolute favorite B-52s song! :-)
For all the classics that everyone knows, this is still one of my faves too.
I love this video. The camera angles ,the looks on their faces... themselves doing their own little dances
I remember thinking how on point they were in the early 80s with tracks like this one and Private Idaho. There was a lot of British New Wave taking itself very seriously at the time so it felt fresh. As a 13 year old, Rock Lobster seemed every bit as important as Bohemian Rhapsody...
Anos 80. Melhor tempo em todas aa coisas e tempos. Hoje com tanta tecnologia e poucos avanços. Safra de coisas excelentes, o que não se vê hoje.
Eu adoro esta musica dançante ouço ela direto dia e noite antes de dormir, eu tinha meus 21anos hoje tenho meus 58anos essa musica eu curti no ano de 85 .a gente quando é joven tudo brilha como ouro puro paixão saudades muito linda essa musica. Tenho até vontade de chorar com o tempo acaba a grande alegria fazer o que a Deus pertence.
This was such a smash hit in Brazil, it's still THE banger in every cool party ever.
We're still in the basemeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeent!
Kate is like the energizer bunny in this video :D
ToyotaGuy1971
Riiiiiiight?! The camera can barely focus on her, she's a frenetic blur 🌪
@@Shteve67 Precisely!
Ricky. You will always live forever. Thank you.
re-discovering all these earlier, pre-Loveshack tunes has been a fucking revelation. Jesus fucking christ these guys were good.
Always preferred “The Ricky Years.”
Immediately takes me back to 1984 making fake ID’s to be able to get into a bar to see them play in Margate,NJ.
Yes it was awesome being a kid w a b52 shirt
Fred came himself to death
Right on
Lots of people down on this tune.I love it.It makes me happy.
Mellified Man no ones down on this tune
Love this song.
The first time I listened to this song, I didn't kniw a word of english but I just loved it!
Watching the video and the band having so much fun, with all of the fabulous wardrobe was the best!
Happy heavenly 70th birthday, Ricky Wilson.
What a wonderful group of performers! Still playing to this day.
underrated song from b-52's for SUREEEE
Essa música é um vício!
Todo dia venho aqui. 🇧🇷❤️
This album was fantastic and fun
Best song ever about counterfeiting.
Cindy was one of the most adorable women ever.
Love shack was a big 80s tune so a new generation found the B52s that way and didn’t really grasp the fact that B52s were already badass by the time they did Love Shack, Roam, etc. it’s just like now, so many new, younger generations hear a song and it blows them away and don’t realize it’s a cover. So many cover songs it would boggle your mind. Covers that if you looked into it you’d find the original song was actually from the 1920s or 30s, 40s or 50’s and so on. Song has so many different singers and instruments put to it that it’s an entirely new sound. Crazy.
Needless to say though, the B52s have been out of this world since they began and so absolutely original that no one can out rock them.
Vejo no B-52`s , guardadas as proporções , um " Mutantes inverso " .. (2 vocalistas e 1 vocalista ) ... mas com a irreverência , o deboche e o despojamento peculiares da banda brasileira ...muito a frente de sua época , quando de sua fundação em 1976 e ao adentrar dos anos 80 ...esse clipe de 1983 é prova disso ...Gloriosa banda que ouço até hoje ...anima a minha alma ...
Putz, amigo, sinto muito mas B-52's tem um enfoque muito mais comercial se você quiser comparar com Mutantes. Bandas de post-new wave como o B-52's na verdade representavam um revival dos anos 50, como poderiam estar a frente de sua época? Abraço
@Mauro Sérgio Magalhães GandeMauro !
o b52's é um grupo que pra mim Faz Recordar o Blitz ( vozes das meninas) .. mas na proporção que seja um blitz elevado ao cubo(3) .. então raiz cúbica de b52 =a, blitz ..uma formiguinha .rs
Alta Qualidade o cd party mix ... hi -fi hi-Q .. & show em QTG lembra a revista som tres ?

Nasci em 2001, mas tive a honra de meu pai ter vivido a adolescência nos anos 80 e apresentar para minhas irmãs dos anos 90 e posteriormente para mim esses sons incríveis que para mim são um dos melhores do mundo. Sinceramente, embora tenham muitos trabalhos incríveis, para mim, nada supera o som dos anos 80. Incrível. Essa música foi uma parte da minha infância e ''por acaso'' em 2022 conheci outras canções dos ''Tutus'' que eu nunca tinha visto antes. Grupo talentoso, com muita presença de palco que me inspirou a criar várias melodias este ano 🥰😍
Tenho 25 anos é as músicas dos Anos 80 são insuperáveis
Sixties is good, too.
I love everything about this group
Músicas que transcendem o tempo, que som que clássico! Me da um alívio em saber que sou dos anos 80, da época em que se fazia música boa!
mais uma relíquia dos anos 80. quem em 2020 ouvindo e vendo essa maravilha?
me!!!!!
Anos 80 foi uma explosão de criatividade em todas as áreas...essa década fantástica marcou a história da música mundial como nenhuma outra...
Eu
E verdade amigo eu amo esse som ✌️👍🇧🇷🇱🇷
Euuuu
Девченки молодцы! Меня порожали их чудеса на головах! Слушаю с удовольствием!!!😊😊😊
Maio/2020, isolamento social. Nunca tinha assistido o clipe dessa música, não é uma super produção, isso deixa ele mais interessante 😊
Muahhhh!!!
These guys made such great music. I want to go back to 1980 and re-discover them all over.
Pode se dizer q essa é uma das minhas músicas favoritas do B-52s ❤❤❤🎶🎶🎸🎸
O talento musical do B52s vai estar sempre como um dos melhores dos anos 80. Eles sempre foram muito talentosos e muito eles.
