    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

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.

    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.

    Uma lição de simplicidade. Filmado com um orçamento que não deve ter ultrapassado os 100 dólares (já incluídas as perucas das meninas), o clipe é um show de despojamento - e de alegria. Que prazer é ver (até hoje, pela milésima vez) Kate Pierson e Cindy Wilson cantando “and heavy equipment… we’re in the basement”, como se elas estivessem tendo um orgasmo quádruplo qualificado! E o que dizer da parte instrumental ilustrada apenas com uma guitarra girando num pedestal, com as notas tocadas assinaladas nas suas cordas? Gênio! Gênio! Gênio!

The chorus of GIRL FROM IPANEMA was repeated often. Should had played a lottery ticket that evening. The summer sun set silently and the girls were superb. I saw the RAMONES, by luck, TALKING HEADS, BOWIE (2x), and BLONDIE by plan, but that soundcheck was my fav new wave/punk performance. Had a great evening even with my sperm donor in tow.

    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.

    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.

    Maio/2020, isolamento social. Nunca tinha assistido o clipe dessa música, não é uma super produção, isso deixa ele mais interessante 😊
