Who is The B-52s

Supriiiiiize! paaaaaarty!
Yeah, we just thought we'd drop in!
Where's your icebox?
Where's the punch?
Ew, house-a-tosis!

Who's to blame when parties really get out of hand?
Who's to blame when they get poorly planned?
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo-ooooooooo.

Crashers get bombed, slobs make a mess.
Ya know sometimes they'll even ruin your wife's dress.
Crashers getttin' bombed. (who's to blame?)
Can you pull it back in line?
Can you salvage it in time?

What can you do to save a party?
Parcheesi? charades? a spur-of-the-moment
Scavenger hunt, or queen of the nile? (wooooooooooh!)
Who turned out the lights! (wooooooooooh!)

Bombed, crashers gettin' bombed
Crashers gettin' bombed, bombed, bombed, bombed, well who's to blame?

Who's to blame when situations degenerate?
Disgusting things you'd never anticipate?
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo-ooooooooo.

People get sick, they play the wrong games.
Ya know, it can ruin your name!
Crashers gettin' bombed. (who's to blame?)
Can you pull it back in line?
Can you salvage it in time?

Woooooooooooh!
It shouldn't be difficult!
Try not to condemn!
O.k. who ordered pizza?
I'll be tactful when making the rounds
Be tactful when making the rounds
And maybeee you can save a parteeee.

Party gone out of bounds!
Gone out of bounds!
Party gone out of bounds!
Gone out of bounds!

For one thing, you just can not listen to a B-52 song without getting happy. No matter what else is going on in the world, B-52's music can make it all feel better again. You can have the saddest little pouty face on and as soon as any one of the B-52's hit songs comes on, you're feet start to tappin', your fingers start to rappin', and suddenly you're dancing around the room with a huge grin on your puss. Well . . . That's what always happens to me anyway!

Another reason I love the B-52's is that their music is the absolute best thing to listen to if you've got a lot of housework to do. They make the time fly and housework almost begins to feel like FUN. (Note: I said almost!)

I could go on and on about how much I love the B-52's but don't worry, I won't. I'll just give you one more reason that I love this group. I saw them just about 2 years ago, in concert, and they were just as good as I remembered them from back in the 80's. They haven't lost a thing!

If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says
15 miles to the... love shack! love shack yeah
I'm headin' down the atlanta highway, lookin' for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale and we're headin' on down
To the love shack
I got me a chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money
The love shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love shack baby, love shack bay-bee.
Love baby, that's where it's at, ooo love baby, that's where it's at

Sign says.. woo... stay away fools, 'cause love rules at the love shack!
Well it's set way back in the middle of a field,
Just a funky old shack and i gotta get back

Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway

The love shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love shack baby! love shack, that's where it's at!
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin', wearin' next to nothing
Cause it's hot as an oven
The whole shack shimmies! the whole shack shimmies when everybody's
Movin' around and around and around!
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Folks linin' up outside just to get down
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby
Funky little shack! funky little shack!

Hop in my chrysler, it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail!
I got me a car, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money.

Bang bang bang on the door baby! knock a little louder baby!
Bang bang bang on the door baby! i can't hear you
Your what?.... tin roof, rusted!

Love shack, baby love shack!
Love baby, that's where it's at
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin' at the love shack
