@@tomward9140 They are far from kids and definitely not innocent. When you lose the most valuable thing you ever laid your eyes on and someone else has it the trauma makes you revert back into your inner child because that's all you know for sure.. you. Some wise man wrote a book about a pearl diver to make it clear for folks😜. Carl Jung and my honky Freud made it pretty clear. It's a sad song that makes me want to get up and dance(if I could walk)I'm not sure why your sentences are so short but I agree. You can tell by the look in all their eyes they're putting their hearts into it. The human heart is so beautiful when it shines. I can't help but think of the insecurities Cindy had to fight and overcome up there, but yet she's one of the most beautiful ladies I've ever laid eye's on growing up. Clair is beautiful by all the public standards but I always swooned when I saw Cindy! Such strong spirits, all of them! Unique and unashamed! A huge part of my childhood!! I hope you get that sentence thing worked out. Remember, soap boxes are inherently slippery things to stand on if that's what that was about. Not really sure. Highest blessings! You have great taste in music!!

There's so much to this band. Unique, space-age party music. Part nerdy, part not giving a fuc&. Part sarcastic. Hot women, cool dudes. All in for each other. Total team. For me, the tone is set by Rick, that sound, and he had no ego; in background, but his unique sound was the foundation. Strange lyrics that weren't absurd. Can hear their sound in so many bands that followed. Who wouldn't want to be young again and dance all night to the B-52's? Love them.

Then I went back for the summer to my family home in Maine, and every day I would ask the folks at the local head/record shop, 'is there an album yet by the B-52s??'. And eventually there was! :D

It´s about the desire to regain a lost love. The lyrics describe a woman who misses her partner and would do anything to be together again, even offering gifts like fish, candy and everything she has in her hand. The woman feels dizzy from the situation and feels that if she does not recover her man soon, she will drown in her pain. The song is a mixture of nostalgia, desire, and desperation to recover a lost lover. Good song. Love it.

2:38 "Why do you listen to them? You're the total opposite of that music! It's silly...you're serious..." That's what my friend asked me. She was confused why they appealed me. We were both friends and both Goth, Sherri and I. I was the B-52s fan along with Bauhaus. Sherri just didn't understand so I replied, "enthusiasm, whatever they sing they mean it from their gut. Cindy and Kate are infectious. I want a girl that pines for me like Cindy pines for her man in this song. I would do anything for that." Then I played the song. While the song was playing Sherri aggressively kissed me and our friendship became a romance. Thanks Cindy.

Check ouf a Japanese band called The Plastics. Were doing this same thing from about 77 to 83. The Japanese claim they were BEFORE the B52s. But it is true that David Byrne, of the Talking Heads, and the b52s helped The Plastics release two US albums in 1980 and 81. If you like the B52s you'll like them too.

@@darkwitnesslxx The Plastics formed in 1976, as did The B-52s, so they started at about the same time. But I don't think their guitar parts sound anywhere near the same. I'm not saying they're "bad," I can listen just fine, but they sound more like XTC's "Drums and Wires" album. The point is that guitar parts in B-52s songs are usually far more minimalist, while having hints of some unusual chords on one guitar - chords that try appearing like they're 2 different guitars instead of 1, even though 3 of their early songs from the first 2 albums had 2 guitars. And I say that as a fan of both early B-52s songs, and XTC. Kinda interesting that all 3 bands had officially formed in 1976.
