@@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!!

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.

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.

@@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.

Oh my gosh -that little instrumental break when they stand still and Cindy slowly turns around and for awhile she’s just standing there looking at her brother, for a few moments. I’m wondering what she was thinking. I was so saddened when I heard he died, I know it must have broken her heart. I didn’t expect them to go on as a band after whammy. But I am so, so glad they did. We love you Ricky, Rock on in Heaven because it’s going to be a party when we get there!

Been a fan since 1978. This song is in the top 3 of my favorites. It is haunting, sultry, sexy, and so many other things. It paved the way for other new wave groups like The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, and Siouxee, and others to do songs like these.

How sad for Cindy, and all the band, when Ricky died. For Cindy, not only a bandmate, a big brother. I remember them well in this period, very few bands could come near to their talent, and they really struck a chord to us 'alternative' lot. There has always been a huge element of fun in their music, but Cindy really gets across heartbreak in this song. Their lyrics are spot-on

Because of their comfortability sense with themselves, I gained the courage to get voice lessons, along with learning other instruments. I owe this band my musical curiosity and extended vocal timed length in order to sing many arias confidently. Also, learning about space junk. Thank You B-52’s 💋💋💋
