The B-52's - Cake

The B-52's - Cake - Mesopotamia(1983)

[@myflyisopen.8732]

I'm a baker. I always do the dialog when I start cakes. Definitely a fun album and always in my album rotation.

[@roberthendrickson6505]

This album is so freaking great they're best in my opinion why this band is only known for rock lobster and Love shack is a shame there's so much more 🥰

[@rtqii]

IKR??? The entire album rocked... I wore out a vinyl copy and a diamond stylus playing this, dancing, stoning, rocking... And it never gets old... I have a good B-52 story... There was a guy across the street from my house who went to college in Athens Georgia in the late 70's... I was a few years younger, 14 or so. He came back from school during the holidays and he had these cassette tapes of the B-52s recorded in Athens nightclubs. My younger brother and I, all three of us, were dancing like manics in his bedroom listening to a cheap cassette player turned up to full volume and LOADED with distortion... We could not understand the words... But my GOD, the backbeat and vocals... This was one of the songs on the tape!

[@loulagramoula]

@@rtqii Yes! Love this!!!!

Cake. Wigs. Bushfires. Hotpants. Crustaceans. Egg Pie. Counterfeit Money. Distant Planets. Just some of the crazy awesome subjects explored by these pioneers in party rock. Made the 80's that much better...

Women's names, you missed one.

[@dylangatenby9928]

Probably the B52's most underated album.

[@JiveDadson]

Every youtube music video must have an "underrated" comment. "Underrated" is overrated.

[@oscarvarisco]

I read that.... now, beware ...let’s get this thing in the oven 🤣

[@gogoyubari366]

What makes you believe it's underrated?

[@dylangatenby9928]

@@gogoyubari366 Because it has not many commercially advertised hit songs on it if any. Good question though.

[@douglasbrown4893]

@@gogoyubari366 it was commercially unsuccessful and the critics didn't care for it at the time. On the other hand, a lot of B 52s fans really liked the album. It's kind of like the B52s version of Led Zeppelin's Presence.

[@NickRowsell]

... when the Girls start to seriously harmonise this track is dread ... it’s taken to another level

[@davidk8429]

you got it ! by f*ck !!

[@rtqii]

Kate Pierson is the best soprano vocalist I have ever heard until I found Annette Strean. If you LOVE Kate, you will probably like Annette Strean... She opened with Venus Hum for the Blue Man Group in Las Vegas and they recorded her singing Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" - Search on KZbin... Blue Man Group "I Feel Love" - The girl that is powering her dress with sheer joy is Annette Strean. A reincarnation of Kate Pierson.

[@jgrogan02]

Mesopotamia By far their best project...Materpiece

[@kevinshulhan5602]

In my opinion, correct!

[@sebastianhaff5402]

Yes, i support that

[@YooTuba]

It's my favorite too. The rhythms and harmonies are the best on this record

[@rtqii]

YES

[@danielmoore411]

Vocals are insane on this.

[@rtqii]

If you liked these vocals, find Annette Strean, Venus Hum... She opened for Blue Man Group in Las Vegas, and they recorded her singing the Donna Summer classic "I Feel Love"

[@yournamehere6719]

My prayer: Dear God, when I die, please take me back to the early 1980s. Amen.

[@YooTuba]

My favorite part is where they start naming off all the cakes and talk about the pan

[@ericorbit]

that's everyone's favorite part.

[@motownkid7382]

Thery d0lng this song live was the shit at the Fox theater in Detroit, The whole performance was on point was you there ??? MoJo on the radio back in the day 🎉

[@xyaqua]

God genius music, lyrics, voice and production. Byrne+B52s an incredible combo. hydrazine squared!

[@robscheps7722]

Have it on vinyl. Great record.

[@rtqii]

I wore my vinyl copy out.

[@loulagramoula]

Me too!

[@johnbrowneyes7534]

Still got my original vinyl album! 🎂

[@dmj49]

this song is so awesome. cindy and kate rock it.

[@dperry9406]

Truly

[@rtqii]

Still rocking it... Kate and Cindy were just recorded live this year and they look and still sound GREAT. Kate still sings a flawless soprano.

[@davidchouinard9268]

Kate and Cindy in a genre-transcending vocal pairing. those harmonies are...

[@scottruchok5243]

I got to see them in concert at the Sands Casino in Atlantic City back in the late 90’s, One of the best nights in my life

[@kevinshulhan5602]

These two women. OMG. I have had some of my most vivid fantasies, listening to them. BOTH of them, are so awesome!

[@duncanmartin-g8u]

je les ai vu un été au theatre antique d'Orange en même temps qu'XTC, à la fin des années 70, en ouverture de Police. Ils ne m'ont plus jamais quitté. Fabuleux groupe, musiques reconnaissables entre toutes.

[@adriancamano777]

Delicious

[@HughGotIt]

Kate's (or is it Cindy?) pronunciation of "Angel" makes me feel all funny inside. :) "How about an Angel Cake?"

[@gacysdad]

Cindy , ainja cake lol

[@rtqii]

Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson. Kate is a soprano, and Cindy is a contralto.

[@davidseclecticmadness]

My absolute favorite song by them. I prefer this 1991 album mix. It has more pop than the original track.

[@TuberOnTheLoose]

People don't buy music they've never heard. Where else are you going to hear the B-52's nowadays? They're not on the radio.

[@joshbarron3244]

[@teeth6556]

@burtonrules123 They also play Roam on the radio

[@blemelin]

I've been hearing "Roam" a lot lately. Maybe just a coincidence.

[@101Volts]

@@joshbarron3244 In Goodwill? Sure. Some are gonna be good, some are gonna be not what I'm into, but they can still be OK if I listen for long enough. Others are going to sound scratchy, and will only be good to cut up for use as a guitar pickguard or something like that.

[@joanpelpinosas]

Their voices sound so similar in this song that I had a hard time identifying who's singing what part.

[@gfunkk]

cindy usually does the higher and 'screamier' voices

[@johnbazy]

I was listening to this with half-broken headphones, and I didn't realize that the girls' dialogue would be stereo mixed, so all I heard was Cindy. It felt awkward...

[@joanpelpinosas]

you're not alone buddy.

[@MUPJC]

no party without the b's!!

[@autumnriley78]

lol "the b's" so funny!! I don't even know why but it tickled me haha

[@dominichetherington2287]

algo diferente you and me got good taste bro

[@rtqii]

If you are here and you love this tract vocalized by Kate Pierson... Please check out Annette Strean who is the vocalist for Venus Hum. Annette opened for Blue Man Group in Las Vegas and they recorded her fronting for both bands together onstage. She sang the Donna Summer classic "I Feel Love" -- Honestly, Annette did not cover this song. She stole it outright, then she unwrapped it, and wore it on stage. This 5 Star performance is on KZbin, you owe it to yourself to enjoy this... But you have to leave a like for Kate Pierson, Kate is in her 70s now and still has a perfect voice... The B-52s today retain all of their original sound, but they are all in their 70s now. Annette was the next generation, and even she is slowing now...

[@QueenofNonSequitur]

Had this album. Graduated HS in 80. Waay underrated their whole career. Still love em!

People that don't like this EP have poor judgement. This is a very intelligent production by the band and David Byrne. Everything about this music and lyrics is brilliant and far out. It is very cosmic. B-52s are in my TOP 5 bands of all time.
