To say I grew up to this song is an understatement. My mom has a video of me dancing to this as a baby, in her arms, and pumping my little fist. I kept dancing to it whenever it came on the radio as a toddler. I learned the lyrics by heart around ten years old. I saw them in concert with my mom when I was around 15 years old and had a blast. I played it at my wedding and my mom and I dominated the dance floor. Nowadays, I have to stop everything that I'm doing to dance, sing, and truly appreciate this song for what it's worth! Love this band!

We played this song at my auntie’s funeral since it was one of her favourite songs. She and my dad would always dance to it at weddings whenever they had the chance. It’s a strange song to play at a funeral, but I’ve never seen so many happy faces at a funeral. People started laughing as soon as they heard it because they knew it was her song. I think it just reminded everyone of how great my auntie was, she really was one of a kind, just like this song.

I randomly met this guy on a cruise ship in the 80’s. He watched me dance, and would invariably find me and ensure that he and I danced to this particular song together. He was a fantastic 🕺 guy and 💃 dancer, but that was our thing during the entire cruise ( I was with someone else who knew that I was a trained dancer and was drawn to it so it was cool). The crowd seemed to love us dancing together, but it was always this song that led him to find me and get things started. I cannot hear it without very fond memories of him and that cruise. 🎶❤️🎶

[@kevindiaz3459]

Groove is in the heart, I feel, was really the last great 80's pop dance song. I know it wasn't released until 1990, but it clearly has that 80's style and was wrote and recorded in that decade. After that it was more songs more like snap's the power, or everybody dance now (cnc music factory), that style that kind of replaced that kind of music. I think it was called eurodance. Which I also dug, but I feel far more nostalgic for 80's pop than anything. I had to edit this because I mentioned a song that was actually from the 80's, buffalo stance by neneh cherry. Was released in 1988, but is a clear precursor to the 90's eurodance.

their voices do blend together so well. what I think makes the B-52s so good is that you hear they are having fun and that puts you in a good mood. I love deep serious bands like Radiohead too but when I'm in the mood to party I'd rather listen to Love Shack than Street Spirit. Music is a very emotional thing and I think depending on how you are feeling at the time you will want to hear different styles. It's like with movies. Comedy movies almost never win as many awards as heavy dramas but that doesn't mean they aren't artistically just as good

I think why this song is so good and well done and unique because before they hit it big with this they were pretty much an underground band or at least was seen as such even though they were signed with a major label for a decade. They never buckled to their managements advice to be a certain way with their music. They always were weird, unique, knew what they were doing, and just plain fun.

The entire album was another case of greatness coming out of tragedy. When original guitar/founder Ricky Wilson died of AIDS in 1986, that was it. The new guitarist who was the original drummer and Ricky's best friend, brought the band back together to start writing some new songs. They went to woodstock where they said many days they all just talked and was part of the healing process. What came of it was Cosmic Thing. Featuring other great songs like Dead Beat Club (one of my favorite songs of all time) Cosmic Thing, Channel Z, along with Roam and Love Shack. The album is a masterpiece and so uplifting.

[@DJREBELINA13]

Can’t agree more! Love those songs. 💃

[@JamieTheBangles11Fan]

The entire album was another case of greatness coming out of tragedy. When original guitar/founder Ricky Wilson died of AIDS in 1986, that was it. The new guitarist who was the original drummer and Ricky's best friend, brought the band back together to start writing some new songs. They went to woodstock where they said many days they all just talked and was part of the healing process. What came of it was Cosmic Thing. Featuring other great songs like Dead Beat Club (one of my favorite songs of all time) Cosmic Thing, Channel Z, along with Roam and Love Shack. The album is a masterpiece and so uplifting.

I was 13 years old when this song blasted the MTV Airways in the summer of 1989........

[@sicKlown86]

One of my earliest memories is legitimately being mesmerized when this came on MTV as the vocals and harmonies seemed so out of this world that I couldn't get enough. I'm fairly sure it got so bad that my older sister started hiding the remotes so I couldn't tune in to the channel anymore.

[@vibradiant]

Every generation has contrasting stuff. The 80s had some epic music & movies but also had the advent of HIV/AIDS (which killed the B-52s' original guitarist, Ricky Wilson) which was ignored by Reagan & led to long-term ostracism of victims, the funding of murderous militias throughout Central America, & some of the highest homicide rates in US history.

How did HIV make the homicide rate go up? Are you confusing homicide with the number of deaths in general? /No sarcasm

So love this song, but the “love shack” reminds me of this. In high school, me and my friends took four six by sixes put them in buckets, then wrapped a tarp around them and over top of them. Middle of the woods. It was 420, and were all in there, maybe 20 of us. Smoking away. All the sudden, a cop walks in the door. The funniest thing, was that instantly, everyone started throwing their weed around the room, because they didn’t want to be found with it on them. Yeah we all got arrested. When we got to school the next day, welcomed as heroes. 😂
