The B-52's - Legal Tender (Official Music Video)

[@sdean4816]

This is the song that introduced me to the B-52s. I was in Brazil in 1985 meeting the family of my future wife and this song was getting heavy radio play there. I taped the song off the radio and must have played it 500 times . I sill love this song, the B-52s and my Brazilian wife I have been married to for 32 years. When I hear this song it reminds me of my fist trip tp Brazil and my introduction to the B-52s. It will always be special to me. Eu Adoro B-52s

I was a child in 85, lived in Rio, and I remember this music playing on the radio without stopping. by the way, at that time they only play excellent music on the radio

[@redacted2275]

This song was such a big hit in Brazil that it was exclusively add to the Brazilian edition of the 1998 compilation "Time Capsule". I have the Japanese edition that comes with a DVD but it's a bummer it doesn't have "Legal Tender".

Klaus was a countertenor singer who just started getting attention starting in 1978, and who sang backup vocals to David Bowie on SNL in 1979. He was so early that AIDS was still called "GRID" ("Gay-related Immune Disease" at the time.

Ricky died after recording Bouncing off the Satellites. To be frank, after the band hit it big with their first album and maybe a little after their second one the band were living in New York state together by their manager's advice (which Keith later said was terrible advice) and moving from Athens seems like it deadened the sound. I still like some of the songs off Whammy and BOTS but Whammy sounds like it wasn't done with as much passion (either that or it sounds like it's half a demo album) and BOTS was due to lack of some creative input and the fact that Ricky was dying while recording it. It nearly feels like a funeral album with "Girl of Ipanema." The titles "Housework" and "Juicy Jungle" are more of Kate's and Fred's solo songs added in.

BEST BAND EVER!

[@waterstreet68]

It's amazing how current the B52s still sound. The crystal clear production doesn't hurt, but they were right on point with so many of their trademarks. Like using kiddie or toy instruments--so many "indie" type bands do that now. I always loved how they snuck an awful lot of Motown into their sound, which back in the 80s, was grouped in with "New Wave", alongside fellow Americans Devo, and the Brit brigade of synth poppers like Bronski Beat and Scritti Politti. They were very image conscious, in such a fun and theatrical way, something that is sadly too often missing from today's "indie" types who wear the same understated thrift store "undercover cool" looks onstage and off, almost like they're too embarrassed to really go all out when it comes to a stage show. That distancing sense of irony; of trying to act like you don't really care--the B's were all about being giant goofy dorks and having as much fun as possible without EVER trying to be cool.

Je pense qu'on entend un Synclavier ou au moins un Fairlight, qui ne sont pas tout à fait des jouets.
