[@kingbee1971]

Many moons ago, while living in central Europe, I was at a Halloween party at my friend's bar and asked to "get the party started" as the DJ had yet to arrive and the party people were growing restless. I played Rock Lobster and the place went from zero to absolutely insane. I lost count of the number of people who came up to me later in the evening and asked about the song. Love the B-52s forever. RIP Ricky.

[@DrScott666]

Ricky was the best and don't get enough credit. They lost their edge without him. I don't like the later stuff 🤷‍♂️

[@pissrat_8394]

Had something similar happen. Driving some people to a party, asked me to put on “hype” music (I was playing Jane’s addiction so I understand) so I put on love shack and the entire car started screaming the lyrics. Not as many people as a full bar but it sure felt like there was.

[@dt3sh]

This fucking rules, they were so weird and so unique. Ricky hammering the guitar, Kate playing the keys like she could do it in her sleep, the horns going bonkers, the three singers shrieking and wailing and dancing up a storm. They are a one of one

NOT ONLY DID HE INTRODUCE THEIR MUSIC TO ME BUT TO A WHOLE NEW GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE B52’s. SOMEHOW SOME OF THEIR MUSIC ENDED UP ON THE CLUB (SETS - MEANING DANCES MY NECK OF THE WOODS) SCENE BACK THEN. THERE WAS AN ALL BOYS CATHOLIC SCHOOL CALLED MENDEL HIGH SCHOOL MOSTLY AFRICAN AMERICAN THAT GAVE PARTIES IN THEIR GYMNASIUM EVERY FRIDAY BACK IN MY SENIOR YEAR. SOME OF THE B52’s MUSIC ENDED UP BEING ROTATED IN THEIR HOT MIXES BY THE HOUSE DJ PLAYING THOSE HOT MIX TAPES. WE AS HIGH SCHOOL KIDS WOULD FIND OURSELVES JUMPING AROUND THAT GYM HAVING SO MUCH FUN GETTING ALL SWEATY AND HOT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO AIR CONDITIONING IN THE GYMNASIUM AT THE TIME JUST A BIG OLD FAN. THE LATE 70’s and EARLY 80’s back in Chicago was considered the HOT NEW WAVE SCENE with ALL THEIR PUNK FESTS AND PUNK NEW WAVE SETS FEATURED AT THE LOCAL DANCE/DISCO CLUBS.
