Cindy and Kate’s voices go together so perfectly, and the sound is so unique. You could just hear them sing one note in harmony and know it’s them instantly. Best female pop voice duo ever.
i love their singing, too, but your claim that they are the best pop voice duo ever might get some blowback from fans of abba, with anni frid and agnetha.
I agree - can't think of a female pop duo better than these two. Subjective of course - but that's unavoidable. Best male duo - personally I'd go for Simon and Garfunkel (more folk than pop though...).
I spent the 1980s on submarines. There was nothing better than coming home from patrol and hearing the latest 52's song. I'd crank the radio up and roll down the windows. My favorites were Roam & Love Shack
Sorry boys and girls there's truly nothing like this in today's Music..You can talk all day long about your Taylor Swift and contemporary cronies but their music holds nothing unique .. Thus I always think My Sweet Lord that I grew up in the seventies eighties and '90s when there was a real artistry and talent,
Totally, gag me with a spoon. Like ya know. It's, like, really nauseating Like, barf out Gag me with a spoon! Gross! I am sure! Totally! Frank Zappa & Moon Zappa "Valley Girl"
It wasn't until R.E.M. released Out of Time and the Shiny Happy People video was shown, that I looked for the female vocalist. That led me to The B52's of course and then I was introduced to Rock Lobster, Private Idaho, Love Shack and one of the greatest pop songs to come out of the 80's, Roam. What a brilliant, feel good track and Kate Pierson is looking resplendant in this ToTP showing. A mix of Belinda Carlisle and Peggy Bundy. Good times, great music.
I believe this is the ONLY B 52's song where it's just the duo of Kate and Cindy singing. Everything else includes Fred or just one of the two ladies. This quite frankly is just an awesome song! The music is great.
It's also one of the few songs they didn't write. Either "Roam" or "Gimme back my man" would have to be my favorite cuts of theirs. I saw them live once at the Palladium in LA back about 1981 or so.
@@Mishn0 What's interesting is the B52's wrote the music and Cindy/Kate came up with the melody. So it was really a collaboration and they had a big imprint on it.
Totally agree with you. A fantastic band and those voices are so distinct, nothing like it during that time. Yes there were other good singers around at that time but their harmony was so different and so perfect together. I love the B52's!
Sat here today aged 54 with a big fat smile on my face reminiscing about the great times I was having when this fantastic track was out ! Their voices have & will always stand the test of time ❤
dont forget that in the Love Shack video, the young ebony girl in the shorts is Ru Paul. I can remember this song playing while riding in the back of a Delta 88 headed to a dead show.
I have seen a ton of concerts in my lifetime. These guys were the most electric of all. Everyone danced the whole time. This is a great video but you just can’t feel the electricity in a video that you feel when you see them live!
@@bobgil3464 Beatles, Floyd, police, Genesis, Yes etc the list goes on of great bands but who is there now? Boy bands and pop idol winners that’s who. Maybe popular music is a finite art form that’s been over-mined and it’s become very difficult to be original?
With you there. My problem with them begins with "Love" and ends with "Shack". Hateful song that every wedding/party disco or covers band in the UK insists has to be played. THIS should replace it.....
This is my absolute fave tune by the B 52s!!! Timeless!!! I just cannot ever get enough of those girls,[KateyMcPherason] and that back beat!!!! Gonna listen to it AGAIN!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! OIr in the famous catchphrase of the late,very great "Macho Man" Randy Savage: OH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
One of the most unique vocal harmonies in music...seemingly at times they would sing at the edge of the their vocal ranges but always strong and clear and unwavering.
Just love this song. It's nostalgia but that does not detract from the quality of the song, the band, the two wonderful singers. I loved them then, I love them now.
You wouldn't believe a small town in Georgia, could produced two bands so different in every way ...The songs of the B52's and REM will transcend time ... Absolutely brilliant ...
They helped make up the group. This to me is makes them so awesome. The 3 of them singing is awesome. The two of them singing is awesome. One of them singing is awesome. This is what makes them such a great band and can stand the test of time.
One of my earliest memories is me in the living room, a foot away from the tv, watching this on mtv, dancing with myself. I would have been about 4years old.
Love the 52's...I had the pleasure of seeing them in the 80's at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago...Great show, I forget who opened....I love Kate and Cindy, major crushes here...

Both ladies of Abba are the best female voice duo
Beautiful. No one like them
Ahhh, best female duo, not even close, that goes to Agnetha and Anni Frid!

You did well to not drown, winding down the windows on a submarine. Respect.

Fun, well written comment. My path to Kate was slightly different. B52s, not knowing of her, just her voice, then to R.E M , then back to B52s.
They are the best of that time.check out the guitar tip
Love Belinda + Peg Bundy!
You are hooked the second the vocals hit. It's an amazing song.

Legal tender also but it was not as huge a hit as Roam. Still a cool song and the video is also.
The ladies sound fantastic here!

Don't forget Summer Of Love
great band, those two ladies in their primes were unbelievable. SO underappreciated.
Yep. They're amazing. Those close harmonies are superb.
Great band?

@@ulissesrocha3365 Yes,...Anymore questions?
I appreciate them had many a good party’s to their songs🎸🎸🎷🎺🎼🎹💥🔥🕺🏻💃🏽👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🤣🤣😂😂
One of my most favourite songs, live from the 80's. What a time! What a pair of voices. WOW
Definitely, a nice pair…..

The most underrated tamborine player EVER!
😂😂😂
BUT THE HIGHEST PAID TAMBOURINE PLAYER EVER!!! M.O'B
Geez Louise....this song was huge when late in my college career. I just turned 60 ! Time flies brothers and sisters!!!!

@@paulflynn2481 Nice, I was bridging both of those worlds at that time as well.
Are you related to Super Dave. The greatest stuntman to ever walk this earth? King if the road baby!
@@paulflynn2481 Not that I know of 👍🏻😂
The most charismatic front women ever. Beautiful 😍
I love the dancing by the lady in the red dress, proper 1970s 🥳🥳🥳
Proper 1980's genius...
What a tune. I just love Kate Pierson.
I Love Kate Pierson, Too!
Both gals rule.
And Cindy of course
She's amazing. To think she was in her 40s when this came out too.
I'm sweet on Cindy.
I love how Fred's just standing there like, No, this is not my song, and that's fine.
Personally, this song fills my soul with boundless joy!
One of the groups I regret never seeing in concert.
Major regret for me
Only saw the them like 30 times. All kind of crazy venues. Just so much fun 😊 always. Even as all of got old they put on a great show ❤
Kate is captivating!!! What a powerful pop tune.
RIP Ricky Wilson ✌🏼💙
I was a metal head in the 80’s, but would’ve went to a B-52 concert if they would’ve came close, because everyone loved Kate & it was a fun band...
Sorry: “in a metal band”...🤦♂️
I'm still in a metal band but B-52's are unbeatable.
These women made this group! I'm 62 and still listen to this tune.
Whoa!! Look at all that hair!. Great group overall . Wonderful song.
The 80's will never die 🎸👟
Kate Pierson at this age was just the perfect woman! I was a teenager at that time and I was like woooooooow... what a woman!
Crazy to think that they are in their 70's now and still performing.
Wow, I didn't realize they were that old.
I’m going to see them in Vancouver in August, cant wait . Last time I saw them was in Vancouver early 80s
Cindy is 65 years old (1957).
Mick Jagger will turn 80 next year
Cindy Wilson's only 65...
Cindy rocked it for me!!!
I have seen a ton of concerts in my lifetime. These guys were the most electric of all. Everyone danced the whole time. This is a great video but you just can’t feel the electricity in a video that you feel when you see them live!
This song is all as old as the universe. It has always been here waiting to be performed because the world would be incomplete without it.
So sad the old days of Great Music is gone. I miss them.
Yes indeed. Where's the quality gone?
@@frankierandle8779 unfortunately many to the grave.

Cindy and Kate were an awesome team!
A case of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts, Kate and Cindy's harmonies put a chill down your spine.
Girls singing is killing.
Their unison sounds so cool.
Sounds very British, stylish, a bit Punk.
Kate is such a joyful performer you can't take your eyes off her.
The 80's, the biggest hair, best looking women and best music.
And us 17yr olds in the middle of it all(best days of our lives and we didnt even know it!!!)
Ah yes, the hair that was killing the ozone. I think my girl was buying Aqua Net by the case.
I think that is the 90's
Yeah, the 80s was one big party!
FACTS!!!
Sone as I hear these 2 girls sing, I just get happy. Bout time, I'm old as dirt.
Kate is just a beautiful Kitty Cat, just love her moves in this video!
Couldn't appreciate them enough back then and now in 2021 they blow my mind. How did they come up with that? so much talent.
With you there. My problem with them begins with "Love" and ends with "Shack". Hateful song that every wedding/party disco or covers band in the UK insists has to be played.
THIS should replace it.....
@@andrewphippsphillips1455 there's a whole lot more to the B52's then these two songs. this was their comeback effort.
@@andrewphippsphillips1455 How can anyone think of a song like ‘Love Shack’ as hateful.
@@hastekulvaati9681 play it enough times and any song tries your patience.

OIr in the famous catchphrase of the late,very great "Macho Man" Randy Savage: OH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
I saw them in concert once and the harmony these two create sound like no one else. The unusual notes made the night so wonderful & enjoyable.
They won my heart in the 80s
It kept me alive in the 90s
Now In 2022 I wanna go back to the 80s
I love how Fred's just standing there with his tamborine listening to those two pretty girls with their angelic voices in aww!!!!!
Kate ... she was and still she is ... unbelievable woman & singer !!!!
Best female voices Ever!!!
Roam is one recording I never get tired of revisiting. So in love with the goddesses
What beautiful harmony. My favorite song from this band.
One of the most unique vocal harmonies in music...seemingly at times they would sing at the edge of the their vocal ranges but always strong and clear and unwavering.
Talking about complimenting each others voices... not enough credit for these two beautiful talented girls 😍
These two ladies with their combined harmony gives me an endorphin rush every time I hear them!
Me too! Love the harmony!
The vocals on this still give me the shivers. Wonderful band 💓
Just love this song. It's nostalgia but that does not detract from the quality of the song, the band, the two wonderful singers. I loved them then, I love them now.
Cosmic Thing has always been an album that brings in the summer each year. Played every year since 1989 & still love it!
That red hair is EVERYTHING! In the ‘80’s, that was my Sunday morning church hair! LOL!😅
Best B 52's song, period.
Kate and Cindy. ♥ Beautiful!
Always loved the B-52s - especially this song!
"Roam, if you want to."
"Thanks! I believe I will!"
Cindy Wilson.....My Goodness
Gorgeous girls!!! Beautiful voices ❤️
Two gorgeous ladies bring a lotta energy and fun flavored music and singing every time i hear it!! Truly a class act!
God I love this song, it makes me sooooooo happy.
These two gals really have it. A great catchy song ! Love it.
Kate such a beauty too. Entranced with her arm swing dance on this tune and her happy dance on Shiny Happy People by REM.
The voices fit perfectly, I love them, Kate is a queen
I love Katie! She’s a Goddess!
Quite a few of them in that band.
❤❤❤Thank you All The Saints in Heaven.Glory to Our Kingdom Heaven ❤
A capper song for an excellent decade for this band !
this song, this band, this era...incredible!
How the girls sing so beautifully together. Kate can harmonize with anyone. Love that they get this song to sing.
Great vocals from the girls the harmony is out of this world
Kate looks incredible at this gig. Love this group.
Some of the best harmonies in pop music
Fred just chillin' out there at the back
The B-52s ALWAYS put out FUN music!
Amazing how much these guys and REM influenced each other during this era
Simple music, beats, etc. But it's still MUSIC! Not some kind of autotuned garbage.
The definition of sheer exuberance!
Without wings Without wheels
My favorite from them. super message.
Those voices and the music , the B52's really rock
Another great song groovy baby ❣️❣️❣️
STELLAR 💫 SONG!!
So much better than Loveshack that assaults the eardrums seemingly every other day on Radio Wales.
Everything about this band is cool. Their name, their look, and especially their music
Great song, always come back to this when feeling down. Really lifts your spirit 😀
Yes
@@alexfernandohuenten1374agreed 👍
The best day of my life was meeting these 2 beautiful gorgeous ladies
This song is so upbeat!
Her voice still the same in spite of all these years that is awesome
You wouldn't believe a small town in Georgia, could produced two bands so different in every way ...The songs of the B52's and REM will transcend time ... Absolutely brilliant ...
What about that third great band from Georgia ? Billy pissflaps and his Argentine underwear selection
@@criaghuges4445 I remember seeing Billy on the "Skidmarks from Buenos Aires" tour in 93. What a band!
Got to love the ATH!
Love it 3/16/2023...
One of the most happy bands that have come across the pond (I'm a Brit). Never got to see these guys live so sick with envy. Therefore thanks for this
This tune came out the same year I started College. Never forgot it. These two women were fabulous! They made the group.
They helped make up the group. This to me is makes them so awesome. The 3 of them singing is awesome. The two of them singing is awesome. One of them singing is awesome. This is what makes them such a great band and can stand the test of time.
This band worked so hard to make it. Kate giving it all, what a joy. :-) xx
One of my earliest memories is me in the living room, a foot away from the tv, watching this on mtv, dancing with myself. I would have been about 4years old.
I have an autographed tambourine from their 2019 Washington DC concert!
I saw the b52s in Hammersmith just before lockdown. They smashed it out of the park. This song was just joyous!
For a band that's so American in so many ways, this song has a really British vibe to it. Incredibly eclectic band.
Love the 52's...I had the pleasure of seeing them in the 80's at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago...Great show, I forget who opened....I love Kate and Cindy, major crushes here...
32years ago sounds fresh
From seeing them on countdown rock-lobster they were always great fun.
My favorite B-52's song!!!
This Song Makes Me Want To Travel Around All Over The Country 🌠
My favorite B52s song, great band
B-52’s…. A very hip band and always enjoyed by everyone!
That’s my Ringtone! The kids on my high school track team love it!
Awesome band. Gorgeous ladies!
Cracking song.👍
