Lyrics:
If you see a faded sign at the side of the road that says
"15 miles to the
Love Shack"
Love Shack, yeah, yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway
Lookin' for the love getaway
Headed for the love getaway
I got me a car that's as big as a whale
And we're headin' on down to the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler that seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money
The love shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack, baby (a-Love Shack, baby)
Love Shack, baby, Love Shack
Love Shack, baby, Love Shack
(Love, baby, that's where it's at)
Sign says (woo!), "Stay away, fools
'Cause love rules at the Love Shack"
Well, it's set way back in the middle of a field
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back
Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the highway
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack, baby (Love Shack, baby)
Love Shack, that's where it's at
Love Shack, that's where it's at
Huggin' and a-kissin'
Dancin' and a-lovin'
Wearin' next to nothin'
'Cause it's hot as an oven
The whole shack shimmies
When everybody's movin' around
And around and around and around
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin', baby
Folks linin' up outside just to get down
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin', baby
Funky little shack
Funky little shack
Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail
I got me a car, it seats about 20
So come on and bring your jukebox money
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack, baby (a-Love Shack, baby)
Love Shack, baby, Love Shack
Love Shack, baby, Love Shack
(Love, baby, that's where it's at)
Bang, bang, bang on the door, baby
Knock a little louder, sugar
Bang, bang, bang on the door, baby
I can't hear you
Bang, bang on the door, baby
Bang, bang on the door
Bang, bang on the door, baby
Bang, bang
Your what?
Tin roof, rusted
Love Shack, baby, Love Shack
Love Shack, baby, Love Shack (Love, baby, that's where it's at, yeah)
Love Shack, baby, Love Shack (Love, baby, that's where it's at)
Love Shack, baby, Love Shack
Huggin' and a-kissin'
Dancin' and a-lovin'
At the Love Shack

Getaway
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.
It would be nice if funerals could become more of a celebration of ones life.
@@Sassyglbeauty yes this definitely was that! It was really beautiful to see people celebrating her life more than mourning her death
I love that. That's such a nice thought. Everyone will smile when they remember that.
This is a really beautiful post. What more wonderful celebration of her life than to have everyone dancing and smiling while her favorite song played.
@@jez2466 thank you! I really hope so :)
The fact that you looked up this song and are scrolling through the comments makes you cooler than most people.
Thanks for the compliment. 😁
Thanks
Damn right we're cool.. that's obvious
We are all that and a bag of chips. ;P
Yay. I'm cool 😎
The B-52's absolutely deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Such an incredible band. Their music never goes out of style.
Yes I agree 👍💯
yes yes and yes🥰🥰😃😃😋
That's "EVER" xx
I agree
They make John Lennon go back to music... true story
Whose still jamming to this endless hit from back in the day here in 2024!?!?
ME!🎉❤
Me too!!!!!💃💃💃💃💃
35 years ago... time flies when you're having fun?
Me me and triple me.
😂🤣😅😆😁❤
💪💪
Fred's voice with Kate and Cindy's harmonies are pure joy.
Yes I agree 💯 and great group
Kate's ability to harmonize with other singers is absolute joy!
@@WaynesWorld69 and she's hot!
It’s John Mulaney
I like living in my own private Idaho. Eating rock lobster lol
The girls’ voices are so seamless together. They’re so similar in quality, they sound like the same person singing different harmonies. I can’t even describe it but it’s so smooth.
Loro si randellano a cerchio in alto in 3=voi vi inchiappettate tre misti = tantissimi tris
it just stops you in your tracks and realise..hey.. suddenly I feel "sunshiney happy fucking day ahead"".. get on it often!!
@@massimilianopadrini4120❤❤
Yeah, you mean their tonality and blending of octaves
@@ResidentRaccoonThis makes Sense ❣️❣️
Thanks to everyone who keeps the b52s legacy Alivie my mother is a distant relative of Ricky and cindy🎵❤
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’m 53 years old and have been listening to the B-52’s since I was about 16 years old. I was today years old when I realized that RuPaul was in this video. 😮
I just came to see Rupaul due to seeing a article on Facebook. Never noticed she was in the video before x
I read that RuPaul was in this video so I had to rewatch to check it out and lo and behold.😂
Yes came here looking for her😂
I was just looking at the Wikipedia page for Rupaul and it said she was in this music video so I had to check it out
I recently watched a documentary about Ru and I'd forgotten he's in this, too. I'm 56 and this was one of my favorite songs in college.
I don't understand how anyone could resist the urge to sing along to the "bang, bang on the door baby" part.
👍🌝
Bang Bang!! yup
Tbh id sing along the whole song if id memorized the lyrics.
Honnn route - rustling!
Easy
What i love the most about the B-52s is that you can actually PHYSICALLY HEAR them having fun while performing! Like you can "hear" them smiling through their vocals! The way they enunciate words and harmonize wouldn't sound like it does if they weren't opening their mouths the shape of a smile
What a good band and how fantastic most of their catalog is, a true gem that will never age poorly
With out auto tune ❤ 🎶❤️
I now right
@@bebeautiful6613 listen to "Candy" it's Miss Kate with Iggy Pop Awesome!!!!
no 💩 @@bebeautiful6613
Exactly! You can actually hear the smiles in the vocals.
The women in this group could sing their asses off.One of the greatest songs to ever be put on record.The stars aligned when they made this. :) Perfect.
+Courtney About as good as a dead cat. Am I right?
+Mike Hunt No, it is that good
+Courtney The entire album is that good!
+timmmahhhh Cosmic Thing is amazing album easily one of the most overlooked/underrated albums eve along with most of their discography..but this album was just ahead of it's time and forever one of the best albums I have ever heard.
+Mike Hunt Yeah, it is that good
It's sad to say we're never going to see music produced like this again bring back the 80s
My gf introduced me to this album when we started dating. The whole album was great. The gf? We have been married 30yrs today.
Congratulations, man!
gg
Cool!
Nice! Congrats man!
Wow nice
this song is proof that good quality music never gets old.
Yes,indeed!
I wanna burn this song alive
ATL
true
Try saying that again, after hearing it 10 times a day Mon-Fri because your coworker only plays the same 20 songs on repeat.
One of the greatest pop songs ever recorded. This thing rocks every single time
It's a mixture of pop and rock
Absolutely it's a phenomenal pop song, they don't come much better
Itz a rap song
@@deezkemet31 hah don't think so. Far too intelligent lyrically
Plus it´s stupid and funny as hell.
My little brother and I listened to this song every time we worked in the garden. We would take our garden hoes and click them to together and start dancing! He passed away at 27. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of him. Luv you Brian❤
Sorry for your loss.😢
Auh so sorry . What a beautiful fun memory . ❤
So sorry.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Thanks for sharing your story. Great memory!
This is what I imagine John Mulaney sounds like when he sings
Oh my word😂 Yessssss!!!!!
Darkus Smitty 🤣🤣🤣
Bahahahaha. Fuckin John mulaney. He’s the shizzzz. 🤣
I saw a tweet that said the same thing and I haven’t been able to function ever since
Bro😭
The thing that I love about the B-52s is that on all the recordings, videos, and even live, they seem to be having the most fun of anybody there, which really translates into the feel of their music. If you look at Fred throughout this entire video, he's dancing, making fun faces, and basically having a blast, even when he's just kinda in the background. The most fun band ever, by far.
HardBoiled
LOL! To see them having such a ball...it's CONTAGIOUS!
I couldn't agree more! Love Fred.
You should check out Voice of the Beehive. Another 80s band that, unfortunately, never made it as big.
Couldn't agree more, fun is fab
I heard The B-52’s a bunch as a kid but never actually looked up any of their music videos. I am blown away by how much the three singers *look* exactly as they sound. They all look exactly like I imagined. My mind is blown!
Real music for ❤
Omg fr
it's all about the music
Saw them live at the Hollywood Bowl in the early '90s and absolutely one of my fondest rock band memories. If they can't make you dance, you must have amnesia. ❤❤❤ to the B-52's.
We need fun music like this again this world is getting to depressing 😭
Totally agree
Word
too depressing. only happy songs are years ago
Damn straight
I agree we need more up lifting FUN music I was walking up the shops
listening to music I was dancing I got a few toot toots I had a lot of fun
doing that!
2:00 ur welcome my loves x
this is not gonna become a tiktok song 😓
@@leiadozier1599 it is. And it’s fire.
thank you for your service
@@leiadozier1599 too late
@@leiadozier1599 lol imagine hating tik tok for no reason in 2021
They always look so damn happy when they are performing. It's contagious and you cannot be sad listening to the B52s
Happy Tune. I love the Girls Smiles.
Well it's a Love Shack 😘 Baby 🤣
It makes me happy to read all the happy comments as I listen to this happy song!
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!
I used the sing the end of the song when I was at my dad's (or so he's told me), the “bang bang bang”.
My four year old is having a little dance as we speak ❤️🙌🙌
Mom's know best
This song was on my little tykes toy piano.
Holy shit I'm sorry to Glaze here, but what a Legendary story, I do have a similar story but to a MUCH lesser effect. That being said I LOVE this so much, growing up with this as you stated is still an understatement, I'm happy you shared this story with us, it's genuinely beautiful.
Just occurs to me, the B-52s really book-ended the 80s - - Rock Lobster at the beginning, and Love Shack at the end, with tons of awesomeness in between.
the only thing good about the 80s.
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.
What a pretty woman ,hello darling ?
@@MrWierchawsky Don't be a creep
These are songs of my youth… Sad about Ricky… Devastated, the band went into seclusion and did not tour to promote the album, though they did several photo shoots and TV appearances and filmed a video for "Girl from Ipanema Goes to Greenland". That’s a nice mark of respect for him. These were a great band
ROAM sublime xxx
Rather long winded
My mom used to play this song in the car when I was a kid.
Bruh i see you everwhere
Your mom is cool 😊
Thats what mine is doing right now
Your mom knew how to party then !
your mom couldn't get over the song, cos u reminded her of the moment u were made ... lol
This is one of those songs that I don't hear too often so it immediately takes me right back to my 20s. Best decade ever.
One of the many reasons why I am so interested in this band is the female vocals: so full of their own personality
This song could've went on for another 10-20 minutes and no one would've minded.
Very True!
This is the cut version.
That's how good it is
I still remember the PopUp Video for this song. They pointed out the bassist in the tub and what the phrase "Tin Roof, Rusted!!" meant.
Heck yes! So true!
I swear everyone in this video looked like they were having the most fun ever. This song is just nothing but good vibes.
It was a good slice of the late 80s : )
It is a party in itself! Will be on repeat on my playlist I know
fun times
came here by rem shiny happy people !
bring yer jukebawks munny!
I have always loved 😍 🥰 this song 🎵 ❤️. It makes me feel like dancing and just moving!!!!!
The 1980s was a fun time to be alive. The 2020's not so much.
Absolutely correct
You got that right😊
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
Musically it’s weird in 2020
People just having fun. We need this again in 2020.
I agree💜
today's music is just so depressing,I'm a straight dude n love this song because it brings me back when my sole mission was to have fun.
maiyafay??? LOL U BET!!! LETS GO!!! IM BUYING 😍😁🤝😊
BUMP
6 ah
These women's voices just blow my mind. What amazing talent! I love it how my 10 year old loves this song! It's her ringtone on her phone! Excellence never goes out of style!
@Mr Cranky “SOUNDS” is the strangest way of spelling “IS THE” I’ve seen in a long time
The harmony is simply awesome.
Atlanta talent, and they "discovered" RuPaul here
Gives me chills the harmonies
"Kate and Cindy's voices..." Imagine that these are lyrics. Imagine trying to sing "These women's voices." But not in the wine cellar (the wine would instantly turn into vinegar!).
My son was "concieved" to this song! 22yo today and he's grown into an awesome young man! I love him so much!
It’s funny you say that cuz my oldest was conceived to Love and Rockets song So Alive! Only way I knew was cuz my girlfriend said she felt this weird tingling inside and sure enough a couple weeks later she told me she was pregnant. I’m 51 now and we’ve been together since I was 16. 3 grown kids and 2 grandsons now. Man how our lives fly by. I miss the late 80’s early 90’s. These days sadly don’t even compare!!!
Is his tin roof rusted?😅
Were you drunk at a party??🤔
I bought me car as big as a whale, and it's about to set sail. Lyrical genius. Excellent song writing too.
Neither cars nor whales set sail
@stuwest3653 Those old Chryslers and Imperials were "Land Cruisers" and they were metaphorically as big as whles and they were quite like sailing on the highway.
This and Dee Lite’s groove is in the heart are both serious nostalgic grooves
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.
Welcome back to the 80's, for all of you who missed it, I feel for you.
I’m 11 and only listen to music from the 60s-80s and honestly I’m quite lucky , i get to indulge easier.
@@henry3033 im 11 too and i love this song
@@brazilianTT lol what's that got to do with anything?
@Michael Menges SO much racism, not like it doesn’t happen ‘till these days but yk
@@brazilianTT is that what you've been told?
whoever is singing this song in 2024, you are blessed, there will never be music like this ever. 60's 70's and 80's will never fade away.there is alot of radio stations that still play these awesome tunes. God bless you all.
One of most enjoyable musical acts and songs of all time. Fred's nearly spoken vocals always seem like a cheerleader for the impressive actually singing of the female singers. What a great act.
I turned 65 today. Sitting in my wheelchair I am rediscovering the 80s. I used to be rocking to these songs. I Thank God for great music. It is giving my life back to me!’
That's an interesting interpretation. But I believe the other males in the group could also sing well; no? If so; that would mean he wasn't just a cheerleader for the girls; but the whole group....
Incredibly punchy song, and I especially love the hand claps!
@@jacquelynrumple1892 I'm 68 now, birthday on Tuesday, love this stuff
I would of loved to see the B-52’s in concert! What high level entertainment!
Kate and Cindy's harmonies are so tight- you can't hear any phasing when they hit the same notes. Gives you chills.
That's it man! Not only pretty but marvelous voices - With a funny 60's sound!
dont know what all that means but it sounded so knowledgeable.. it gave me chills "ooh" ;)
No tune correction, nothing at all! They sound as tight as the horns.
That these two exceptional voices ended up in the same band is one of the luckiest happenings in 20th century music
"Love shack baayybieeeeeeeeee" 😍😍😍
What I love about Fred, he doesn't hog the spotlight...he sits and waits for his parts...and then completely delivers completely becomes the WHOLE song...then fades back and let's the girls take over 💕💕
Who’s Fred? That’s John Mulaney on lead vocals
That's what I've always loved about them. One person can have a whole song, take turns, back the other, or hang back and dance. No egos. I also really respect Cindy for taking time off for family and the band supporting her. They're coming up on 45 years and still doing things together.

My sister (16) and I (17) went to see the B52s in 1979 at the Berklee School of Music and danced our hearts out
I'm sure that was a hell of a show! Wish I were there but I had a few years before I was born;)
IT'S 2022 AND THIS SONG STILL ROCKS!!!

Great song to dance to
Exactly 🙂👍

If there was ever a song that represents the high energy and pure fun of the 80s, this is that song! It's so good it's genius! Thank you B-52s! You guys are timeless!
Where's the miners strikes?
I always thought this was 1990 it’s the 80s?
It was 1989. So end of 80s beginning of 90s. It marks a transition from 89s to 90s
It was released in June 1989. Still, It does feel much more 90s vibe.
@@itay_530 thanks my love
My auntie loved this song , was played at her funeral she loved it that much! Love it!
What an amazing aunt. This is a very positive and uplifting song.
She loved it! Haha, life n soul of the party! Everybody laughed when it was played in the church...briiant! :-)
that is so kewl. your auntie must have been fkn amazing.
Yes she certainly was! :-)
Sorry about your loss but at least her fave song was played for her.
Tin roof is still rusty today, exactly 35 years to the day the song was released as a single. The whole Cosmic Thing is great.
One of the most enjoyable musical acts. They never let stardom change who they were. True originals writing some seminal songs, and having fun doing it.
The B-52s really had a good time.
Yea, seems so much fun to have a couple of close friends with you jammin and hanging out for a road trip, wish I had friends and the courage too do that 😂
How can ANYONE be unhappy watching/hearing this? Love Shack has pulled me back from the edge of the abyss more times than I can say, it is MAGIC.
You're right. It's a can't lose feel good song, like so long ago.
And also listen to This Must Be The Place by the Talking Heads. Will start your day happy!!😀
Such an amazingly feel-good song. These guys and REM are my favorites. "I'm heading down the Atlanta highway..." 😄
i want this whole vibe back.
Best song ever :D
It definitely does have a unique vibe, but some stuff by independent artists today is just as good. We may never get the vibe of the 80s back, but a new vibe just as good exists.
Me to...... The Songs of the 90s have the best vibes
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. There is still nothing like this that has been released.
@@clamsclams wouldn't say so since the whole 80s revival aesthetic has been growing stronger and stronger over the last few years,especially on the internet
I swear they used to play this song in like gym class or something like that back in Elementary school.

You sound like some idiotic boomer.
The 80s would not have been the same without these guys. Too cool.
Yup.. they were an 80s group who sang songs with a touch of the 50s-60s such as Rock Lobster, Private Idaho, and this one.
@@goingplaces2274 yep , saw them live once and it was a blast back in 95
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. 🎶❤️🎶
It's a small world after all😉
You met in the early 80s and this song came out in 1989…that cruise must have been really long 😂
Yes, it was a fantastic voyage, of which I had several that decade. The text should have read “80’s.” At any rate, I had an incredible time. Jealous?
@@nanny287 jealous of what? You mentioned a fond memory of dancing to a song from 1989 in an early 80s cruise, it was funny to envision some insanely long cruise like the Life at Sea one that just got cancelled
@@ghetto-nu1ul I was just kidding. Relax! That’s another good dance tune from the era.
Whoever came up with the B52s concept was a genius. Totally unique I can't even categorise their slightly goofy 50's look with an 80's sound. 'Rock Lobster' was almost other worldly.
it's more of a 60s look i think
Not half. Try Planet Claire, it is literally other worldly😁
@@pseudonayme7717 I bought the vinyl in 1979.
They're both on it 😃
I was not a fan when they came out in the 80's. However they like so represent the 80's and I really appreciate them now.
I read they preferred Thrift Store bargain finds to ensemble.
Love Shack and Roam have to be some of the most uplifting tunes ever. They never fail to change my brain for the better. Can’t thank these guys enough, really.
Can’t agree more! Love those songs. 💃

Those 2 girls' voices is what made this band amazing. The way they harmonized.
And then she made REM shinny happy people sound as good as it too.
He wrote alot of songs for people
Who's still listening in 2024?
I largely forgot about this song until I heard it playing at a public pool today. Suddenly I got sucked into the time tunnel and shot back to 1989. Say, did I hear the Berlin Wall's coming down?
I've just heard this
playing sat having a pint in a pub in Bedford England 🇬🇧
I am
Yeeeaaahhhh 🎉
😊👍moi les amis
I saw the b52s in Boston when I was 6 years old July 24th, 2002 and still remember it to this day. One of the best birthdays ever.
They leave it all on the stage, don't they? A master class in showmanship.
The 80s is endless. So much variety. I've been going through an 80s phase since 2014 and im still finding great stuff thats new to me.
This song sounds somewhat modern but not in a bad way.
Could also qualify as a 90's song (early 90's vibe and released in 1989)
I always loved the fact that Cindy and Kate never performed together a choreography. They always danced the way they wanted.
@Philip Alumbo
Watch the Song For a Future Generation video. She can, effortless.
their voices are unbelievable i love it so much
Plus, you can clearly see they are enjoying themselves - it's not a dance that was practiced 10,000x times and became a chore - she really looks like she is just in the moment.Never noticed that 25 yrs ago :)
My daughter and I love this, many mornings on our drive to her school. Her taste in music is superb
😂
Me and my 5yo son love it too! Get ready for school happy dance energizer... btw im daddy
this made me tear up and I don't know why lol
Can’t stop hearing Andrew from big mouth in this song
Omg lmaoo 😭💀😂
Bruh I was thinking I recognised it now you said it I can never listen to this song the same again 😂😂😂
BHAHAHAHHAHA PLEASEEEE
I was thinking the same thing!!!!
Omg thank god I’m not the only one! Every time I hear it on tik tok I think it’s John mullaney so I looked it up to prove to myself it’s not😭😂
The world was introduced to Ru Paul at 2:05, and was never the same again! What a great song, and and great band. My sister has tickets to see their final tour this fall. I'm so jealous.
Hes so gorgeous here too! incredible omg
Was RuPaul the person in the pinwheel hat?
@@Hannah-t5z There's a good shot of him at 1:51. He's not wearing a hat, he has a white top on.
@@Hannah-t5zNo the "lady" in white on right.
I love Kate, her voice is amazing. She is pretty fine to look at as well. She was 41 when this song was released but looks in her 20's.
Gdo yeah And I'm still MAD about her VOICE!.
met her and the band about a year or so ago, she is amazing, beautiful and very nice, and sang great and rocked out.
She was pretty in this video cbut I never thought she looked in her 2o's in this video. I always thought she looked in her early forties in this video and it turned out she was lol. Can't fool me with good make up. And the extremely high bouffant hair ages anyone.
Kate can drive me into her Love Shack any day of the week
Cindy also looks great 💗
Who’s listening this song in 2024? Alguém ouvindo esta música em 2024 🇵🇹🇧🇷?
The legendary queen that is the phenomenal RuPaul at 2:05. B-52’s knew what’s up long time ago featuring that icon! 👏🏼
No freak degenerate is what you intended
Wait...that's RuPaul? I had no idea
@@jasonhaynes2952Yes
Yes !
It’s on his IMDB trivia.
Ahhhh the Summer of 89'...8 years old, going to Disney World for the first time, Bobby Brown blowing up the pop charts, ALF on tv in the evenings right after The Hogan Family...THIS video on MTV... And of course BATMAN!
Close enough to be a 90s song
We're the last of generation X, before the millennials ruined everything!
Noone will understand low budget movies with big actors, like we do.
A golden era, gone but not forgotten.
I had just graduated high school and was starting college. This was a HUGE part of the soundtrack for that entire year.
IT'S THE LOVESHACK
So was I! I also posted this comment on "Everybody Talks" because it also says "loveshack."
It's the Loveshack but on every Loveshack the Groovenians theme song plays (Ok but the joke is their both by the same group)
Don't call yourself "Dr Loveshank." You're gonna get jokes for years to come.
Yer a Dr, Jackass... get the f88k off our channel dork. call me
2875dulce rocko too
The girls vocals are so amazing. As a kid I didn't realize just how great their harmonies were..
Fred Schneider's vocals really nailed it as usual. The rest of the band nailed it one this one as well.
That’s John Mulaney
@@rtlthemusician5598no its Fred
I mainly listen to rnb, hip hop, jazz and classical and for some odd reason this song popped into my head just as I was about to go to sleep the other night around 130am. Just random. This song had not been any commercials or radio or anything that I had seen or listened to ...amazing how the brain works
The same happened to me with edwyn Collins' girl like you
Daydreaming
I'm 15, and I found out about this because of my parents. I can not be more grateful for how good of a taste in music they have!
Same my mom used ti play this all the time! If u like this, then i suggest you listen to Roam. Has the same energy in my opinion 🤷♀️
@@franciefairchild I'll check it out, thanks for telling me!
Notice RuPaul from RuPaul's Drag Race, tall black chick in white short shorts ?
@@landofthelivingskies3318 yeah lmao me and my mom used to watch RuPauls drag race years ago
@@landofthelivingskies3318 YEAH! I love RuPaul! Thank you for pointing this out!
I met Freddy in 1991 in Little Italy, Manhattan,NY & I asked for his autograph, he said "I Gotta Run Hun", still to this day The Nicest Brush Off I"ve ever Expierienced !
this is just one of those songs you can listen to over and over and never get tired of it
Vecna Song List 😁
I can't even listen all the way through once
I still am and only 56 XXX
Its 2020 and I want to hug anyone who still loves this song...
Love this song💜💜
then hug me
Don’t hug anyone because COVID-19
Hug right back babe..virtual..... X
Hug !
I grew up listening to the B52s and The Beach Boys. Really made my 28 years so far pretty chill
My girl scout troop sang to this over and over while we drove to go camping in like 1993.We were awesome.
I remember my third year of competitive dance back in '92 I ended up doing a solo to this song and I had won the highest title in my age division. Now here we are, 2016 my daughter Kaitlyn is doing her very first solo to this song!
+Jenn Miller I remember hearing this song almost every morning while getting ready for Kindergarten.
+Lisa Hughes That is so cool Lisa! Thank you for sharing!!! :)
+Lisa Hughes cool
The most 80s song ever.
It's comes damn close. You Make My Dreams is pretty 80s too. Haha
Poochie Collins that’s why it didn’t come out until 1989. It needed to absorb all the good stuff from the decade
We need to head back there to the 80s cause i try really hard to like todays music i really do ! But somethings missing. Everytime some artist does a song that sounds and feels like the 80s or even the 70s today its usually always a hit ! mmmmm I wander why?
When doves cry is #1 80s feel
@@andresgc770 hahaha (late reply ;-p)
33 years later and 19 year old me
still wants to go to that party. 🍻
you want a medal for being young and listening to this or what, try being 33 stfu
felt
You've been 19 for 33 years?
Just go to any gay party, they're all like that lol
I was 13 years old when this song blasted the MTV Airways in the summer of 1989........
Love the way the wide array of people in the club and the group are putting an "ALL are welcome!" mentality into visualization.
This song is SOOOOO much fun.
R
Robin Ann ya it's a fun song that can take u out of any depression
This song will go down in history as one of the best party songs ever written and produced. It's so TIMELESS!!!!
Ikr
The whole shack shimmies when everyone's moving around, and around, and around, and around!
Kate and Cyndi have been among my favorite women for nearly 50 years. And “tin roof … rusted” is one of the coolest lyrics ever!
The girls are such underrated singers! Loud, wild, but tight! Very tight
These girls rule but the guy singing evens things out. a southern thing.

Kate Pierson released her own album in 2015.
I wouldn't fraze it like that
@Boston 508617 loose as a wizard's sleeve 😂😆
Let's be honest. This wasnt on your reccomended.
You searched this song up ;)
You got good taste in music.
Yeah.
you're wrong haha, I got a recomend yes
Nugget Animates It was actually! 🤪🤪🤪😍😈😏🤨🤫
ojaaaaleeeeeeee
This was on my recommended because I listen to this type of this music
One of those songs you never get tired of!
Love the random Rupaul appearance
Kate Pierson:
Bounces around with such.....enthusiasm!
2024 & it STILL hits! 🔥🔥🔥
The 80's were the absolute best for music. I'm so glad I was young in the 80's. Just the right age to appreciate ALL of it 🥳🎉
I’d be totally ok with music returning to this.
Yep. Fun moving music!
Deacon Black That’s never gonna happen unfortunately
Or radical idea. You could do it.
@@blackearl7891 thank you!!!! Geeez, its as if this generation always wants the sound back, but only ask for it, if they want it, they could make themselves. Im slowly working to make music myself from instrumentals, songwriting and singing, hope to one day be huge
Want to know how music sounds like. 70's and 80's will show you.
When I was a kid, this was my turn up song
Prophets Of Rock TV me too lol
Shortlady82
Same. Still is.
It still is my turn up song !! Get up n dance. Song !! It has that get up off ur ass. N dance. Beat !!! Lol. !! N I'm over 45 yrs old - I still. Love that song
Thank You "so much" for your story! I am so sorry for your loss. Just remember that when moments of sadness come just turn on Love Shack and happy tears will come. They are never gone as long as we remember them. We will" always remember them. Lots of Love, Colleen❤
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.
me too cobber , love from australia! xoxo
I was 6-7 when this played on MTV all the time. I didn’t understand a thing but I sang along 😄
I'm a crippled up old man but when Love Shack comes up on my playlist, it makes me throw my arms up and dance in my chair. Thank you B-52's. And yeah, who doesn't have the hots for the red head. I once saw her on an episode of Victory Garden and was surprised how normal she was. I was expecting someone from Planet Claire.
She's capable of acting normal, but you see a whole different side to her on her Facebook page. That's what makes her so intriguing and entertaining. She can pull off the whole Jeckyll and Hyde act to a tee.
I love her in *Iggy Pop's* _Candy_
Maxine nightengale
are u talking about Fred??? 😒😒😒
I know what you mean. If I am at a party this song will always get me up to dance. Love it.
80's MUSIC NEVER DIES !
Eventhou this song came out in 1989, to me it has more of a 90s vibe to it.
@@vectorprime7797 You always get that cross over period in a century, You had a bunch of soon to be 90s fashion and music make it's debut late 80s lol. Look at grunge! A staple of the 90s, But you can follow it's roots back to late 80s with groups like the Pixies.
TRUEE 🙌
It just goes goes to the next generation hopefully
Thankfully, some '80s music did die.
Looking forward to this song getting One Billion Views! And yes The B-52s absolutely should be in the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame!
