    Never forget the day in the summer I played that song at full volume in my car stopping at a red light. When the guy behind me jumps out of his car and asked me. I smiled at him and said: this is the incredible B52s my friend!

    This album is so important; what underrated song!. You can hear the grief, emotion, and pain in Cindy’s voice. Her brother Ricky had just died of AIDS in 85’ during this albums inception and its release in 86’.
    A lot of emotion here and one that makes me cry, every time I listen to it. Hands down one of my top 3 favorite bands.

    One of the best things The B-52s ever recorded. Whenever I hear it, it sounds like a Top 10 hit Billboard radio single from the mid-80s that got released in an alternate universe, yet, We still could hear its power in Our world. Truly, ain't it a shame...

    One of the roughest and most difficult song for me to get through ~ it always leaves me with a broken heart. Even if the first line is, “Flying saucers could land and wouldn’t make much difference to my man.” Put in context of the time, Ricky died right before its release, ugh! So horribly painful. Not many bands truly have their own genre, B~52,s do.

    Emotionally takes me back to Dance This Mess Around and Give Me Back My Man. Cindy has such a longing in her voice when she wants to put it out there. Simply a beautiful song beautifully sung..by a beautiful woman! When she closes her eyes and sings, you can feel her channeling her own experiences and laying them out for all to hear. This is what music is supposed to do. RIP Ricky....

    This song is amazing at conjuring up atmosphere.
    Details give the impression of a struggling couple living in a distant trailer park out in the middle of the open somewhere...
    I love that open line about boarding a flying saucer... my second fave part is her wistfully singing, "...I like your brand new trailer... I like your color TV... but u look at that color TV more than me... more than me..." & then u just hear that sad sound of a TV droning on in the background...

    Thank you for sharing one of the best B-52's songs that highlights the talent of Cindy Wilson as a soloist. Having the most emotionally expressive voice of the B-52's, this song perhaps features her the very best. Along with this great song, you've added in photos of the band that are hardly ever seen, if ever. In fitting tribute to the time period this song was recorded, the photos of Cindy and Ricky Wilson are particularly poignant. Quite understandably, "Bouncing Off the Satellites" was an album that was never properly promoted following Ricky's death. Thankfully, the band have begun singing more songs from it on their recent tours, giving it the airtime it deserves.

    The song is called 'Ain't it a Shame', yet Cindy sings 'Ain't I ashamed'. This puzzled me for a long while.
    I get it now! Its deep irony. She says: 'Oh, I've been unkind (not like you). Ain't I ashamed (being misused).'
    Seeing it as a dialogue, not a monologue, it makes sense. One of the most brilliantly conceived pop lyrics ever!

    Flying saucers could land
    And it wouldn't make much difference to my man
    I could walk aboad and thank the Lord
    And leave this damn town in seconds flat
    Check my bags and never come back
    Oh, our love is
    Like a fuse that's burned out
    Oh, our love is
    Like a fuse that's burned out
    Oh, I've been unkind
    Not like you
    Ain't I ashamed
    Being misused
    Oh, our love is
    Like a fuse that's burned out
    Oh, our love is
    Like a fuse that's burned out
    I liked your Chevy Duster
    I liked your brand new trailer
    I liked your colour TV
    But you looked at that colour TV
    More than me
    More than me
    Oh, our love is
    Like a fuse that's burned out
    Oh, our love is
    Like a fuse that's burned out

    I bought the vinyl of the album when it was first available. I still have it and it is my only B52s record. As soon as I heard this song on the album I fell in love with it. It is a B52s masterpiece and should be something that all fans of magical music can one day say...who is that?

    I braked for a rainbow the other day. Got me diving back into this brilliant sonic feast of a record again. My only copy is on cassette, and yes I still have a player. But, am so grateful its on here. This slide show is fantastic, too. it adds a lot. Remembering so fondly when the Bs playful pop perfections were the soundtracks of my days. Thank you for putting this together with so much love and devotion.

    This song just hits all the chords for me even looking at the album cover makes me feel a sort of melancholy, I feel like there isn’t any other song that truly expresses this feeling and emotional state I’m in but this one.

I've always had a special place in my heart for this album. This and She Brakes for Rainbows have always been my favorites of theirs.
