Who’s listening this master piece in 2024?
Me
Yep :-)
I'll be listening each and every year until my last!
Jo, genau!
@@thomasflitsch2381 😁👍
Kate Pearson, my first crush! I'm 59 and she is still absolutely gorgeous!
It's the year 2024 and I am still a B-52 fan!
Does the lead singer sound like Paul Lynde to you? I’ve always loved them but his voice reminds me of Paul Lynde.
Its been 40 years or so. Kate and Cindy's harmonies still bring goosebumps for me.
Agreed.
Brings me back to my highschool days...
After 43 years they still make me smile........😁
And want to dance.
Oh yeah they do! 😀
Wow you’re everywhere Doc!🤔
Saaaame!
Damn straight, Dr!
This band had a very special guitarist, unusual tunings and style. It was the backbone to their unique style. Sadly he passed away way too early.
tom Brady as the drummer
Ricky Wilson. Supposedly his main goal was to write songs that didn't sound at all like other songs.
His Mosrite guitar was essential to the sound. Probably influenced by the Ventures. East Bay Ray from the DKs is another underrated guitarist of the time with a similar surfy vibe.
@Redlined997 C2S Actually missing both the D and the G, and usually played in alternate tunings, which is part of how he pulled such unique music from those Mosrites and Telecasters. He had a sound that was truly his own, and very few guitarists would even attempt playing without a bassist as part of the lineup. Another brilliant musician who left us way too soon. Ricky Wilson: In Pace Recquiescat.
@@CriticalThinker13 Must have been Strickland.
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.
OK. But I'd say the opposite. What I find compelling about the B-52s live is that they never smile, and never waver from the seriousness of their performance. In interviews they (Kate especially) is always smiling and happy. But when doing to the songs. . . . total seriousness and professionalism, lest anyone think that Private Idahos and Rock Lobsters and dancing all 16 dances and moons in the sky are less than serious!
Sure it's more about having a blast, than anything else! They knew that they may not become mainstream, but always be a crap load of fun, no good party should ever go without! I love wigging out, dancing sideways, and freaking out guests with it! How can you serve succulent garlic/dill buttered lobster, and make an impact? Not without playing "Rock Lobster" You can't! it's freaking impossible!
@@andyzehner3347 It's called sarcasm! There was an excellent surf band in Chicago called "Spies who Surf". They dressed in trench coats and dark sun glasses, had dessert props like a howling wolf, lit up moon image, cactus, ocean backdrop with lighthouse boats n' all on stage. They had what looked like two secret service guy's with sunglasses and ear pieces on either side of the stage that would react to movement and take notes, and they themselves looked straight forward the whole time, not once looking at their instruments, but rater also staring down the audience, and that playing some pretty complex music! If you had something to hide, or a sliver of paranoia, you would surely freak out and leave! They were an absolute blast to see, and very good musicians too.
There is something to being very purpose driven niche.
@@Bob-of-Zoid No it isn't. That's not at all what sarcasm is. And that other band has nothing to do with the B52s.
The B52s were never sarcastic. Their on-stage manner conveyed the message that rockin' out and havin' fun was serious work.
Nail on the head.
Always love Cindy Wilson dancing😎
I was at a radio station event where Fred was guest DJ....he played this , then ran out and danced with us all on the dance floor...surreal moment to dance Private Idaho with with the singer of Private Idaho..
Why, you lucky duck!
wow! were you in boise? I am in europe, sorry if question sounds stupid.
@@away2964 New York , USA Fred was a friend of the folks at WLIR radio who did the event.
That's awesome. 😊✌🤟
Cool!
There will never ever be another band that sounds like this. They are special.
Can't argue that.
@@miroslavloncar8857can't argue that x 2
Actually Metallica after 2010 souds line b-52s
I love Kate's singing, keyboard and synth bass. She did it all, amazing. Great 80s band and new wave, punk pop and party rock. Doesn't get much better.
She's sort of like a female Geddy Lee talent-wise lol. Or maybe Geddy is a male Kate.
@@RCAvhstape don’t get me wrong I love Kate Pierson but Geddy Lee is about five levels higher. This song is all about Ricky anyway
Can't you tell that she's singing off key?
She can't sing for nuts.
@@Bobby-fj8mkI like her singing very much. To each is own. I'm impressed that how she is a solid musician and mostly backup singer. I was wondering all these years where is the bass player? Wait she's the synth bass? Wow she did a great job on top of being the keyboard player most of the time as well.
@@tntstorms7969 - I think she is just pretending to play that keyboard.
Stood the test of time: It was good back in 1980, and it still sounds good in 2021!
2023
And 2023!
Still good in 2036
Damn straight baby!
....and yes... still good in 2023..!
Great production helps it last too!
easily one of the greatest songs of the 80's

B 52's will always be the "Backdrop" sound of the best parties and high school dances I ever attended as a teen back in the 80's. So many great times associate with the B 52's & their amazing harmony & a "retro" style that was actually so ahead of it's time!
I used to be a "party pic" frat party photographer. This was the first time I was introduced to their music with "Rock Lobster" back in 1980
@@goodwilj Rock lobster would always get the party rocking
I hear slayer, very very hard, I love it, even without the slayer part.
it's from the 70s
Them and the talking heads, dance-o-rama,coming from a 70’s teen into zeppelin and hendrix
The 80's weren't another time. They were another world!
True! "It was acceptable, in the 80's" - Duran Duran
the 80s were from.another galaxy ,
Gimme a break.......
Fuímos bendecidos al tener todas estas bandas para escuchar allá por los '70; '80; '90...y casi no nos dimos cuenta; Que felices q éramos. ❤❤❤❤❤
Felices gracias totales a la vida llegaremos a la muerte pero siendo felices con buena y extraordinaria música rock en todas sus variantes
If kids today would look at this and see how they can be totally different and unique against every norm but still make great music.
Don't fool yourself. The capacitance has been lost. We lived through a Renaissance with a superior gene pool. Now we are entering a Dark Age.
APLAUSOS 😜🌈💪😜
DESDE EL PAÍS DE MESSI 😜👍 AZU
one of the best bands of all time my older brother came back from overseas in 1987 and brought some tapes of these guys home i have been hooked ever since and recently i introduced the Bs to my 15 year old Son same result they are probably the only band we listen to together. every time i hear them i just want to dance my son too.👍🏻
I Agree!!! I saw Them in 1980.😊🎸🎼🎵🎶🥁
The purple haired freak show has gone to far, no hope now.
This 61 year old Scottish guy ADORES the B52s!
This 54 year old native African American have 3 of their albums.
@@leonalcavelli8304 You have great taste, sir!
My next girlfriend better like the B-52s.
Thanks,Capybara88. There is a special mystical cool bond amongst us B-52s fans. Been a fan since 1984.
Well, this 51 years old Argentinian loves them too !!!!!
The B-52s’ music needs to be reintroduced to today’s mainstream for gen z and even gen alpha to enjoy.
Most millennials don't like songs that are inventive and follow theory, hence the BS they consider "music" today.
@A S do the math well. if you are 36 you are NOT a millennial
@@slashgg1501 If you’re 36 you’re a millennial. Millennial were born between 1981 to 1996. 26 to 41 years old
Damn straight, productive force of nature!
Websites like this have algorithms that will do that if someone is interested in this kind of stuff
Lived in Hollyweird when this hit. Probably the best years of my life.
From someone like me that grew up on the Beatles,Stones,Zeppelin,Who,Sabbath Deep Purple and Then N.Y.Dolls, Aerosmith,Romones,Clash and Sex Pistols. The B52's were a breath of fresh air, there look,and simplistic music that you can't stop from dancing, and having a great time seeing them live and I have seen them live from the beginning and many times since. There songs are good but seeing them live is a great experience
Yep yep.
When the harmonies from the 2 girls kick in it's....heavenly
Wooo!
Absolutely. Electrifying, even.
And they're cute too!!💙💛💚
Stuart Copeland says this is one of his all time favorite bands. Agreed.
Well Stuart Copeland should know and he's more than a little correct in his favoring The B-52s so highly.
Let’s not let another year pass where the B52s are not inducted in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!!!!!
I know, right? I mean, seriously guys. Make that sh-t for now, b!
The Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame is meaningless tosh. I don't need anyone to tell me who's made great music. I can make up my own mind thanks.
What an amazing band! never gets old
Saw them live at The Agora Ballroom Houston, Texas 1981. Without a doubt the best production I have ever seen. Reminded me of the old Batman series stuff from the 60’s. Very high energy.
You mean Batman from the sixtees with Adam west and burt ward??
I saw Them in 1980 at the Riviera Theater, here in Chicago. A Damn Good Time.😎🖤🎸🎤🥁🎹🎼🎵🎶
timeless and one of the most creative band ever
Those were the good old days!
Love this band. Just fun. Forget the world's troubles. Party. Awesome.
And Cindy was still a teenager in 1980, 10 years younger the Kate!
Can you imagine going from high school directly to world tours with a band composed of your big brother's friends...
Cindy was born in 1957.
I know, right? F-cking Cindy! Together w/Kate she vreated searing harmonies that never failed to trigger the philomotor response.
Masterpiece from 1981....and Cindy dancing so cool👏👏👏
The B52's is one of the most iconic New Wave bands & especially Private Idaho. Everything about them is very unique and that puts them far apart from the rest.
When you have a shitty day these guys sure brings up a smile. Thank you for being such an amazing band.🎉
Went on the Australian equivalent of a summer camp in 1980, blasting this on the portable cassette player won me some serious respect from the girls.
Nice!
You can't help but dance and feel good to this song.
Yeah Yeah
☠️💣☠️
Agreed!
FRED MUST BE THE MOST UNDERRATED VOCALIST OF THE ENTIRE POST PUNK ERA
Nope... he sucks literally
There's something great about when Cindy and Kate do that "Yeah!!!!" together. My God.
Mesmerizing and electrifying. A singular sound producing the ultimate harmonization experience.
I love Private Idaho. ❤👍
So say we all!
Principio de los ochenta, lo baile en secundaria en Villa el Salvador, Lima, grandes músicos, gracias por alegrarnos, B 52 por siempre
Que pajaaaaaa
Soy de Colombia te cuento soy mas salsero. que un hijueputa pero me gusta escuchar los clacicos en rock
I was lucky to have met them all when they came to our town. Ricky was ill but still very gracious, Keith was very nice Fred was so much fun as was Kate and Cindy. We were very lucky to have met them they were my sister and mine favorite band at the time. I still love to listen to them. They are timeless.
Creativity on zenith !
My old bones are moving so fast right now... B52's❤
The B-52s have mastered the art of singing totally ridiculous inane songs with a straight face.
"Que ritmo contundente y que geniales músicos son los B-52s. desde mis 15 años me fascinaron🔥💥
yo estoy flipando son espectaculares
@@mirkojimenezruiz3598 soy mexicano y me gustan ver algunas series españolas en Netflix y seguido dicen flipando eso que quiere decir
@@ElGuapo61947 "Alucinando
Quando ouvia eles nos anos 80 eu tinha uns 12, 13 anos hoje com 50 inesquecíveis!
Esta banda estaba adelantada a su época 🤌
I had the privilege of being on the river boat President while the B-52s played in New Orleans had a very special night back in the 80s😊
This is one of the best synth-bass lines in a pop-rock song.
Cindy Wilson y Kate Pierson iniciaron la banda con el baterista Keith Strickland, el guitarrista Ricky Wilson (hermano mayor de Cindy) y el vocalista Fred Schneider, luego de una noche en un restaurante chino, y tocaron por primera vez en 1977, en una fiesta del día de San Valentín, para algunos amigos.
La música de B-52's está marcada por las voces de Wilson y Pierson, y el tono generalmente monótono (o directamente hablado) de la voz de Schneider.
El sonido "new wave" de la banda era una combinación de dance y música surf, junto con los extraños sonidos de guitarra de Ricky Wilson. También eran distinguibles por su vestuario. Durante el tour "Mesopotamia", las famosas pelucas de la banda fueron encomendadas al cuidado de Jackie Slayton, artista de Athens y amiga de la banda.
Debut
Su primer sencillo, "Rock Lobster", grabado en 1978 fue un éxito underground que llevó a los B-52's a tocar en lugares como CBGB en Nueva York. El lado B de este sencillo era "52 Girls". Se lanzaron dos versiones de este sencillo en el Reino Unido, que tenían como lado B "Running Around".
Su primer álbum, "The B-52's", incluía versiones regrabadas de "Rock Lobster" y "52 Girls", junto con seis temas originales y una nueva versión del clásico de Petula Clark "Downtown".
El álbum tuvo un éxito inesperado, especialmente en Australia, donde llegó a ser disco de platino. "Rock Lobster" le dio a la banda su primera entrada en el listado Billboard Hot 100.
Década de los 80
Su siguiente álbum, "Wild Planet", alcanzó el Top 20 en el Billboard 200 en 1980, y obtuvo el disco de oro. "Private Idaho" fue su segunda entrada en el ranking Hot 100; en esta época, los B-52's tocaron en Saturday Night Live y también se presentaron el festival Heatwave en agosto de 1980.
"Party Mix!" fue su álbum siguiente, un álbum con remixes que incluía temas de sus dos primeros discos y los presentaba en forma extendida.
A pesar de que las sesiones de grabación con David Byrne (de Talking Heads) fallaron, las grabaciones fueron lanzadas como el disco "Mesopotamia" ("Party Mix!" y "Mesopotamia" luego serían unidos y lanzados juntos en un solo CD).
El álbum "Whammy!" en 1983 llevó a la banda hacia música más electrónica y hacia la experimentación con caja de ritmos. Así, "Legal Tender" se convirtió en su tercera entrada a los rankings. Luego de las primeras ediciones de "Whammy!", problemas legales con Yoko Ono sobre copyright, llevaron a reemplazar la canción "Don't Worry" en las nuevas ediciones con "Moon 83", una variación de su tema "There's a Moon in the Sky (Called the Moon)" de su primer álbum. Ricky Wilson, guitarrista de la banda, falleció a causa del SIDA en 1985. En 1986 sale a la luz el álbum "Bouncing Off The Satellites", último trabajo en estudio con el fallecido Ricky Wilson.
Uno de los puntos más altos de la carrera de la banda, fue su participación en el "Rock-in-Rio" festival de 1985, en Río de Janeiro, Brasil.
1989, el regreso del éxito
En 1989, lanzaron el álbum "Cosmic Thing" donde entre otros se destacan el tema "Love Shack" y "Roam" posicionando la banda nuevamente en el puesto n.º 1 de los USA y tornándose un éxito mundial.
De los 90 a la actualidad
En los noventa grabaron el álbum "Good Stuff" (1992) que los mantuvo en los rankings a nivel internacional y fueron elegidos para elaborar la banda sonora de la película Los Picapiedras (1994), con su tema principal Meet the Flinstones (en el videoclip se lee Meat the Flintstones). Aparecen en el largometraje con sus respectivos atuendos prehistóricos, cantando el tema The Bedrock Twitch.
Adicionalmente la banda fue invitada para participar en la serie animada de Nickelodeon llamada La vida moderna de Rocko en la que interpretaron el tema de inicio de la serie.
Últimamente la banda está enfocada en muchas labores de apoyo a ONG asociadas a los temas de salud y preservación ambiental. Participaron también del "True Colors Tour" de Cyndi Lauper, junto a otros artistas invitados. Este evento promovía los derechos civiles de la comunidad gay estadounidense.
El 25 de marzo de 2008 fue lanzado el último trabajo discográfico de la banda bajo el nombre de "Funplex", este es el primer álbum de estudio de "The B-52s" después de 16 años y por la discográfica Astralwerks.1 A la vez el nombre de la banda cambió omitiendo el apóstrofo.
This omits the countless number of appearances, after 2008+, they made playing at state fairs, and casinos.
The Boomers and their grandchildren were dancing everywhere. Many for first time at a live B52's event... sadly for most of us it was the last.
The loss of Kate's brother reflects on her and the rest of the band. We, the fans, notice and morn the loss to this day.
GRACIAS MI ESTIMADO POR LOS DATOS , SIN DUDA LOS B52 SON UNA BANDA QUE MARCO ÉPOCA E HIZO BAILAR Y DELIRAR A MUCHAS GENERACIONES,, TREMENDA BANDA OCHENTERA
Five talented people came together and made the eighties great!
Thanks, B-52s!
Loved seeing you in Irvine, CA!
Not to mention the 70's, 90's and, well, we're still listening to them today.
This is a Fun band!!! can’t sit still at their shows..I always ❤️ Cindy Wilson 🥰🥰🥰
She doesn't get as much credit as Kate yet was absolutely vital in helping create their signature sounds including those amazing vocal harmonies! She kind of looks miserable during their more recent Vegas performance which saddens me. Even Fred looks bored. But Kate is still way into it and it shows.
The fuc#%$ng capos of the New Wave
The frontman was amazing and the concept of the band and their sound was fantastic!
Special mention to the guitar like sounds like a bass
Who doesn't love a babe who can dance?! Cindy is so hot!
The whole band is hot fire. Beautiful bunch of weirdos.
Maybe a coke diet no Pepsi lol , no ill words intended , if you did any music successful, you did what everyone everywhere was lol , and whats this lyrics about, is it underground as in back then the militia and stuff was heavy
Hot fire as opposed to the not-so-hot. But yeah, your point is well-taken.
Cindy is so beautiful! ❤
I spent a few years living in Idaho.
Who's listening in Idaho in 2023 ?
Apparently the answer to that is private
Right now… 2:09 AM… bottle of Sauvignon Blanc in … December 8, 2023 … who isn’t ????
One of my Favourites 😂
A wild potato?
Die Haare von der Frau😂😂😂😂
One of the many excellent bands to come out of Georgia during the 70s and 80s...LOVE these guys; I love their style, music and them, for just being themselves during a time when I'm sure some gave them a lot of s- for being different. Respect.
Coworker got me into ARS last year.
Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson are wonderful.
Man, the theme parties (Gidget Goes to Africa!) we used to throw in the early 80s, the fun we used to have dancing and being goofballs to this album and this song! Saw them live at their height in 1984, great band, music and time that I miss.
Loooooooooooooooove them.
best harmonies in pop music !!
Damn straight. Kate and Cindy: the Dynamic Duo of electrifying harmonies.
This song makes me happy.
Kate's hair wasn't a B-52,it was an entire squadron. I love the 60's women's hairdos.
Extraordinaria época, quienes hemos disfrutado con los B-52s sabemos lo que significa buena música. Saludos ciudadanos del mundo....Quién en el 2022?
Amo este ritmo sicodélico me quita el estrés... B52 ES EXCÉNTRICO E ÚNICO.
Hola 👋 como vai , realmente essa Band e muito boa , esse tipo de som que eles fazem ?? Daria para fazer uma mega festa 😁
The Wilsons really shine in this one.
Cindy and Ricky shine indeed, but then, so does everyone else in the lineup.
Yo bailaba en los 80:s con esa música empezaba mis fiestas de adolecente y saltaba en minifalda como la cantante de blanco y ese dísco duraba una eternidad
Good memories dancing with my friends at the Fair in Albrook, Panama back in the 80 😁
Cindy Wilson was my crush then , love the 80s
Este grupo fue todo un suceso, que lindos recuerdos haya por 1983 en los bailes escolares y reuniones de familia y con amigos del barrio
geniales
De verdad geniales.
That was a good time of life!
Allá
Still have the 1st two albums in Vinyl, I"ve loved them since the beginning got to see them twice in athe same yr @ the Forum, you never sit down & dance, dance, dance....
Perfect.
We saw these guys in about 1980 in Sydney....Hordern Pavillion......1 BIG PARTY !!! I reckon 80% of the crowd were smashed on all sorts of lovely stuff.....1 big dance party....awesome!!!!
💯🎊
Did the venue allow them to play "Rock Lobster" or would that have caused a dangerous level of dancing that mess around as it (apparently) occasionally did in the States?
En 2023 los 80's siguen siendo super actuales viva B 52👍😎
They were just right out there doing their own thing. Loved their dancy individual sound. Absolute legends. I went to see them on their last tour of Europe at Newcastle upon Tyne {Sage}. Brilliant night out. 👍🏆🎼🎤🔊
Rock & Roll, New Wave, and Surf music all meet together= B52s
Annnd still loving it. In a league of their own.
Some of the wildest and most under rated guitar riffs. Plus it's just a great fcuking song.
where is a time machine, when you need it? Screw it back, let them write new songs! And let let these two godesses sing forever.
Abso-fing-lutely!
This band is so beyond everything. I'm so glad I started listening to more of their catalogue.
One of the very best songs WORLDWIDE, ... and I'm a Metal-Fan!
This is how Punk Rock started!!!! Love the B-52’s!!!!!! I used to dance like Kate and Cindy!!!!! Great old days!
An absolute masterpiece that I had just discovered!
This song defines my best friends family!
Both parents were and raised on a cornfield in Iowa.
Where they never met an Asian or Hispanic.
An ultra conservative, homophobic, ultra religious family of basic blonde bimbo’s.
I cannot blame them for being this way. It is their upbringing, and they are good hearted but judgmental.
They barely tolerate me because I am a homosexual male who lives by great morals.
They ridicule my beloved best friend for being an unusual individual of genius;
Every DAY!
Derek and are singing our hearts out to this at our favorite karaoke joint in our city of Dallas!
Wish us luck y’all!
Perhaps the most intimate and revealing B-52s social commentary posted in this forum.
Tremendos ...que gran banda ..saludos de Argentina 🇦🇷👏 2021
This is so awesome! Loved it when it came out and it still rocks!
I'm right there with you!
Grew up in da 80's. You could have groups in the same genre of music,and still be unique. B-52's kicked all the azz !
Always a tonic for cloudy days. They made me smile everytime.
Driving around in my Pontiac firebird with my beasties and going to riverside drive -playing Frisbee and hacky sac.....oh them good old days
When I was in college there was a big outdoor concert in San Marcos outside of Austin TX and they were there. I remember being a rocker and assuming they would suck. It was a great show. Energetic and good band. Was very surprised and became a fan. This would be 1982!
Well of course you were surprised (in a positive manner). The B-52s are dope AF.
I listened to symphonic rock, but secreteley love B52s
They are still simply "off the charts."
Yes, these two harmonize perfectly...
absolutely combination those two
Damn straight, waggsish! Electrifying harmonies evoking jolting waves of pure musical ecstasy!
So great band... I was in love with Kate Pierson's voice (and hair)...
"We've all got wigs so let's go!"
B52s Kept us on the dance floor 80s .
Luv watching the 2 ladies
Tengo 54 años y cuando los escuche dije estos son viajeros en el tiempo, eran del futuro y lejano, a lo que siempre escuche.
B52's music will never be old nor will it ever go out of style. I've never caught myself asking, "What were they thinking?" hearing them in different settings over the decades. Always a welcome sound!
I LOVED B-52s ...EXELLENT AND MAGNIFICENT MUSIC...VOCAL AND MUSIC ...GREETINGS FROM POLAND MAREK...LOVE SHACK ...YEAH
Just so damn good!
Oh man what a grounding experience, B52s grinding out a real awesome song indelibly etched on my soul. Long live the B52s
Amen
If you were fortunate to have seen the B 52’s with Ricky on guitar and Keith on drums, then you saw magic😎
I saw them perform at Jay's Longhorn in Minneapolis. Small venue, amazing show.
B-52. Really bombed us with a different sound ....and good songs
