My name is Claire, I was named after this album. My parents went to the Univ of Georgia with these guys. They were all art students and apparently they dressed this way all the time. Lol...crazy art students.

Planet Claire is like a short scifi movie depicted almost entirely through music. India, your reaction when Fred sang loudly "BUT SHE ISN'T!" cracked me up! Claire really isn't from one of the seven stars that shine after 3:30 in the morning and we'd all do well to remember that, lol! God bless you and the B-52s!
Yep, epic vocal from cindy on that one, both girls have astonishing voices & were totally original, no one before or since sung like they did, love em forever!!!
I bought their first album back in the 80s, and this track has haunted me all these years. It’s the soundtrack to the best sci-fi movie in your head...
B52's are one of those groups that helps you "let the weird out"!!! :D So good..... imaginative!!! Can't WAIT til you hear: 'Dance This Mess Around' :D Put your hair in beehive if ya do ;)
The first time I heard Rock Lobster on the radio I was in my car and drove straight to Peaches record store in Miami Beach and bought the album. No regrets.
In college, every Saturday night, we'd head over to a friend's apartment (basement in "Landlord Bob"s house). We'd watch SNL then rock out to the B-52s. Saw them live several times. Their first album is my favorite. They're so fun!!
One of my all time favorite bands. Just imagine in 1978 when this band hit amidst all the 70s disco. They were way out there. An art band akin to Talking Heads,.
Have loved this band for decades Caught them in a small London venue 30+ years ago It had been an old cinema with seating Everyone was up standing Dancing on the seats A timeless wonderful Band!!...
B52s could be fun and quirky ... but they have gems on every album that are amazing 50s girl group type songs ...GREAT LIVE BAND . I'm glad you said you did GIVE ME BACK MY MAN...I was gonna suggest it
I was drawn here by the cosmic sounds of Planet Claire . I absoulutely LOVE the B-52's and am glad to see a new generation get into them. LMAO the next time you see a little old gray haired lady or man hobbling down the street .....know that they probably jammed out to this back in the day (:
The B52s were a party band that brought all the camp from 60s bad Sci-Fi movies and 60s beach party bingo genre into a fun tacky schmaltz. The error people have with them is taking them too seriously. They never took themselves seriously, but they did create some fun funky music.
@Joseph Nickell "get a life"? How about "Learn to read"... I don't recall saying I was doing drugs, I said doing lines was the predominate drug of choice in the 80s... I never even drank alcohol, I was serving in the USAF in the 80s... learn a little how the English language works before you set off on strangers on the internet from your high horse of self-righteousness! So glad to hear you preach when you don't even understand what people are saying.
@Joseph Nickell lolz... wow, that's one hell of a great attitude you have there... kiss your mother with that mouth? Apparently you spent most of your life preaching to others about your greatness and telling others how to live while cussing them out... what a real character you are... and liking your own comments is pretty fucking lame pal... when you stop acting like a 12 year old on the internet and grow up into a big boy, let me know... they really need to stop letting children on the internet.
I enjoyed watching your reaction to the B-52s, like everyone who hears them for the first time, you were like WTF is this?? Check out their other songs, Rock Lobster is cool.
I'll never forget the house party I attended back in 1983 where the parents of some kid's house went away and trusted their son to not have a party. Big mistake. There were holes in the ceiling and a bathroom sink on the floor by the end of the night due to songs like Planet Claire that we partied to back in those days. I always wondered what happened to that kid when his parents returned home on Sunday night? It actually was a Party Out of Bounds!
The B52's were so much fun back then. Just fun silly dance songs in a retro/New Wave style. I was always blasting their music from my room and surprisingly my parents didn't seem to mind. lol
The bass riff in this was cribbed from Henry Mancini's 1958 "Peter Gunn Theme." And yep, retro is right. This song was first performed in the late seventies, when the band was doing an early sixties revival sound, a trend among some underground bands of the time like the Revillos, mod revival bands, ska revival bands, etc. As you can see here, they even dressed in early sixties styles, like bouffant wigs etc. And the B52s were obsessed with, like, 1950s and 60s sci-fi films, hence the theme of this song. Other songs by them with a retro-sci-fi feel include "There's a Moon in the Sky (Called the Moon)", "53 Miles West of Venus", and "Trism".
I was in the 7th grade in the early Eighties and I couldn't get enough of these guys! They were and still are so cool. I've seen them a few times in concert.
I hope you have heard Quiche Lorraine, about the 2 inch poodle. That might be their craziest song. It's hilarious and musically interesting, as is most of their stuff.
This video comes from a kids' British TV show. The performance was cut short on the show, so someone has cut in repeated clips so the whole track has a video. If you watch carefully, you can see the repeats. I'm so glad he / she did it coz it's a great song
I just love the B 52s how do you guys not know these 5hey are classic tunes....I had all there albums I can't get enough.....back in the 1980 if you went to a club this what was playing loud!
LMAO!!! totally loved your reaction. Here voice mimics the note being played making a note that is hard to listen too, BUT SEDUCTIVE nonetheless! They were huge in the day! Loved them.
Early 52's is best as they evolved quite a bit after the passing of Ricky but tons of fantastic grooves are still present and worth checking out. Tons of great tunes to bust a move to. Yes i am old lmao Young MC ftw! 🤘😁
Now I know that sound is the organ AND her voice. We used to dance to this at the clubs... when they were called “discos” 😂. Definitely a time of “the weirder the better.”
I'm watching reaction videos to the B-52s for the first time, and I'm seeing a lot of puzzled and concerned and sometimes worried expressions - and I'm laughing. As someone who still knows all the words to "Planet Claire", my expressions instead are happy!
Seriously one of my all time favorites. Rock Lobster, 52 Girls, Dance This Mess Around, and Love Shack are probably my go to songs and sure to put me in a good mood. Do all 16 dances!
Love Love Love the B 52s ! Every song is amazing ! One of my favorites is "Dirty Back Roads" THANKS INDIA for everything you do. I think you're awesome ! I'm on a mission to watch all of your reactions 💖🎶😊🎶💖
They were so cool. I was in high school in the early to mid 80's on the cross country team jamming to this, then on the track team jamming to Run DMC, both on boom boxes on the bus. So much to experience and all new back then. Weird and all, yes, but it made us all drop what we knew and just go with it...great times!
They were wacky. This is the opening track from the same album that has their big song 'Rock Lobster' which you should hear. If you like space music try the music of Hawkwind. They've been playing nothing but space rock since 1969.
In Search of Space was the first Hawkwind album I bought followed by Hall of the Mountain Grill then Warrior on the Edge of Time... Guess I must have liked them!! I also loved/love Gong and Steve Hillage. It's such a shame that some of these "reaction" Vloggers missed out on the 'actual' experience of hearing this stuff at the time it actually came out, set against the global events and local societal values that were around then... and without all the intervening stuff that owes so much to what came before.
The B5s are just GREAT 🙂 That first album is amazing. I remember the first time I listened to it, I was completely blown away. It's just timeless...😉❤❤❤❤❤🙂
Rock Lobster is my favorite but I'm pretty sure Love Shack was their biggest hit. Love Shack, as good as it is, was played so often I got tired of hearing it.
B-52's are a fun party band out of the creative and experimental music scene that was going on in Athens, Ga., at the time. 40 years ago in 1980.. Still bizarre and great after all these years..
This is one great thing about the internet and youtube in particular. The younger generations are grooving on the music from my salad days- I know every generation says this but I say this with complete confidence- us Gen X'ers had the best pop music. We had a lot of crap, too but we had so much great stuff.
There is so much about this band that I love... short list Ricky Wilson on that blue 4 string Mosrite guitar, pure genius as evidenced in songs like Private Idaho Cindy and Kate, when they sing together, now that is otherworldly Favorite songs... Roam and Dance this Mess Around
Lol way different lol that's what we said in the early 80's ! Love the b-52's they had alot of great music Try roam you'll love it. By the way Claire is a planet...♡
The B-52's - Planet Claire - 1979 It was originally recorded in 1978, then re-recorded and released in July 1979. This Band are in my Top 5 of all time. They are serious fun and the epitome of quirky. I first saw them in June 1980 in Sydney, at The Capitol Theatre, they played tracks from their 2nd album WILD PLANET. They played " ROCK LOBSTER " LIVE on COUNTDOWN, it was crazy when Fred crumpled to the floor when the lyrics said " Down, Down " and his hat went skewiff. This band bring joy into my heart n soul. The 2nd time I saw them was in 2004 at The Hordern Pavilion in Sydney. My highlight of that gig was " QUICHE LORRAINE " I recommend that people listen to " 53 Miles West of Venus " from WILD PLANET, it is a great Rock tune. RIP - Ricky Wilson
So whe. I was little Make a Wish sent my family to Hawaii for my brother, who wanted to see a volcano. (My brother lived longer than expected, by a fair amount, but died last year before he could turn 29.) So the plaine lost our luggage, than we got lost in the middle of nowhere. (GPS was not really easily available than, not like today) so I was little, it was dark I was freaking out. My dad had had a b-52s tape in his carryon. Now that was what we were listening to. So while mom and dad tried to figure out where we were and where to go, my brother noticed that this song calmed me down. So he got it to be replayed over and over, by my dad, so I would stay calm. Miss you everyday big brother. Love you always. 5o note I was strange as a child. My brother later in life informed me I would cry when "Walking on Sunshine" played. But get very happy when I heard "Bad Moon Rising" Go figure.

And like all art students and musicians, they had no health care. For the arts...#BERNIE2020!

@@jacksprat418-ju5qo No Jack. Just a realist that knows free health care in the U.S. is so unlikely. They only got a watered down version of Obama care, you really think free care for everyone is a reality?
I'm Canadian and free health care IS what you need, but it ain't happening.
One of the most important art punk bands of all time
The only group that really matters.
The B-52's are one of my all time favorites.
Planet Claire is like a short scifi movie depicted almost entirely through music. India, your reaction when Fred sang loudly "BUT SHE ISN'T!" cracked me up! Claire really isn't from one of the seven stars that shine after 3:30 in the morning and we'd all do well to remember that, lol! God bless you and the B-52s!
Dance This Mess Around!
Great choice!
Yep, epic vocal from cindy on that one, both girls have astonishing voices & were totally original, no one before or since sung like they did, love em forever!!!
Why won’t you dance with me , I’m not no limberger!
Essential for the full B52 experience.
That's my favorite B-52 song! My ex gf was nuts for this band over all others.
I can’t believe you’re reacting to this! I love it!
She’s an alien.. Planet Clair was a hoot on the dance floor. Total improv, so much fun!. We had a blast with the B-52’s. Thanks for sharing.
One of the most unique, fun, funny, awesome, feel good bands ever!!! 🥳
I bought their first album back in the 80s, and this track has haunted me all these years. It’s the soundtrack to the best sci-fi movie in your head...
The Peter Gunn baseline is timeless and always will be. Just look at her bopping her head. That's what I'm talking about! Cross-generational.
They were one of the bands along REM from Georgia . 80s band. Rock Lobster is great dance song.
cbonklisse agree- late 70s. I think they do tend to be identified as an 80s band.
Sven Sandström Strobe Light is the biz
Talking Heads Athens Georgia
Welcome to early 1980s New Wave, India! One of my favorite songs by the B-52s, from their excellent first album!
B52's are one of those groups that helps you "let the weird out"!!! :D So good..... imaginative!!!
Can't WAIT til you hear:
'Dance This Mess Around' :D
Put your hair in beehive if ya do ;)
The first time I heard Rock Lobster on the radio I was in my car and drove straight to Peaches record store in Miami Beach and bought the album. No regrets.
I bought the album in 1980. My brother mocked me for doing so, but he later asked to borrow it 😎.
Was that the Peaches right next to Tony Roma's and in front of Lipsticks strip club? I lived there!!
@@jpthomas68 That was it.
More B-52 please!!
I played this B-52s album until the needle scratched it. I loved this sci-fi 50s vibe. My teenage 80s, so freaken awesome.
In college, every Saturday night, we'd head over to a friend's apartment (basement in "Landlord Bob"s house). We'd watch SNL then rock out to the B-52s. Saw them live several times. Their first album is my favorite. They're so fun!!
Their first LP was the best!
FUN! FUN! FUN! DANCE PARTY TIME!!! SO SILLY, LOVE IT
these guys freaked me out when I first heard them but love them to this day. Saw them in New Orleans, my first time trying acid.
How was the experience?
Personally I loved it back in the day!
Been decades since my last Tab, but great memories, sort of!!...
Rock Lobster!
We used to dance to these songs back in High School.
Brings back great memories!
Yes!! Love it you will find them and their, lyrics strange but talent undeniable. Rock Lobster or quiche Lorraine
Yay! My favorite B-52's song, along with Private Idaho!
My favorite B-52 song. Thank you for reacting.

Yes they were! My weirdest friend turned me on to them! So Grateful
@@joanneberg8093 See, you'd have probably been a friend. ;)
@@JoeBlow_4 definitely
"Lava" has always been a huge favorite for me.
Love the B-52s...
The lady playing the bongos is Cindy... she sang the vocals on “give me back my man”.
In case you didn’t know
Don’t analyze too deep or take the band “seriously”. They are pure fun!! Talented n creative for sure!
Just let ur hair down n dance n SMILE!
Still have not gotten tired of this song. It was new when I when I was a teenager! Always nice for good song with a fresh set of ears!!
Have loved this band for decades
Caught them in a small London venue 30+ years ago
It had been an old cinema with seating
Everyone was up standing
Dancing on the seats
A timeless wonderful Band!!...
LOVE the B-52's! Saw them a couple of years ago in L.A., (yes they're still together) and they were still great! They pedal FUN!
Have You Reacted To The B-52's Love Shack or Roam or My Private Idaho or Rock Lobster
Topaz
Dance this mess around also
Eduardo Torres Private Idaho, yeah!
And don't forget "Hot Pants Explosion"
Dirty Back Road. UUUuuugghh yeah.
B52s could be fun and quirky ... but they have gems on every album that are amazing 50s girl group type songs ...GREAT LIVE BAND . I'm glad you said you did GIVE ME BACK MY MAN...I was gonna suggest it

The B-52's are pure '50's Sci-Fi B-film. There is a great clip of the Foo Fighters (feat. Fred Schneider from the B-52's) covering Planet Claire.
The B52s were a party band that brought all the camp from 60s bad Sci-Fi movies and 60s beach party bingo genre into a fun tacky schmaltz.
The error people have with them is taking them too seriously. They never took themselves seriously, but they did create some fun funky music.
This was a great song to smoke a joint to in the 80s.
Still true this day.
Yep... even in the southern hemisphere
Smoke a joint in the 80s? No way, that's like too 60s... in the 80s everyone was doing lines.

4:25 reaction is priceless. He had no reason to swat down those guesses (of where she came from) with such ferocity. ;-)
This was a genre called “New Wave”. Another band that fits this genre was Divo.
The B-52's are simply the most FUN dance band ever. Private Idaho, Roam, Funplex.... so many to hear!!
I'll never forget the house party I attended back in 1983 where the parents of some kid's house went away and trusted their son to not have a party. Big mistake.

Back in early 80s songs like these were played mostly at house parties
Why are you saying what
Lisa from NJ Not where I lived they were played in the Clubs
Clubs in my area played mostly mainstream pop dance songs or live local rock bands.
If you lived at a SoCal beach and heard "Rock Lobster" playing you started looking for the house party.
Was in 1978 1st
Love this! So hilarious. We need more bands like this today.
Thank you for reacting to this version. It shows off their brilliant minimalist arrangements so well.
I just love the B 52s how do you guys not know these 5hey are classic tunes....I had all there albums I can't get enough.....back in the 1980 if you went to a club this what was playing loud!
And 78 and 79 ALSO
I just love the upstroke on the guitar, raw and delicate at the same time.
Another hit from the B-52's is a song titled "Rock Lobster", you may want to check out sometime.
1982, almost 3 a.m., most of the people have left the club and the DJ spins this. So much fun to dance to. It’s a different vibe.
I swear that base beat is the song Green Onions. I just cant unhear it.
Love this fun group. Great for 80s dancing. Good memories. Nothing too serious.
Wildly creative and just didn't give a damn what anyone else thought about them. Fearless like we all wish we were.
LMAO!!! totally loved your reaction. Here voice mimics the note being played making a note that is hard to listen too, BUT SEDUCTIVE nonetheless! They were huge in the day! Loved them.
Love this! Can you believe the woman on key boards....is it Kate Pierson? She is awesome in this. How can she get that tone in singing?????
LOL.... Love Planet Claire, Give me back my man, & Rock Lobster. Dance this Mess Around
Saw them live outdoors in the 1980s and literally the bleachers were shaking because people were dancing so hard! It was WILD!
Early 52's is best as they evolved quite a bit after the passing of Ricky but tons of fantastic grooves are still present and worth checking out. Tons of great tunes to bust a move to. Yes i am old lmao Young MC ftw! 🤘😁

Sounds a lot like Peter Gunn theme.

classic new wave band ! there performance on Saturday night live in 1980 marked a new era in music
ROCK LOBSTER , one of the all time best.

Theater of the mind! Dance! I see you!...70s...a different time. Concept! B52s named after the hairstyles..called B52s.
You should do rock lobster by the same band. That’s the biggest hit
I'd have thought Love Shack would be their biggest hit.
Rock Lobster is my favorite but I'm pretty sure Love Shack was their biggest hit. Love Shack, as good as it is, was played so often I got tired of hearing it.
I don't disagree with you there, though I've always been partial to Roam.

Us 70s Brats said in the 70s 1st 80s kid lol This came out in 1978
The B-52's - Planet Claire - 1979
It was originally recorded in 1978, then re-recorded and released in July 1979.
This Band are in my Top 5 of all time.
They are serious fun and the epitome of quirky.
I first saw them in June 1980 in Sydney, at The Capitol Theatre, they played tracks from their 2nd album WILD PLANET.
They played " ROCK LOBSTER " LIVE on COUNTDOWN, it was crazy when Fred crumpled to the floor when the lyrics said " Down, Down " and his hat went skewiff.
This band bring joy into my heart n soul.
The 2nd time I saw them was in 2004 at The Hordern Pavilion in Sydney.
My highlight of that gig was " QUICHE LORRAINE "
I recommend that people listen to " 53 Miles West of Venus " from WILD PLANET, it is a great Rock tune.
RIP - Ricky Wilson
This was performed for a saurday morning kids show in the UK. They are on the sea front in Plymouth Devon, my home town :)
Punk also had a fun side! B52s were all about that. Love them!
I love the B52 since the first time I was dancing so hard in my youth ...
Great party band!
One of my favorite bands of all time!
The Strippers all loved this song . Probably still do. I love it too. CAT is dancing..
Got to see these guys do this song live at Rhode Island College. They were the backup band for The Pretenders. The house was rockin.
This song, and many other's by the B52s, aren't meant to be serious, except for quality of the musicianship behind the quirky lyrical/visual content.
So whe. I was little Make a Wish sent my family to Hawaii for my brother, who wanted to see a volcano. (My brother lived longer than expected, by a fair amount, but died last year before he could turn 29.)
