Let's be random B-52's lyrics!

I’m the homophone Roam?! Rome?!

Why don't you dance with me?

I'm not no Limburger!

The most ironic words to ever come out of Fred Schneider's mouth:

"Now I'm gonna lick your pineapple!"

Let's meet and have a baby now!

Heeeeeennrayy! Russsstay!

If you want to better batter better beat it harder.

I actually seen this to myself quite often as I'm getting ready for work in the morning.

Shake it till the butter melts.

It says in this cookbook it takes a long time to rise.

Is there a song where the B's call out the male names Henry and Rusty?

Or is R5 misquoting the bit of Love Shack where Cindy Wilson yells out "Tin roof.....rusted!"

Going down to Allen's for a twenty-five cent beer, and the jukebox playing real loud "96 Tears."

Boys in bikinis! Girls on Surfboards!

She cuts her hair, and calls his name.

I'm definitely the second thing you said but also if you Google Henry and Rusty the first thing that comes up is like a website about how people Miss hear the lyrics of Love shack but then the second is like the wedding website for Rusty and Elizabeth Henry I think and like in their photos it looks like their father and daughter so that's fun.

Effie, Madge and Mabel, Biddie.

See them on the beach or in New York City.

Tina Louise

And Hazel and Mavis.

What's that on your head? A WIG!!!!!

They do the AQUA-VELVA!

Stocked it full of jelly jars and HEAVY! EQUIPMENT!

Name above was supposed to read: "That's MAH-vis to you, not MAY-vis!"

Fingers fucked up, hit return. Don't know who "Thaty" is, but it ain't one of the 52 Girls.

Footprints on the ceiling - how did THEY get there?

What can you do to save a party?

Parcheesi, charades?

A spur-of-the-moment scavenger hunt

I got the devil in my cigarette lighter!

Oh, maybe I'll see you there

If I can do my hair (Downtown!)

Planet Claire has pink air

All the trees are red

No one ever dies there

No one has a head

I'll give you fish

I'll give you candy

I'll give you everything I have in my haaaaand

It pisses me off that this band is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I'm your daytime waitress at the Taco-Tiki Hut

I'm your daytime waitress, here's your stupid Seven-Up

I'm just gonna lock the door to your kennel and just you try and come back to me.

Yeah, you'll see.

You mangy mutt.

Everybody had matching towels!

Do a white hot shimmy in a lorax gown. shimmy shimmy hot shimmy shimmy.

Wanna be the daughter of Dracula? Wanna be the son of Frankenstein? Let's meet and have a baby now!

Has anybody seen a dog dyed dark green?

About two inches tall with a strawberry blonde fall

Sunglasses and a bonnet and designer jeans with appliqués on it

"But she ISN'T!!!!!"

"THERE GOES A BIKINI WHALE!!!!!!!"

R9 guilty, thanks for catching this.

R32, that's my favorite line in the whole B-52's catalog. Fred nails it.

I ain't no student of ancient culture

Before I talk I should read a book.

But there's one thing that I do know

There's a lot of ruins in Mesopotamia.

Crashers get bombed, slobs make a mess

You know sometimes they'll even ruin your wife's dress

Hey! 'm Kate and I am a Taurus!

I love tomatoes and black-capped chickadees!

You burned a hole in my mind when I saw your cute behind

Waiting for bus number 99

Going to the store for HOT DOGS AND WINE!

just feeling the nitty gritty of the....whole thing

He's got his cloven hoof on the clutch.

Oh! Ow! I'm sitting on his tail.

Girrrrllll from Ipanema…. Sheeee goes to GREENLAND!

Space junk---laser bombs---ozone holes

Better put up my umbrella!

Ooh let it drip down the sides, who cares

My first boyfriend told me this song was about cum dripping down the side of your hips, but I dunno.

A glove slap to a little ole face will get you satisfaction. Glove slap baby glove slap glove slap I don't take crap glove slap shut your big Yap.

Your number's been disconnected

Your number's been disconnected

Your number's been disconnected

Your number's been disconnected

Keith Strickland was cute as a button

Back in the day back in the day

The Van Allen Belt!

Where's that motorboat?

He's in the motorboat.

Her man's in the motorboat, give her back her man!

Huh? Get a job?!

What for?

I'm tryna think...

Waitin' for bus number ninety-nine...

Goin' to the store for HOT DOGS and WINE!!!!

I’m not no Limburger

There goes a narwhal!

"IT WASN'T A ROCK ... "

I liked your Chevy Duster.

I liked your brand-new trailer.

I certainly misheard this lyric, "Tin roof.....rusted!"

I thought it was "Tin Roof...RUSTIC!"

"It's the summer of love, love, love I'm in love with love, love, love."

He's pointing his pitchfork at me. He's in the front seat of my car!

Motor, motor

Broken hearted

Rusted, rotted

Falling apart

A lock of hair

A belt he wore

It's not enough

I need more...

Ah, hero worship

He deserves it

I PRESERVE IT!

She drove a Plymouth Satellite Faster than the speed of light

We're in the basement!

I'm so tired of this vacuum

Need a man to help soon

Don't need a man to make a move on me

I need a man to move in with me

Don't need a man to treat me mean

I need a man to help me clean!

~ every DLer's dream...

I ain’t no student of ancient culture,

Before I talk I should read a book

It was a giant clam!

These lyrics are just awful.

R66 that's a commonly misheard lyric it really goes your mom's a cunt.

R67 owns one CD/record; B-52s' Love Shack.

It's awesome! You guys have got to hear it!

some say she’s from Mars or one of the seven stars ⭐️ that shine after three-thirty in the morning

^ that intergalactic gossip angered Freddy terribly

His earlobe fell in the deep

let's get that thing in the oven!

Nip it in the bud!

SATURN!

URANUS!

- Fred Schneider, Juicy Jungle

Bouncing off the Satellites is such an underrated album. So many great songs. She Brakes For Rainbows is one of my favorite B-52s track.

Here comes Brenda...

I liked your color TV

But you looked at that color TV

More than me

More than me

Living simple and trying to get by

But honey, prices have shot through the sky

So I fixed up the basement

With what I was a-working with

Stocked it full of jelly jars

And heavy equipment

We're in the basement.

Pick 'em, hull 'em, put on the steam

That's how we fix butterbeans!

Take this party to the White House lawn

Things are down and dirty in Washington!

Whammy kiss me Whammy hug! Come on give me some Whammy! love!

I saw them last week in San Francisco, they were great. People went nuts for Cindy in particular and it seemed to make her very emotional.

girl from ipanema goes to greenland

remember wherever you go, there you are.

The various "hidden" references to gay sex:

Hey, I'm Fred the Cancerian from New Jersey

I like collecting records and exploring

The cave of the unknown

******************************************

Hi, my name is Ricky and I'm a Pisces

I love computers and hot tamales

******************************************

Hey, my name is Keith and I'm a

Scorpio from Athens, G-A and I like

To find the essence from within

(in those days tops were often called "GA" (Greek Active")

******************************************

Feet in the air

Sand in my hair

Oh, don't look back

Don't look behind you

Reckless drivin' on dirty back road

They do the Hip-O-Crit ...

Hippy hippy shake hippy hippy shake hippy shake

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no DON’T WORRY!

Hot Keith was a hot top?

*faints*

1974

Ricky Wilson drivin', like a sports car God I want you, like a fuel engine Energized line, like a road You ride me Like a road You ride me

Foot on the peddle Feet in the air Sand in my hair Oh, don't look back Don't look behind you Reckless drivin' on Dirty back Road

Love the B-52, but I saw a show about 10 years ago, and it was awful. They were too old back then to have the energy it takes to do their songs justice.

Also, stories about Kate being a complete bitch have started floating around which disappoints me.

Go Girl Go Girl Go Girl Go!

Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa!

R92 They've been doing it for the money for a while now. I love them too but I know what you mean. I saw them twice on a bill with the Go-Go's - first time in 1997 and the second time around 2011 - and the first time, they were amazing....the second time, Cindy and Kate looked like they were mentally compiling their shopping lists in their heads while singing.

I saw them on their penultimate tour, and, yeah, it was time.

First, it was in a theater but it sounded like they used the same sound mix they did when they played outdoor festivals. Hard to hear anything.

And any of the weird stuff from the first two albums got the same mix as the big songs like "Roam" and "Love Shack." All three of them were in no shape to dance, either.

It sounds like this final tour has had some emotional performances.

What will they do for money after the farewell tour? Kate's releasing solo albums and tours to keep the money going (guess her B&B is a money pit).

The Muzak money from Love Shack and Roam doesn’t leave them living comfortably?

I want to know what my demigodess Tracy wormsworth will do now.

Tin roof, rusted!

Don't need a man to treat me mean

I need a man to help me clean!

There's a monster in my pants

And it does at naughty dance

When it moves in and out

Everybody starts to shout

I'm gonna jump in a crater!

See you later.

Who am I?

Where have I been?

Where am I going?

Do I need any luggage?

Can I bring my mother?

Tell it, tell it, tell it like it T-I-IS!

I would have wanted a peek at the monster in Keith's pants.

If he moved it in and out I'd shout for sure!

They do the Shu-Ga-Loo!

They do the SHY TUNA!

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...

Years ago, I worked with dizzy older woman named Claire, she stayed at the company way past 65, she was such a trip. She was our department's secretary.

When she entered the area of the room where a colleague and I sat, he'd sing Planet Claire, she seemed to enjoy the lyrics.

She came from Planet Claire

I knew she came from there

She drove a Plymouth Satellite

A-faster than the speed of light

Planet Claire has pink air

All the trees are red

No one ever dies there

No one has a head

HAMBURGER ADS POP UP IN MY HEAD!

Remember: wherever you go, there you are!

We said space driver, give it a spin

And take us to some places we ain't never been

I've got the devil juice in my caaaaaarburater!

I've got the devil in my cigarette lighter.

I don't need no battery.

Sh-bobble!

Debbie's coming in for a landing!!!!

Funky little shack! Fun-ky Li-ttle Shack!

Living Simple, and trying to get by, but honey prices have shot to the sky!

I said froze you!

A bit OT, a friend used to sing, "TEN ROOM RUSTIC!"

I'm in shipping, if you're receiving

Cuz what I'm seeing I ain't believing!
