Rock Lobster / Love Shack (B-52's) - Day 9

The first time I heard Rock Lobster, I think I may have stopped breathing for a full minute. It was the strangest, most amazing cacophony I had ever heard, and I knew it was going to be a piece of music that would change my life. I borrowed a B-52’s album from my cousin, not really knowing it was a permanent borrow, and played it to death. Strobe Light. Planet Claire. Private Idaho. Never had I heard anything like it. When I moved back to Long Island in the mid-eighties and found the radio station W.L.I.R., I knew I was home. They were spinning the B-52’s and so many other alternative musicians. I was hooked. Then came the summer of love, nineteen eighty-nine. Living in a sweet apartment in Elmont with Jan and Ellen and then Vinny, living the music of my life, finally being myself for the first time ever. And then it hit. Love Shack. One of the most amazing party songs ever recorded. So today’s song is two songs, to celebrate Fred, Ricky, Keith, Kate and Cindy! Please enjoy Fred’s seventies porn-fro, some sick dance moves, and look out for that bikini whale! And please note Supermodel of the World, RuPaul, in Love Shack baby!
