B-52'S junebug

[Hereismytwocents2011]

We did a fun modern dance to this in college.

[7855waldo]

True story: There used to be an Alabama politician named June Bugg.

[grease58]

LOVIN' the BIG hair!! After all- they were named "B-52's" after Southern-style bouffants!!

[LayonaDavenport]

They were light years ahead of their time and now society is finally where they were in 1979!

[ezarrialeon]

Very good!!!

[panther105]

Cindy, you look so sad here... and starting to get a little chunky, girl....

[NightshadesPromise2]

@panther105 Yeah I noticed too. She looks so tired, prolly no sleep.

[tecdessus]

@panther105 Maybe she just wanted to be at home instead ? and Chunky ? come on....

[EyeKahnography]

Saw them live with the Go-GO's and Psych Furs a few years back... OMG best live performance ever!

[cjbelsito64]

I wonder how they got to make tht weird noise in the beginning

[L00kng]

I've never heard this one before. This is Art.

[dawggybonz]

is that ricky's guitar keith's playin?

[dawggybonz]

at that moment in time, kate was the sexiest creature alive!

[rizerburnz]

Fricken Awesome!

[shrumpkin]

This song frickin rocks!

[salldarling]

there is no bad before or since like them.they had there own genre.that genre is b52 lol awesome band.x

[roguearoo]

...hey there, Junebug...you sure look good, dancing in the mud...

[MrDenizen]

lol, imagine these guys taking the stage on Pop Idol or X-Factor now... they'd be run out of town by a lynch mob. Class bands like these sometimes take years to be fully appreciated.

[ChristyFisty]

Great song. CLASSIC record. <3

[mindidaisy]

3:15

"Go girl, go girl, go go girl"

"Let's get in the mud!"

"Go girl, go girl, go go girl"

"I think I'm in love"

Hahaa, <3 the lyrics!!!

[luckystar85]

those women are from another planet!

[Hells2nd]

my mom said that this was my song ^_^ lulz

[whitefeet1]

3:30 .... why god gave us the Telecaster!

[chewiebaby]

Wow, I'm in love with Kate, I hear she's a Taurus and she likes Black-Capped Chickadees. Now I just want to meet her and have a baby now!

[macavenue1]

if retarded people could somehow write music. This is what it would sound like.

[tecdessus]

@macavenue1 Have you tried?

[reivenlocke]

@macavenue1

And what have you done with your life, retard.

Dismissed.

[TabanezDiogo]

@macavenue1 But it would get even worse if you wrote.

Sucker

¬¬

[JohnnyLovely2]

i love all their songs

[sideshowpolo]

WOW crazy

[VTMAN750]

Kate was a little Hottie !!! She's 62 now WOW !!!

[ziggy72170]

@VTMAN750 ,, The Original, Mature Cougar !... I would be overwhelmed, just to have Dinner with this Women .

[RaguelAngelofBalance]

@VTMAN750 And she looks great even now.

[rbeun]

Because the money grubbing cock-suckers aren't making any money by you or I watching this already done a long time ago video for free. That's the only reason no matter what fucking lame ass excuse that comes out of their waste of skin pie-holes. Fucking corporate fucking vampires. Like they haven't made enough money already on all the video's that they have erased. Spineless You-Tube is no better, letting the sharks dictate policy and allow them to suppress our rights to free expression.

[reivenlocke]

Let's glide behind a wall of vegetation; no prying eyes on

A love celebration!

Let's glide behind that wall of vegetation,

I don't want no prying eyes when I give you a love sensation!

Sounds a lot like The Smiths there!

[extremeriot]

The best garage band ever, love Cindy and Kate so much...their voices compliment each other so well!!!!!

[CusterFlux]

She was a spry 40 here ...

[murphybrown55]

i would so love to be able to have kates hair!! its soo cool, maybe i can get a wig :)

[imallearsru]

Kate is just absolutely stunning.

[DancingSpiderman]

Shake those maracas, Cindy !

[bloom47403]

Cindy is sexy as hell!!

[KimIsMissing]

Most creative inspiring people ever!!! LOVE THEM AND THEIR FAB HAIR!!!

[SouthHanover39]

No way! You had a t-top cutlass supreme also? I put an 8 inch spoiler on mine and now I promise it goes 10 mph faster! I want to get an underglow kit for it too!

[peakskill]

hi kittiy kat.

remember carnegie hall? maynard ? tee top cutlass supreme? That was a great night. i told you that night i was a great fan and i still am.

rockit.

keep those great party tunes pumpin"

[TheHoopify]

Cindy's over the top vocals take this song to the next level!!She's so hot with her b-hive and the sexy silver hot pants!The Cosmic Tour was amazing!!!!!

[AthenA2ptO]

@TheHoopify idk but im likin kate myself with her big ass hair lol

[matroe007]

In my next life I want to be a B 52.

[Luquita444]

Very good!

[heavenlyworlds]

Kate's so fucking hot.

[extremeriot]

this is my favorite B-52's song. COOL!!!!!

[localflava]

Cindy is amazing. Love her!!!!

[L0vezPeppah85]

I agree 100%

[c0ri]

One of the coolest bands ever! Love this song! Thanks for posting yo

[Coffee45]

I Love it!! The B-52's are so fucking awesome it's ridiculous!

[DrMasopic]

I dunno, this song has stuck with me my entire life and I still love it! B-52 = Awsome

[ragdollaugust]

oooooooo one of my favorites!

[ZoaTV]

Is it me, or did the girls seem just a little bit out of tune?

[ninjallison]

maybe a little.. that "junebug" note is hard to hit huh? haha:)

[sdave101]

That was the beauty of the B-52's...they were the ultimate garage band. A group if kids who just wanted to get out there and jam without that polished sound everyone is used to. Primus is next in that category of love it or leave it... this is us

[OrchestrationOnline]

Probably having problems hearing themselves and each other through the monitors.

Cindy is so cute! I'll never forget the tour supporting Wild Planet back in 1981. One of the best gigs I ever went to.

[goblinking169]

cool man so cool

[ValerieBarlow]

The best live band since Big Brother and the holding company.

[HypnoToad72]

Fred can sing better than any of the parrots featured on that American Idol show.

Nice to have people with voices that don't sound like banshees or anything else cookie-cutter in the biz too. Amazing how so many people seem to hate anything that's original or different...

[thomasmoredamian]

RIGHT ON! if I hear one more banshee diva I'll barf. These folks are not robots: they are pop gods and goddesses.....the real thing. I love 'em.

[judasplow25]

I have never seen the girls look sexier!!

[heavenlyworlds]

These guys should be in the Hall of Fame by now. They have great talent.

[wemustrepent]

Fred is integral to this experiment.

Such idiotic arguing was certainly not present in the Soviet Union.For over three decades,the Soviet Union was developing electrocuteness and applying it to develop strange new secret cute and fun weapons of incredible power and capability. They sustained the largest fun development program ever launched by any nation,and they still kept it effectively hidden from prying western eyes.Stare at the american with the moraccas. Is there anything cuter than that?

[judasplow25]

That fred sure got a sweet meal ticket with those two very talented women.

[lukeslandspeeder]

id loved to have had babies with both them./ not the guy though. oVo

[lukeslandspeeder]

hes not singing hes like a socrates who rhymes storys while the girls sing the good.  ovo

[Vantazzy]

That man can't sing, but the overall picture is: WONDERFULL

You don't have to be able to sing like a god to make a hit... :)

[lukeslandspeeder]

yeah i watched junebug again. dances /// // ///// // /.

junebug middlefinger.

[willie33040]

I wish I was there at that concert! Looks and sounds like they were just having a really good time! ( ^ _ ^ )

[lukeslandspeeder]

also whoever those people with connections to the band you said are giving you a hard time over sharing and letting "new" people know about the band thus making even more fans for the band and money dont seem like friends of the band to me lol.

i bet if we asked kate about theyre vids being on here shed say shes loves it and has no problem.

its those grease hair record companys that managed theyre records that do. cue last of the dinosaurs agn.

[lukeslandspeeder]

these record companys r already outdated anyways when the internet-mp3 stuff came out.

they should just give it up by now and r guarding theyre last scraps..which they are now. they went the way of the record,cassette, "even though i still love both better than cd because theyre not compressed" and the pay phone and instant camera pictures and film.

besides bands should "want" to have theyre stuff on here because people then go out and buy theyre albums.

[lukeslandspeeder]

they are taking off almost all the B52 videos! noooo.

how can someone have a copyright claim on a song if its only being viewed?. sounds like crap to me.

[giantsno1]

I know im getting all sorts of crap for just sharing from people with connections to the band, several of my stuff been yanked and i have been threatened, maybe one day i will get to post more, even better maybe they will release a real concert DVD.

[fiutfku]

Thanks for posting mate - this is a great performance by band that deserves to be viewed.

I'm sure Fred, Kate, Cindy and Keith would agree.

[maximilian333]

@giantsno1 Look into the rules on "fair use" and "fair comment" and make sure you follow the rules explicitly. Usually it means that the song or video is a vehicle for your comments (you can type subtitles with your comments,etc). Look online , there are ways to foil this silly desperate lawyers with their false claims. I believe your videos constitute fair use but I'm not an attorney.

[roddy76to86]

@giantsno1

Threatened ?! That's ridiculous. Total wankers that need a good kicking.

[phoenixnyc]

Because the copyright in this case is for the concert video, not the song.

[kneejerker]

@lukeslandspeeder

Perhaps you should a class in copyright law and you might have a better understanding of these matters.

[xraycortina]

@lukeslandspeeder What these f*ck*rs don't realise is that if people discover a new song on youtube, they are much more likely to buy the record than if they have never heard it at all. Damn the lot of them!

[moosey62]

Cosmic Thing was my favourite record from the day I got my hands on it. I never thought they'd better Whammy but all of CT was and still is brilliant.

[johnneedslove]

sexy kate indeed

[dustygrady]

Sexy Kate looks great. Can't believe she's 60 now.

[heavenlyworlds]

You got that right! She's mighty fine and hell of a hot redhead!

[AthenA2ptO]

work them cowbells fred!! lol

[replicas79]

great song! great band!

[heavenlyworlds]

How come Cindy looks like she's not having a very good time?? Anyone agree?

[replicas79]

she left soon after the band...

[KimIsMissing]

I love them and their music, you would have to be inhuman to dislike them as people. They seem so down to earth and fun!

[theglamkinks]

WoW,ChILLs!!!

[ajbellis]

3:35- awesome to the max

[UnderdogFilms666]

Fred has a look of Kenneth Williams when he sings. Does anyone agree?

[algoyo]

I think he's more like Dr Zachary Smith out of Lost In Space.

[heavenlyworlds]

Love Fred's dance towards the end

[heavenlyworlds]

Kate is so great.

[KimIsMissing]

I love them, they're awesome.

[PG13RX]

Does anyone know what concert this is?

[Cissneix]

Hah, chains dont work.

[grungegirl23]

yay! love them they were my first cocert my lovely mom took me to see them at the pnc bank arts center in jersey, i love my mom she was so awsome i miss her

[goldenagenut]

What a great memory! If she took you to see the B-52s for your first concert you had one cool mom! :) She's still with you,don't worry.

[grungegirl23]

Hey thank you !!!! I apretitate that, she was pretty cool :)

[coonish28]

I think if you love this song then you might be a reject of society (ME) or a lover of Big hair and to much make up (ME) Or you love listening to music that mainstream society doesnt really understand (ME) This song makes me love (ME)

[kalisteboat]

Don't worry ! Excepted for the make-up i am your double.

Hurry-Up, now you are not alone anymore ;-)

[kathleenirish]

I love cindy and kate's outfits! and the hair! awesome. I saw them at a club called Axis in Boston in the summer of '89. My husband and I still say that's the best concert we have ever been to.

[jolandasterbloem]

ping pong

[ILoveB52s]

LOVE THIS SONG!!!!One of their best!

[Luigifan18]

Yeah, it sure is.

[Cris43130]

One of the greatest albums ever recorded. It's like a greatest hits collection because almost every cut received at least some radio airplay, and it really captured the feel of the south in a way that none of their albums before or since ever did.

[pfunkky]

You are soooooo right, this album is like a "greatest hits album"! Every song keeps you dancing and makes you feel young at heart and kooky! This is a very, very special band, Cindy and Kate are the two best female duo ever. No other females even come close to their style of harmonizing and singing. Hauntingly harmonizing explains it best I think, I really feel that the B52's come from another planet, the way Cindy and Kate move and dance is mesmerizing. Check out their older videos. G-MAG

[Cris43130]

Planet Claire, perhaps? ;=)

[coonish28]

This song makes me wanna quit my job and smoke pot all day!!!!!!

[kathleenirish]

Somehow I get the feeling you don't need any particular song or reason to smoke pot all day, do you now? hahahaha

[ILoveB52s]

In this video it looks like Kate and Fred have a thing!...Cindy barely sings to it!

[babylon122]

i don't think that would be possible. don't ask don't tell

[ILoveB52s]

I know,but it's a funny thought!

[ILoveB52s]

It would be funny,though.

[allycat52s]

aahahahahahaa

i get it...

cuz everyone makes just SUCH a big deal it!

psh

[brystro]

It was great, but, it could've used a little more cowbell.

[percy1905]

Does anyone have The Queen Of Las Vegas..

OMG.. I am dieing to see a clip of that live!!!

=)

[iluvbirit]

GO ORGANIC!!!

[Luigifan18]

YEAH!  I SUPPORT KEVIN TRUDEAU!!!

[aimylou08]

Dont use pestisites :D

[waterproofpie]

I <3 the gankogui

[rsslvscff]

WILD, WACKY, and WONDERFUL! The B-52's reflect my personality.

[aimylou08]

Ditto!

[booperocks]

i love this song. its perfect poetry. it rocks! my nickname is junebug 2!

[charlotteguy7]

Hey there Junebug. I see you dancin' in the mud. IN THE RED MUD!

[squall600]

gotta have more cowbell "i have a fever and the only prescription i need is more cowbell"

[iluvbirit]

OMG!

that is THE FUNNIEST skit on snl to this day!!

[toysrdave]

This is one of my favorite songs. I just love love love the B-52's they really made me feel like I was normal. I was a really weird crazy/musicaly inclined/effeminate kid & The B-52's make me feel HAPPY! :o) I love them & this song!

[phoenixnyc]

I read once how they constantly get people coming up to them and saying, "You guys got me through high school."

(and add me to the list!)

[wesleyan97]

Me too.

[diedra]

ditto here

[aimylou08]

Same here :D I would love to meet them.. I used to listen to this song in the summer in high school.. And that was about 5 months ago!

[Skexie]

Woooo!! COWBELLS!!!!!!!!

[pompompouf]

what a band,merci,gracias,than you,eskerik asko.....

[GoonerAli]

Stumbled across this and now I wanna watch 60's Star Trek's. Weird bit got me going. lol.

[tacomadc]

This band is beyond genius, perfect mixture of the ethos and pathos. God bless you guys.

[crazymarilynooee]

I cant believe that i have listened to them for half my life. they are really original. I like them now as much as i did when i was 12

[RodStewartfan1]

Actually the beginning of the song was in a commercial last year or 2006I think. I think it was for Target.

[smokinhalf]

was this music in a tv commercial? anyway this is one of the great songs from the b52s I hope the new album will get new ppl to look at their work. This song never got the recognition it deserved. Most ppl think of the b 52's as "one hit wonders" but they've been rockin for almost 30 years!!

[Absduckie]

Fred is so cute in that video, "look at me, I'm playing an instrument!" :oD I want to be a junebug and play in the water with Kate...

[super1800gtr]

Great random lyrics! to Timeless tunes

[fenthedog]

i second that!timeless music i mean! dont have a clue what these posts about fred are about? 52`s rock and can blow all these contemporary bands off stage!

[juricell]

The music is timeless-whenever you need a boost in your mood-B-52's

[deadwoodmountain]

What's Fred Schneider's deal? Whenever I hear him talk I feel like I need to go to my hairdresser and by some "product".

[lastcrazyhorn]

I don't, but I love watching him perform.

[tinian33]

it's called "sprechstimme"

[lastcrazyhorn]

God bless Schoenberg, right?

Got my undergrad in music ed . . .

[deadwoodmountain]

"I've got me a Chrysler as big as a whale..!!!...Love Shack!!!..Deadbeat Club!!!..Rock Lobster...down...down..!! Your brain is an ever changing kaleidoscope of moods and colors..."

Ahh..yes, Fred Schneider, one of the most prolific "sprechstimme" composers of our time...he's the J.S. Bach of his art..."You're what????"

[Absduckie]

It's not - you mean "Sprechgesang" ;o) Best regards from Germany

[tinian33]

Look up Fred's profile on Wikipedia; it talks about sprechstimme as his style of singing.

[Absduckie]

"Sprechstimme" is "speaking voice", "Sprechgesang" would best be translated as "spoken singing". So "Sprechstimme" is what you use when speaking, in contrast to a "Singstimme" ("singing voice"). What Fred does is "Sprechgesang".

[blueblushes]

they should have a vid for queen of las vegas i love that song and also a Vison of a kiss

[octavia9]

i am completely thrilled that i reign from the city that birthed these fucking rockers........... go athens ga!

[yxb1353]

Regarding the BBQ, maybe it was the odor of cooked meat from the BBQ in front of Cindy (and the rest of the band). The B-52's are all vegetarians, something VH1 didn't bother to research when some [fill in the blank]less marketing genius planned it. Of course, as media marketing mistakes go, it would pale in comparison to the fatal "Wee for a Wii" contest.

[johnneedslove]

go organic damn straight!!

[RadieCarter]

they always put on a great show!

[LunaSeaSane]

Word on the street is anti-depressants are the new ecstasy.

[Avariio]

All I know is that in-between that period Cindy was undergoing A LOT of stress.

[frambris]

Junebug gave name to the Amiga 600 motherboard.

[theitmoo1]

hey you got to be to do music like they did.

[Corrupt3142]

Thats probably why I like the B-52's so much, I'm always off my head haha.

[theitmoo1]

exactly :]
