Private Idaho

[LKaramazov]

Please tell me that he didnt just say "swimin round and round like the deadly hands of a radium clock"? Its IMPOSSIBLE for there to be a better line than that.

[teamresell]

These gals are so incredible. Energetic fun wild and ready to party. I'm in. Sign me up. B-52s Rock. XOXO RT

[estolieman]

i really do think that the 80's hair styles and fashion need to make a total come back

[JuniorBuda]

En este día retro le dedico esta canción a mi Pao Pao cumpleañera!! :

you're living in your own private idaho

living in your own private idaho

wa! on the ground like a wild potato

don't go on the patio

beware of the pool, blue bottomless pool

it leads you straight right through the gate that opens on the moon

[gusneaker]

31 years of this song... and counting!!!

[StuMcKoo]

Fred could really rock a 'stache back in the day.

John Lennon said his all time favorite album was The B-52's first album-imagine that!

[adduxe]

1) Didn't know Mr. Bean was a singer before he became an agent! :-)

2) How did they do those hair?

[albertank]

True greeeeeat!! :o)

[L0vezPeppah85]

what does this song mean anyways? I love it, but what does idaho have to do with bottomless pools and dangerous patios?

[imallearsru]

From "The Urban Dictionary"

"It means "living inside an Idaho potato", or a very small space. Metaphorically, it refers to someone who is not paying attention because he is daydreaming, or under the influence, or otherwise wrapped up within his own very narrow sphere of interest or frame of reference.

Car Driver: Damn! That guy just pulled out in front of me as if I weren't here! We almost crashed!

Passenger: Yeah, he's just yakking away on his cellphone, in his own private Idaho."

[L0vezPeppah85]

ah, I get it... sorta. The lyrics still make no sense.

[22reTOYOTA]

I enjoy living a life without rules. Im 40 and could do anything I want. Wife and kids just ruin my goals for the future. Maybe thats way I dont have any.

[desiguy3]

imallearsru you are right, this isn't a dig at the state of idaho but a state of mind. This idea is very similiar to the one in that old Beatles song "Mr nowhere man" but put ina more fun distinct B52 way.

[panda2621]

I live in Idaho :D

[dickiesue]

@panda2621 awsome!!!! XD

[BertisEvil66]

Cool Cool !!!!!!

[ragueneau]

They come last month to Lima, Peru. Here there they have a huge amount of fans and the concert was sold out. The B-52's were a huge success since their beginning with Rob Lobster and this song and Party Out of Bounds were #1 hits on their remixed version included in the album Party Mix. Thak you guys for the great perfomance you offered here in Lima!!!!!

[tippytoes4me]

thanks to the b52's i'm living in my own private idaho lol

[beefychew]

honest to god, i have never come across any band with so much stuff i loved on the first play. im up to the fourth album and every song is a monster! haha even the new album is a beast!

[gesssu]

[Mod60s]

This is in-freakin-credible! I still have the 8 Track of this song and more! Thanks God I finally got to meet them in person at a tiny club in LA in 1989 ! I have all their autographs that I shall worship forever!
