@exeuroweenie

I'm almost 50 and I agree...sad ol' gits eh? Gotta laugh! :-D

[exeuroweenie]

In my forties and I've never had the chance to kiss Kate Piersons pineapple.I'm elderly,and my entire life's been futile for that reason.

@exeuroweenie

What a ridiculous statement that made me laugh for ages.

[fuggity1]

one of the great car driving songs ever... when they hit the chorus you step on the gas.slightly buzzing unison...sick.

[KillBaddBugz]

[Mrscreenagers]

[runly1]

I'm seeing them tonight... their first show ever in their Hudson Valley home. CAN'T WAIT!

[roddy76to86]

@runly1

They must be ancient by now ! Oh well, as Ian Anderson of "Jethro Tull" put it, "Too old to rock, too young to die". This channel would appreciate a brief review of the show.

[runly1]

@roddy76to86 They're certainly not too old to rock! Holy shite! Kate was bouncing all over the place, Keith was smokin' that guitar and Fred was running all over the stage. Cindy wasn't as active as the others, but still has a rockin' voice. They all do! And they were backed by a guitarist/keyboardist, drummer, and a quite hot smoking female guitarist, as well. They did newer songs and plenty of the old classics. Encore was Planet Clair and, of course, Rock Lobster which brought down the house!

@runly1

You've made me jealous !

I can only think of The Damned who have been on the go as long as the B-52's from that musical era.

[runly1]

@roddy76to86 The Psychedelic Furs started performing around the same time as the B-52s. They took a hiatus in the '90s when Richard toured with Love Spit Love, but the Furs started touring again in 2000 and have been going strong ever since. I've seen them several times in the past few years and they rock a lot harder than you might imagine! They performed with the B-52s at the Hollywood Bowl a few years ago.

@runly1

Then of course the Rolling Stones keep going on, and on, and on...

[runly1]

@roddy76to86 But, of course! =D

[vivalaskeek]

@roddy76to86 Devo. Don't forget Devo. I saw them a few months ago and it was the most energetic show I've been to!

[runly1]

@roddy76to86 Sadly, though, they didn't play my favorite track... STROBE LIGHT!! =(

[Phrankster163]

So nice that a song about kissing people´s pineapples(!), can make a hit on youtube.

[Toomfath]

Let's all have fun! And dance in the strobelight..;p

Thanks for sharing this great song..!

[roddy76to86]

@Toomfath

My pleasure. And it's certainly proved to be popular, with a lot of views within a relatively short time.

[nitedrive]
