The B-52's Legal Tender

[stretchmonster2]

I really like this platform of commenting on videos. It releases a lot of my tensions after a busy day. But could you guys lighten up a little on the censorship. I see people on other videos using the "F" word and all kinds of profanity. I comment on preferring to see Kate in a mini instead of Bono, and I get censored??

[LRigs25B]

Lighten up!! These comments get approved first. It's not censorship, it's not wanting to have ten thousand spam comments on my videos!!

[stretchmonster2]

Hadn't thought of it that way... my bad!

[JonEddie1971]

Cindy at 2:09, she was always my favorite, esp. on "Private Idaho"..

[mazzarge]

Yet another great song from the world,s best band.

[goytabr]

I absolutely LOVE this song! I hope they got 10, 20, 30 million dollars (NOT counterfeit!) for it... :-)

[dasenuff]

better than the pixies? NO! better than the clash?hell no! better than the ramones? NO NO NO..better than u 2 ? heeeell no!

[thered41car]

i always loved this band! U2...? yuck, i hate U2...talk about wildly over-rated!

[stretchmonster2]

Who's better is debatable. It's all subjective. What's not subjective is... Who would you rather see in a mini? Kate Pierson or Bono ... I'd say Kate, no contest!!!!

[nicolexxxd]

best band. period.

[KimIsMissing]

they're so creative!!

[rodup88]

are you being ironic???

[brij2far25346]

saw this video at a surf movie in santa cruz in early 80's .... awesome then too !

[geoffolehane]

SImple silliness but it has always been one of my favorite B-52 vids. And Kate is gorgeous in this one.

[luvithian]

after all these years they still have it I heart you Freddy i want your babies :)

[stretchmonster2]

I feel like fainting "even more" when I look at Kate at 2:32 to 2:34.

[101Volts]

1:44 What kind is that Guitar? I have never seen it anywhere else.

[jimbailey69]

It's a Mosrite

[rodup88]

Kate looks fine at 1:00~1:01

[old64]

are these guys in the rock&roll hall of fame. they should be!

[rodup88]

Best song ever!!

[stretchmonster2]

My only complaint.... Kate!! Why no mini????

[stretchmonster2]

I feel like fainting when I look at Kate at 0:49.

[butchvelvet]

love this song! Played at my favorite club Badlands

[LRigs25B]

where did Keith go??

[Souvlaki93]

my favourite ever)

[nans]

Haha, this song rocked my teenagehood! xD

[101Volts]

It is because The B-52's are one of the best bands ever and real music these days is rare. Their first album is flawless and that is rare for any band to make a flawless album, Let alone their first album!

[101Volts]

This song is so happy, I like it! What kind of a guitar is that at 1:43 ? I have not seen it before! (I had to put the question mark a space away so it would link to the frame!)

[Spectreman]

It looks like a DeArmond Jetstar, although I have not seen one with that type of bridge or pickups before. The body is dead sexy, tho. Especially in yellow.

[hsnterprize]

I was in the 7th grade back in 1983 when this song/video came out. This was a great song, and I'm glad I remember this tune...the video caught my eye one day when USA Network aired music videos at the time, and I haven't gotten over it since.

80's music was, is, and always will be the best music that's ever come out. Being alive back in the 80's was so much fun...I really miss those days. Today's MTV really sucks big time.

LONG LIVE THE 80'S!!!!!!!

[booboobay1]

at scene 2:58-Jimmy Neutron hair!

The b-52's ROCK! (and so does their hair!)!!

[booboobay1]

Their first music video!

[disco3md]

my best friend turned me onto this song..i was 16...what great memories!! thanks George G.

[BIGBOY2TON]

I love this song!!

[fiskris]

wow, I love this song! also my first album purchase at the ripe age of 10. why is it not included on their greatest hits??? they also never sing it in concert. what a loss!!

[dkraft1]

OH MY GOD MY NEIGHBORS HATED ME IN MY APARTMENT COMPLEX...!!!

In 1983 I was 24 years old and I would crank up this song at all hours.

Good Times..!!

[kittenkiller69696969]

timeless, this is punk rock.

[youdoxie]

B52s is the shiat. 100,000 times better than anything on MTV today. Some times I steal a dance from one of these old '80s videos (B52s or DEVO) and keep at it all night at a dance club.

[allycat52s]

i luv how in the end everyones trying not to get any papers in their face... but then kate is like screaming! lol :)

[booboobay1]

:) YEAH ITS HILARIOUS!

[psykokiddo]

Cool song!!!

Lol.

[UnderseaCaveman]

LOL....This should be the Federal Reserves Theme Song. Greenspan would love it!

"Goin' to the bank, tryin' to pass that trash"

(fav lyric)

[Puppyizzy]

i love this song!

[PredictionBoy]

this is my favorite video of theirs

kate and cindy are so cute, and the atmosphere of the vid matches the music so well.

[hissykittie68]

If it wasn't for this song I would not be the person I am today! This was the song that made me fall in love with The B-52's. I was 15 years old when it came out and I promptly researched their catalog and bought everything that they had recorded up until then. God I love them so!

[edubr999]

DUDE...

thats my first record !!

i was just 10 yo when i've got this LP, back in 1982 !!!

i told my mom...please, gimme some cash to buy my first record !!

she gave me...and bang !!!

mr. record store; please i want to buy that B-52'S album called - WHAMMY !!!!

hauhauahhauhauahauauhauhaauhah­uaahuah

LOVE YOU B-52'S !!!!!

[discipleoflerxst]

I love the B-52's....this song reminds me of when I was in my teens playing these records...AMAZING harmonies, awesome molodies...great riffs...really unique lyrics...what a great band!

[percy1905]

oops Ricky.. =(...

[percy1905]

Keith ROCKS.. hello..

RIP Keith.. your so loved forever!!

[LRigs25B]

RIP?!? I just saw him with the band....

[mikeyirish1967]

Keith does rock, but it was Ricky who passed away many years ago. We miss him.

[jinxkies]

Fred Rocks!!

[jinxkies]

i love how they show the instruments, with no one playing them, to the music,,,super cool band!!!!

[Superspicychile]

They are my absolute favorite band since the dawn of time, this is my second favorite song. Mesopotamia is #1.

[Ultramar0270]

I did search this song for years, when I was child listen it forever. 5 stars for this video.

[americonasc]

me too i stayed so happy when i found it

[resnoex1]

Best B'52 song ever.

In usa,americans does not like that much,they belive love shack is better. i don't think so.

[Grygazol]

Love Shack just got much more airplay in the U.S. It's still a good song and it made a lot of people check out their earlier songs, which is a good thing.

[lordbrett]

Really cool. Very up to date as well. If a band released this today, that would be hype...

[WeMustBeStopped]

Why is it that I love this song so much?

[chrishead1]

I LOVE THIS SONG AND THIS VIDEO.

I LOVE THE B52's!!!

[kiheisun]

This is a wonderful video... I love the part with the guitar notes close up and the fade to Cindy's boufant.

[MishuTaste]

I want gold based currency.

[lordmjh]

Make a song about counterfitting US money now and the Secrit Service will be at your door.Only Kate and Cindy can make that criminal act so sexy.

[AHOYKIPPER]

We're in the basement!!! With heavy equipment, fnar fnar

[parkman35]

Cindy is just too sexy!

[FairDealDan]

Wow...I get turned on when they sing "...& HEAVY....EQUIPMENT!!!"

[uglyblackjohn]

Both girls were so aluring... Does anyone know if a video exists for Loveland or Girl From Ipanema? I loved the Bs.This music was just fun-for no good reason at all, just fun.

[tregibbs]

Cindy Wilson is so friggin sexy in this video.... Jesus!

[deanie1974]

This is one of my favorites!!!!! Thank you for posting!!

[smokinhalf]

whoever posted these videos, thanks really ty. i hope the new cd generates more intrest in the b52's

[ehrcali]

i have seen them twice in concert, they sound just like the record/cd, refreshing since most of the artists today do not sound like there songs.

[aleigor]

I have to express my feelings about Cindy Wilson...what a beautiful and sexy girl she was.

[mirzoid]

i too have to express my feeling about cindy wilson....what a beautiful and sexy girl she was and still is.

[raymondgneal]

What do you mean WAS? STILL IS! Keep it coming, Cindy!

[burgundymouse]

I saw her first!! Truly lovely.

[Spectreman]

Word. I have always been/still am hot for Kate, but in this video especially, Cindy is drop dead sexy. Its the knowing smile and those big, half closed eyes. Makes you melt.

[weslinkinbizkit1994]

Engraçado... As imagens parecem da época dequele seriado do Batman dos anos 60.

Muito bom o B-52's.

I'm from Brazil.

[matazap]

Hehehe. A ideia eh essa mesma. Pegar o visual dos anos 1950 e 1960. Tava igual doido atras do clipe e do nome da musica.

LOL. That was the idea. Show 1950's and 1960's look. That's the reason for those wigs and so on. I was dying crazy looking for that video clip and song's name.

I'm Brazilian too!

[berndawg123]

Capoeira for the win!

[nicolexxxd]

ahhhhhmazing.

[NEPTUNEMARIUS]

Does still play music?

[lotreamon01]

one of the best band ever. My personal favorites....always make me dance,and smile...

[jonnj1975]

I wish music and videos could always be like they were back then...wacky, inventive, fun...not like today where it's contrived, formulaic, and all about flashing T & A lol.

[arewewe2]

"whammy!" is the best f*cking record evEr!! B-52's forever!!

[tioramone]

Great Song...

R.I.P Ricky Wilson

[ignaciojork]

I miss 80´s!!! Memories from good days Where the people were more spontaneous... As well as musics...

[mrhoffzz]

I have all lp´s from they on my collection, today there´s no more musicans like they was on the 80´s! que pena!

[hsnterprize]

I'm of the "early MTV generation", and I remember when this video got a LOT of airplay. I think I was in the 7th grade when this song first came out back in 1983. Wow...80's music was so awesome. I love reliving the days of my youth with songs like this. LONG LIVE THE 80'S!!!

[starchild34]

We're of the same age....good times eh?

[herrokiiitty]

all of their songs can make you dance, no matter what mood the song maybe in.

i love this song.

[arthurteagarden]

cindy's best wigs ever!!!

[jomcbar1]

Man Kate at 2:35 cracks me up.

[rareluck]

We played this song in our wedding. I swear it's the truth!!! :)

[herrokiiitty]

Amazing band.

[jomcbar1]

Yes Kate looks like she should eat something, by the way the dog on the cover is going to have a great night, that is not sugar on the floor on the cover of Whammy. There is something about this band. I can't describe it, but it always gets me going.

[jomcbar1]

Awesome video, vintage and a classic. I am grateful that I grew up with this music in our generation. They were very much ahead of their time.

[ketgata]

gente...q saudade desse tempinho bom...ai ai..b52 era td d bommmm

[Dizzydog214]

My favorite B-52 song...why hasn't it been used in a cop/criminal movie about counterfeiting? It would be perfect.

[TheRealInvaderZim]

I have to say watching the B52's is refreshing change from alot of the media generated stuff that you see now,of course this was before MTV became a reality sit-com network and Fuse became the extreme rad-yo-stunt network

[jonnj1975]

One of the greatest bands of all time!!!

[Fla1977]

The 80's

[DickScary]

I'm so glad someone posted this...I've been looking for awhile!

[natesot]

OH MY GOD remember back in the day when MTV was a music tv chanel, they play3ed this video all the time. God i love this video and song.

[hooker3586]

sooo cheesy and soo good

[gretaspaten]

How does Kate spin like that and still keep on her wig? :-) LOL Superb video - Classic B's!

[azzleeka]

awesome video and song

[nathangeli]

fantastic

[fanblow]

Is Ricky Wilson at the end before Kate Pierson?

[missteel]

yup :)

[natesot]

YES

[missteel]

yes

[diogofucker]

Legal Legal Legal

[Christina10000]

I love this video and song! I only wish I had a wig collection like Kate and Cindy though:) Thanks for uploading this!

[kell4809]

love this song

[metalwater]

I love the B52's!!! God bless Ricky Wilson...his genius will never die.

[mikey42]

Amen to that, metalwater. I first saw the B's in back in '82 in Tucson. I'm so happy that I'm one of the lucky few who got to watch Ricky play.

[loquitoluchito7]
