B-52's Private Idaho

[Lieu3C4]

To review the development of Mondrian's work and realise what he was working out were the social arrangements, house by house, block by block, street by street, of New York (and elsewhere) relative to what part were played by block (in the path of his playschool progress, so to speak), makes them cliched squares more than a bowl of carkeys makes a 1970s party exit.

[sharonspaintings]

Love it

[nocioniisgod]

I wonder if they were on acid like crazy or just really quarky and weird lol. Its a tough call cuz even though this is some of the strangest and most bizarre music you can find, the harmonies are still crazy good and below the surface of the craziness its pretty frickin good music

[Antiks72]

they were wearing sixties fashion when it wasn't even style.

[DEPTrooper]

Twilight Zone references and strings in here. :P

[noobkillr69]

[moakley67]

This was my car jam of the morning! What a way to start the day!

[thomasegede666]

Thumbs up if the Jeff Hanneman-interview (of Slayer) brought you here :-)

[jlebesis]

Actually for those wondering, the bass on all their recordings is real bass guitar and live they use their bass player.

[TheDemoiselle]

Cindy and Kate are just fabulous

[richd506]

There will never be another B 52s that's for sure.

[LittleZachy]

There is no Bass Player in this video!

[101Volts]

@LittleZachy True, There's no bass guitarist. In the band's early years Kate played bass on the keyboards.

[Thud300]

More like this original good stuff please!!!

[ronkujawa]

Potato head!

[ma102968]

B-52's Private Idaho >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lady Idiot Gaga and Justin Emo Bibier

[101Volts]

@krifenix Those two are just pop stars, Just sayin'.

[donrivers88]

Talking Heads were in the same area

[mynameispaul0530]

152 Bieber fans can't find Idaho on a map.

[logicalMeta]

Thumbs up if you still hesitate to go out on the patio.

[2submit]

anone knows what this songs about?

[ronkujawa]

@2submit It's about living within yourself in a potato patch and searching for that perfect potato somewhere in Idaho!

[2submit]

@ronkujawa ohhh i see its all perfectly clear now...thanks..

[ronkujawa]

@2submit yes

[ronkujawa]

@2submit yes

[Francy4116]

as a teenager I listened to all the songs of B 52

[KENT38491]

Я в шоке

[LaunchLobster]

I think The Hives could cover this song well.

[raindog904]

Regrets people that are living in their own private Idaho

[olivehiggo]

The song has stayed with me since i was young! My dad used to play the B-52's when we drove throughout Australia from Sydney to the Melbourne, thanks for uploading! LOL i've always laughed at the singer behind at 0:18

[Chamex39]

This lyrics are abstract, that says it all. I love this music, brings great times and memories.

[Patrickjh1]

I'M WEARING HOCKEY PANTS!!!....this has lead me here

[dalluc]

YO NO QUIERO QUE ME ROMPAN EL ANO.

[siouxsieandziggy]

I have ALWAYS been in love with Cindy Wilson!

[gianella266]

My favorite part is 2:43 :D

[PanekPL]

@gianella266 no its not

[aavallone]

The B-52s are such a weird band.

[bambaito]

@aavallone my friend maybe but they are one of the greatest band in hystory o yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaa

[TheGreatIndoors1979]

...And the movie is great too.

[RMVL74]

Funny how at the 2:33 mark the disc skips and they go like "WTF"?, LOL.

[panther105]

Just KICK ASS !!!! This band rocked.....There never was any competition because they have always been in a class by themselves.

[bambaito]

@panther105 totaly agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[wendyspwnsu]

@panther105 exactly

[Tombstoneblues19]

I think their on cocaina!  That would explain the energy and strange lyrics.

[MrTsquared88]

what...... what exactly is this song about....?

i feel like if it had normal lyrics, but the same melody, it'd be fucking awesome. but the lyrics just completely turn me off.

[101Volts]

@MrTsquared88 I never fully analyzed the lyrics. Right now I think its about someone who's afraid of socializing because he/she fears messing things up.

[MrTsquared88]

@101Volts hmmmm. i never really thought of it that way. the B-52's lyrics are all so ridiculous and far fetched, that i never really tried to find deeper meaning in them. I just always heard a bunch of lyrics that dont really have much to do with each other. but i think you might be right, this song's about being afraid of socializing

[101Volts]

@MrTsquared88 Yeah, A lot of their lyrics don't have clear meaning to them. I have no idea what "53 Miles West Of Venus" Is supposed to mean. And, Now that I think of it, I think I heard that Fred wrote these lyrics after meeting a racist guy? I don't recall where I heard it from exactly.

[krifenix]

1:05 kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk I love her

[LadyDiamondIsHereNow]

Completely fucking mental. I think I like it.

[Abkeda]

I've always lived in my own private Idaho! Woohoo!

[MrBewls]

[lazzer408]

It's like Mary Ann Summers and Peg Bundy o.o

[ChemtrailKansas]

[Jauckor]

Weeding singer!

[kaleidoscopeeyes9896]

@Jauckor good movie lol



[STRANGEJAMES85]

Wow. Those are some bitchin' yellow pants, Fred.

[TheSRalston]

I had never noticed before...at 1:39 is Kate Pierson doing the bass part with that keyboard? I read somewhere that Ricky did kind of a bass part with a particular tuning of his Mosrite, but seeing this got me confused. Great song.

[jeromehazelwood]

sexy sindy(cindy)wilson...

[bambaito]

dam 2011 and this song is one of a kind oyeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[greenglass2]

partridge family bus background

[mjbab73]

It's a bit hard for me to differentiate Kate and Cindy's voices...They're very similar. But man, I LOVE the way they harmonize

[laurieMBA]

Still the very best song ever. LOVE!

[dhoffman12]

[JJM65]

[CrispyRingo]

Ah yes, the B-52s. They went there.

[devolverful]

I saw em at Mandalay Bay a couple of weeks ago. Good times.

[FeistyMcFeisty1]

@robnrick11  great, thanks

[FeistyMcFeisty1]

Do they still tour? That would be sweet

[101Volts]

@FeistyMcFeisty1 Yes, They still tour but Ricky, The guitarist in this video, Died in 1985.

[kocrock]

@101Volts Hey 101- Not only did Ricky Wilson (singer Cindy's brother) & guitarist die in '85; he was one of the 1st well known names in music to succumb to a then little-known disease called AIDS.

That tragic event almost caused the disintegration of the band as they stopped touring and recording for three years. Luckily for them and for us they went on to produce excellent music and honor Ricky's legacy.

Peace to all..................

[MrRyan1962a]

The B52s were just fantastic. I use to party to this song back in the very early 80s. In fact, they were one of the few groups that could change the atmosphere in a club. WHen this or Rock Lobster came on, the entire club would dance together and sing the lyrics. It was "fantabulous"

[babyjoker561]

Respond to this video... i dont know who the hell this is i just typed "B"

[nubilk]

adorooooooooooo b52

[Vercingetorix2006]

I still laugh when I think of what "Miss B" on Real Radio in Orlando said about them 15 years ago one day...something to the effect of 'Oh yeah, those two girls who sing their asses off and that guy." LOL

[kingfryday33]

nice 70's mustash porn style

god speed bud

[64roo]

Fucking great days!!

[toxcikozcreamo0]

estan rebuenas esas chavas¡¡¡¡

[MikeRadio100]

Muy buena rola, recuerdo a mediados de los 80's cuando me reventaba todos los fines de semana en mi país El Salvador en la Disco la ponían y la bailaba solo que mas movido que ellos mucho mas y pasos muy distintos nada que ver con el vídeo, terminaba empapado de sudor pues completa dura como 25 minutos. ja ja ja muy buenos recuerdos.

[AnthraxInjections]

May I mention that they used Planet Claire in a kids movie? It was actually a pretty decent film despite it being that graphic animation, not graphic as in nudity and gore. I just don't know what to call it, but they're making every kids movie with it. Whatever happened to 2D, drawn animation? Btw, I'm not a kid, just enjoy the old days of animation...this doesn't apply to Disney, frankly they can go suck Chef's salty chocolate balls. ;J

[kevinhuso]

que genial cancion , tengo 17 años pero mi viejo me hizo escuchar musica de verdad

[perci1100]

muy buenos , estupendos grandes recuerdos.

[hollisweda]

I jus saw these guys 3 hrs ago here in Idaho! it was an outdoors concert, it was GREAT!!! this was there opening song........had a blast! must hav burned 3000 calories danceing this mess around!! lol ::))

[texashsad]

Beat-Nicks

[beatlefan157333]

i think the little kids is good. if they like this music instead of bieber and all that other junk, that is cool. but the whole OMG IM 12 AND I LOOOVE THIS GROUP thing is actually quite annoying, and i see it a lot. if youre a kid and you like old music, good, but kindly stop rubbing it in other peoples faces

[offtohawaii]

I'll be in my Own Private Hawaii come December. I can't wait!!!

[arklat]

Is there anything sexier than a hot babe dancing barefoot? And the dress she has on is just the cat's meooooowww!You go, Cindy!

[blaze5645]

@arklat yes, it's called a guy with an awesome mustache in a white shirt singing this song. You go, Fred!

[azulpyro]

Awesome. Takes me back

[echo962]

Wow, this really takes me back to my college days. The early 80's were a fun time in pop culture!

[iirainey]

I have seen "rage" at the bottom of the screen on a few music videos, If someone could tell me what it is that would be nice!

[Claudius131]

@iirainey It's a music program on Australian TV. For the website google "ABC TV Rage"

[iirainey]

@Claudius131 Thanks!

[GOPsMrDependable]

144 people (random dumbass comment about the people who disliked the video)  that isn't annoying at all. I only see it on everyday. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Amazing group. Here we are in 2011 and we still sing their songs because they are from the future.

[ovicello61]

I Saw the B-52's at the Roseland Ballroom April 11, 1982. Met Fred,Ricky and Keith at the back door. They signed autographs. What a bunch of down to earth guys. Cindy and Kate were inside with their boyfriends.

[Schmitti1982]

[SiXELApurple]

[spohey]

[IceColdBunny]

LOL @ married with children. Yes Peggy Bundy owes Kate royalties for that look.

[Rockclimberscott]

I'll be damned if Emma Stone doesn't look like the brunette in the white dress. Weird that i though that, meanwhile CLASSIC SONG!



[C0dyAndrew]

the beginning is hilarious

[AftershockedYou]

I wish more people today sported the molestache

[acberger1]

[oldmusicrevisited]

Can't I please come to the video to at least see one comment rated high that isn't as closed minded as a twelve year old kid? Oh well. I can't have my B-52 and fly it too. Back in 2007 and 2008 Youtube was full of douchebags and spammers, Now its full of little kids.

[L1ZZ1771]

@oldmusicrevisited What's the difference?

[oldmusicrevisited]

@L1ZZ1771 Yeah... They're all little kids one way or another even though the general comments videos would get have changed...

[ajbellis]

@oldmusicrevisited I would hope that the next time you supply feedback it is coherent. I love the B-52's- late 70's style.

[freespeech4u2]

@oldmusicrevisited and bitchers apparently

[RandiSierra]

@oldmusicrevisited Seriously, and they're all so impressed with themselves for listening to anything that was recorded before they were on the planet. As if there isn't already three generations born behind them.

[oldmusicrevisited]

@RandiSierra Reminds me of me. Ah, Ignorance... I'm 20 and at age 10 I doubt I would have hesitated to feet proud for listening to the Ramones or some other well known band.

[oldmusicrevisited]

@oldmusicrevisited Not that there's anything wrong with that if one likes a band. I just know it gets old seeing the same thing over and over though I'm getting used to seeing the same old same old.

[RandiSierra]

@oldmusicrevisited So did EVERY generation. 80's tripping out on the 60's. 60's tripping out on the 20's.  The world keeps moving. Don't stop.

[ProductionsHead]

WILD POTATO!!! :D
