B52's=Greatest party band in the world. If I ever hit the lottery they can name their price to come to my hometown (Johnstown, PA) and play. I love these guys!
Freaky. I remember watching this on MTV on December 31, 1989. My favorite quote was from Fred: "It's 1990! Let's shake a heinie!" They also did a fun version of "Birthday" by the Beatles, but changed the lyrics. You know it's a new year! Happy New Year to you! and the rest. Jabba cool!
jeez how old were they here, anyone notice the vintage 1978 one how young they look? a year later they do the SNL performance and look like theyre in their 40s...and here..well...wow..they had to have all those other musicians carry them to make em sound good...no offense to any hard-core b-52's fans cuz i love em. but i didnt like this one
does anyone have the Happy New Year song they did to the tune of the Beatles Happy Birthday? I think this was from MTV's New Year show in 1989. I had this videotaped at one point but lost along the way...great memories though.
Cindy's opens this song so powerfully that it's almost shocking how good she is! I loved to hear her do this as a solo!!

Youngsters are so clueless. Who was it that said: youth is wasted on the young?
Wait till you get to forty. You will see that life is much more interesting and women that age are more beautiful.
