This song was a tribute to a Detroit Dj name Mojo. Back in 80's, Mojo was a sensational Dj who played B-52 music religiously despite the fact that he worked on an R & B radio station and he refused to follow a play list. "Whammy," was one of Mojo's catch phrases. The B-52's even appeared on Mojo's radio program which aired late in the late evening til midnight. I miss those days.
Oh My GOODNESSS! I so love these people! I just want to hug them all real tight! I will never forget my brother sitting me down, I must have been around 8 or 9 and he told me, "you gotta check this out" He played Planet Claire for me...it was an experience I will never forget!
Sara Lee proves she is one of the greatest bass guitarists in the world - rubbing shoulders with Stanley Clarke, Tony Levin and Mick Karn. This is a powerful performance by B52s - and they're just as hot live in 2009 (though Sara isn't on this tour).
I've seen them in concert three times in the last 10 years, and for two of those Cindy was hopelessly flat. I love them all, but Cindy's voice is no match (anymore) for Kate's. Very sad.
The last album is hot, and they're still the best concert band EVAR. Can't wait to see them again.
what, cindy deflect from this group's talent. . . I think not, without Cindy, the group's only 3/4 complete and I missed Cindy's voice on Good Stuff :-(
Why does Kate Pierson always seem to get more screen time when doing these shows? She and Cindy Wilson share vocals on almost every song. I'm just sayin'
Thanks wilkat99 - I've now looked up her details and you're obviously right. I've always loved dykey-looking women and Sara Lee is pretty hot stuff (as a bassist too).
So why do they never play outside North America now? Wheel 'em over to the UK, I say.
that was awesome!!! I can't believe that after all these years they still sound that good. Keith sounds incredible! he sings with more energy than he did when he was young, what a freak. LOVE THEM!!!!!!
man, that's awesome! this performance shows that the b-52's know how to rock! keith plays such a hot guitar (and he's so absolutely gorgeous) and fred, kate, and cindy really belt it out on this one! that's always been a favorite from "whammy"
Common Katie! Give me that whammy!!
