  • I fell in love with this song when I went on a road trip in early 1990 to Athens with a friend who was attending the wedding of a friend in the music scene there. The song is filled with references to stuff in the town.For instance, "Normaltown" refers to suburban Athens, which is demarcated by the local K-Mart (assuming it is still even there). Allen's was the local watering hole and apparently beer is just a buck now nearly 20 years later. Mike Stipe of REM also makes a cameo here.

  • Allen's finally closed down maybe 3 or 4 years ago :(

  • Keith: you never looked more beautiful, or sexy than you did in this video.. I close my eyes and just dream of wrapping my arms around your neck, and slow-dancing 3 or 4 steps with you... I'd be the happiest man alive!

  • have you seen him lately? Smoking hot!

  • I really love this song...

    I cannot understand why people don't like it... My friends say that this song and video are really boring,and that the band sucks :(.

    What perfect lyrics, I say.

    What a great melody, I feel it...

    I would like having been a teenager when this band originated.

  • Even without the video, the song rocks. The last great song of the 80s - maybe. What a fantastic musical decade.

    '80s music was bearable.'

  • This is one of the sweatest song.

    I dreamt and saw my future through this song in old days.

  • I know i'm gonna get 10 thumbs downs for this... but why does this song sound so wimpy to me?? I love Topaz and She Brakes for Rainbows, which are similar to Deadbeat Club, but have that B-52s "edge." I don't know. Maybe I just have keep listening to it.
