i'm sincerely disappointed that this is only the 8th result when i search for "rock lobster" (especially since i've seen it about 15 times—where's the personalization, youtube?).

it's the most unique and memorable version of the song that's ever been recorded (which is why i've seen it about 15 times)

fucking awesome!!!!

I'm sorry but this song is only good on drugs. The singing is just terrible. Not unique or artsy just bad. Without the singing and poorly placed cowbell it would be cool. But it fails.

Especially from 5:23 on, this is a religious experience and needs to be played loud.

as i was listening i was thinking exactly the same...xcept i was 11 and it was 1979.

One of my all time favorite band. First dance to this at the Alpha Sorority house.

[Flunder]

they really kicked a groove.

It's simply timeless in the most perfect way.

Spent many many drunk moments rocking to this song at the Doors Nite Club in Marshal Street!!!
