The B-52's - Rock Lobster (Original Live)

Lyrics
We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
Someone reached in and grabbed it
It was a rock lobster

We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster

Motion in the ocean
His air hose broke
Lots of trouble
Lots of bubble
He was in a jam
He's in a giant clam

Down, down...

Underneath the waves
Mermaids wavin'
Wavin' to mermen
Wavin' sea fans
Sea horses sailin'
Dolphins wailin'

Red snappers snappin'
Clam shells clappin'
Mussels flexin'
Flippers flippin'

Down, down...

Let's rock!

Boys in bikinis
Girls in surfboards
Everybody's rockin'
Everybody's fruggin'

Twistin' round the fire
Havin' fun
Bakin' potatoes
Bakin' in the sun

Put on your noseguard
Put on the lifeguard
Pass the tanning butter

Here comes a stringray
There goes a manta ray
In walked a jelly fish
There goes a dogfish
Chased by a catfish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that pirahna
There goes a narwhal
Here comes a bikini whale!

Listen to that guitar line, it's fantastic. Ignore the rest of the song and focus on that line, it's one hook after another after another, the guy was a friggin genius. RIP Ricky Wilson

[CruiseControlOne]

I stand corrected. This song was created and performed for the first time back in 1979!!!! OMG...has it been 32 years!!!!! To tell you the truth....we need to have this kind of music come back into the MAINSTREAM!!! Today's music sucks with the same rhythmic pattern along with today's pathetic and sad dramas going on with today's life. WTF??? Life is to be enjoyed and to have fun. We only have only ONE life to LIVE, right???!!!! Why WASTE IT???!!!!

One of my favorite bands & favorite videos. Reminds me of some very goods times. I love the B52's. Saw them live at the beginning of their journey in the UK in London at the Electric Ballroom.

@XxXcarnifexXxX1 Yep, Ricky Wilson started playing guitar without any prior experience and kind of made up his own way of playing. He'd remove the middle two strings from his guitar (or sometimes just one of the middle strings) and then create his own tunings for the remaining strings.

[XxXcarnifexXxX1]

0:54 is he missing a few strings?

[twigagawizard]

HERE COMES A BIKINI WHAAAAAALE AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! haha love that part

Fred's shout of "Let's Rock!" at 5.20 is one of the most exciting things in the history of pop music. However don't rush to it, you need the former 5 mins 19 seconds of tension to make it work.

With the single exception of Love Shack I never thought they could sing a lick.
