The B-52's, "Rock Lobster"   One of the greatest riff tunes in all of pop/new wave, IMO, and I'm talkin' about the full, six-minute version on the album, not the radio edit. Perfect for beach parties to this day.
Even Family Guy's Peter Griffin thinks so..  | |

I love the B-52's, but this song never did it for me for some reason. I much prefer "52 Girls" or "Dance This Mess Around". | |

Add to the above tunes which I love "Give Me back My Man"
And Purplecharm , totally agree with Mesopatamia , the whole album totally rocks in a way which I think freaked the die hard fans at the time (well I had two chums who didn`t like it and I did !) ***IF YOU TELL ME TO WALK A STRAIGHT LINE***

They get major bonus points from me just for using the word "narwhal" in a song. I doubt there are many other songs with "narwhal" in the lyrics.  Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

Is that anything like a Limahl? Nope- it's a Nordic whale. They resemble belugas in shape and size, but many (the males?) have a big ass tusk protruding from the front.

Yes, that, 'Legal Tender', 'Party Out of Bounds', 'Deadbeat Club', and 'Ain't it a Shame' are all just as good as 'Rock Lobster' and 'Love Shack'. It's a shame that those are the only two B-52's songs that anyone remembers. Although, I'd rather people remember 'Rock Lobster' than 'Meet the Flinstones', I guess. I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

I love those songs as well, but Rock Lobster is really the bees knees. Although, for some reason, this summer I've been all about their cover of Downtown. fun stuff. | |
