It´s about the desire to regain a lost love. The lyrics describe a woman who misses her partner and would do anything to be together again, even offering gifts like fish, candy and everything she has in her hand. The woman feels dizzy from the situation and feels that if she does not recover her man soon, she will drown in her pain. The song is a mixture of nostalgia, desire, and desperation to recover a lost lover. Good song. Love it.

@@darkwitnesslxx The Plastics formed in 1976, as did The B-52s, so they started at about the same time. But I don't think their guitar parts sound anywhere near the same. I'm not saying they're "bad," I can listen just fine, but they sound more like XTC's "Drums and Wires" album. The point is that guitar parts in B-52s songs are usually far more minimalist, while having hints of some unusual chords on one guitar - chords that try appearing like they're 2 different guitars instead of 1, even though 3 of their early songs from the first 2 albums had 2 guitars. And I say that as a fan of both early B-52s songs, and XTC. Kinda interesting that all 3 bands had officially formed in 1976.

Two of the most gorgeous female musicians of all time. And I don’t care what you say, Cindy’s teeth make her all the more stunning… it just fits her personality and image, especially in this song. Imperfections are beautiful.

So agree!

This is the coolest video. Cindy Wilson just tears it up! I grew up in Athens but never met her. She's 2 years older than me and went to Clarke Central and I went to Cedar Shoals. Athens was a great place to grow up in.

There's so much to this band. Unique, space-age party music. Part nerdy, part not giving a fuc&. Part sarcastic. Hot women, cool dudes. All in for each other. Total team. For me, the tone is set by Rick, that sound, and he had no ego; in background, but his unique sound was the foundation. Strange lyrics that weren't absurd. Can hear their sound in so many bands that followed. Who wouldn't want to be young again and dance all night to the B-52's? Love them.

Been a FAN since they started the band. Nothing can compare to this group, and they complement one another. Thanks for giving us this little treasure.❤❤❤

As a young man in 1979, new wave music held nothing for me, Led Zep etc was my world, but the B-52s and more accurately this tune, opened my ears to a whole new universe of music. You cannot stop your foot tapping to this classic intro I still love my Zep, but my music collection became a whole lot richer because of this band, because it taught me to have fun, 41 years later countless copies of tapes and cds later, this never leaves my car. This comment was meant for Planet Claire, just noticed it was for the autoplay song afterwards.

I always thought that Cindy Wilson had a classic appeal in her looks as well as the stylized outfits and overall sound of the B-52's. She can really rock with her vocals, especially in the song 'Hero Worship'. She's just cool. Her persona reflects in the latest album sung as 'Love in the Year 3000'. Way to go Cindy! Your a living legend in my mind.

I love seeing Ricky on guitar and Keith on drums. I miss this original lineup so much. RIP Ricky we miss you. Your sister Cindy was awesome on these vocals.

Never has anyone tried so little to be cool. It is so natural to her, someone that comfortable with themselves is a very rare traight, best smile ever. Braces.....no chance....I'm good she says...one of my favorite girls ever Love love love her. The other chics star trek voices are super cool. Cindy's overall flavor is to dream for

I can’t agree more with all the comments, the B52’s were unique and a class act, loved them. Cindy is still the coolest girl around. I bought this when i was young, fresh faced, fit, cool and pretty good looking as we all were. Thanks for the upload.

We snuck a friend into the drive in theatre in my 69 Mustang trunk in 1981 jamming this on the 6 by 9's. Then we poured beer on him when we let him out ! We all had a good laugh and then lit up 😂 . Good times !

This song is awesome…

If it wasn’t for finding this band as a 7 year old learning to sing like them, I would have never been exposed to opera. Because of their comfortability sense with themselves, I gained the courage to get voice lessons, along with learning other instruments. I owe this band my musical curiosity and extended vocal timed length in order to sing many arias confidently. Also, learning about space junk. Thank You B-52’s 💋💋💋
