B-52's, The - 52 Girls Lyrics

1st class drums that create with the music...they had it all.

"whisker"

I Fucks With B-52's

Kathleen Hanna sit down

Everything here is amazing. Ricky's guitar and the Girls' singing. Strickland's drums.

Seriously . . . my favorite song EVERRRRRRR. I like so many different types of music and artists. But, I'll pick this song over all of them as my favorite EVERY TIME!!

121 losers!

Jackie OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Onassis??

One of their best songs! like candy for the ears.

Voice stops being voice and becomes instrument.

💜💜

Without a doubt one of Ricky’s coolest guitar sounds. The way he experimented was like no other (ex: he removed the D and G strings on his mf guitar for some songs!). B52s wouldn’t have been the same without him, R.I.P. to the one and only.

Something in him, there.

Best music.

simply fab x

Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaackie Jackieoooooooooooooooooooo....

One of the most underrated American bands EVER

perfect synchronicity, harmonics and message!

Anti hero !!!!

I don't think the B-52's want "our respect"...I'm pretty sure that if we get up and dance, they're happy.

Ricky and Strickland no inhibitions.

Einfach nur Geil der Sound...

Also from Macon Georgia before REM

i have a van so this rocks.

This song is brilliant.


Ricky Wilson is tragically underrated ;His riffs are legendary.

i think this song would chart well still today as times are accepting and sensible now

Kick-ass tune!!!!!! 💪 🌟 🌟

Sounds like Taylor Swift - Paper Rings !

Just outstanding.

The first album I ever bought. Still love them after all these years!

Your Rad Bro.... made me smile... my first Record was a gift for my 10th birthday Madness One Step Beyond.. and small Record player from my older sister.. to stop taking hers haha..

This one's easy : Matt hoffman pro bmx !

One of the first albums I bought with my own money. 😊

LOVE THIS!!!!

Makes me wanna slam dance!! This song has soooo much energy. Hands down my favorite song by them.

I agree with him.

Hall of Fame. Aug, 2019

My dad had this album. My mom hated it. I can still remember 13 year old me rockin out to this in my room. I'm 32 now

At 70 1/2, I'm still rocking to it, too. 😉

I agree with Clive.....

Fucking out fucking standing ( fucking ). Had this when I was about 17. Nothing comes close, really.

Will NEVER forget seeing them on SNL back in 79. One of a kind band.

I have 750 LP's and tapes and CD's but it always comes back to this.

I first heard this song in the early 80s and just now went to look at the lyrics, wow,they were not at all what i thought they were,lol

one of my faves!

Suzy and Anita!!

don't forget me .....it's really my name too .......peace Anita's rule

Hello Anita's... Cheers from Southern California..

Interestingly enough I found out about this song from Joey Diaz

How do you down vote a song like this ?

Even if you dislike the B-52s (who might that be, I wonder), this is still a track that - when you hear it - should bring you up short and cause you to say to yourself "fuck me drunk, is that a good tune or what".

And if you don't dance to it or try to sing to it, then you're no-one I want to talk to.

yeeoowwww!!!!!!!!

Fuck R&R hall of fame. They are of their own special history of 20th century America...music, style, art, fashion.

F'n Awesome!!

Better 52's cheerleaders girls song

Great work on the guitar.

"Jackie-O"

This band is very underrated and this song is fucking rockin!

So, I've been a fan of the B-52s for over 30 years now (since the first time I heard Rock Lobster in 1986) and I never had any idea what the girls were singing in this song. This is the first time I've ever read the lyrics. It's cracking me up. I had no idea.

Those drums tho. Frickin awesome!!!

En 1979 1980 durant ma période New Wave voila un des disque que J'écoutait Yesssss super bon temps. En plus je m'habillait de cette façon la....

wow very good

This is addictive

I couldn't agree with you more, MrD.!! Iconic! I was lucky enough to see them at the US festival. Wow!

gilmore girls brought me here

Be at heard of B52s or Weird Al until Dr Demento one Sunday night. Even put Shaving Cream on the charts.

and NO commercial air-time for ten years when they started out! PHENOMENAL SUCCESS STORY!

So underrated!

In their prime nobody could touch the B's.

B-52s and Devo don’t get enough respect as great GUITAR bands

One of the guitarists of slayer sites them as a big influence

everyone see this official version for MUCH better audio quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X049zRjInTQ

One of my all-time favourite bands.. That first album was an innovation.. This song is pure pop perfection

Creepy and fun. Like a funky haunted house.

awesome music!

Buddha bless Jeremy Ayers

They are not from this planet. They came from planet Claire, against the rules of the hall of fame.

Can the 70s and 80s please happen again but now so my friends, family and kids can enjoy it too!?! Love the B52s!!!!

Hip song might be my favorite song from this party band

At the MN State Fair on 9/3/18, the B-52s played the MN State Fair. I prayed they'd play this song. 52 Girls! They did! The show was wonderful. The B-52's are perfect!

76 thumbs down 8/18. gtfoutta here losers.

best rhythm guitar track....perhaps ever. RIP.

Very beautiful memories from back then the early 80ties are coming up everytime I hear this song..
and I simply love Kate´s voice...

This song brings me back to the warm sunny summer days of the early '80s, hanging out at the local sandpit drinking beer and passing the joint while watching the bikini clad girls through my mirrored aviators.

Agreed!

My favorite B52's song ever. I love everything about them, but hey would have been right without the two female singer/songwriters.

athens, georgia
thank you for the...
B 52's

Mike Escamilla track

you wanna get ready to go out? put this on as you get ready.
like devos whip it, its above 150 bpm and thats hard to pull off and still be "pop music".

Devo and B 52' s my favorite bands of my childhood !!!!!

can u name em today???????

susie+anita

"Jackie-ooooooo" A very dark song indeed. #EYESWIDEOPEN

1:10-1:35 really seems to be a foreshadowing of Miki Berenyi's vocal style that would come around about 10 years later. Very shoegaze.

Girl fronted, praising girls... and the most blistering rhythm guitar in the history of rock and roll. Set in the 70's, what else is not to like. Repeat it....

Perfect!

Utterly killer. Devastating American rock anthem

So original, so catchy, great song.

*Betty and Brenda!*

So good!!
