B-52's, The - 6060-842 Lyrics

Absolutely Wonderful, Somehow we thought those Daze would last forever 🎶 ( maybe they did) 🤗

When Tina went to the ladies room, was it to take a piss or was it to take an enormous challenging dump from the suspicious looking green hew meatloaf on sale at the gas station ..on sale from being left outside for 3 days......so, a real major release....ya dig? so, Tina.......6060842 was it a number 1....or a horrid ,...number 2,,,,,...operator, what's wrong?

Thats their zip code on Venus (where they're from)

I lost my phone last night....Dimes in the slot ready to trot!

Love the comment at the end. I work at an aluminium plant and spray painted on what is called a log , which is like a massive chunk of aluminium was its batch number. 6060. Song stayed in my head all day. Hence the number is purely coincidental at the end. Lol

simple album but véry good all album is véry well!

Under rated song on great LP.

I've been looking for this song for 30 years 😥😥😥 ... finally I found it!!! 😍😍😍🙌😎🤙😅🍀🍻

Nice ! One lesbian wanting to have sex with another one !

I made a guitar tab for this, wanna check it out?

This music is about a lesbian trying to call a lesbian all day long, but she got no answer at all

Sugar Free Fred was calling too LOL I THINK NOT

This song is what gave the band Tommy Tutone (Tommy Heath) to write "8675-309 / Jenny". Their inspiration.

LOT OF HATERS ON THIS BAND... BUT.. THEY COULD BRING IT BACK IN THE DAY... NO DOUBT ABOUT IT

play loud

sex-o sex-o ate for thou

This band, for me was WAY out of my comfort zone, coming from an R&B, Soul, Gospel,pop wheel house! I LOVED them! Vibrant, New, and SO Different! Thank You B 52's for giving me something else to listen for!

That's where the sample from "Wall Street" by DJ Fred & Arnold T. comes from.

This was the original telephone number song, right? Not that 876-5302 song later I think..........Forgot how many decades I write down 6060-842 as my phone number when websites require it.....or 876-5302....or 976-ASSEAT

"6060-842" was released in 1979. "Jenny (867-5309)" was released a couple years later.

Dime's in the slot, ready to trot!

for snobs only. so natch, I'm all in.

Man what an ugly song... these people are totally dorks LOL

TotiMusic it's such an amazing song wut

TotiMusic Nice bait

You're the dork, Dork...Next time, Do Not forget that....You equals Dork..

i bought lp in 1976. wow still sounds shitty

That's really amazing; you would have bought LP before it was even recorded or released. And, it's a fucking great tune.

WASNT EVEN OUT IN 76...

Always loved this song and the B52's! And Kate Pierson ...WOW!..OH Yeah!...Always had a hot thing for Her and Her voice!

the Ladies room ??

Scott DeCesare ?

Yes. Tina was a lesbian trying to contact another lesbian by telephone

this was the b-side to the rock lobster single.

should be other way

this song was published and on the air before Tommy two tone.

eight six seven five three go to hell

*I DIAL STUPID NUMBER ALL DAY LONG*

someone is in their own private idaho ya know?... i love it!

wrong song, sister...this is the 60608425 room....you dialed the wrong number....i'm transferring you to the operator who will not be there since these days no operators exist....that is my way of telling u to buzz off and leave britney alone

Thanks !

:)

light punk rock sound, i dig it

so simple and so brilliant!

joydivisiongirl I'm a Joy Division girl too. just saying hi. ..hi!

Makes you move your feet

いいね！６０６０－８４２

This was one of the best bands and never to be repeated. These songs were fun uplifting and inspiring. This will always be one of the best albums of all time. Name one bad song from it.... It was simple music yet space age futuristic. I dont care what any fool says, they are far too under appreciated.

Yes! i totally agree with you...This is the best one of the best albums...ever! Their music never gets old...How i love The B52's!!!

+David Hilton - u r 100% correct... this album is pure genius.. nothing even close before or after in this genre of music..

David Hilton I just saw them Friday in Philadelphia and they did this song. I flipped. I also met Kate and Cindy backstage what super cool down to earth ladies. How are they not in the Rock n Roll Hall of fame is a mystery to me?

This album had a very sci-fi sound to it

This brings back such great memories from the early 80's!

Two people got disconnected.

6060-843 and they're coming for me!

6060-844 and they're right at the door!

@charcolew 6060 - 845 They're still alive!

and Jenny.....867-4309!

I never understood why the number is hyphenated that way. where are the b52s from?

In "leet speak" 6060-843 means gogo-bar !!!

@Melaine66 sorry 6060-842

+Moozle Yak - georgia

B52's are from the Planet Claire.....naturally.....duhhhh

They're from Georgia. The number is hyphenated that way because it's reversed (the actual number was 248-0606).

LMAO that poor jenny i do believe when this song came out the person did have to change thier number

and this my friend, is where I got my youtube name from!

It must be the second worst phone number to have, next only to 867-5309.

Well, that's obviously why the number was disconnected!

It was on the bathroom wall !

ThePrestige4u Best source for Date numbers ( at the Time)!🤗

One of their best songs ever. Almost as good as WIG (awig-awig-awig-awig)!

The B-Side to ROCK LOBSTER .... always loved it ..... PureSalem

6060-842 = GOGO BAR
Don't be such a pain in the ass.

haha - I'M NOT - but I don't blame you for hating them.

relax. you're the reason the world hates Americans.

how do they know my number :P

the commertial was for the new residant evil and RLLY DUDE I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT SAME THING I GOTTA WATCH TAT SHIT

has anyone ever tried the number backwards? lol

The numbers been changed, disconnected or no longer in service. (951)606-0842. lol

The real number was 248-0606.

That was Awesome - Actually remember this song - First time in a while - Dime in the Slot - Nautica - Jacobs Pavilion - 5-25-2012:).>

@aloopyneutron2 Planet Claire

@antigen4 Wow. You need to get out more. It's just a silly song and a fun one at that. Chill out! I hardly think the B;s were writing a serious song correct telephone numbers!

Just tried my local area code (905) plus 606-0842 but the numbers been disconnected, lol ok it is just not in service. :( Try your area code and report here in the comments.

@antigen4 That's where the hyphen is on the album version.

@booboobay1 well - clearly the hackers who came in and changed your hyphenation...!! :)

@antigen4 Who are you referring to when you say "idiots"?

IDIOTS! Phone numbers are NOT separated that way in the USA where the song was written. It's 606-0842 - see? THREE numbers - then FOUR...

MORON!!!
The real number was 248-0606.

Well, actually he's my friend(in person) he's just really annoying when it comes to music and has no taste is all.

I know. I can't believe retards like him are allowed on YouTube!!!!

Chandler, your TERRIBLE!
Your REALLY acting like a FREAK right now!

their not as bad as rap but their still pretty ad

thats because it was ment to be

Chandler, that's like the MEANEST most heartless thing anybody could ever say! He died from AIDS!

i cant send any more messages right now
and you like gay old hippies
one died

Or that he's an idiot with HIDIOUS taste in music and so do U!!!!

or that he has ears

That means you have bad taste in music.

no it really dose and it makes me wanna cry.

how about...

no it doesn't...

this.


sucks.

I was just kidding. I consider The B-52's first album as my favorite album. Planet Claire, 52 Girls, Dance This Mess Around, Rock Lobster, Lava, There's a Moon In The Sky (called The Moon), Hero Worship (Listening to this one now), 6060-842, Downtown... All of them are great!

I've heard songs from every album....I've only heard all the songs of one album (Cosmic Thing),but I've heard many of ther're songs.

Have you NOT listened to their first album? Please listen to it before I arrest you :P

First time hearing this song.Glad it's one of your videos!:)(:

WOW! Kate's voice is good for a phone operator! It's WAAAAY better than those old lady operators i get by my house!
