B-52's, The - Give Me Back My Man Lyrics






She cuts her hair
and calls his name.
Wishin' everything could be the same,
like when she had him.

I'll give you fish,
I'll give you candy,
I'll give you everything I have in my hand.

Walking out of Korvettes,
Package in her hand.
Motions to all the seabirds,
throws divinity on the sand.

I'll give you fish,
I'll give you candy,
I'll give you everthing I have in my hand.

Give me, give back my man.
Give me, give back my man.

Her head's in a whirlpool,
spinnin' round and round.
If she don't get her man back
she's gonna drown.

I'll give you fish,
I'll give you candy,
I'll give you everything I have in my hand.

Give her, give back her man,
Give her, give back her man. [repeat]

  1. f.... ....

  2. I.... c....

    Lip sync performance. Notice the double track vocals about half way thru. Kate Pierson has an amazing voice. No doubt. I always loved these guys!

  3. D.... T....

    @ 1:45 Napoleon Dynamite stole her moves🕺🏽🤙🏻

  4. W.... G....

    I LOVE THIS

  5. J.... N....

    Cindy Wilson's Band!!!! Love Me Some Cindy!!! ❤❤

  6. j.... b....

    I'll take the candy.....without the "fish".

  7. Z.... M....

    God bless this woman, and Fred’s dance moves.

  8. P.... B....

    God I love this song but almost even more so the video, she’s just so electric, her performance is off the charts!

  9. T.... T....

    That drummer wants to be in another band.

  10. E.... R....

    Who was the genius to bring this aliens to earth???.....very underrated band....ahhhh... the acid years

  11. B.... A....

  17. W.... G....

    They kinda sucked

  18. w.... 1....

    Yet another talentless group

  19. E.... B....

    Today, she would just find another one with a swipe right.

  20. J.... G....

    I didn't know Ben Browder played the drums.

  21. E.... S....

    It’s one of those performances that mesmerises me. Cindy’s vocals are simply outstanding and there’s raw emotion in the delivery. It’s one of those timeless track that really fits in no category.

    The only other other artists that can grab my absolute attention like that are Sinead O’Connor, particularly Mandinka ( https://youtu.be/5Z_GXwF6GE4 ) and Nothing Compares and also Björk.

  22. J.... G....

    I loved B52👏👏👏

  23. L.... O....

    i'll take the fish and the candy,,, you can have your man back

  24. D.... M....

    Strange dopeness

  30. C.... C....

    My first band B52s at eight years old or so. Matalica.

  31. C.... C....

    I'm all sound cloud streaming this century and forevermore...

  32. C.... C....

    I'm Alamater Royal soprano Cynthia

  33. n.... c....

    Con tutto quello che ho sofferto in questa credo proprio che nella prossima vita sarò il ragazzo di Cindy Wilson.. dio solo sa quanto mi paceva..

  34. O.... R....

    All of you Ricky experts, what with the weird tunings and missing strings? Sure sounds like a Mosrite too. 'Cept that it's a Telecaster.

  35. j.... c....

    ROCK HALL OF FAME!!!!!!!!!

  36. c.... f....

    I put this on the Juke-Box in my Family's Pub in Edinburgh in 1981..........Needless to say the older patrons hated it but the Pub ended up being famous for it's Ale and it's Juke-Box!

  37. w.... 1....

    Proof positive you don't need to have talent to get famous

  38. O.... L....

    Fish you say? Ok, I'll release him.

  39. Y.... ....

    lovin theyre dance moves

  40. K.... B....

    This is definitely a B52's song, but really, it's darker and brooding much more than they are known for. I think this proves that they weren't as much a gimmick as a genuine rock n roll band that took their music in the direction they wanted, but if need be, could rock with the best of them.

  41. A.... A....

    THIS IS THEIR BEST!

  42. J.... M....

    Modern bands and current music should learn from this!!! Timed and timeless rolled into musical aspiration that should be absorbed!!;

  43. o.... t....

    Im 61 seen them 3 times live ... my god I love them. Good Happy Music.

  44. L.... T....

    Chicks should wear these outfits 2020

  45. C.... C....

    2020 y todavía las escucho ,the B52 Genius and Katie y Cindy monters voices

  46. F.... D....

    And they say white people can't dance...have some fish.

  47. J.... B....

    I still think Wild Planet was their best album.

  48. 6.... T....

    “I’ll give you fish; I’ll give you candy...”. As stated below this band was pure genius.

  49. P.... G....

    Is she not the cutest thing you've ever seen? Love this song by them.

  50. U.... ....

    Kate is fucking beautiful oh yeah this track thumps

  51. M.... K....

    Great song.

  52. M.... S....

    I luv Cindy Wilson!

  53. S.... ....

    The weird thing is that the bomber will still probably be in service when the band are all dead of old age.

  54. L.... F....

    Pas vu le chœur...

  55. B.... V....

    Irritating ! And THIS is their best song.... Prrrrr..... Time to think about B 1's and B 2's !

  56. c.... ....

    380 people turned up looking for an aeroplane😁

  57. g.... m....

    essa cantora tem cara de boneca

  58. S.... M....

    My favourite B52's song.

  59. T.... ....

    So she has fish and candy?

  60. M.... B....

    Is this a "LARRY" or what!?

  61. D.... U....

    you didnt really want him tho....js

  62. A.... E....

    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.

  63. G.... J....

    If Tom Brady retires from the NFL he can go back to being a human metronome

  64. M.... S....

    Dammit.This is probably the catchiest song I have ever heard in my life. And this came out 3 years before I was born.🤣

  65. L.... D....

    Im inlove to this track, to her, and to this band. What a beautiful music, an amazing voice, like a cry, still brokes my heart !

  66. R.... K....

    Cindy Wilson ! Nuff said.

  67. J.... C....

    White girls are gorgeous.

  68. D.... ....

    The B-52's were so underappreciated! They were ground-breaking and so amazing. And Cindy and Kate's voices harmonized so well! They have always been one of my favorite bands and I go to see them on tour every chance I get!

  69. c.... ....

    I was fortunate enough to see them live in 1980 right when they were starting to really breakout and the girls were in full hair mode ..Fantastic

  70. s.... d....

    Black and white looks better, but this is cool.

  71. c.... k....

    Fred is a much cooler tambourine player than Davy Jones.

  72. M.... S....

    The B-52's on TopPop just seemed wrong at the time.

  73. G.... H....

    Best music alove costa rica

  74. k.... ....

    Tom Brady on drums!

  75. b.... b....

    This song reminds me of when I first heard it inside the psychward.

    Ever since then I became a big fan of the B52s.

  76. d.... q....

    lovin' the B-52's they are the background music of my life!!!

  77. J.... A....

    Top Of The Pops. Im guessing your an American channel.

  78. C.... Z....

    Love this song sooo much! So sincere. This is art, not product.

  79. p.... p....

    unas maquinas siguen siendo

  80. C.... M....

    She has Lou Reed Eyes!! So Beautiful...

  81. s.... ....

    what keyboard is this ?

    s.... ....

    Good question. We had an old Vox with a similar stand/case, but what's in the video could be a custom flightcase, of course. Kate Pierson used a Farfisa, as far as I know... in other words... almost the crappiest keyboards you could find at the time. The cool thing is that they are demonstrating that it's not the technology that makes the art, it's the art of using the technology...

  82. n.... m....

    B52 s the Best.

  83. O.... W....

    The people of the 70s and 80s did not eat, they were just on the bone. Missing donuts, new Coke, KFC, Subway and McD, ten times a day. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  84. F.... F....

    The quality is awesome!

  85. K.... O....

    Great voice with hot moves.

  86. 4.... ....

    What a great video, performance and style!

  87. F.... 7....

    Intemporel et précurseur. Limite inclassable. Presque punk.

  88. D.... R....

    I'm selling all my guitar equipment. Schneider made the tambourine look cool.

  89. T.... K....

    Man, if u don't have respect for that there is something wrong

    T.... K....

    I'm a fan of all music. Metal ,Rap And R AB

  90. j.... ....

    1.3million Views by far. At least 10.000 of them by me 😍

  91. m.... ....

    I thought this song was about candy. . .

    m.... ....

    ...or fish, lol.

  92. R.... N....

    She is so cute,Cindy 💘

  93. N.... ....

    Cindy... ❤️❤️❤️❤️

  94. G.... B....

    Young Tom Brady on drums

  95. M.... W....

    💥THE MOST FUN BAND OF ALL-TIME💥

  96. M.... M....

    Ricky's guitar sound is iconic, as are the girls vocals. A fantastic band. First two albums were phenomenal. Brilliant. That's the word. End of.

  97. w.... ....

    2:00 heartbreaking, looking at her own brother who'd be dead in 5 yrs. Cindy you are wonderful, I can watch you dance all day. Ricky, we miss you, rip......

  98. D.... T....

    They had no idea what they were doing yet.

    D.... T....

    I don't know, it looks like they know exactly what they are doing. If I could just write, let alone perform such a piece, I would call myself artist. I don't. :-)

  99. o.... j....

    Me too...just re-discovered this song and this band...great memories. I LOVE CINDY!!! I love her look, her dancing and her voice! I want to get up and dance with her and I absolutely love when she starts dancing again after the break. Watching this video literally puts a smile on my face. Love when she looks back...
