B-52's, The - Hot Corner Lyrics






There goes
The law screamin' by
3 AM and the minutes fly
No damn class
In the Classic City
He's a mess
But he's really pretty

I-I-I'm lookin' for some fun
Waitin' for the bus
From Winder to come
I-I-I'm lookin' for my hon
Waitin' for that bus to come

Shake it to the last round
(Hot corner, last call)
Shimmy in a Lurex gown
Don't you know
That I want you baby?

Hey y'all
Last call
Last chance to dance
Do a white hot shimmy
In a Lurex gown
Shimmy, shimmy
Hot, shimmy, shimmy
Twist the tornado
In the lasso
Shake it honey
Shake
Shake it honey

On the hot corner
Steamin' it up
Shimmy, shimmy
Hot
Shimmy, shimmy
Tragically hot
Show what you got
Shake it honey
Shake, shake

Shake it to the last round
(Hot corner, last call)
Shimmy in a Lurex gown
Don't you know
That I want you

Lookin for some action
(Last call)
Twistin' to distraction
(Last chance)
Shake it, shake it
Don't you know
That I want you baby?

Hey y'all
Last call
Last chance to dance
Whoo

[2x:]
I-I-I'm lookin' for some fun
Waitin' for the bus
From Winder to come

B-52's, The Hot Corner Comments
  1. S.... J....

    Wow, the chorus sounds so much like Shampoo's 'We're In Trouble' that it hurts.

    S.... J....

    Stuart Jenkins yes yes yes and I am sure they never heard of Shampoo

    S.... J....

    @Tom Yaz they may or may not have, but regardless, I'm putting it down to a combination of spicy rum and the fact that I was listening to Republica's 'Pub Pusher', which youtube ALWAYS recommends Shampoo's 'We're In Trouble' to me for, and then your video for 'Dancing Now'. Synchronicity in action.
    Also, if I haven't thanked you previously for these videos: THANK YOU! :)

    S.... J....

    Stuart Jenkins You have to realize the B52s of been around since 1976 and kate and Cindy have something like this For decades. They harmonize where I think Shampooch does a combination of harmony and unison and screaming

    S.... J....

    @Tom Yaz Yeah, I know, been a fan since I first heard Love Shack, which hit Britain so long ago I don't even wanna remember how young and thin and oh so pretty I was at the time. But all that aside, this song DID come out AFTER that one. And the chorus DOES sound, you know, just a little bit (by which I mean A LOT) like the aforementioned song performed by a group that was described by a magazine of the time as 'paedophile post-punk for the misogynistic masses'. And this was a few years before a couple of Russian Jailbaits' manager basically hit upon the same idea.
    Meh, I like the B52s. You like the B52s. I fucking LOVE the videos you make for B52s songs. I'm a troublemaking drunk, and I'm sorry for wasting your time in a pointless argument.... Nah, I'm not sorry, you talented bastard, you. ;p

  2. T.... ....

    Fab dancing, this is dancing not that modern day twerking bollocks

  3. R.... H....

    Groovy! Must hold a shindig tonight!

  4. T.... N....

    🎸 My favorite party band! 1979-2019 🎉 Happy 40th Anniversary B's! (Since their first album release.)

  5. c.... ....

    Too bad the sound fades away.

    c.... ....

    wow it does.. strange!

  6. F.... L....

    How long before the liberal lefties call this out for "white this" and "feminist that"? Tick tock. I'll grab my popcorn.

  7. L.... J....

    UK lament:No wiggling bottoms/No surf & sun/Just stick thin & dolly /To have any fun

  8. t.... ....

    the dancing bak then was and/is sexy as hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  9. G.... B....

    This is SUCH a perfect video for this song!
    I hope one of the B's sees this and makes it their "official" video!
    (GREAT job on this, Tom Yaz!)

    G.... B....

    Thanks!

  10. S.... ....

    What's the footage from? Specifically the girl throwing her legs up on the Honda CUB Scooter! I think I've just found me new avatar for the motorcycle forums - I normally collect a lot of "Girl On A Motorcycle" pics - not the cheesy Harley Chopper magazine centerfold type of garbage, but rather THIS exact type of thing. Right up my alley. Even if you've just got the film title, please message me?

    Those are real women! Not the fake, plastic, and stick thin of today(in the movies anyway). Fun song!

  34. G.... H....

    Brilliant!! This and the Beach Boys are the only reason for time travel. Back to the early 60's west coast USA

    G.... H....

    ...the 52's weren't around till late 70's.......but they did get their sound from the Trashmen...mid 60's.....for that matter:  there were a helluva lot better surf bands than Beach Boys IMHO.....

    G.... H....

    This particular song is more of a Beatles sound imho. 

  35. M.... D....

    Atta Boy Tom :)

  36. d.... ....

    Hey Tom; The '52's DO make awesome 'Official Vids', truly.....
    ...but keep up the Good Work!.....Great stock footage, but
    we're missing 'Erich von Zipper and his Puss 'n Boots' in this one.
    ...or is it 'Rats 'n Mice'?....oh well, what will we do without him.....

  37. C.... ....

    That was fun! Thanx!

  38. s.... ....
