Thank you boom 97.3 for these two Fred Schneider videos. A very humble soul and I enjoy him telling us the inside story of these songs. He hasn't gotten the credit he deserves. I love the sunglasses he's wearing. I would love to get a pair.🎼😎
When i was little, my mum would play a cassette of Cosmic Thing in our car until it quite litterally broke. After that, we went out, bought another one, and continued on rockin' definitely a huge memory for me as well as this song in particular
Love you, B-52s, despite suits and business folks just not getting it. You made out lives that much better in a desert of pop drab music! Continue the great work. We're supporters.
Oh, I love this song! is one of the most uplifting pop songs I’ve ever heard, I put it when driving from time to time together with “Roam” from the same album, and then my mood changes, thanks B-52s❣️
This man hand rolled me a cigarette before the show in Cincinnati River Bend and was the coolest "celeb" I ever met. The whole band made you feel at home backstage. Just remember - Never invite yourself on the bus! Right Fred!? #PeaceAndLove!
When I hear Love Shack, the song takes me back to downtown Kent, Ohio at Kent State University....early 1990's. At the time, there is a three-story tavern in Downtown Kent, Ohio and it was called "The Townhouse. It features a hot, sweaty dance floor with the hot stage lights of all colors shining down on all the college kids...beer is served in plastic cups.....stairs there that lead to another dance floor upstairs. On any given Thursday, Friday, Saturday the place is jam-packed with college students and that is part of the fun....because everyone's there....and there is a line out the front door too. There is a big, open window of the dance floor that looks out over S. Water Street which is the main street thru Kent....Then, there is THIS song playing and the beat is shaking the old wooden floor of the townhouse ......The song is just pouring out of that open window and outside there are folks walking by...on a spring or autumn night. For the people outside, it's like looking into a fishbowl of young people who are just having the time of their lives. Thanks for the memories everyone and thanks B-52's for this soundtrack of my Kent State University college years. It's really great!
Karaoke, one night at a bowling alley, in the bar. This guy was doing karaoke, and was funnier than funny. We shouted for him to do Love Shack! He had never heard the song before! That was probably the hardest we had ever laughed in our life!
It's only free speech if you agree with the liberal left. They don't want to hear any opposing opinions or views. MAGA 2020! Ba bye Fred, why dont you go out and write another hit. Since you haven't had one for about 30 years! You can call it The Lib Shack.
my band since i was 14, once i was have all their vinyls, sooner or later i'm gonna have it again..... love U Fred, Keith, Kate, Ricky and of course the most beautiful girl EVER !!!!! Cindy, oh my god , kiss me and i happily die! love u guys!!
The same people getting pissed that he dissed Trump are the ones calling libs snowflakes. Get over it and enjoy yourself. And if you think politics has no place in music, you must have missed many great artists from the 60s.
42jwiener, rightly so... It's called hipocrisy. They not only missed great artists from the politically charged 60's, but still miss History from entire whole decades!
It's funny you mention that...as he was saying "everyone's invited...all races, creeds, etc.." I was thinking, "how cool, maybe this cat really is open minded, not like the rest of the modern-day libs who can't wait to bash Trump because CNN told them to", but nope...same as the rest of them....open minded, until you disagree with them politically....you know, like 42jwiener below, who just lurks in the comment sections...waiting for a Trump supporter to say one fucking word, so he can unleash his keyboard assault. Anyway, great band. I've always kinda liked their music because it's catchy and whatnot, but more recently have really listened to it more carefully, and they are a very talented group of musicians and they're very tight. The drumming is pretty bad ass. Check out Private Idaho....it's a great song.
@@mikelaos2077 it seems to be a one-way street with a lot of those type of folks... they can do,,say or act any way they please.. and if you do not completely celebrate their every thought.... well that's just racist.. or homophobic or Islamophobic..or really any bigoted type of phobe you can come up with
Just saw them in San Antonio! So much fun, they sounded and looked perfect, especially Cindy singing Give Me Back My Man. Yeah, they got a bit political, encouraged voting for Beto like they know him or Texas politics, but Fred kept it to a minimum, didn't disrespect those of us who disagree or ruin the mood for half the audience.
Trump, let alone Pence have no care for LGBT, Google that shit & so I don't want either at The Love Shack, lest they drop the rusted tin roof on Us as a "public service". I was in High School at the time of Love Shack & open to going again at 47yrs old. Keep doing what you do Fred, & the rest of the B-52's also. Shack Well👍.
I remember these guys as the most inclusive New Wavers and most Unjudgmental People out there.... Sorry to hear Trumps not Invited... Shame on you Fred.... Still a great music group.
True in my mind ,but as Phred* said ,Love Shack was there best selling single ,which is true, but as a usual thing of late , he is not honest about who was most behind the lp ,Keith to be exact ! Why do you think Keith is not with them anymore ?
Agreed. I love researching the history behind different songs and bands regardless of their race, creed or political beliefs. But once you take that ignorant "I hate Trump" card, you drop off of the charts. All you do then is prove that is that you are a total illiterate media induced moron.
Wow are you stupid. Politics has always been a part of music. I have no doubt whatsoever you have never complained about Ted Nugent. Trump is a dangerous piece of garbage, ignorant, corrupt and rotten to his very core.
Fred you just lost me doing the Trump thang!!.....I don't wanna listen to music made by politicians and I'm way over musicians etc talking about Politicians....Politics was the last thing on my mind as I clicked on this vid...Hey man What do you think about Brexit,lol.....Cher,Streisand,Taylor Swift and now B52's just added to my shit list.
Fred is a #KoolaidDrinker , what more can you expect ? I mean , my god , they thought the environment and world was coming to an end in the 1980's ! #JesusChrist !!
"well.. Donald Trump, don't come.." and i just lost respect for Fred.. bye, Freddy. i was enjoying the interview and then he brings in politics. Foolish
Trump refuses to denounce or distance himself from white supremicists and he calls violent Nazis "good people". He mocks physically handicapped people. He brags of grabbing women by the pussy, whether they consent or not. He LIES every single time he opens his mouth. He attacks the press and paints them as the enemy. That's what dictators and fascists do. He pays no taxes, ( or at least will not come clean and show us). Trump is a piece of shit through and through and yet you think he shouldn't be talked about? Trump is the EXACT OPPOSITE of class. Go fuck yourself.
Fred Schneider honestly doesnt get enough recognition. His vocals and vocal style are honestly legendary.
I recognize it! we just released a song with Fred on our channel
Yea …. Fred and B52’s certainly were unique and left a mark on music.
Honestly?
@@michaelmilano2684 Yes
Absolute legend. And thanks for explaining "tin roof rusted". Always wondered what she said!
Thank you Fred, & All B-52's for bringing fun & joy to MILLIONS of people ! :-)
Thank you boom 97.3 for these two Fred Schneider videos. A very humble soul and I enjoy him telling us the inside story of these songs. He hasn't gotten the credit he deserves. I love the sunglasses he's wearing. I would love to get a pair.🎼😎
I love this cat.
yeah...he’s his own dude now as much as he’s always been. idk how he kept his “preference” in tact, while playing with those sexy singers, though
well, that’s just like, your opinion, man
Yes, Fred is the real deal.
@Jeffrey Epstein’s Rotten Corpse now way, dude, that title goes to “we built this city” by starship
The B-52's produced the soundtrack of my 80s childhood. I'll always love them.
Love Shack is not on the yellow album, it's on Cosmic Thing.
Yes, but that would NOT have matched his shoes. 😋
We know that but in the last video he played Rock Lobster from it. The vinyl spinning is clearly "Cosmic Thing".
Deadbeat Club is genius. Fred's contribution is superb.
When i was little, my mum would play a cassette of Cosmic Thing in our car until it quite litterally broke. After that, we went out, bought another one, and continued on rockin' definitely a huge memory for me as well as this song in particular
Love you, B-52s, despite suits and business folks just not getting it. You made out lives that much better in a desert of pop drab music! Continue the great work. We're supporters.

Hell, even this Metalhead has done "Love Shack" at karaoke. It's just a good, fun song.
We’re the B-52s, we’re going to do whatever we want!
Well, yeah!!

Donald Trump is not invited :) LOVE U FRED and thanks for taking a pic with me at the Chaka concert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did this karaoke many times with my 2 chick friends , drunk naturally 🤣🤣🤣
one of my favorite songs by b 52s. this was a favorite of mine. excellent job
mike
Saw the Cosmic Thing tour at the old Summit arena in Houston Tx. and the B-52's had the whole arena dancing!!!! What a great band and performers!!!
Karaoke, one night at a bowling alley, in the bar. This guy was doing karaoke, and was funnier than funny. We shouted for him to do Love Shack! He had never heard the song before! That was probably the hardest we had ever laughed in our life!
🤔 It's called "Free Speech",baby! Fred speaks his mind. Don't like it? Too bad. You go Fred! Great party song. A fan since '79. ♡ Shack! 🏠
Yeah , its called free speech & Low IQ ,take a pill ,it will calm the most deranged Libtard ! #XANAX !!!
Why would someone not like this???
It's only free speech if you agree with the liberal left. They don't want to hear any opposing opinions or views. MAGA 2020! Ba bye Fred, why dont you go out and write another hit. Since you haven't had one for about 30 years! You can call it The Lib Shack.
Sounds like some people are a little butthurt because Fred is a liberal
The whole band is liberal. Why are they so surprised when they find out not everybody believes exactly the same thing
THis song... and Wang Chung Everybody have fun tonight... guilty pleasure songs from the 80's to dance dorkily to
This was a fun song at the school and Legion dance daamn this brings memories of North West Ontario.
my band since i was 14, once i was have all their vinyls, sooner or later i'm gonna have it again..... love U Fred, Keith, Kate, Ricky and of course the most beautiful girl EVER !!!!! Cindy, oh my god , kiss me and i happily die! love u guys!!
Thumbs up for Fred not inviting Trump!
I don't want to party with Trump either🖕.
Huge in karaoke and weddings. B 52s are so wonderful and cool
I always pictured him talking like he does on the records throughout his real life lol.
Sound of my youth ❤️💙❤️💙
I spent 3 hours in a pub in the UK waiting for a friend. Someone played this on the jukebox 24 times in a row. Cannot listen to it anymore.
Hey Fred... you know why they call Alpharetta "Throbbing"? Because it's so close to Cumming! (inside North Georgia joke)
Thank you, Fred.
The acappella version of this song is really cool!
Great band kick ass song
Tin Roof......
RUSTED !!!!!
Just love it.....
When I was little I was obsessed with this song and I annoyed my siblings with it and I would chase my sister playing it on my mom's phone
😂😂😂she lived in the shack......with no heater.....❤🤣
I love this fucking song!
In karaoke, I get chosen ALL THE TIME to do Fred's part in this hit classic LOL!
The same people getting pissed that he dissed Trump are the ones calling libs snowflakes. Get over it and enjoy yourself. And if you think politics has no place in music, you must have missed many great artists from the 60s.
You're the only one getting pissed, snowflake.
@@mikelaos2077 Lol, clearly!

Cancel culture started on the left. Deny that all you want, oh tolerant one.
Good stuff
fred tells a great story
Well I would have never guessed in a million years that a person like Fred... would dislike Donald Trump
It's funny you mention that...as he was saying "everyone's invited...all races, creeds, etc.."

with that being said I think they're a good band I've always liked some of their music
I looked it up and I believe that Fred Schneider is related to Paul Lynde,,,Uncle Arthur from Bewitched
That was very disappointing.
2:35 Hilarious! No Official Party Poopers allowed! 😅🤣😂
...my dreams of karaoke with sir fred are in tatters - whammy!!
At the 2:48 mark! Haha! Love it! Fred rules!
He sounds like Squidward from Spongebob.
Leon Vanderschaaf no, he sounds like Bruce from Family Guy.
Yeah that's cos he's gay
He sounds like Jello Biafra when he sings.
Every line this man said right here is gold. What a legend.
"You're WHAT?"
Tin roof rusted!
This is shocking to me. I was told by multiple Athens folks that there actually was a Love Shack.
And it was the "B" side of channel z
Love B 52
Also great to be 777
Do Dead Beat Club or Roam if you get any of them in again. Such a great funny nonsense band. Cheesy to the core but awesome.
Just saw them in San Antonio! So much fun, they sounded and looked perfect, especially Cindy singing Give Me Back My Man. Yeah, they got a bit political, encouraged voting for Beto like they know him or Texas politics, but Fred kept it to a minimum, didn't disrespect those of us who disagree or ruin the mood for half the audience.
Musicians wouldn't like it much if they went to a mechanic or a clothing store and the staff started telling them who to vote for !
Frank Underwood is a pretty good DJ.
Never assumed Fred cam be so normal bloke.
He sounds like an over the top announcer but it sounds cool.
Beach please!!Must have been intrigued by water,bikinies and babes.Save the Seals!Great interview.
Still jam it
Vh1 hits
Who gives a French f##k great to see the one and only Fred love from england
whare are the chicks from tihs band?? we wanna see and hear them!!!
Trump, let alone Pence have no care for LGBT, Google that shit & so I don't want either at The Love Shack, lest they drop the rusted tin roof on Us as a "public service".
I was in High School at the time of Love Shack & open to going again at 47yrs old.
Keep doing what you do Fred, & the rest of the B-52's also.
Shack Well👍.
Makes sense Trump is not invited. It's against the rules there:
"Sign says, stay away fools"
I remember these guys as the most inclusive New Wavers and most Unjudgmental People out there.... Sorry to hear Trumps not Invited... Shame on you Fred.... Still a great music group.
KeeblerOrc You’re sad for your pos president 😭
Rock Lobster is b-52’s best hit...
True in my mind ,but as Phred* said ,Love Shack was there best selling single ,which is true, but as a usual thing of late , he is not honest about who was most behind the lp ,Keith to be exact ! Why do you think Keith is not with them anymore ?
Aw Donald Trump would Rock the house !😇
Yea he would, with his weight it’d rock all the way to hell
Ya cool band lol cant believe im saying it but ya
I was quite fond of Cindy
Wrong album cover on the floor for this tune
People getting butt hurt over the comments made about the president 😂 who cares. He’s still president. Geez.
Will Aguilar not only that. A lot of people who voted for him also dislike him as a person.
Hay Fred Dont that make you feel 'lott better xx
Fred, Don T is easily the most rock n roll president of the modern era. The man doesn't want him because he's not nuetered.
Funny because most rock musicians old and new hate him
TDS
Haha yeah Donald Trump don't come!!
Why is their so much hate for him hating trump screw trump and love everyone
Forever love for B 52s
Did you actually "think" before your ignorant comment? Typical Democrat.
@@djbosox Bore off with your boring politics you bore 😫
@@charliekane135 I ain’t political I just have common respect
I Prefer Rock Lobster
We have an episode of that as well
Everyone's invited except our political opponents. 🙄
exactly. Im sad I watched this...
T.D.S.
If his politics bother you, good. Go listen to some crappy musician who agrees with you instead, I'll keep listening to awesome bands like this.
I could have gone all day without the anti Trumper crack. It was good til there. Hypocrisy is boring, in ANY genre. Otherwise a great band.
Agreed. I love researching the history behind different songs and bands regardless of their race, creed or political beliefs. But once you take that ignorant "I hate Trump" card, you drop off of the charts. All you do then is prove that is that you are a total illiterate media induced moron.
and now..... Trump has an album with J6 political prisoners. #1 track
always gotta go political ...lost me
Yeah same
Better keep the room below 32 degrees Fahrenheit then snowflake.
@@JDines snowflake? huh ?i hate all politics and assholes who revel in it so have fun with your heart attack pal
Could have done without the Trump comment. Politics has no place in music.
Trump has no place in politics so it's even.
Mark Green No trump. Best comment EVER!
Now don't stay mad like the libtards who still can't accept Trump won. #MAGA
You'd be amazed how many songs have political undertones.
Wow are you stupid. Politics has always been a part of music. I have no doubt whatsoever you have never complained about Ted Nugent. Trump is a dangerous piece of garbage, ignorant, corrupt and rotten to his very core.
Wanna bout rock lobster?
He would be a great hair stylist.
Cool until politics. It's music, don't ruin it.
One off handed quip and you are seething at the rims. Shut the fuck up boomer
Love them but stop ur bs on Trump he’s gonna win get over it

Shaun Mantell: See if We the People Care... 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Bye
Well I guess I won't go to the party either.
Stay out.
Great tune. No so much with the interview.
Because of his Trump comment? How can you like the B-52s and Trump? Talk about oxymoron........

See you later
Yeah, same here
Haha what a bunch of triggered idiots Americans are. Hate a band because of one throwaway comment about shit politics.
Grow the f¥ck up 😆
Just had to throw the Donald Trump thing in there...
Love, Shaq
Really, you had to mention politics... Donald Trump don't come. I loved you till then.
Donald Trump dont come????? Wtf????
Why do these a-holes ruin everything with politics?
Why do politicians ruin politics?
Guess he has concern about the state of his country, given how bloody horrifying it is right now with that imbecilic buffoon in the office now.
@@shizuokaBLUES , Ironic as the interview was done while Obama was president and Hillary the heir apparent.
drkjk yes and maybe this makes him something of a visionary!! If only he knew then what I’m sure he does now...
shizuokaBLUES F O A D!!!
I completely butchered it while plastered with my friend and two girls
Didn't care for the jab at the president, but interesting story.
And he had to throw a political jab in there... classless.
Yes ... If only he had class like Trump, amirite? Idiot.
Trump refuses to denounce or distance himself from white supremicists and he calls violent Nazis "good people". He mocks physically handicapped people.

I knew it - everyone is invited, except people he doesn't agree with.
Lost me with his TDS
He Is old
Rock Lobster was 1979, what do you expect ?
Grow up fool
Have to ruin it with political BS
