One of the greatest pop songs of all-time!!
Pop songs nowadays should hang their heads in shame...or the artists. You get what I mean 😂😂
richard dimeck FYI;: pop songs literally means white songs. The term pop music was invented to differentiate between music that white people made and music that black people made which was called negro music so radio listeners knew the difference and white weren’t corrupted by the sounds of black people. When we forget this we forget the past and are doomed to repeat it... I.E.: Trump.
Jordan Peters Jordan Peters Pop music has evolved. It has no race, gender, or ethnicity preference. The B-52’s are pop, just as artists like the Beatles, Marvin Gaye, Gershwin, Adele, Usher, Michael Jackson, Beck, and Kendrick Lamar are pop.
luisalonsoecheverria it has nothing to do with the music, it’s the term that has racist connotations. The music is called Rock when you are talking about The Beatles, or R&B when you are talking about Marvin Gaye & Adele & Michael Jackson & Usher, or Jazz when talking about Gershwin, or Hip-Hop when talking about Kendrick Lamar. The only thing they have in common musically is that they are all often categorized by a term with a origin in Jim Crow era racism. People wanna connect these artists by calling them pop but the only real things they have in common are that they are human musicians.
@@jpetersgoyanks some woke shit my man!
The B-52's were so much more than just a fun or party band, their earlier music was very creative & arty & in Kate & Cindy they had two of the greatest female vocalists ever, totally unique, groundbreaking & just beautiful. Two songs that highlight this perfectly are 'Give Me Back My Man' & 'Dance This Mess Around'
When I was in my mid twenties, my brother called me at my mom's flower shop where I was a bookkeeper. He had delivered a rental car to Kate, and even though he was too dumb to know who she was, she said that there would be two backstage passes for him at that nights show. He called me to invite me, and deliver some flowers to the hotel as thanks. When I got there she was in the lobby with Sarah Lee, the bassist from Gang of Four. Kate was the nicest person you could ever meet, and then gave said that there would be four VIP passes waiting for us at the show so that our sisters could come. Strange to go to a show with no tickets, but at the window they were expecting us, and we saw an amazing show.
I am so jealous of you! I know you had a great time!!!
Omg I am so jealous
I have had back stage passes for Duran Duran several times as Andy Taylor is my cousin but would love to see the B52s
Roam - one of the most joyous songs ever!
I absolutely LOVE the vocals by Kate and Cindy in this one. They both put so much grrrr and attitude into the lyrics!
The B-52's are such a fun band....They Are So Much Fun in Concert as well. I've seen them on several occasions!!!😎😘
Non-stop energy in concert!
Lucky you!
Love to see them in the uk
I have loved the B-52's for the last 40 years. They represent love and happiness for me.
Fred Schneider is the name of the male lead. They are a lot of fun and different.
Fred was always fun. I actually was introduced to him through his solo song "Monster in My Pants" on MTV back when it was a music channel lol.
If you like B-52's so much you should listen to "dance this mess around". Beautiful vocals by Cindy Wilson.
Awesome Roger that's my favorite song!
Love Miss Cindy!!!
The while group is so effective.
My favourite B52's song. I love everything about it.
I have to say I just love ❤️ how you embrace every song. I love this group in particular and as they orbit within the constellations of our society, with so much political angst and eyes wide open, I can play this video and feel like I’m listening to this very important song (speaking in a social context of I may) with a friend. Thank you for your open-hearted input. 🙏🏽
The B-52’s always make you smile, it’s what they do. And they do it well!!
Ricky Wilson (founding guitarist) had just passed away, and Keith (founding drummer) stepped up to play guitar, and he nails Ricky's vibe here. So there's a little melancholy in the songs from that album. I think Fred was not fully committed at that time, so Kate was elevated to front person, and she's great. There is so much talent in that band.
This song has so much energy and happiness. On the same level as REM's "Shiny Happy People".
And definitely one of the greatest house cleaning tunes of all time :)
Both bands originated in Athens, GA.
Singer of REM hated the song lol!
Everyone viewed the song as upbeat except the writer Michael Stipe the lead singer of REM who wrote it as the opposite.
Im 60...Always great to see a new B52 fan no matter what age. We had so much fun then! Its timeless Its real life! Dance! I see you! You cant help it! Let it roll you....we were living love back then. ....join us!
B-52=Catchy Tunes. Got to move and groove!
I am so happy you noticed that the females were showcased in this song. I just love it when they harmonize.
Kate and cindy. Two of the best voices in music ever and Fred's voice works incredibly well with them. Great band. Unique.
Cindy's vocals were the ❤️🔥💥 of the group!
Wow, what a time warp..love the band! Dance This Mess Around is their best song!
you really have great insights on this one - Cindy's brother passed away and this was her album after that tragic event - Ricky was the original guitarist and so talented...and he was her brother whom she loved so much
Love the B-52's. I discovered them in 1979 and have been loving them ever since. Their music videos are always fun !!!
I think the key lyric is; "without wings, without wheels, roam if you want to, without anything but the love you feel" It other words, if you don't have the $$ to actually travel, just travel with your mind! Love the world and all the people and places in it! The trip begins with a kiss. You can go anywhere you want to... with your imagination.
Other fantastic the B-52s songs: Quiche Lorraine, Bushfire, Debbie, Junebug, Deadbeat Club
Ooh I forgot about Deadbeat Club. Another great one!
Bushfire is a GREAT shout! I'd also reccomend "Girl From Ipanema Goes To Greenland".
I always liked Topaz.
I am thankful that you made this video and that it crossed my path on RUclips. I fell in love with the B-52’s at a young age and it brings back fond memories of dancing around my bedroom growing up. I love your energy and the light in your eyes. You have a beautiful smile that could brighten even the darkest of days.
I have a BIG smile on my face watching you watching this. My most favorite uplifting video. Your wonderful !!!!
Love this tune...god I miss those days
They are my group!!!!! I have seen them 3 times live.. LOVE THEM 4 LIFE!
I knew you would like this my favorite personaly thanks great job.
@indiareacts This was their first album following the death of their lead guitarist - Ricky Wilson - big brother to Cindy Wilson (the blonde singer). His death - the result of AIDS - devastated Cindy and the group, and they went into seclusion for a several years. Cindy wasn't sure if she had it in her to perform again. But they reformed the band and Keith, formerly the drummer, learned guitar and they carried on in Ricky's honor for a comeback album that would be their biggest hit.
This song, this album, was all over the map when it hit. Not only incredibly good but very significant culturally. Yes, it had us dancing like mad. They, like REM came out of Athens, and others. It was a unique time of creativity.
Their catalog is deep; keep delving! Breakout hit Rock Lobster.
Agreed, if you are diving into this band, Rock Lobster is a must.
Came to look for this comment!
Hated that song...most of their other songs are great
I dont get rock lobster. No rythm
Gunner Walker It’s just a fun song! Just pure silly nonsensical fun. That’s all. Don’t overthink it ❤️
Love the girls' outfits! And, the dark-haired girl's hair is great looking. So 1960s!
How is it even possible to not have heard this song.
India, on every B-52s album, there's always a song exclusively featuring Kate and Cindy, because their otherworldly vocal harmonies deserve it: It fabulously started with 1979's "52 Girls", later, "Legal Tender" (1983), "Summer of Love" (1986), "Roam" (1989), and "Debbie" (1998). If you want to hear the (unofficial) official sonic sequel to "Roam", listen to "Juliet Of The Spirits"...it will blow your mind how great those 2 sirens sound in 2008. You won't be disappointed...
I love the B's, they are very talented musicians in my opinion.
As far as I'm concerned, The B-52s are the "Salvador Dali of the music world". Keep doing their music, girl! Fred Schnider (lead singer) did three solo albums, one of which is a Christmas album. I love his version of "Lime in de Coconut".
I look back now and I miss the 80's because of music like this 😊✌️
The 'manly' singer is Fred Schneider. Glad that you are exploring the music of the B-52's! They are a unique group that has been making fun and fabulous music for a long time. If you want a real musical experience from them, check out 'Bouncing Off the Satellites' which was not supported by a tour and was mostly unloved due to the death of Ricky Wilson (Cindy's brother). this album is magnificent and deserves a gazillion listens. 'Girl From Ipanema Goes to Greenland', 'She Brakes For Rainbows', 'Ain't It A Shame', 'Wig'...all great tunes.
This was written in honor of Ricky Wilson, one of the founding members of the B52s. He had died of AIDS, but they were wishing him well, now that he could roam wherever he wanted.
This was/is my favorite B-52 song!! A GREAT song, the vocals are perfect!
One of my favourite B-52s songs. I love the harmonies in the chorus, and the raucous vocals in the verse. Great, great stuff.
It's about exploring the world and not just where you live.
YAAAS so few people LISTEN to this song. It's about the fact that you cannot appreciate, celebrate and preserve Native cultures unless you go and experience them!!!!
i think its about making out lol not travelling letting those hands roam without wings without wheels thats what i think lol
There’s a sexual innuendo in there too. 😉
ROAM... trip begins with a kiss...
Kate's voice has a certain foghorn quality. I mean that in a good way.
Another great one from the "Athens invasion" is "Stand" by REM.
I first saw them when I had the flu. I was staying at my grandparents and they were the house band on a soap!
This is a great song. These ladies sing such great harmonies. Great review to a wonderfully upbeat feelgood song. The video bears more than a passing reference to the style of some of The Talking Heads videos before it, like And She Was or Road To Nowhere.
I believe you will be opening up a gold mind of music with the B-52's there is a gem or two on each one of their albums.
I love watching your joy as you listen to this joyful music!
Another great reaction India. Try "Song For A Future Generation" by them A great song from when they were a 5 piece (before original guitarist Ricky Wilson passed away) Cindy's brother. Keep up the great work x
Legal Tender was another great one by them.
When I was a teenager in the early 1980s, MTV used to play the videos of Song for a Future Generation and Legal Tender on medium rotation. My 16 year old self thought they were the "coolest" band ever. I especially loved all the wigs and clothes that Kate and Cindy would wear. I liked their Cosmic Thing album, but they lost a little too much quirkiness after Rickie died.
Great reaction and nice song very upbeat!
I'm so glad you did this one. It's one of my faves. This and Topaz are to final evolution of their sound. It's so polished, so full. It's different than the older stuff, less raw, less danceable, and not a fun, party tune, but it's the culmination of their musical journey. They've had releases since, but nothing has come close.
When Kate and Cindy sing together is incredible, two powerful voices harmonizing together makes this song
I love that you heard this song...but one of the things I love about this song is I think it's sneaky. To me....we're meant to get caught up in the fun of it....just as in what I think the subject is about. Think about the beginning...a boy and a girl....the rocket they may ride without anything but the love they feel. They even had bagels and a banana going through. Looking at it like that....each stanza makes ya smile. I love what you said too. This is art....There's no wrong interpretation....so keep rocking! Peace and love to ya!
Hey India, I don't think you've ever reacted to anything by Big Audio Dynamite, the band that Mick Jones, the guitarist from The Clash founded? Try C'mon Every Beatbox or The Bottom Line. I think you will like them 😊
"Song for a Future Generation" another fun jam by the B-52's
The video was geared toward MTV, that's why its production was that detailed. All groups at the time had videos produced of their singles to pander to the MTV audience. Most videos pre-1980's was usually film of live performances or variety shows.
I love seeing others experience and enjoy songs that I've always held dear. You got this!!!
Another great video from them is "Girl From Ipanema Goes To Greenland"!
You can recognize a B-52s song immediately due to Kate and Cindy's harmonies.
Also, the B-52's released a song called 'Deadbeat Club' which IMHO is musically one of the best things they ever did. It is on the album 'Cosmic Thing'.
It's B-52s day y'all! Where did I leave my skinny black tie!?
This is probably the best showcase of Cindy and Kate's harmonies together besides maybe "Girl from Ipanema goes to Greenland"
Dee lite...Groove is in the heart
The B-52 are like the YES, Progressive to the MAX. It like YES - StarShip Trouper. Take it for spin for yourself!
The main thrust of the B-52's is as a dance band. Like so much of what was labeled "New Wave" (not really a singular movement in music) the lyrics bring in the feelings of the times that include new age mysticism and just plain fun. The lyrics of the B-52's also wedded weird ideas, weaving notions of love, strange happenings, and an interconnectedness of things. They were exemplars of the earliest computer age. An amazingly fun concert.
I'm so glad you were able to get to this finally! This song really showcases the interesting and complex harmonies between Kate and Cindy that the B-52s are so well known for. There are a few other songs like this, but my personal opinion is that Fred Schnieder's unusual vocals really add to the uniqueness of the band. Their early music was definitely more quirky than Roam and other hits off of Cosmic Thing. One of their best selling records. If you'd like to react to another video of theirs from Cosmic Thing with Fred on vocals, check out Channel Z.
Rocking a MTV t-shirt! How appropriate, this was the era the MTV actually played music videos.
I love how much you dig the B-52's. They are such a great sound and band. Seeing them live, even in their 70's is such a treat.
There's no party like a B-52s party! Good Stuff is another great track by them :)
Love the song. Great reaction!!!
B-52's are fun. They're about feeling good, having fun, passing time with friends and some more weird topics too. The 1979 self-titled album is a classic all the way through. Cosmic Thing is also really good. Deadbeat Club, if you haven't reacted, is more beautiful vocals from Kate and Cindy, less upbeat, but still a lot of feeling.
Dedbeat Club is my FAVORITE! You are right. OUTSTANDNG vocals on that one!
Yay!! More B-52's !!! I love all of their music. Some recommendations--
Revolution Earth
Song for a Future Generation
She Brakes For Rainbows
Cosmic Thing
Wig

I am so surprised you put "She Breaks for Rainbows." I had that CD, and that was my favorite song on it. I always thought that should have been put out on a single. There is a clip of her singing it somewhere live to the recorded music here on RUclips.
@@swtv1754 There is something about that song that makes me so happy! 😄🥳
@@PaintedCavern I know exactly what you mean, but I just can't explain it with words!
@@swtv1754 👣👣👣
Footprints on the ceiling
How did they get there?
You can't help but smell what The B-52's is cooking. So beautiful, fun and weird. 🥰👌
India, I always love your interpretations. And I love this song. My interpretation was always along the line of "roaming hands." I think the song is rather dirty.
Love those hand claps.
She has the most beautiful voice! Her voice with Michael Stipe (Me in honey) and with Iggy Pop (Candy) is 🔥
The B-52's (not the bomber but a nickname for a beehive hairdo) came out of the indie rock scene from Athens, GA. Other notable groups are R.E.M, Pylon, and The Vapors.
My favorite B-52's video and song. So much fun it makes me want to ROAM!
Those girls could sing the shit out of a song.
My favorite band ! And one of my favorites by them
Sort of reminds me of I Don't Feel Like Dancing by the Scissor Sisters as well as Holiday by The Other Ones.
Boy/Girl bands when they click are truly something special. Mama's and Papa's are another example
India, you look even healthier and happier lately.. Good to see that!! For B52s.. you might also try Planet Claire and Deadbeat Club.. They have a lot of great stuff even Funplex is pretty cool. Thanks for all your fun videos..
This was written about the same time the 'internet' was starting, tho it was dial up from Compuserve or "The Well" or "The Source" . But it was something they would have had access to at the time. (89)...and it was a big thing about the possibilities. I remember getting a 'laserdisc' single of this song while doing proto internet stuff on dial up with "The Source" and Compu serve on local dialup and bouncing across the globe to other sites and places. Without wings. Without Wheels.
Kate's powerful voice is Amazing
Right: Girl, go out and explore all the things the world has to offer without fear, you're gonna love it. Specifically right now, with this boy (or whoever). 'Around the world every trip begins with a kiss....' India saw that banana go through the bagel....
B52's are a so cool band. I'm a fan.... love to see your videos!!! ♡♥♡♥
you've wildly missed the meaning of the lyrics here... it's entirely about Sex. When you see it, you can't unsee it
And if you didn't have a clue up to that point, there's always the banana through the bagel hole as they're singing "ride the arrow to the target one" @2:18.
I could put this song on repeat for days and days!
I love this band ! There is always good vibes, good mood, good energy and fun in their songs 💛💚💓
This is a great song, that at first glance is about traveling the world, but could also be interpreted as a journey two lovers might make without even leaving their house...
B-52'so a very fun their music is great their lyrics are somewhat humorous. Overall I love them,bought my first record by them in a used recreation store. I could not believe I got this record for like $1.
Yes ! Do a reacton to 'Rock Lobster'' Q (I''m loving your channel). Would love to see more Zappa, Bowie & Talking Heads
Their voices really improved as the years went by.
The B52s are amazing, please go through all their vids! Love Funplex, Debbie, and Good Stuff. You'll see RuPaul in a lot of their vids after Love Shack
I saw them live at the 2001 SF Pride Festival. They were great!
That guitar riff is straight out of Echo & The Bunnymen. Great tune.
This song reminds me of clubbing back in the day. Also "Groove Is In The Heart" by Deee-Lite also brings back those days ❤
Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson are the girls. Fred Schneider is one of the boys (singer). Keith Strickland is the other boy (guitars). They write all of their songs together.
If you like the vibe of the B-52's, you might like Deee-lite as well.
Try some Portishead as well.
Damn, you brought up Portishead...nice
