4:45 -- My favorite part of this track -- love it that the picture cuts off at the last line. I have fond memories of listening to this album back in '92 as a kid, riding in the back of a Mazda Navajo with my steprothers.
"Saps up, Spring's on the rise! I'm bustin' out my tube-top tonight. Workin' the night shift, I get off at 3, breakin' out of the factory. Thunder thighs, hangin' out. Moon beams, dancing about." It doesn't get any better than this.
This is one of the best albums I ever heard and soooooooo underrated. This along with bouncing of the satellites have some of the greatest songs from the B-52s and I listen to them all the time.
Dude, in my teenage years, my friends and I would pool our quarters together at the local diner to play this song on the jukeboxes... On repeat. They usually muted all the jukeboxes after like the 3rd loop.
Fred ain't kiddin' when he says "And hurry up and bring your Juke Box Monies!!" They got more quarters outta' me than *Street Fighter II Turbo!* Never tell anyone i admitted that. :3
I do believe Keith Strickland said in a 1992 interview that when Cindy Wilson temporarily left The B-52's prior to this album's production, part of the reason was because she and her family were still having a difficult time grieving the loss of her brother Ricky who died from AIDS in 1986. Even though six years had passed since Ricky's death, and Cindy still seemed capable of carrying on without him especially when they released Cosmic Thing in 1989, I'm sure deep down she probably was still suffering inside and truly was in desperate need for a break. It's understandable how the loss of a close family member can be tough. Regardless of that, Kate Pierson, Fred Schneider and Keith Strickland still produced a phenomenal album together since they are all incredibly talented! ~Dutch
The group was trying to be sex-positive at a time when no effective therapies existed for HIV. It was 1995 when the cocktail was developed, which gave those living with HIV a chance to survive.
YouCantHoldOnTooLong Yeah dude! He's done a lot of drumming for a lot of big names between the late 70s, through to the 80s and 90s. I'm sure he did two other tracks for the B-52s on this album, but I can't remember which ones... :/
i think Fred did a good job. i listened to so much of all of the B-52s that i never even knew that one of them had left. It *does* explain why most of my favorites are from before Good Stuff though. :)
These lyrics are the best. They crack me up! I love this whole album and have listened to it more times than I can count lol!
Katie’s voice being showcased on this whole album is absolute perfection
They have voices like Extraplanar Entities created as a living demonstration of "Sonic." :3 Big fan.

+YouCantHoldOnTooLong Woawww HARD FAN!!
You could tell Ricky was/is special. He was so influential to many musicians.
So whats your point ? " dutch ". lol. fuck it.
The group was trying to be sex-positive at a time when no effective therapies existed for HIV. It was 1995 when the cocktail was developed, which gave those living with HIV a chance to survive.
I Miss Cindy In this álbum....
I never heard this song before. You can hear Love Shack.
HOT SONG!!!!....This song comes right in with THE 5-52s BEST!!!!!!!!
Lol I used to listen to this when I was 8. I had no idea what the song was about, so it's funny to listen to it again as an adult.
You're kidding right?
This was my jam in the 90's.
❤😊
i love the b52s
Hot pants, baby, Hot pants !!
If only there were a video clip made alongside this track. (sigh)
".....i'm in shipping, if you're recieveing"? how can ANYbody not uv this band ?
Right on.
Quite the influential song.. :).
Hot pants explosion? you ought to get that checked out!
awesome workout music!
The great Jeff Porcaro on drums
+Ash Hudson I didn't realize that! I remember Jeff Porcaro from when he was in Toto!

Jeff Porcaro
B-52s / Good Stuff (A&M, 1992) 3 tracks
Hot pants explosion - Breezin' - Bad influence
The B-52's without Cindy is like I Love Lucy without Lucy. More Fred can't make up the difference.
i think Fred did a good job. i listened to so much of all of the B-52s that i never even knew that one of them had left. It *does* explain why most of my favorites are from before Good Stuff though. :)
Oh I've seen London and I've seen France but I never saw nothing so hot as you in your hot pants
I knew I was gay when I was 12 and this was my favorite song.
That's cool. My imaginary friend is gay. I on the other hand identify as a cement truck.
^ He's a dump truck in denial. Seriously this is the best band ever.
Are you trying to imply that Fred is gay?
No need to imply. He has publicly described how he came out to his mom and she said "Oh, Freddie, I know!" and went on with her vacuuming.
And what's got to do with itttttttttt. Put your gaynesss up your ass
When music was real fun now music is garbage
