There's a big bird over my house
Go away, go away
There's a big bird flying over my house
And it looks like it's decided to stay
It's making a mistake... a big mistake
Big bird
Big bird
Big bird
Big bird
[Chorus:]
I pinch myself
I think I'm not dreamng
I'm not
I hear screaming!
See'mon! Get it out now
Wants to use me to feather its nest
Now it wants the rest
It's swooping from the branch
It's swooping from the sky
Spreadin' its feathers
Cuttin' out-flying
There's a big gray bird flying over my house
What do you think I am?
I'm not a louse!
There's a big bird over my house
There's a big, big, big bird
Over my house
What's it doing?
What does it want?
[Chorus]
It's swooping from the branch
Swooping from the sky
Spreadin' its feathers
Cuttin' out-flying
There's a big gray bird circling
'Round my house
Circling 'round and 'round
Circling 'round my house
There's a big bird over my house
There's a big, big, big bird
Over my house

I do not understand how critics have ever dissed the B-52s on anything (and they have). This video is astounding. This band is astounding. This song is astounding. This performance is astounding. This is a group of friends who were not musicians; who jammed for fun at a friend's house; who got invited to parties to jam; who got "discovered" accidentally, and who were told to come to new york to play at big clubs...and the rest is history. These people are great. Not enough superlatives. The vibe
That explains the whole thing. They had no expectations and were ready to go back to Georgia after their very first show in New York City until a friend of the band asked the management "Hey, would you like the B-52s to play again?"
Agreed. B-52s=happy. Now, that's quite an accomplishment!
Fully agree this is a definiton of one of the greatest band ever and a band everyone would like to be a part of
I am a new fan. I like that they are being genuine. They are not trying to be someone else. Having men and women in a band is a good idea also.
Cindy is smokin' those bongos :)
How on earth did Katie keep that bass line going? Oh.. And bongo mental Cindy... Just perfection.
Truly a piece of art! Not just a song. Ahead of time-masterpiece
Oh sweet youth !!! This magnificent 1983 performancee is clearly the B-52's best live moment !!! Tight , jazzy and infinitely bananas !!! A really sophisticated moment for my favorite 50's- 60's retro band ! So awesome to see the Wilson kids together on stage too ! God bless "Ricky" ! And wild sister Cindy really keeping serious rhythm on her bongos and the addition of the hot horn section ....full time awesome ! The combination of utterly silly lyrics combined with their "dead on" serious prrformance.....this is the band at their finest !❤
I have to beg to differ on your description of the B52s as retro though - of couse they used elements of 50s-60s kitsch in their look and sound but this was just the veneer. They were very modern or futuristic (two terms which ironically I suppose you could call retro!!)
The guitar player is out of his mind …in the best possible way…a total original
Unfortunately whoever filmed this obviously didnt like Ricky.
Kate Pierson is a Goddess.
I like all things B52s....and I must say that I think this Dortmund performance of this song is my favorite live moment of theirs.
Marco Ringo this and Lima !!
Insane rhythmic skills being shown here!
WOW! NEVER SAW THIS VIDEO BEFORE! FANTASTIC!
Flawless Song!! Dedicated Rockers Here!!! Rock n Roll Hall of fame is Deaf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is The B-52's in their element. The huge cheer at 1:48 when they're building up to the tremendous saxophone solo by whatshisname is just amazing.
johnbazy It is Cindy's bongo playing, mainly, and the buildup that they are cheering. The main reason is Cindy.
@@dougdoesall - They're even turning the bongos up during the sax solo, LOL :-))
Big ups to Ralph Carney, who sadly left us too soon. His sax solo right here is one of the greatest I've EVER heard.
Thank you !!
I enjoyed him at the Fox Theater Atlanta , everyone was headed to the after party at the Agora Ballroom , which closed before I
got to go there, too little.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷😎😎😎😎😎
B-52s concert broadcast on TV in Germany. Best quality video of them I've seen.
jimbo (if you're still around!): what, precisely, was the source for this upload - one of the bootleg dvds or something else? It's still the best quality clip from this concert on youtube...
@@ernieb5973 honestly, as far as I can recall this was in a private archive like a hub and at the time was not on RUclips.
Kate is a beast, awesome band
Killing the bongos
Wow, what a great performance.
The horn section is killing it
This was never one of my favorites from Whammy! But have to admit this video has changed my opinion after nearly 40 years!😀
(Back then I never got to see things like this , RUclips is wonderful!)
Yes I agree I never got to see much videos back then either, great to get to watch, great group
I really like the Whammy version but this live version is stunning
my boy on the trumpet is breakin it down back there, i see you
this song one of their best!!!
Universal legends
Damn birds. They're everywhere! I shout at them when they are over my house. Big mistake for them to go near me.
Absolutely great!
The B-52S is a great group I remember in 80s and 90s.
When Fred starts going, Whaaa Oooh, I thought it was dad downstairs yelling at me the turn down that jungle music! 🎶
Ded 💀💀
That was crazy fun! Y'all the best B'52s.
I’m loving this as much as I’m at a loss as to why there’s not ONE close up of Ricky here.
+monkeytrousers - Plenty of close-ups during the full show, though ;-) ruclips.net/video/05yCpVbpiQc/видео.html
They were awesome for Their music and They knew how to party and have a good time!!😎
LOVE THIS 💘...WE WILL DANCE💃🏽WITH OUR EMU 🤣😊❤
They went all out new wave/ska on this one. Love this band to pieces
Amazing performance. WoW
FUCKING UNREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!! IT IS SOOOOO GOOD
!!!!!
This my fave b52s youtube video, and one of my fave from one of my fave albums
完璧です♪
MIND BLOWING!!! WOW
So glad I got to this same show live in Summer of 1983 , Fox Theater Atlanta . Glad this was captured on film ! I met them all outside the stage door and got autographs and talked with them.
I hope you got to see Ricky because we didn't in this vid.
@@sharksport01 I got to see them 17 rows away aisle seat center , amazing shows and the wildest crowd was 1982, we ushered that one , I noticed on a program and we were ushering something, it was just after the Fox was saved. I met them outside stage door also and had mesopotamia signed by all. Dad and I talked with the Wilson's and Kate , Cindy got swarmed and Fred, Kieth , Ricky , stayed busy signing autographs
amazing roloand bass
What a joy omg
This is FUN !!! :-))
CINDYYYYYYYYYYYYY CINDYYYYYYYYYYYYY CINDYYYYYYYYYYYYY CINDYYYYYYYYYYYYY 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🥇

lach da stand gerad Dortmund vor 9 Jahren und ich wollte schon im Kalender gucken wo ich da war...ist aber fast 90 Jahre her...trotzdem danke
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Alguien escuchando este clasico a dias de q se termine 2019 jeje
2 años después 🤣💯
Increiblee perfo. Perforan el tiempo con su energía.
Amazing and one of my fave songs! I always wondered why Kate stopped playing keyboards?
Because they finally hired a bass player.
I always thought one of the (very many) unique aspects to this band was Kate's keyboard bass in the early years. BUT it must have been such hard work - she's not soloing or doing keyboard stabs or atmospheric chords etc etc like most keyboard players and, it is NOT programmed - she's playing a riff ALL the way through EVERY song - she surely must have arthritis in her right wrist now. On top of that at the same time she sang lead and danced. Cindy too - she's no light weight on those bongos! Amazing band.
This was amazing!
Best new wave and punk of 90's a foreign punk in philippines
You are the Best!
Ralph sax solo. Love
Ralph.
