This is the song that introduced me to the B-52s. I was in Brazil in 1985 meeting the family of my future wife and this song was getting heavy radio play there. I taped the song off the radio and must have played it 500 times . I sill love this song, the B-52s and my Brazilian wife I have been married to for 32 years. When I hear this song it reminds me of my fist trip tp Brazil and my introduction to the B-52s. It will always be special to me. Eu Adoro B-52s
Isso foi devido ao primeiro Rock in Rio, esta música está até no LP do show.
I was a child in 85, lived in Rio, and I remember this music playing on the radio without stopping. by the way, at that time they only play excellent music on the radio
This song was such a big hit in Brazil that it was exclusively add to the Brazilian edition of the 1998 compilation "Time Capsule". I have the Japanese edition that comes with a DVD but it's a bummer it doesn't have "Legal Tender".
Your story is the best one I've ever read on youtube. Nothing even comes close.
That is kool daddie-o.....
Cindy and Kate's voice together.....absolutely mesmerizing! Always been 1 of my time 5 favorite bands of all time.
Absolutely! And Cindy just might have had the prettiest mouth in rock and roll!
@@filthylucreonyoutube 100% just thought that myself
So good
And they were soo sexy
Ricky Helton Wilson would have turned 68 today, born March 19, 1953. Ricky died from AIDS. It's truly sad that so many gifted, talented artist' lost their precious life to this rarely talked about past global epidemic that has claimed 32.7 million beautiful souls. We miss you Ricky.
Amen
He was the first well-known person I remember dying from AIDS. And then it began to happen over and over...
Soon all of us Will stay with him don't worry 😂😂😂👏
@@Edyth_Hedd There was also Klaus Nomi, died in August 1983 at 39. You might not have heard of him before, depending on musical taste. Klaus was a countertenor singer who just started getting attention starting in 1978, and who sang backup vocals to David Bowie on SNL in 1979. He was so early that AIDS was still called "GRID" ("Gay-related Immune Disease" at the time.
@@101Voltsdon't forget Freddy Mercury
I listened to this song constantly as a youngster in a midwest town and felt almost scared to share it with anyone lest they not like it. I watch the video now almost 40 years later and I can still connect to that aspirational, confused kid who felt so energized by this.
Same!
Ditto 💗
Nice to know we had good taste even as youngsters!
Feel the same
Saw them on SON in 79 I think and it changed my life. I was scared to share as well but quickly realized that they were very likable! These guys and REM also made me realize you could be cool and be from the south🎸
I've always liked Cindy's smile. She just looks so happy.
She is happy.
I was able to meet them in Deep Alum Dallas and meet and get their autograph and Cindy and Fred were so cool but Kate was rude. Yes Cindy has a beautiful spirit.
Major spank-tro-vision when I was a teen.
I saw them perform at a University. I was hanging out in the hallway and Cindy walked by. She asked where the opening band’s dressing room was. I pointed to the classroom they were in.
Cindy walked in and I heard her say to the opening band, “You guys were really good!”
That convinced me she was a class act.
Cindy always looks like she is getting plowed just off camera
We need a new B-52s album! Fan here since 1978
I went to college in athens. Ga. 1988. Best time of my life. Thank you B52s and REM.
This song came on my Pandora station today. I haven’t heard it in at least 36 years and remembered every single lyric. Totally transported me to a time when I was growing up at the beach in Jersey. Amazing.
Dig it!
I couldn't possibly love Kate and Cindy any more 😍
They literally give me goosebumps when they sing together 💘
"Heavy Equipment" never sounded so good in a song!
Cindy Wilson ❤❤❤❤❤
Must be the only song ever to use the phrase Heavy Equipment.
In the basement, no less!!
❤️ Cindy's eyes!
The 80's weren't another time. They were another world!
The 1960s and 1980s were both weird another time and another world BUT both iconic fantastic both produced GREAT unforgettable music.
Unfortunately don't come back anymore 😢
Best decade ever😊
E acreditar que eles vieram no primeiro Rock In Rio em 85. Passava dias ouvindo rádio com uma fita k7 no "pause" esperando essa música tocar pra poder gravar. Uma infância assim não tem preço.
@Raquel Machado Rizzi acho que a 1st vez que ouvi foi na radio cidade RJ eis 102 ,9
saudade? da
eis 94,9 flu fm
rock a live .. com a MilenaCiribelli LuizAntonio MonicaVenerabile .. cidade? EladioSandoval RomilsonLuis PauloMartins etc ver revista do JB de domingo capa 80's
antena 1 tmb tocava muito 52's
Eu tenho essa música gravada numa fita desde 1992, cortada no início e no final da música quando veio a vinheta do rádio. E o som estava em mono! rs
Realmente não tem!!! É passava horas no rádio pra gravar minhas músicas favoritas, bons tempos!!
Era duas, é o tipo de banda que apaixona na primeira audição... Hoje ainda escuto e me sinto tão feliz quanto na década 80.Uma maravilhosa semana a to
tocava muiito em 1985..top
Even in 2019, this has aged remarkably well! Has the styles of its time, but is still stylish. And it's so unbelievably positive and light hearted, it almost hurts... because this kind of attitude has become very rare these days.
It's true, it is rare I suppose but I truly believe what you focus on is your experience and this band will elevate you to super dance happy every time!
Your comment made my day. I. I'm so glad this song means allot to other people as well. It's so upbeat and relaxing..
Well said
Thank you Tulane University’s WTUL for introducing me to this song! Changed my genre!
Not its time, 20 years before.
Essa música, aqui no Brasil, é HINO deles...ela realmente dominou aa rádios e programas de videoclip na época do primeiro ROCK IN RIO...na época estava entre meus 10 ou 11 anos.
me lembro que tocou muiiito em 1985 e 1986 nas rádios.
OS PASSINHOS NA DISCOTECA
Eu amo! Tenho 27 anos e nem peguei essa época, mas enfim. Música boa não tem idade
Eles se apresentaram no 1° ROCK IN RIO 1985! ❤
Sounds as modern today as when I heard it 29 years ago- just a great group that were ahead of its time. Makes you want to get up and DANCE
A lot of new artists are copying the 80's and rightly so, music had a hook back then.
Indeed
Love Cindy’s smile and voice. Makes me happy!
love her teeth myself
I love that this band has such a diverse fanbase, none more devoted than people from South America, Respect!
I can't believe that 5.7 million people have good enough taste to listen to this song.
My faith in humanity is restored. Not really though. Well maybe a little.
I return to this often it brings my spirits up
Tô surpresa de estar encontrando tanto brasileiro nos comentários ksksksksk B-52's é demais❤❤
É demais mesmo
brazilians wih bolsonaro !! right way is the best way !! new wave rock !!!!!!!
fez muito sucesso na época com essa música contagiante.
Os mais jovens eu não sei, mas os mais velhos como eu ficaram conhecendo The B'52s graças ao Rock in Rio 1.
Relíquia
Volta anos 80...
Sem duvida melhor época da minha vida...
Chevetão e curtindo
B52s...
This slaps so fucking hard. Holy shit. This is what music is supposed to sound like
Fala em portugues
This truly slapped me into outerspace
This is one of favorite songs of The B 52s . I loved them and use to play them all the time when my boys where little . And now my boys are in their 40s and they love too. 😘
The 2 girls were probably the only Female Voices that could pose a serious challenge to ABBA's 2 jaw dropping good female Singers. This song is so ahead of its time and it still is in 2020! B-52's are indeed aliens from another civilisation in a human form.
Agree! (But honorable mention goes to the 2 girls from AceofBase and the two from BoneyM.)
They don't hold a candle to the ABBA girls, don't exaggerate.
@@danielricardo5029 I have to disagree. Kate and Cindy, any day
@@loulagramoula Agnetha and Frida could comfortably sing Legal Tender, Kate and Cindy could never do The Winner Takes It All in the original key.
@@danielricardo5029 Agnetha a Frida could well sing Legal Tender but without the passion and attitude to make it sound great. The two duos is almost a daft comparison to make. One duo sang well, the other gave it their all (just my opinion). As always, have a lovely evening 😊
B52's were always a post modern band. Maybe even more relevant now than in their hey day. Genius pop inho
genius is right
They were, and are, the best.
@@srhodes6963 not exactly. It was sheer hedonism, but the backdrop was nuclear anhilation. It was: let's have fun and be happy while we still can be. Not punk nihilism, but despair nonetheless, because there might not be a future. There's a dark edge. That shabby Southern chic and retro hairdos spoke of having little, being poor, and life being all downhill after brief youth. No future on both personal and existential levels.
New Wave in it's finest.
I always felt, if you listen closely, there is an undercurrent of a hard rocking song there. Much of this bands catalog had that undercurrent. Fabulous.
This song never gets old
"Heavy Equipment" never sounded so good in a song!
I KNOW, RIGHT???!!!! XD
And Kate means business when she sings that bit at 2:51!
She sure does! XD
I'm packing some heavy equipment. Wanna help me lift it ? 😜
Cindy looks SO beautiful in this! Her makeup and hair were perfect! Ricky is SO Dreamy!!!! Although he died 10 days before my 2nd birthday and I wouldn’t be his type anyway😔😭
Ricky Helton Wilson would have turned 69 today, born March 19, 1953. Ricky died from AIDS on October 12, 1985.
When I hear a B-52's song , the first thing that comes to mind is Ricky's guitar playing style. It was unique. He's gone but not forgotten..
Esse som de sintetizadores cheira anos 80. Clássico!
O que é fantasia de Lady Gaga e Kate Perry perto da de The B-52's?
Nada
Essa banda é incomparável
As perucas da Kate e da Cindy são meu sonho de consumo, hehe.
No

Comparação esdrúxula. Que nem comparar elefante com baleia.

Best B-52 song ever !!!!!!
No!!---dead beat club🎶🎸🎵
@@thomaskemer8109 Nope "Love Shack" & "Roam" then "Legal Tender".
@@blachubear they went full blown POP by that time.....less creative
More underrated B-52´s album for sure.
i agree 1000%
Essa música é um vício!
Todo dia venho aqui. 🇧🇷❤️
Cindy Wilson has the most gorgeous eyes…
Feel-good music of the highest order.
Msterpiece 80 2024
Amo eles ..cresci ouvindo B-52s, influência da minha mamis ..que ficava ouvindo as fitas deles 😃
nossa tbem sou Elis Ribeiro kkk ...amo esse grupo.muito...edtou a joras ouvindo , me lembra mina afilescencia ceu irmão , nos dançávamos toda a coreografia na epoca..... ninguém sabia so ele que trouxe de Sao Paulo...eu aprendi e dancavamos juntos nas festas
This album was fantastic and fun
Best song ever about counterfeiting.
Cindy was one of the most adorable women ever.
Essa música é de 1984,foi um ano maravilhoso e em 85 esse grupo tocou no Primeiro Rock in Rio!
E cantou essa música...desde então adoro esse grupo.
@Sylvio Gonçalves Essa música foi lançada no início de 1983 ,mas foi gravada em dezembro de 1982.
Foi por "tocarem" neste show que então ... eu conheci essa "BANDA" !!!
1983 - Album “Mesopotamia”.
Bons tempos...
Décadas depois...e continuo amandoooo B-52's!! Um salve do Brasil!
They are so good!’
What a pretty and wonderful woman ,hello, my darling ?
I love Cindy and Katie’s little dance moves. So precious!!!
1:50... The Korg SB-100 Synthe-Bass... Killer bass synth. Love this band
I miss New Wave!
What? Nobody likes "old wave" these days?!
we all do
Me too!!!
I know. It kinda got killed when Madonna came on the scene and killed all creativity in music and made it all about the money and the image but not the music.
I do too!
my absolute favorite B-52s song! :-)
For all the classics that everyone knows, this is still one of my faves too.
These girls are from outa space. Glad they met. They have to be together for the B52 sound to come out.
Em 1985, quando tocava essa música nas festas...ninguém ficava parado, top demais !
The integration of song and video is truly amazing. This is one of the best music videos ever. The way the video changes to the music, the new wave back drop, the dancing, the rotating table- innovative and unique- top notch.
Great stuff
Totally. This is one of the few fantastic music videos ever made. Really simple, really connected to the song, really creative, unexpectedly inspiring.
Who's still listening to this classic song in 2020?
And now 2021!
I'm from the Future.
It is 2123 and i do still.
2021
It's 2024 and not only am I still listening... I just saw them perform it live in Las Vegas on their farewell tour. Loved it!!
I could watch Cindy Wilson dance until I die. She's way too cool and cute for this planet
Agreed.
Eu também amo this her way dance
She came from Planet Claire.
But Kate too.
They made this album when synths were still analog and sounded great. A few years later it all got too clean but this was the sweet spot. Such a great single from a great band
It seems you haven't choked on'em!
@@lifeonmarxNo one F%CKS with my command!!!
I love this whole album, the music, the vocals, the energy and the hair ... perfect pop :)
I'm sorry to say this but this is way better music than love shack
Indeed, Sir.
No apologies! Thou speaketh the truth, good Sir!👍😎
So far
Absolutely
This came out my senior year in high school. We played this whole album to death. Honestly like love shack album(good stuff) the least out of all the early stuff
I absolutely agree. I found I feel the same way about of really good songs that got way overplayed back then. New order True Faith Bizarre,Love triangle and alot of the cures and Depeche modes top songs And they my favorite bands I revisit the albums and appreciate all the other stuff now. Whammy is a fantastic album and cosmic thing has some great lesser known ones
1983!!!!!! Magic and amazing!!!
Ricky Wilson was such a genius guitar player. So simple but hard hitting.
kate and cindy, the foxiest chicks to ever grace an 80's video clip
Yeah, do they still ware Hola Skirts? that's my favorite part of the video.
running gun blues the B52s and Bananarama!
don't forget anna from bow wow wow
Wilson sisters were pretty good too
Dale Bozzio and Debbie Harry, but agreed with all of the above.
I used to listen to this song my sophomore year in 85 on the way to track meets. Love this song and the B-52's especially Cindy! RIP Ricky!
I wonder who/when someone told Cindy that she could use her eyes so dramatically? She’s magnificently expressive in such a subtle manner.
This is a fantastic song, with a brilliant video. Whoever directed this video is a genius. It really captures the color and vibrant nature of this band.
I love eyes of Cindy, so expressive.
talita daniely I love her smile!
Sad babydoll eyes and an untamed voice- no wonder she set the feminine mood of the band as well as she did...
jorgecitoAZ she's mine
To big for her! I love her anyway!
Me too and The B-52's are so much fun; a Marine like me needs this!
Kate is like the energizer bunny in this video :D
ToyotaGuy1971
Riiiiiiight?! The camera can barely focus on her, she's a frenetic blur 🌪
@@Shteve67 Precisely!
Didn't realize so many Portuguese speakers love the B52s. Cool!
eu nasci em 1977 , vou fazer 45 anos em junho desse ano e quando eu era criança eu delirava essa música e na juventude eu lembrava da minha infância e agora em 2022 ouço as vezes essa múisica e fico em boas lembranças e inspirações
Também farei 45 anos em junho dia 10 e escuta essas músicas só me traz boas lembranças.
EU COM 59 ANOS , HOJE , E NOS ANOS 80 DANCEI MUITO ESSE SOM .....SAUDADES..
Também sou de 77 e ouvia muito essa música em minha infância na década de 80..
Saudades ❤❤
Amo essa música fiquei feliz de sem querer encontrar essa música do RUclips lembro da minha infância... essa banda é nota 100000 nem se comprar cm a geração de hj....eu tenho 41 anos
We're in the basement
Learning to print, all of it's hot
10-20-30 million ready to be spent
We're stackin' 'em against the wall
Those gangster presidents
Livin' simple and trying to get by
But honey, prices have shot through the sky
So I fixed up the basement with what I was a-workin' with
Stocked it full of jelly jars and heavy equipment
We're in the basement
10-20-30 million dollars, ready to be spent
Walk into the bank, try to pass that trash
Teller sees and says, "Uh-huh, that's fresh as grass"
See the street pass under your feet
In time to buy the latest model getaway Jeep
So I fixed up the basement
With what I was a-workin' with
Stocked it full of jelly jars and heavy equipment
We're in the basement
So I fixed up the basement
With what I was a-workin' with
Stocked it full of jelly jars and heavy equipment
We're in the basement
Learning to print, all of it's hot, all counterfeit
Muito bom o clipe. E ,pode tirar o chapéu, ela interpreta muito!!
Tnx for the lyrics!
Ghost 89 Thanks for the Lyrics!!
I always thought it was "We're stacking them against the wall, there's gangs of presidents". Now I must Google. 😀
Minha antiga conta
This is such a great video. They're all so young and beautiful, and in the middle of their whirlwind success, with their greatest joys and tragedies still ahead of them. It's like watching ghosts play out a fantasy.
That was beautiful.
The RUclips time machine :)
Essa música é sensacional! Legal Tender marcou uma geração. A criatividade na simplicidade pra fazer algo eterno.
mais uma relíquia dos anos 80. quem em 2020 ouvindo e vendo essa maravilha?
me!!!!!
Anos 80 foi uma explosão de criatividade em todas as áreas...essa década fantástica marcou a história da música mundial como nenhuma outra...
Eu
E verdade amigo eu amo esse som ✌️👍🇧🇷🇱🇷
Euuuu
Gotta love it when a group produces a track like this and all of their other songs are completely different. I mean I like B-52's stuff but this song is just amazing and unique. Wouldn't mind a few more of them like this.
Isto é que é banda!!
The entire arrangement is an absolute delight but that Surf Guitar solo is just...*chef's kiss*
A simplicidade do videoclipe e a alegria de Kate e Cindy ao gravarem esse Hit e incrível , talvez elas não soubessem na época mas com certeza ficariam pra sempre na história da música , parabéns ao the B-52's !!!!! 🎶🎶🎶🔊🔊🔊👏👏👏👏👏
This song is back in January 1983. It should have been on the Top 40 on the Billboard Magazine on week ending January 16, 1983.
Anos 80. Melhor tempo em todas aa coisas e tempos. Hoje com tanta tecnologia e poucos avanços. Safra de coisas excelentes, o que não se vê hoje.
B-52s along with REM Athens Georgias finest rival NY RAMOMES New York Dolls Talking Heads Blondie etc ..... "Legal Tender" classic 😎👍.
Nostalgia pura B'-52s
The B-52's 4 EVER!! NO one like them. PUT THEM IN THE HALL OF FAME!!!! WTF!!!! Love to Fred, Kate, Cindy, Keith and Ricky!!!!!
Viva aos anos 80's!
Pablo santos eles bombaram no rock in rio 1985 e foram apelidados de bife com tutu
mi hermano
Definitivamente a melhor década.
Si, pero creo que este es de los 70s.
@@curioso77a
Pode crer!
Nasci em 81 e cresci ouvindo essas obras de arte. Hoje não dá outra, continuo ouvindo e minha filha também ta curtindo bastante!
Love the 52s..especially in the 80s.
What an awesome song...B52s are awesome!!!
I remember thinking how on point they were in the early 80s with tracks like this one and Private Idaho. There was a lot of British New Wave taking itself very seriously at the time so it felt fresh. As a 13 year old, Rock Lobster seemed every bit as important as Bohemian Rhapsody...
I'm a 49 year old brother from the hood!!! And I had this song on tape listening to this song on my Walkman on my way to Memphis TN, for the summer!!
nowadays people won't even know what a walkman is, let alone tape
Same here! And my name is Darren! 👍🏿
The 80s Love it! No Judgment.
@@SamSprole especially not kids
Cindy and Kate are just drop dead gorgeous in this video
There's a B-52's video where it cuts to the strings of the guitar being played and it shows his missing strings. It's an early video, pre Cosmic Thing. What video is it?
Ahhh! Finally!! This one
This was such a smash hit in Brazil, it's still THE banger in every cool party ever.
We're still in the basemeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeent!
Isso maravilhoso eu não consigo ficar parado quando eu ouço esse clássico do B52 👏👏👏👏👏
re-discovering all these earlier, pre-Loveshack tunes has been a fucking revelation. Jesus fucking christ these guys were good.
Always preferred “The Ricky Years.”
Immediately takes me back to 1984 making fake ID’s to be able to get into a bar to see them play in Margate,NJ.
Yes it was awesome being a kid w a b52 shirt
Fred came himself to death
Right on
Ouvi muito essa música adolescência como era bom a década de 80, época inesquecível. 😙😚😎
Nothing like a funny pop song about counterfeiting money and getting away with it! Still love this band after all these years.
Me too
Like all those gangster presidents
Oldbmwr100rs. B52 ROCK!! STILL LISTENING IN 2018!!
This is such a cool song.
Aunt Barbara, I Concur :)
Jamais..
Pode se dizer q essa é uma das minhas músicas favoritas do B-52s ❤❤❤🎶🎶🎸🎸
Sweetest band ever
Goddamit I miss the 80s!
I graduated in 81 the 80s were absolutely the best ever.
It's amazing how current the B52s still sound. The crystal clear production doesn't hurt, but they were right on point with so many of their trademarks. Like using kiddie or toy instruments--so many "indie" type bands do that now.
I always loved how they snuck an awful lot of Motown into their sound, which back in the 80s, was grouped in with "New Wave", alongside fellow Americans Devo, and the Brit brigade of synth poppers like Bronski Beat and Scritti Politti. They were very image conscious, in such a fun and theatrical way, something that is sadly too often missing from today's "indie" types who wear the same understated thrift store "undercover cool" looks onstage and off, almost like they're too embarrassed to really go all out when it comes to a stage show. That distancing sense of irony; of trying to act like you don't really care--the B's were all about being giant goofy dorks and having as much fun as possible without EVER trying to be cool.
Waterstreet68- you really nailed it.
I am king of the Blues and I tell you this The B-52's are doing things that nobody thought of; brilliant!
This group is Theater at it's best! (that's the real stuff)
Je pense qu'on entend un Synclavier ou au moins un Fairlight, qui ne sont pas tout à fait des jouets.
Eu em 2022 escutando 😍. Adoro essa música, e olha que eu só tinha 1 ano de idade quando ela foi lançada 🤭
Dancei muito!! Hoje 57 e curto muito.
Curti e curto muito. Tenho 68.
ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSIC!! 80"S MUSIC RULES!! the dj
Cutest song about criminal activity ever. Kate & Cindy 😍
Well then i'm a criminal too.
Yeah, Love them all!!!!
Truely remarkable!
Yeah damm it why do these two Girls got to be so damm cute?
Yeah but nothing criminal about them (they are theater and art) wich apparently nobody knows this stuff anymore.
Great stuff
Let's make our own money and go mad
What a pop song SHOULD be
And Kate/Cindy doing their cosmic thing
Love it
When Kate & Cindy are in their zone it's hard to tell where one begins and the other ends.
They were seemingly born to sing with each other.
Ô época boa! ❤
