The B-52's Lyrics


Twenty years and twenty million albums into a career that
began as a low-rent lark in Athens, Georgia, the B-52's
remain the most unlikely pop superstars ever. The first
band to glorify pop culture with an almost Warholian sense
of purpose, the B-52s purveyed their absurd B-movie style
and off-kilter sound celebrating the weirdness lurking just
beneath the surface of Americana not exactly a recipe for
chart success but way ahead of its time, nonetheless. One
listen through the new greatest hits disc Time Capsule:
Songs For A Future More...

Review about The B-52's songs
It's quite a sad song... | Reviewer: RideMe
    ------ About the song Dirty Back Road performed by The B-52's

I don't think it's about "getting a little anal action", it's more likely to be about a careless lover - literally. Considering that Fred and Ricky are/were gay, and that Cindy was Ricky's sister, I'd say it's more likely written from the point of view of a young man. He's been a little careless with his lovers and found himself with someone who is using his body in a very cold and careless manner. The B-52s often had a lot of sadness in their songs (and joy, of course) which just makes them all the more interesting.

    ------ About the song Rock Lobster performed by The B-52's

I was a senior in high school when this song came out. I immediately became a B-52s fan and bought the album. It was so different than most of the bands of the time. It prepared me for other bands that soon became my favorites like Devo, Talking Heads, Romantics etc. Hard for me to believe someones first time to hear the B-52s would be on the family guy but at least it got the song out there for others to hear.

Kinda sounds like it? | Reviewer: Stinger6
    ------ About the song Dirty Back Road performed by The B-52's

Is there anyone who doesn't know that this song is about gettin' some back door action? Many of the B-52's songs are thinly veiled references to sex. Dirty Back Road? My God, how much more obvious can you be? And "Roam"? Am I the only person that knows what "Around the World" means? Not to mention "Bush Fire", which is a reference to a natural readhead...if you know what I mean ;)

    ------ About the song Rock Lobster performed by The B-52's

This is terrific and has been a fav in our family for as long as I can remember! Even my grandkids love it. The 2 yr old dances with us & try to say Rock Lobster. It's a FUN song - beats the cryin in your beer songs. I've never seen family guy but I hope they did it justice. Lighten up people - Life is way to serious with things we can't control. Enjoy something simple.

    ------ About the song Rock Lobster performed by The B-52's

Family guy kids: If none of you have noticed by now, Family Guy steals every single bit of it's material from something else, like all tv shows do. The B-52's are classic, and there are a lot worse songs that have been published. For instance, anything played on the radio from 2002-2009. Rock Lobster may be a little immature, but it's fun to sing and dance to. My friends and I like to yell "Rock Lobster!" at random times throughout the day, and it even helps to yell it during awkward situations. lol.

It's not as "dirty" as you think... | Reviewer: Cybershaman
    ------ About the song Dirty Back Road performed by The B-52's

I think it's just about having wild free sex on the ground somewhere. The girl has her feet in the air and sand in her hair. She urges her man not to look around (who cares if somebody is watching!) but focus on her instead. Just be reckless and enjoy the ride! :)

B-52 girls write a country song | Reviewer: Jim
    ------ About the song Ain't it a Shame performed by The B-52's

One of my favorite songs, period. First the music took my mind elsewhere. Later I got the words. Plain and honest as country songs used to be but ain't now. Why she called a Plymouth a Chevy? That is a mystery that will puzzle future archaeologists. One beautiful song.

WOW | Reviewer: catherine
    ------ About the song Rock Lobster performed by The B-52's

WOW

I saw this on Family Guy first and, like the other anonymous reviewer, thought it was a weird little made up song like all the others in Family Guy. I cannot believe this is a real song. It is incredible.

i wish every lobster was a rock lobster | Reviewer: amelia!?!? YES
    ------ About the song Rock Lobster performed by The B-52's

Rock Lobster's just a downright fantastic song. A triumph of awesomeness. The B-52's are wizards of greatness. (By the way, if your introduction to this song was Family Guy, your review is automatically voided.) Rock Lobster FOREVER. LET'S ROOOOOOOOOOCK!
