B 52's - Give Me Back My Man • TopPop
Рет қаралды 8,408,497
8 жыл бұрынThe B-52s (styled as The B-52's prior to 2008) are an American new wave band formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1976. The original line-up consisted of Fred Schneider (vocals, percussion), Kate Pierson (vocals, keyboards), Cindy Wilson (vocals, percussion), Ricky Wilson (guitar), and Keith Strickland (drums, guitar, keyboards). Ricky Wilson died from AIDS-related illness in 1985, and Strickland switched from drums to lead guitar. The band also added touring members for albums and live performances.
This song was recently covered by Juno Birch, a confused alien housewife from the ‘60s with over 200,000 Instagram followers. Juno Birch, who looks like she just fell out of the sky and is trying to blend in as a human, is a drag artist with one of the most unique styles attached to her name.

@@tomward9140 They are far from kids and definitely not innocent. When you lose the most valuable thing you ever laid your eyes on and someone else has it the trauma makes you revert back into your inner child because that's all you know for sure.. you. Some wise man wrote a book about a pearl diver to make it clear for folks😜. Carl Jung and my honky Freud made it pretty clear. It's a sad song that makes me want to get up and dance(if I could walk)I'm not sure why your sentences are so short but I agree. You can tell by the look in all their eyes they're putting their hearts into it. The human heart is so beautiful when it shines. I can't help but think of the insecurities Cindy had to fight and overcome up there, but yet she's one of the most beautiful ladies I've ever laid eye's on growing up. Clair is beautiful by all the public standards but I always swooned when I saw Cindy! Such strong spirits, all of them! Unique and unashamed! A huge part of my childhood!! I hope you get that sentence thing worked out. Remember, soap boxes are inherently slippery things to stand on if that's what that was about. Not really sure. Highest blessings!

@@darkwitnesslxx The Plastics formed in 1976, as did The B-52s, so they started at about the same time. But I don't think their guitar parts sound anywhere near the same. I'm not saying they're "bad," I can listen just fine, but they sound more like XTC's "Drums and Wires" album. The point is that guitar parts in B-52s songs are usually far more minimalist, while having hints of some unusual chords on one guitar - chords that try appearing like they're 2 different guitars instead of 1, even though 3 of their early songs from the first 2 albums had 2 guitars. And I say that as a fan of both early B-52s songs, and XTC. Kinda interesting that all 3 bands had officially formed in 1976.

I’ve grown to absolutely love this band. They sounded like no one before them and no one who’s come after them could match them. I’ve always lovingly referred to The B-52s as the musical equivalent to a John Waters film: kitschy, retro, and 9,000% one of a kind.

It´s about the desire to regain a lost love. The lyrics describe a woman who misses her partner and would do anything to be together again, even offering gifts like fish, candy and everything she has in her hand. The woman feels dizzy from the situation and feels that if she does not recover her man soon, she will drown in her pain. The song is a mixture of nostalgia, desire, and desperation to recover a lost lover. Good song. Love it.
@theoriginalkanyetwitty 11 ай бұрын
You are an idiot. 30 seconds of research would find that Cindy herself has said this song was about a girl who's boyfriend was eaten by a shark and comes to the beach each day to bargain with the shark. Take your pretentious bullshit elsewhere.

As a young man in 1979, new wave music held nothing for me, Led Zep etc was my world, but the B-52s and more accurately this tune, opened my ears to a whole new universe of music. You cannot stop your foot tapping to this classic intro I still love my Zep, but my music collection became a whole lot richer because of this band, because it taught me to have fun, 41 years later countless copies of tapes and cds later, this never leaves my car. This comment was meant for Planet Claire, just noticed it was for the autoplay song afterwards.

There's so much to this band. Unique, space-age party music. Part nerdy, part not giving a fuc&. Part sarcastic. Hot women, cool dudes. All in for each other. Total team. For me, the tone is set by Rick, that sound, and he had no ego; in background, but his unique sound was the foundation. Strange lyrics that weren't absurd. Can hear their sound in so many bands that followed. Who wouldn't want to be young again and dance all night to the B-52's? Love them.
