Top 100 - Rock Lobster, B52's # 90
Story by Miranda
The
soundtrack of my early years was dominated by CountDown. In our house Molly was
compulsory family viewing. We'd help mum build a bed with doonas and pillows in
the middle of the lounge room floor and snuggle down for half an hour of cool.
And the coolest of them all to my way of thinking was and still is the b52s classic
Rock Lobster.
When I was a child I'm sure it was the bright
costumes and dodgy lighting effects in the film clip that appealed, but now I
just love the way the group sing even the most ridiculous lyrics with utter
conviction. They are 'seriously silly' - and that's something worth celebrating
and emulating. Whenever I hear the opening notes I scramble to my feet and get
ready for 4 odd minutes of unabandoned grooving. This song is joy to me - it is
jumping around the lounge room with my mum - it is late night/early morning
requests at dodgy Brisbane nightclubs in the mid-90s and it featured on the
playlist at my wedding.
