Aside from Love Shack, I will never, ever understand how the B-52s became popular.

love that.

She came from Planet Claire
No one ever dies there
No one has a head--just a beehive hairdo.

What's not to like about a song where a smoke alarm has its own solo?

This mission is impossible, says Peter Gunn

I once (badly) karaoked this song at a local bar, and when it was over, I looked down saw Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters sitting in the crowd. Yikes!

p.s. I think it's pink "air", not hair, because no one has a head remember?

Someone threw a shoe on stage. Schneider grabs it, dancing, holds it up and exclaims "What a TACKY SHOE!!!!"

Great.

Kinds these days don't know how sucky radio music was when this came through like a breath of fresh pink air.

Play 'em, Mr. Bill -- please!

WELL SHE ISN'T is still one of the best lines in music, and this tune ROCKS like a -- well, like a ROCK LOBSTER!

Digable to the max, and timeless as a whacky sci-fi keyboard...
ROCK LOB!

There's a moon in the sky -- it's called THE MOON...

How I love that band!

My obese grandmother used to sport a Plymouth Satellite. Wore her hair like that too. Go Una.

Perhaps. But for Fred Schneider I suspect a peter gun is different thing entirely.

Based on what I've heard, I believe Bill has constructed a number of lists that are 4-6 hours long, which he occasionally repeats. He's just one person after all. He has to sleep sometime.

What's scary is that after I've heard a list 2-3 times, I can occasionally predict what song will come next.

More likely Plieades, aka the Seven Sisters. Or in Japanese - Subaru, as in the car.

I'm hooked on the Much Music Retro-Active channel, and they say that "John Lennon was known to call the B-52s his favorite band."

Derivative of theme form Peter Gunn.

Ya gotta see 'em live. One of the world's best party bands.

Speaking of History repeating, seems like RP playlist is too. At least it is every few months instead of every hour like Clear(ly Crap)Channel.

You've gotta love a radio station that plays Pink Floyd and The B52's two songs apart! I love it!!

Now let's hear "Dance This Mess Around"

planet claire has pink air...

I love this song. Kinda 1950's futuristic.

Pink followed by the B's.....Nyquill....night time buzz, anytime.

I think the 2's best song. Kitchy and all. I remember when this first came out, this was quintesentially cool.

Planet Claire is so, so ---
B-52's.
Good solid 8.

planet claire has pink hair
all the trees are red
no one ever dies there
cause no one has a head

ROCK ON

Damn, RP starts rocking when I should be leaving work.

2:06 pm - Propellerheads - History Repeating (w/ Shirley Bassey)
2:03 pm - Nikkfurie - The a la Menthe
1:58 pm - B-52's - Planet Claire

Some say she's from Mars
Or one of the seven stars
That shine after 3:30 in the morning
WELL SHE ISN'T !!

Yeah!

Let's say it again..... WELL SHE ISN'T!

LOVE IT!!!

Don't look now, but RP just got a little bit more eclectic!
