Rock Lobster closed down the bars as 2am. The drunken dancers would sing along and fall to the dance floor kicking and yelling "down, down" then screaming Rock Lobster along to the music. It made you laugh hysterically, tired you out, and ended a night on this hype note. Every wallflower in the club came out for this one. It makes me happy every time I hear it.

Just so you guys know, this was NOT some fringe weirdo song, this was mainstream and on the radio almost every day over and over. It was played all the time back then. It's popularity was a 10. I remember as a teenager at nightclubs - when this song came on EVERYONE rushed to the dance floor!! you have no idea how catchy this song was for us and how much fun it was to my generation to listen to and dance to. As for going on your playlist, play it over and over about 6-10 times and I am sure you will put it on your playlist.

Rock Lobster was the absolute JAM! Everyone could get on the floor and dance, or flop around, and absolutely NO-ONE cared. That was the entire point. This was such a bop-your-head song and SOOOOO WEIRD that there was nothing that anyone could do on the dance floor that was out of character. It was a tune where everyone was truly equal. You could dance, you could bop, you could jam, you could even mosh to this tune. It always made you break a sweat and then some....This was the tune where nerds with two left feet actually ruled the dance floor... and found their coolness.

You have to understand that this song was a reaction to the corporate rock music of the 1970s (this song came out in 1978). One of the things that makes the B-52's so great is how they made music that was utterly unlike anything anybody had ever heard before or has ever heard since. Don't try to make sense of this song. It wasn't made for you to make sense of it. It was made for you to just listen and have fun with something that is different from anything you've ever heard before or will ever hear again. And in that vein, listen to that whole album. It's absolute genius.

What pop music used to be all about. In fact, the more you listen to this song, it gets better and better, a joyous, inventive masterpiece of a song and proof that punk was just the catalyst for guys like this to express themselves and re-invent everything. The youthful exuberance and performance commitment that's visible here is timeless.

@johnny07652 5 месяцев назад

"Was this a huge song?" This song shifted EVERYTHING, that is not an exaggeration. This song opened the door wide open for punk, new wave, etc. - it broke the old rock-and-roll styles and paradigms and brought in the 80's era which in turn gave us such diverse music including rap/hip-hop. The only other group I can think that had this kind of effect at that same time period would be Blondie and then a little more distant third would be Devo (but Devo benefitted from Blondie and B-52's). This is literally an iconic song in music history, and that is not an understatement at all. One of the seminal, iconic songs that ushered in the new wave of music which diversified everything from rock to disco to punk to hip-hop.

There's no bass guitar here. The guitarist put bass string for the top 2 strings on his guitar. This originally came about because when they were in high school in Athens, GA, he used to borrow the drummer's guitar, break the strings, and then replace them with what he could find ... it created a unique guitar playing sound that is the signature sound for the early B52s.

@deanm375 2 года назад

"Rock lobster" was their break out song. This song was HUGE!!! You have to see it played at a dance club to appreciate it. It's quirky dance song right up there with "Time Warp" and "YMCA". It's pure fun. Loosely based on a trip to the beach. Tanning butter is how Brits say suntan lotion.

@ronnix23 2 года назад

Huge??? I guess when you consider they hadn't had a hit before that then maybe. It only got to #56 on Billboard as opposed to Love Shack and Roam which both got to #3. Even Deadbeat Club #30 and Good Stuff #28 did better than it. Rather than calling it huge, I would just say that Rock Lobster had a cult following, more so than their other songs.

@ronnix23 2 года назад

@@vinnygi I absolutely believe you on that point. I think if you were in the 18 to 25 age range when the song came out, then you're more likely to view the song with a sense of nostalgia. I was in 7th grade at the time, so it didn't resonate with me the same way, but I had a science teacher in her early 20's who loved the song and even gave us extra credit if we could list every animal in the song. When I was in that age range another band, ironically also from Athens, GA, R.E.M. was viewed the same way. If you were in your late teens to mid twenties you got them. If you weren't you probably didn't. I also remember hip hop song It Takes Two by Rob Base being huge at campus parties, but it only got to #36 on the charts. Rock Lobster strikes me as a you had to be there kind of song. As such, I'm not surprised Jay and Amber didn't get it, but it was fun to see their reaction.
