Love Shack: The B52s

N.B.: Blogging will be intermittent until Mid-March as I'm presently snowed under with a new work project!

In hindsight, the end of 1989 until the end of 1990 were probably the most difficult years of my life (and to be honest, it's all a bit of a blur until mid-1992).

However, even through that grim 15 months, The B52s album Cosmic Thing stands out as brilliant sunshine, everything that I love about the non-serious side of pop music. The stand-out track - amongst a number of other terrific ones - is the glorious, effervescent Love Shack, still sounding great 20 years later.

Thanks for the help, guys.

Incidentally, the final lyric:

Fred: You're what?
Cindy: Tin roof, rusted!

means that Cindy's pregnant!
