Song Notes: The B-52s are pretty grand, and I've always dug this song. The video is one of my favorite B-52s videos as well, if anything, for the shot in the bridge-y bit of the song with them all cradling synthesizers as if they were babes in swaddling clothes. It's one of the most DEVO images DEVO never actually did. When I first saw that, I tried to find a screencap for my desktop wallpaper. I couldn't find it, which is odd, since it's a particularly striking image. I haven't yet searched again, though, and I think, if anything, it was a passing fancy. But this video is just so good, and it's such a lovely, good-natured song. Hooray! - Rev. Syung Myung Me
