B-52's - Love Shack

Seguimos con ritmo en el fin de semana...

Hoy traigo un grupo diferente. Lo primero que me viene a la cabeza cuando oigo su nombre son sus cuidadas indumentarias, su pelucones y su estilo musical tan peculiar. Mezclan el pop ,el rock psicodelico, el disco, la música surf todo englobado en la New Wave- Históricamente los situamos a finales de los setenta en Atlanta, siendo los ochenta en su mitad y los principios de los noventa su mayor apogeo musical. Su nombre viene del bombardero B-52 y un tipo de peinado, al que aludia antes, que tenía la forma del morro del avión y es el que usaban las cantantes del grupo en los primeros años de la banda. El tema de hoy es un exitazo de 1989 perteneciente a su disco Cosmic Thing, y que refleja muy bien lo que es esta banda. Escuchamos rock, escuchamos el tono generalmente monótono, diriamos hablado casi, de la voz de Schneider, sus vocalistas fantásticas, y esas indumentarias y peinados tan ....ellos.

Deseo que os guste la elección de hoy, espero que os vaya remitiendo la nieve poco a poco y si hay frío pues a bailar....



"If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says
15 miles to the... Love Shack! Love Shack yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway,
lookin' for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale
and we're headin' on down
To the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money

The Love Shack is a little old place
where we can get together
Love Shack baby, Love Shack bay-bee.
Love baby, that's where it's at,
Ooo love baby, that's where it's at

Sign says.. Woo... stay away fools,
'cause love rules at the Lo-o-ove Shack!
Well it's set way back in the middle of a field,
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back

Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway

The Love Shack is a little old place
where we can get together
Love Shack bay-bee! Love Shack baby!
Love Shack, that's where it's at!
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin',
wearin' next to nothing
Cause it's hot as an oven
The whole shack shimmies!
The whole shack shimmies when everybody's
Movin' around and around and around and around!
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Folks linin' up outside just to get down
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby
Funky little shack! Funk-y little shack!

Hop in my Chrysler,
it's as big as a whale
and it's about to set sail!
I got me a car, it seats about twenty
So c'mon and bring your jukebox money.

The Love Shack is a little old place
where we can get together
Love Shack baby! Love Shack bay-bee!
(Love Shack...Love Shack...)
Love Shack, that's where it's at!

Bang bang bang on the door baby!
Knock a little louder baby!
Bang bang bang on the door baby!
I can't hear you
Bang bang on the door baby
Bang bang on the door
Bang bang on the door baby
Bang bang
You're what?... Tin roof, rusted!

Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love baby, that's where it's at
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love baby, that's where it's at
Huggin' and a kissin',
dancin' and a lovin' at the love shack "
