The B52's - Rock Lobster
Today we bring you Rock Lobster, a non-sensical party song for the ages.
Who else could take these pre-school-sounding lyrics "We were at the beach / everybody had matching towels / somebody went under a dock / and there they saw a rock / it wasn't a rock / it was a rock lobster!" and turn it into something even remotely cool?
Did you know?
In addition to having some of the most bizarre lyrics in a successful pop song Last.fm states that the instruments used in making this song are: "a twangy, baritone surf-style electric guitar (a Mosrite), a Farfisa, Vox or Gibson organ, and drums. Unlike most pop and rock songs, no bass guitar was present. Instead, Kate Pierson played the bass line on keyboards."
