52 GIRLS

When I was a kid I had to do an assembly with the class where we performed a dance to two songs to the whole school. One of those songs was Seal, Kissed By a Rose, and the other was Shiny Happy People by REM. My wonderful teacher, Mrs Maguire, showed us the music video to Shiny Happy People as inspiration and I was mesmerised by this vivacious woman with flaming red hair who turned out to be Kate Pierson from the B52s.




At about the same time I was also obsessed with Kate Piersons lookalike - Peggy Bundy - from the sitcom Married With Children.


Anyway, I love the B52s. I never think I love them, but now I've realised that I do. I especially love the girls (obviously) and I've been listening to this song allllllll muthafuckin day! It was on a Claw Money mix tape and it didnt have the track name and I had to call my mate Jiro to find out what it was because he knows every single cool song ever made (thanks J). Listen now! It rawks....

So I wanna learn an instrument so I can make a song as good as this...

FYI - Check out the lyrics...
