The B-52's

"The B-52's are a New Wave rock band formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1976. The B-52's sound is marked by the vocals and feminine harmonies of Wilson and Pierson, and the generally spoken-word or sprechgesang male vocal counterpoint of Fred Schneider. The resulting unique 'guy vs. gals' vocals, sometimes used in call and response style (as in their songs 'Private Idaho' and 'Good Stuff'), are a trademark of the band. Presenting as a positive, enthusiastic, slightly wacky party band, the B-52's have focused on songs telling tall tales ('Rock Lobster', 'Girl from Ipanema Goes to Greenland'), glorifying wild youth ('Love Shack', 'Deadbeat Club'), or celebrating wild romance ('Strobe Light', 'Hot Pants Explosion'), all set to a danceable New Wave beat."
