Wig
B-52′s (from Bouncing Off the Satellites)
What’s that on your head?
A wig
Wig, wig, wig
Sally’s gotta wig
Ricky’s gotta wig
Baby’s gotta wig
Kate’s gotta wig
Fred’s gotta cheap toupee
Keith’s gotta big bouffant on
We all got wigs, so let’s go!
CHORUS
On the neon, neon side of town
On the neon, neon side of town
Julia’s gotta wig
Phyllis has a wig
Cindy’s gotta wig
J.T.’s gotta wig
Carols’ fall fell
Bubba’s gotta big bouffant on
We all got wigs, so…let’s go!
CHORUS
On the neon, neon side of town
On the neon, neon side of town
What’s that on your head?
A wig
Wig, wig, wig
Wig’s on fire! Wig’s on fire! Wig’s on…fire!
It’s 2525 and we’ve got the most wigs alive!
Wig’s on fire! Wig’s on fire! Take it higher!
It’s 2525 and we’ve got the hottest do’s alive!

This post is hysterical and hit me personally.
Fifteen years ago, I had a friend that would always say, “What’s that on your head? A wig?,” whenever she spotted someone with a suspected hair piece. I never knew this is where it came from. Then again, I doubt most people know what I’m talking about when I say, “There’s a big, bird, over my house, there’s a big big bird, over my house. It’s making a mistake! A big mistake!” LOL
A couple of months ago, I started a new series of posts on my blog called “Wiggy Wednesday” and I always hear her saying this in my mind as I’m scouring the Internet for the most incriminating photos of people with bad wigs/toupees!!!
One of my favorite B-52′s songs! If you incorporate “Dance This Mess Around” or “Give Me Back My Man”, I will totally do a fanboy squeal.
One of THE best B-52′s songs. Ever.
Now that’s a joyful noise.
I can’t listen to any song off that album without thinking about Ricky Wilson.
Wig is one of my all time FAVORITE B52′s songs! EVER! “… because he didn’t want ‘toupee’!” A ha ha ha ha!
