Next to “Roam”, this is probably my fave B-52′s song*. Don’t think the grocers’ apostrophe doesn’t drive me nuts — they fixed it last year, with the release of Funplex — but self-identification is to be respected. The literal representation of the instruments cracks me up and, Cindy, you ARE my goddess!
Video: B-52′s “Legal Tender”
*No, wait, it’s “52 Girls”. No, it’s “Deadbeat Club”. Wevs.

I think this is the first time I’ve seen the video for this. Love it!
I think each member of the band looks his/her absolute best in this video. The Whammy! album is woefully underrated.
As far as favorite song, I spent this entire summer in love with “Deep Sleep.”
This song is the best example of Kate and Cindy’s extended syllables. Who would have thought that the ‘ment’ in basement could (or ever would) be held for so long?
Brilliance.
I LOVE the b52s!!! While I do t have a favorite, I do really like Roam.
And, of course, Wig.
