I'm not one for posting lyrics. I think i've done it about twice, as opposed to a friend of mine who does it on an almost daily basis. Anyway, this band has been a part of my life for a LONG time, and now with the discovery of this ipod thingy, I'm able to find a lot of gems that I haven't heard in a long time. One of these gems is an old B-52's song, from the album "Cosmic Thing" - which is also the album that includes Love Shack and Roam. This song reminds me of my younger days, when I had no resposibilities and I actually was part of the Dead Beat Club.
Deadbeat Club
Huh, Get a job, what for, I'm trying to think
I was good, I could talk
A mile a minute,
On this caffeine buzz I was on
We were really hummin'
We would talk every day for hours
We belong to the deadbeat club
Anyway we can,
We're gonna find something
We'll dance in the garden
In torn sheets in the rain
We'll dance in the garden
In torn sheets in the rain
We're the deadbeat club
We're the deadbeat club
Going down to Allen's for
A twenty-five cent beer
And the jukebox playing real loud,"Ninety-six tears"
We're wild girls walkin' down the street
Wild girls and boys going out for a big time
Let's go crash that party down
In Normaltown tonight
Then we'll go skinny-dippin'
In the moonlight
We're wild girls walkin' down the street
Wild girls and boys going out for a big time
Anyway we can
We're gonna find something
We'll dance in the garden
In torn sheets in the rain
We'll dance in the garden
In torn sheets in the rain
We're the deadbeat club
We're the deadbeat club
Oh no! Here they come
The members of the deadbeat club

DUDE! NO YOU DIDN'T!
I swear, that is the one album that got away....between that, and Automatic For The People, I think I was in love with Georgia before I got here.
Do you remember hanging out with Ashley and Josh? That reminds me of the B-52s.
And "Nightswimming" totally reminds me of you, Sarah, Jason, Jason, Marianne, Anne n' Ivy....
