The B52s were just fantastic. I use to party to this song back in the very early 80s. In fact, they were one of the few groups that could change the atmosphere in a club. WHen this or Rock Lobster came on, the entire club would dance together and sing the lyrics. It was "fantabulous"

This is my very favorite single song of theirs. It's perfect in every way. Pure New Wave and perfectly raw. Loved them at the time and Lene Lovich, Devo, Talking Heads, Pil , Psychedelic Furs, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Eno era Bowie. Nina Hagen, Television, Japan and later Depeche Mode after my Childhood Beatles and early teen Zeppelin Floyd era. Great music, a second 60's. The 90's was the last interesting time musically. Still between Robyn with Röyksopp, Parliament Funkadelic, Elvis and J.S. Bach there is a lot of music to choose.

I've been in love with this band since I was a kid, living at the beach, hopped up on the influence of Wendy O. Williams, Roller Derby, and memories of Joey Heatherton. My God I love this band!! Never a disappointment. New Wave Heaven!! Kate and Cindy are beyond fab-oo!! I love 'em all.

They made this song in honor of the Twilight Zone episode called "The Bewitchin' Pool" watch that episode. Listen to the part of the song where they say "Beware of the pool, blue bottomless pool it leads you straight through the gate that opens on the pool" and then they play the twight zone theme, they also say "Don't let the chlorine in your eyes blind you to the big surprise that's waitin' for you at the bottom of the bottomless blue blue blue pool" "It's a pool full of strangers" The kids in the movie escape to there own private Idaho.

I was born in 1996, I have only 13 years, and still love the old songs like this since a long time. What counts is the quality in music, no matter the date. The former are the best, most well written. They were real songs, not like today, that a DJ chooses any song, make a small change and says he is of his own. Any idiot pick up the "Sony Acid" and creates a song whenever wants. At least here in Brazil, the music has not changed for the better. if I wrote wrong, sorry, I do not speak English.
