The B-52’s Have A Chrysler And It’s As Big As A Whale!

Yeah! All you hipsters and music heads can look down your ski slope snobby nose at Dave In The Cave for, out of all the tunes in the rock and roll era choosing THIS as today's song of the day selection. Oh yes, you go listen to your bed wetter music. We will all be over here DANCING.

yeah yeah, I know your memory of this song may be some Japanese businessman or some drunk doof in a backward ball cap murdering this song on karoke night, but whatever. Listen you like what you like. Call it a guilty pleasure, call it a bad song your sister liked in the eighth grade, I think this is one of the top pure party songs of all time. There's no deep thought here, just a great time on wax. I'm a sucker for any song that comes with it's own background party crowd.

Also, Fred Schneider is the best party host ever, y'all. And he's about to set sail. WHOOOO!

So, yes, hop in the Chrysler. Cos there's glitter on the highway. In 1989, the band was on a bit of a downturn, having just lost guitarist and songwriter Ricky Wilson. a comeback was needed. And this was it. Tin roof...rusted! Number one in Australia, number three in the U.S. and just plain ol' huge the world wide, this song was based on an actual shack that lead singer Kate Pierson lived in during the 70's, one that hung in there in our reality till burning down in 2004...cos it was as hot as an oven.

Enough jibber jabber. That car we mentioned seats about twenty, so hurry up, and bring your jukebox money-

-for our K-101.7 SONG OF THE DAY!
