B-52s - Girls From Ipanema Goes to Greenland

[VoR]

Definitely in B-52s top 5, written in the immediate wake of Ricky Wilson's death. It was a massive highlight when I saw them live.

REMEMBER,
Wherever you go, well...
THERE YOU ARE...

Adore the singles from this album even though it was obviously the most difficult and unsuccessful era of their career

This is 10/10 but my favourite of the singles is WIG

 

[Mike(y) W]

It's always been a favourite.

LOVE the ‘Bouncing…’ album, but such a sad time for them

‘Detour thru your mind’ is a highlight.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN TEN DOLLARS?

Have you seen the Wig perf at Alton Towers?

I love to call my wig ‘Ilona’

They’ve just announced a Vegas residency!

I’ve been having a real Bouncing off the Satellites revival of late.

It has a reputation as a lost record due to the tragic circumstances around it, but it really feels like a dry run for the mega-success they achieved with Cosmic Thing.

Ain’t It a Shame, Girl From Ipanema, Wig and Summer of Love would all easily be in my B-52’s top ten.

The former might well be my all-time favourite Cindy Wilson vocal.

I LOVE ‘Bouncing…..’ but ‘Juicy Jungle’ kind of irritates me.

Have you seen the clip of them performing on ‘Hold Tight!’ from this era? It was a kids tv game show set in Alton Towers. I was desperate to go on it (and I’m sure my elder brothers senior school actually did)

Oh. I posted that clip about three posts up
