Summer is nearly here, time to listen to the B52'S


Recommended Posts

I saw this thread and thought of 'Love Shack', thats a good song but I prefer 'Rock Lobster'.

 

Also I like the song Kate Pierson did with Iggy Pop called 'Candy'.

How did the B-52's get their name?

 

 

I just want to know.

Best Answer:
The band's name comes from a particular beehive hairdo resembling the nose cone of the aircraft of the same name. During their early years, wigs of that style were often worn by the band's female singers Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson.[1] The correct name for the band had long been "The B-52's", but in 2008 they dropped the apostrophe, with their official website and Funplex album and single covers reading "The B-52s". In a June 2009 interview with the Arizona Daily Star Schneider said that band will hereafter be known without its apostrophe.
