oh fuck, oh fuck I really, REALLY would love to have these tix, but as a poster here I’m disqualified, right?
Damn, damn, damn I think I have everything they ever did on a combo of vinyl, 8track, cassette and cd. Oh damn oh damn I would love to have these.
My link just in case no one claims them. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/668051/rock_lobster/ (you do have to get through a bad commercial first).

I had to put this together quickly, because I have to get back to work; and I’m not too handy with the Wacom pen, it turns out (and not exactly the best artist to start out); but I think this gets the point across…

B-52’s, Is my curse, I have tried to see them and everytime I get so close and something happens (miss them, car crashs, etc). I finally met a guy who loves them as much as me, (hard to do I know) this would be so great. I just had to try one last time. The video is awsome but I agree it is a bit on the unfair side but hanks for sharing it with us. I was looking for a different concept, but I really like this one.

Yeah, dudes, the one just above this comment is NSFW.
Okay, this is more like "Rocky" lobster, but the lobster does truly rock this cat’s world.

Is it too late to vote for lobster vs. cat? Yeah, I’m easily entertained, whatever. Plus, I used to have a pet crayfish called Phideaux.
As much as I’d really like to see the B-52s, I don’t think I could possibly find a link nearly as compelling as any of those above. My vote is for Frazgo, even though he’s a poster here. He wants to see them so bad he used the fuck word. TWICE! I don’t think I’ve ever seen him do that before. Also, I liked his video the best, and I didn’t even have to sit through a commercial.
Good luck, Fraz!
Ok…the B52s, and Rock Lobster in particular, screams 80s in my rapidly aging noggin.
So, a quick search of the inter-tubes found this which coincidentally screams 80s too.
The colors, the sweater, the "Take On Me" A-Ha illustration style.
Arghhhhhhhhh!
Now I must have those tickets, I need a little "Love Shack" to cleanse my eyes. Or at least a unicorn chaser.
p.s. am I the only one surprised we haven’t been "rick-rolled" yet?
Oh, tracon, the RickRoll is sooo early-’08. This is the latest thing: http://tinyurl.com/6hcnqm
I think this music video captures the exuberant, zany fun of the B-52’s:

Damn you Burns!!
Actually, this is the latest thing….
No unicorn chaser required…just pure goodness
So maybe this image is a bit more age appropriate for you youngens.
I will give you what ever picture you want, this girl just wants see the B-52’s so f-ing bad.

Thanks Burn’s you would not believe how hard I’ve tried to see them over the years. Even a dead Pinto was a cause once.
Ah, see what I did there?
