The B-52's had few reasons to party in 1989: Guitarist Ricky Wilson had died; their previous album had flopped. But with production by dance-rock master Don Was, they slapped smiles and Dixie New Wave glitter all over this bouncing beauty. With the help of a backwoods-boogaloo video (with a cameo by future drag star RuPaul), the B's had a Top Ten hit.
Appears on: Cosmic Thing (Reprise)
