The inspiration for the B-52’s big hit, “Love Shack” was destroyed by arsonists.
If only it had been the inspiration for the X song “Burning House of Love” …
Two words.
Bloodhound Gang.

I crack me up.
As long as Normaltown and the Atlanta Highway are still safe, I’m okay with the news.
But…but…where will we go now to get to ge-ther-er-er?
Useless trivia: The big tall black “woman” in the video is a pre-fame Ru Paul.
Maybe everybody can pool their “jukebox money” and rebuild it?
Well, if we sell that gas-guzzling big-as-a-whale-Chrysler and buy a hybrid, we can put the gas savings towards it.
But, gas guzzlers are good. They help lessen the time untill the worlds oil supply runs out, so I can conquer the planet after it has been crippled.
But the roof ISN’T on fire … apparently that’s pretty much all that’s left!
Ah, no no no. It isn’t “tin roof, destroyed”.
It’s “tin roof, busted!” har har har
(Original lyric being “tiiiiin rooof! rusted!”)
Again, har har har.
Oh! More useless trivia! The “tiiiiin roof! Rusted!” line was a mistake. The band was sort of free-styling it toward the end of the recording session and she didn’t realize they’d hit the end of the song so let out the big “tiiiiin roof!” Then she realized the music had ended and sheepishly threw out the “rusted” and everyone loved it so that it stayed in.
Hey, I didn’t know that. That’s cool. I like the B-52s. Fun music and the band members seem like nice people to boot!
