Roam If You Want To

Of course everyone knows today's group for their funky, infectious little hit back in the 80's known as "Love Shack." But, they had another big hit from the same album that I enjoy just as much, maybe even more, to this day. It's some state of art video graphics for 1989 in this video for sure. Here is the Athens, Georgia band known as The B-52's with "Roam"...

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that there were literally thousands of college aged students living in houses all around the country that have at one time or another referred to their pad as the "Love Shack"... this group actually formed in Athens, Georgia in 1976, but reached the height of their popularity with the release of this song - "Love Shack"...
