I got me a car, it’s as big as a whale…
Okay, not really. I drive a Honda, which is about the most unwhale-like type of a car there is. But after work today Hamburger and I are off to a concert. And bonus points if you can figure out the band based on the above snippet of lyrics. Not that either of us are necessarily fans of that particular band, but it’s an excuse to get out of town for the evening and have some fun.
So while I’m off bopping my head to “Love Shack” and “Rock Lobster” (and raise your hand if you danced to that in high school) this is your last chance to enter the February mini-challenge part of my New York Challenge. On Monday Mr Linky and I will put our heads together and select one lucky person from the challenge participants as the winner of a few goodies from The Strand (sorry, books not included in the prize package). I’ll also be posting another mini-challenge for March…and this time I’m gonna force you to be creative (don’t worry, it won’t hurt).
And if you’ve already read your book set in NY for the challenge, don’t forget to post your review here.
The B-52′s! I was way out of high school when those songs were popular.
I’m raising my hand! Of course, Rock Lobster is a favorite song.

Kathy beat us too it. I am sitting here now singing to myself the ‘Love Shack.’ Have a fabulous time at the concert.

I loved the b-52′s. That album was big hit back in the day. I still have yet to go to The Strand despite being both a book lover and a native New Yorker.

Are you going to the B-52s at the Chumash Casino? I was thinking of going! I saw them at UCSB when I was in high school and it was a really fun show.

I recently planned a father / daughter dance and none of the dads were dancing so I had the DJ play Rock Lobster. I’ve never seen so many middle age men on the floor with the “Down…down…down” LOL. It was hysterical! I was bopping behind the curtain so that no one could see me.
My fave song of theirs is Private Idaho.

Yes, I kind of like the B-52′s – what gave it away?

B52s of course!!! Love them! Didn’t know they were still playing. God bless them!

LOL! B52s formed in 76, I think. I was in (gasp) my first year of grad school.

I saw the B52s when I was a kid- 7 in fact! They played at Darien Lake in upstate NY and my family was there camping! So I may not have danced to them in high school… but I did dance to them then, and NOW.

Who didn’t get drunk in college and scream along with “Tin Roof…Rusted!”? Oh, wait. Was that just me? LOL!
