Ilove the "Some say she's from Mars..." verse.Alone, that verse could be about finding or knowing someone who is really different, and perhaps not accepted by the community, but you/he likes her anyway for that reason. She isn't an Martian! She came from and lives in her own world!The long instrumental intro is great too :)

It was played frequently when I was at University way back when - think to this day it is one of the great songs of the last thirty years. The opening with the singing mimicking the keyboard is simply brilliant and the guitar on the whole album is just a great and unique sound, I gather played with four strings. Will always be a favourite.

The problem with interpre... er... The problem with trying to say what a B-52 song means is that they're so strangely awesome and nonsensical that it's sometimes hard to see anything serious behind it. xP

For instance, this song could be about someone from another country and how people can treat them very strangely and differently, but I think it is actually about an alien. Like, green skin, antennae, that kind.

Okay Okay, anima85...we belive you, she is an odd duck ( and I prolly dated her at one point given your description)I agree with the original assesment. the B-52's have their own sort of genius that I'd call anti-genius.

This is a great song. If you like "Rock Lobster" or "Private Idaho", you'll like it. If you are more of a "Love shacK" person than it might not be for you. I personally like the older stuff much better than the newer stuff.

lmfao.. i searched on limewire for the words mesopotamia cos i've been reading up a little bout it and just wanted to see what was on it.. i checked out on here to see peoples interpretations and i jus saw this song 'HALLEYUUYAA' (or howeva ya spell it) i just met sum bitch named claire who i was hangi wit for a while, using bitch, she used to put songs to people 'MY GOD, THIS IS PERFECT' thank u b52's.. also i just found out who does love shack, lol.. legend!

and yer.. this girl was on her own planet.. i aint fucking joking either.. never met a girl like her in my life.. sum1s bound to tell me i havent lived.. well if i havent lived and theres plenty more of her out there.. then count me out!
