The B-52's

Juliet, I can feel your glow
Of passions ready to explode
Secrets you kept should all be told
Like blossoms ready to unfold

Juliet, you're not afraid anymore
Juliet, Juliet, I'm not afraid anymore

Sweet love's comin' on, oh
Girl can you hear it? Oh, oh, oh
Standing in the sunshine, oh
Juliet of the spirits

Pleasure is calling you, oh
Girl can you hear it? Oh, oh, oh
Sweet love hon' is what you need, oh
Juliet, I can feel it

Spirits, let your cool light shine
Visions swirling, let me tell you mine
You're a force of nature, can't be controlled
You know you've got it girl, c'mon and let it show

Juliet, you're not afraid anymore
Juliet, Juliet, I'm not afraid anymore

Sweet love's comin' on, oh
Girl can you hear it? Oh, oh, oh
Standing in the sunshine, oh
Juliet of the spirits

Pleasure is calling you, oh
Girl can you hear it? Oh, oh, oh
Sweet love hon' is what you need, oh
Juliet, I can feel it

Lady be a cool
Set your pleasure free
Lady don't you be a fool
Let your pleasure go, go, go

Pleasure is calling you, oh
Girl can you hear it? Oh, oh, oh
Sweet love 'hon is what you need, oh
Juliet, I can feel it

Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

The B-52’s, (now stylized as The B-52s) are an internationally successful New Wave band also known for their campy fashion. The group’s original line-up consisted of Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson, Keith Strickland, Cindy Wilson and Ricky Wilson. Originally, all members of the band played multiple instruments. However, after Ricky Wilson’s tragic AIDS-related death in 1985, instead of hiring a full-time replacement, Strickland transitioned to primarily playing guitar, and the band has used various other musicians for recording and touring purposes.

Their self-titled first album The B-52’s was released to critical acclaim in 1979, spawning the Canadian chart-topping hit “Rock Lobster”, which was also successful in Australia, New Zealand, the US and the UK. Rolling Stone magazine later placed the album at #152 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

Their second album, Wild Planet, released in 1980, spawned another minor US hit with “Private Idaho”. Whammy! followed in 1983, giving the band a third minor US hit with “Legal Tender”. Their fourth album, Bouncing Off the Satellites, was recorded and mixed but not yet released when Ricky Wilson died in October 1985. It was nearly a year before the album was released, in September 1986. It is the band’s only album that does not feature a picture of its members on the cover.
