Producer: Tony Mansfield

Summer of love
Summer of love

I've been waiting for the man
Just buzzing around
Downtown
Waiting for that very special
Comes in to see what I got
Orange Popsicles and lemonade

It's the summer of love, love, love
I'm in love with love, love, love
For everyone transcends here
I'm thinking of you, boy
Love energy is giving us a shove
Making this the summer of love

I said
I see no clouds ahead

Summer of love
Summer of love

I'm standing in the rain
Just feeling the nitty-gritty of the
Whole thing
Everything is very special
Look in and see what I got
Orange Popsicles and lemonade

It's the summer of love, love, love
I'm in love with love, love, love
For everyone transcends here
I'm thinking of you, boy
Love energy is giving us a shove
Making this the summer of love

Summer of love
Summer of love
Summer of love

It's the summer of love, love, love
I'm in love with love, love, love
(For everyone)
It's the summer of love, love, love
I'm in love with love, love, love
(For everyone)
It's the summer of love, love, love
I'm in love with love, love, love
(For everyone)
It's the summer of love, love, love
I'm in love with love, love, love
(For everyone
For everyone
For everyone
For everyone
For everyone)

The B-52's

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.
