The B-52's - WHAMMY!

WHAMMY!
#85 in my RECORD COLLECTION series
In my new job, I see a lot of NICK JR, and I think about how the influence & inspiration of so much of the imagery, sound, feel & intent can be traced back to The B-52's.
And I think about how much our culture owes to Ricky Wilson, how his humor & flair permeates & informs our sensibilities.
I remember when I first heard WHAMMY!
...I think I borrowed it from Margaret Crites before I got my own copy...it was the first time music spoke to me like that; silly & sexy, smart, colorful & deep.
