Shack!
Love shack yah yah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway, lookin' for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale and we're headin' on down
To the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby, (a Love Shack bay-bee).
Love shack, baby love shack,
love shack, baby love shack, love shack.
(love baby, that's where it's at) love shack
(love baby, that's where it's at)
Sign says.. Woo... stay away fools,
'cause love rules at the Love Shack!
Well it's set way back in the middle of a hill,
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back
Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the highway
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together,
love shack baby... (Love Shack baby!)
Love Shack, that's where it's at!
Love Shack, that's where it's at!
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin',
wearin' next to nothing
Cause it's hot as an oven
The whole shack shimmies
YEA! the whole shack shimmies!
The whole shack shimmies when everybody's
Movin' around and around and around and around!
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Folks linin' up outside just to get down
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Funky little shack! Funky little shack!
Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail!
I got me a car, it seats about 20
So come on and bring your jukebox money.
Oh the Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
love shack, baby! (a love shack baby)
love shack! baby love shack
love shack! baby love shack
love shack! baby love shack (love baby that's where its at, yea, love baby
that's where it's at)
love shack! baby love shack
Bang bang bang, on the door baby! (Knock a little louder baby!)
Bang bang bang,on the door baby! (I can't hear you!)
Bang bang bang, on the door baby! (Knock a little louder sugar!)
Bang bang bang, on the door baby! (I can't hear you!)
Bang bang bang on the door baby
Bang bang bang on the door baby (knock a little louder)
Bang bang (on the door baby)
Bang bang (on the door)
Bang bang (on the door baby)
Bang bang
Your what?.... Tin roof, rusted!
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love Shack, baby Love Shack! love baby that's where its at, yea, love baby
that's where it's at}
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love baby, love shack
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin' at the love shack.
Love Shack - The B-52's
Released in 1989 on the album *Cosmic Thing*, "Love Shack" stands as a defining anthem of new wave and funk rock. The track features the band's signature sound, blending distorted guitars, a driving bassline, and the group's distinctive vocal harmonies led by Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson. Its catchy, repetitive chorus and satirical lyrics about a relationship trapped in a literal shack became an instant hit, reaching the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song's enduring popularity stems from its infectious energy and its role in cementing The B-52's status as pioneers of the alternative rock movement. It remains a staple of their discography, frequently covered and celebrated for its unique fusion of pop sensibilities with avant-garde flair.
