(Meet) The Flintstones
The B-52's · Time Capsule: Songs For A Future Generation [1998]
Flintstones, meet the Flintstones
There the modern stone age family
From the town of Bedrock
There a page right out of history
Let's ride with the family down the street
By the courtesy of Fred's two feet
When you're with the Flintstones
Have a yabba dabba doo time
A dabba doo time
We'll have a gay old time
The Flintstones
Flintstones, meet the Flintstones
There the modern stone age family
From the town of Bedrock
There a page right out of history
Someday, maybe Fred will win the fight
Then the cat will stay out for the night
When you're with the Flintstones
Have a yabba dabba doo time
A dabba doo time
We'll have a gay old time
We'll have a gay old time
(Meet) The Flintstones
The B-52's deliver a spirited tribute to classic animation with their cover of "(Meet) The Flintstones," appearing on the 1998 compilation Time Capsule: Songs For A Future Generation. Known for their distinctive new wave sound and theatrical energy, the band reimagines the iconic theme song with their signature falsetto harmonies and upbeat rhythm. This recording captures the group's enduring ability to blend pop culture references with their unique musical identity. While the original theme is instantly recognizable, the band's interpretation adds a layer of playful eccentricity that aligns with their broader discography. The track serves as a nostalgic nod to television history while showcasing the group's continued relevance in the late nineties. It stands as a lighthearted addition to their extensive catalogue, reflecting their knack for celebrating the whimsical side of music and media.
