SUMMER'S GREATEST SONGS COUNTDOWN: B-52's - "Rock Lobster"

Welcome back to Hitmaker Chronicles' countdown of the Top 20 Songs of the Summer, as voted by the staff of Caloroga Shark Media! I'm your host, Garrett Fisher. Coming in at number 19, we're diving into The B-52's quirky new wave classic "Rock Lobster" — that delightfully bizarre underwater dance party that emerged from Athens, Georgia during the summer of 1978. We'll trace how five friends with thrift-store aesthetics and zero musical training created an otherworldly sound that influenced everyone from John Lennon to RuPaul, all while "Grease" dominated theaters and "Shadow Dancing" topped the charts. Break out your beehive wigs — this party's just getting started.
