Lyrics:
If you see a faded sign at the side of the road that says
"15 miles to the
Love Shack"
Love Shack, yeah, yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway

Lookin' for the love getaway
Headed for the love getaway
I got me a car that's as big as a whale
And we're headin' on down to the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler that 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, baby)
Love Shack, baby, Love Shack
Love Shack, baby, 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 field
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 nothin'
'Cause it's hot as an oven
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

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, baby, that's where it's at)


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 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 it's at, yeah)
Love Shack, baby, Love Shack (Love, baby, that's where it's at)
Love Shack, baby, Love Shack
Huggin' and a-kissin'
Dancin' and a-lovin'
At the Love Shack

    The fact that you looked up this song and are scrolling through the comments makes you cooler than most people.

    We played this song at my auntie’s funeral since it was one of her favourite songs. She and my dad would always dance to it at weddings whenever they had the chance. It’s a strange song to play at a funeral, but I’ve never seen so many happy faces at a funeral. People started laughing as soon as they heard it because they knew it was her song. I think it just reminded everyone of how great my auntie was, she really was one of a kind, just like this song.

    I’m 53 years old and have been listening to the B-52’s since I was about 16 years old. I was today years old when I realized that RuPaul was in this video. 😮
  • @jacobreed47
    Whose still jamming to this endless hit from back in the day here in 2024!?!?
  • The B-52's absolutely deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Such an incredible band. Their music never goes out of style.
  • My son was "concieved" to this song! 22yo today and he's grown into an awesome young man! I love him so much!
  • @bo0tsy1
    I bought me car as big as a whale, and it's about to set sail. Lyrical genius. Excellent song writing too.
  • @NostalgiaMan
    My mom used to play this song in the car when I was a kid.
  • @randykent9594
    Fred's voice with Kate and Cindy's harmonies are pure joy.
  • @poorapueblo8405
    My sister (16) and I (17) went to see the B52s in 1979 at the Berklee School of Music and danced our hearts out
  • @bigbaldy502
    I luv B-52s their greatest hits stay in rotation on my playlist.👍🏾❤️
  • @squeet0
    This is what I imagine John Mulaney sounds like when he sings
  • @brenna4988
    To say I grew up to this song is an understatement. My mom has a video of me dancing to this as a baby, in her arms, and pumping my little fist. I kept dancing to it whenever it came on the radio as a toddler. I learned the lyrics by heart around ten years old. I saw them in concert with my mom when I was around 15 years old and had a blast. I played it at my wedding and my mom and I dominated the dance floor. Nowadays, I have to stop everything that I'm doing to dance, sing, and truly appreciate this song for what it's worth! Love this band!

    The girls’ voices are so seamless together. They’re so similar in quality, they sound like the same person singing different harmonies. I can’t even describe it but it’s so smooth.
  • @1bullsprig
    Those 2 girls' voices is what made this band amazing. The way they harmonized.
