The B-52s perform “Rock Lobster” shortly before the release of their first album. Fred Schneider is a champion. Fred Schneider is an icon for what I find great about America and probably the whole world. He manages to be the weirdest fucking guy ever without seeming to try at all.

Do yourself a favor and momentarily consider this song out of context while also considering that it’s one of the most recognizable rock and roll songs of all time.
