Love Shack Lyrics


If you see a faded sign at the side of the road that says
Fifteen 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, it's as big as a whale (Love getaway)
And we're headin' on down to the love shack (Love getaway)
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about twenty (Love getaway)
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

Sign says, 'Stay away fools'
'Cause love rules at the lo-o-ove 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 nothing, '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 twenty
So come on and bring your jukebox money
The love shack is a little old place (little old place)
Where we can get together
Love shack, baby
(A love shack, baby)
(oh oh)
Love shack, baby, love shack (oh oh)
Love shack, baby, love shack (Love shack, baby, love)
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
You're WHAT?
Tin roof, rusted
Love shack!
Love shack, baby, love shack (yeah)
Love shack, baby, love shack (Love shack)
(Love baby that's where it's at, yeah)
(Love baby that's where it's at)
Love shack, baby, love shack (Love shack)
(Huggin' and a kissin')
Love shack, baby, love shack (Baby, love shack)
(Dancin' and a lovin' at the love shack)

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The B-52's are an American rock band formed 1976 in Athens, Georgia, United States. The band formed as Fred Schneider (vocals), Kate Pierson (vocals, organ), Cindy Wilson (vocals, guitar), Ricky Wilson (guitar) and Keith Strickland (drums). After Ricky Wilson died in 1985, Strickland replaced him as a guitarist. The band is perhaps best known for their 1978 single "Rock Lobster" and their 1989 pop smash "Love Shack".

The name comes from the bouffant wigs that are part of the band's distinctive look, worn by singers Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson. Along with Wilson and Pierson, fellow vocalist Fred Schneider, drummer (and later guitarist) Keith Strickland and guitarist Ricky Wilson (Cindy's older brother) formed the band after a drunken night at a Chinese restaurant.

Their sound is particularly marked by the vocals of Wilson and Pierson, with Kate singing in a slightly deeper voice, along with the generally monotone or spoken-word vocals of Schneider. Aside from their vocals, the band also had a unique New Wave sound that was a combination of dance and surf music, and the unusual guitar-string tunings utilized by Ricky Wilson. Although part of the new wave movement, their music was more experimental than most new wave, indulging in all manner of odd vocal and synthesizer effects. It created a quirky dance sound that became very popular.
