New B-52s Video - "Funplex"
We first heard "Funplex" in its Fred Schneider-skimpy iTunes sample. Luckily, in the video for the track, we get to see our favorite B-52 adeptly driving around on a Segway (biggie drink in tote), harassing the gals in a food court, bashing hippies, and otherwise doing his "Faster Pussycat" thing amongst various chain-store shoppers. We'll go on record as saying "Hot Corner"'s the better song ("tragically hot, show what you got!"), but "Funplex" gives the party-ready Athenians an excuse to go to the mall.
Maybe not as down-home cozy as a "Love Shack," but the graininess of MySpace video does allow them to look like they haven't aged since Cosmic Thing.
Funplex is out on Astralwerks.

No Sara Lee on bass? Heartbreaking!
And isn't it weird that the last time we paid attention to a B-52s video, it featured a not-yet-famous RuPaul?

Sorry, this is utter shit. Embarrassing. An, umm, no, they do in fact look like they've aged, rather like creepy grandparents.

Aren't these guys dead yet?

Dear B-52s,

Man, they are still great. That is the kind of fun pop music that people should be paying attention to, not that overrated Robyn garbage.
