Friday Night Videos

The B-52s have always been a trippy, good-time party band, but before guitarist Ricky Wilson died and they found mainstream success with their "Cosmic Thing" album, they seemed to take particular delight in crafting songs that were utter nonsense. "Song for a Future Generation" fits that mold, but its leavened with a healthy dose of satire as well. And the video is well-nigh inscrutable (not to the extent of their mondo-bizarre "Girl from Ipanema Goes to Greenland," but that's a much weaker song all around).
