Bouncing Off the Satellites Lyrics

Summer of Love
(Ricky Wilson/Keith Strickland/Cindy Wilson/Kate Pierson)

Summer of love
Summer of love

I've been wiating for the man
Just buzzin' around
Downtown
Waiting for that very special
Comes in to see what I got
Orange popsicles and lemonade

CHORUS
It's the summer of love, love, love
I'm in love with love, love, love
For everyone transcends here
I'm thinking of you boy
Love energy is giving us a shove
Making this the summer of love
I said, "I see no clouds ahead."

Summer of love
Summer of love

I'm standing in the rain
Just feeling the nitty-gritty of the
Whole thing
Everything is very speical
Look in and see what I got
Orange popsicles and lemonade

CHORUS

It's the summer of love, love, love
I'm in love with love, love, love
For everyone

Girl from Ipanema Goes to Greenland
(Ricky Wilson/Keith Strickland/Cindy Wilson)

CHORUS
Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland
Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland

Witch doctors are screaming
Nymphs are dreaming
This girl's lost someone
Who is that someone
She's leaving

CHORUS

Hot latitudes, cool attitudes
She's leaving
Moon in her mirror
Chasing northern lights
She goes, ahhh

Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland

Remember, wherever you go
There you are

CHORUS

Housework
(Kate Pierson/Tim Rollins)

I am don' my housework
Got no time to fool 'round
I am doin' my housework
Cleanin' up and I'm gettin' down

It'll be so clean
You can eat off the floor
You can eat off the wall
Or anywhere at all
'Cause I'll make this place
A party pad for two
ANd I'm not stoppin' till I do

I'm so tired of this vacuum
Need a man to help soon
Don't need a man to make a move on me
I need a man to move in with me

Don't need a man to treat me mean
I need a man to help me clean

Someone who's heaven sent
Someone to help pay rent
SOmeone to share dreams and wishes
Someone to help me do the dishes

Housework
Housework
Housework

Detour Thru Your Mind
(The B-52's)


Your brain is an ever-changing kaleidoscope of moods and colors
We walk to the park, but it's melting in the dark
All of a sudden your mood changes and your face looks like a cake
Left out in the rain
Is your name MacArthur Parker?
Or is it Reba?

CHORUS
Detour through your mind, Supersaver to your mind

We seem to float by yesterday's child
The new you, the land time forgot and a horse with no name
As we go further into the gloom we chance upon a large orange room
A key pops out of your nose, we open the door
And all of a sudden we realize that we are no more

from ear to ear, from the here and now
I hear another galaxy spinning around
Who am I? Where am I going? How much will it cost?

A flash of blinding light and we're in an elegantly appointed doctor's office
It seems that doctor Aron Butterfly wants to dip us in plaster
And use us for bookends
We say to the doctor, "No, please, no!"
And then we get the doctor's bill, what a shock!
$16,000! and all he wanted to do was dip us in plaster!

CHORUS

Who am I? Where have I been? Where am I going? Do I need any luggage?

I need to leave my past behind
I need to leave my behind in the past

Wig
(The B-52's)

What's that on your head?
A wig
Wig, wig, wig

Sally's gotta wig
Ricky's gotta wig
Baby's gotta wig
Kate's gotta wig
Fred's gotta cheap toupee
Keith's gotta big bouffant on
We all got wigs, so let's go!

CHORUS
On the neon, neon side of town
On the neon, neon side of town

Julia's gotta wig
Phyllis has a wig
Cindy's gotta wig
J.T.'s gotta wig
Carols' fall fell
Bubba's gotta big bouffant on
We all got wigs, so...let's go!

CHORUS

On the neon, neon side of town
On the neon, neon side of town
What's that on your head?
A wig
Wig, wig, wig
Wig's on fire!'s on fire!'s on...fire!
It's 2525 and we've got the most wigs alive!

Wig's on fire!'s on fire! Take it higher!
It's 2525 and we've got the hottest do's alive!

Theme for a Nude Beach
(The B-52's)

Bop bop bop boodha bah da da
Bop bop ba da bah da
Bop bop bop boodha bah da da
Bop bop bah da bah da

CHORUS
There is a sand bar in your mind
Sand bar in the bay
Sand bar in your mind
Sand bar in the bay

There's a beach
Oh, I hope it's not out of reach
It's very beautiful
Come, my little peach

Together we'll go down to nude beach
Together we'll stroll on the sand
Where the air and the land meet forever
The sea, the land
A land of tan

We know a place where we are free
We throw our suits into the sea

CHORUS

Bop bop bop boodha bah da da
Bop bop bah da bah da
Bop bop bop boodha bah da da
Bop bop bah da bah da

Please take my hand, you are a woman
I am a man

This place is so remote, everything is revealed
It's so mysterious
Here I must stay forever

Together we'll go down to nude beach
Together we'll stroll on the sand
We'll stroll on the sand
We'll stroll on the sand together
Where the air and the land meet forever
The sea, the and
A land of tan

CHORUS

Ain't It a Shame
(Cindy Wilson/Ricky Wilson/Keith Strickland)

Flying saucers could land
ANd it wouldn't make much difference to my man
I could walk aboard and thank the Lord
And leave this damn town in seconds flat
Check my bags and never come back

CHORUS
Oh, our love is
Like a fuse that's burned out
Oh, our love is
Like a fuse that's burned out

Oh, I've been unkind
Not like you
Ain't I ashamed
Being misused

CHORUS

I liked your Chevy Duster
I liked your brand new trailer
I liked your color TV
But you looked at that color TV
More than me
More than me

CHORUS

Juicy Jungle
(Fred Schneider/John Cote)

Millions of trees
Don't chop them down
See them growing for miles around
I like the rainclouds
I like the heat
Don't want parched earth burning my feet
I like the jungle
I like its style
Keep it growing, keep it wild
Let it grow for miles and miles and miles

All the creatures big and small
I don't go hunting 'cause I like them all
In the jungle, in the jungle
Juicy jungle's gonna disappear
Juicy jungle's gonna disappear
You've got an axe to grind? Don't grind it here
'Cause juicy jungle's getting smaller year after year

Vines and plants in the wild
Let them grow for miles and miles in every direction
Al lthe creatures big and small
I don't need a gun 'cause I like them all
Juicy jungle's gonna disappear
Juicy jungle's gonna disappear
You've got an axe to grind? Don't grind it here
'Cause juicy jungle's getting smaller year after year

I may never see it but I don't care
As long as I know that it's gonna grow
As long as I know that it's still there

I like the jungle
I like it wild
Let it grow in every direction for miles and miles
In every direction for miles and miles
Juicy jungle's gonna disappear
Juicy jungle's gonna disappear
You've got an axe to grind, don't grind it here
'Cause juicy jungle's getting smaller year after year
Juicy jungle's gonna disappear, leave it alone
Leave it alone
Keep it wild

Communicate
(The B-52's)

Let loose
Before it causes problems
Let loose
Before it tears you apart
Let loose
Let loose

You gotta reach out-reach out and touch someone
You gotta reach out-reach out and touch someone

Boy (oh girl) you better communicate
Before it's too late
You better start talking
You better talk
Let loose
Before it causes problems
Let loose
Before it tears you apart

Don't bottle it up
Don't bottle it up
Like a bottle of pop
A bottle of 7-Up
You better let it

Talk from your heart and not just your brain
Talk from your heart and not just your brain

C-O-M-M-U-N-I-C-A-T-E
(Your brain that is)
C-O-M-M-U-N-I-C-A-T-E

Talk from your heart and not just your brain
Talk from your heart and not just your brain
C-O-M-M-U-N-I-C-A-T-E
(Your brain that is)
C-O-M-M-U-N-I-C-A-T-E

Channel 17-ho
Communicate-ho
Communicate-ho
Baby, baby bounce it off your satellite-yeah

She Brakes for Rainbows
(Ricky Wilson/Keith Strickland)

Here comes Brenda
Brenda Holiday
Through she hasn't that much to say

CHORUS
She knows where the rain goes
She brakes
She brakes for rainbows

Fly Brenda
Fly Brenda

Window in the weather
Flowers in her hair
Footprints on the ceiling
How did they get there

CHORUS
