Prompt: "A song from your birth year"
Selected by Maeve
"Love Shack"
The B-52s
Cosmic Thing, 1989
1989 is a faaaascinating year for music. But what's even more fascinating is that "Love Shack" is from that year and not the '60s, which is what I'd always assumed. No rhyme or reason, but it just feels fun, silly and dated. You know what "Love Shack" is? A perfect karaoke song: everyone knows it, you get to do silly little voices, it's easily danceable, and you can really command the stage.
