The Story Behind: The B-52's - The B-52's, Ep 33

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. The B-52's embraced surf rock, corny sci-fi, and 1950s kitsch on their 1979 self-titled debut. The boys welcome a special guest and discuss expressionist singing styles, improvised lyrics, and the power of "uncool".
