Today's posting is short but to the point. I have been on a B-52s listening binge recently, and no song of theirs floats my boat more than Give Me Back My Man. Cindy Wilson begins in her lower range, vibrato-less and yearning for the man that got away. By the time she gets to the chorus it is abundantly clear that there is not much that she will not do go retrieve her guy. The great video shows her barefoot in her little black party dress, eventually dancin' and fruggin' next to spastic Fred. And then on the last pass through the chorus she lets loose a furious set of pleas.
