  • Pedro from PortugalMyla, if you don't like the B 52's, don't listen. And don't call silly to a song, when they introduce themselves to a future generation.They had that goal, and did it with a great song. Whammy is a very good album, and the only thing missing is more songs
    like 'Whammy' which have a incredible and unforgettable bass. It should be here. Rick really rocked.
  • Myla from San Diego, CaIt's a silly song that always puts me in a good mood!
