The jerky, angular Funk was danceable. It's all great fun. Songs as "Planet Claire", "Dance This Mess Around", and "Rock Lobster" are great songs. These songs illustrated that The B-52's adoration of camp culture wasn't simply affectation, it was a world view capable of turning out brilliant Pop singles and, in turn, influencing mainstream Pop culture.
