Lyrics
We were at the beach

Everybody had matching towels

Somebody went under a dock

And there they saw a rock



It wasn't a rock

It was a rock lobster



Rock lobster

Rock lobster



Rock lobster

Rock lobster



Motion in the ocean

His air hose broke

Lots of trouble

Lots of bubble



He was in a jam

He's in a giant clam



Rock, rock

Rock lobster

Down, down



Here comes a stringray

There goes a manta ray

In walked a jelly fish

There goes a dogfish



Chased by a catfish

In flew a sea robin

Watch out for that piranha

There goes a narwhal

Here comes a bikini whale



Rock lobster

Rock lobster

Rock lobster

Rock lobster

This vid is absolute PERFECTION! The insanity of the source matches the insanity of the song so well, it's as if they were meant to be vidded together. Your lyrical interpretation had me LOLing so much ("giant clam") and just everything you chose to do in this vid was honestly genius. I need this to play at Club Vivid so hard! This is totally a companion piece to Love Shack (previously mentioned) and basically solidifies that from now on if you're vidding a crazy/campy 70's/80's cultish source, it must be to a B-52's song!

IAN, NOW THAT I KNOW IT'S YOU, YOU HAVE TO PUT THIS IN CLUB VIVID! (And Love Shack!) YOU MUST, MUST, MUST!!!
