After five years of not playing any music and focusing on raising his young son, John Lennon took a vacation to Bermuda in 1980. While there, he went to a club and found that a dj was spinning some weird new music that reminded him of his wife's avant-garde stylings. That song he heard was "Rock Lobster" by a new band called the "B-52's". That experienced helped to push Lennon back into recording music for, ultimately, one last time. For more info on the B-52's connection, check out this article.
Rock Lobster was a great track, but here is my favorite B-52's tune, from the same debut self-titled album. It was penned by the late Ricky Wilson.
