Le succès pose aussi quelques soucis… parce qu’il est très difficile de faire des tournées. Déjà que je ne suis pas du tout du genre à vouloir partir, faire dix-huit mois de tournée, c’est de la torture.

I will always put Fred Schneider and The Superion’s “Fruitcake” (https://youtu.be/r-wQNwgyEuM?si=wO647nLTdXppGjjk) on my #RetroView Holiday Dance Party Playlists. It’s a Holiday institution, dammit!

Yes, this Fred Schneider and The Superion’s song “Fruitcake” (https://youtu.be/r-wQNwgyEuM?si=H-yOTODu1M7DRhk9) by has been on every incarnation of #RetroView’s annual Holiday Dance Party. No, I don’t care. It’s a great party song.

"Roam" is a song by American #newWave band #theB52s released as the fourth single from their fifth studio album, #CosmicThing (1989). The vocals are sung by #KatePierson and #CindyWilson, making it the only vocal track on the album without any vocal involvement from #FredSchneider. It is also the only track from the album in which the B-52's worked with a co-writer, Robert Waldrop, who penned the lyrics. Released as a single in 1989.

It's a #b52s sort of idle Saturday snowy morning.
Needless to say, best enjoyed when played LOUDLY.

Also, I wish #fredschneider were my neighbor.
