B-52's

Is anyone aware of a reliable fake book (or similar item) for the B-52's? I am specifically looking for Rock Lobster.

Thanks.

Do it by ear. Don't say you can't. You can. Yes, you can. Use the Force, Luke. Once you get the first riff down, the rest is cake. I'm guessing it's in B or C.

Good tune.

Surely this isn't why...

Honest, it's not! Although that was a pretty hilarious gag. I will give it a crack by ear on the piano.

Skip the piano. Learn it on the big horn.

Great "Family Guy" clip. Hadn't seen that before. Classic.

When the album first came out, my garage band worked out "Rock Lobster" from scratch on vinyl. You can too.

She came from planet Claire
I know she came from there
She drove a Plymouth Satellite
Faster than the speed of light...

NO SHE DIDN'T....

I wonder how much $$$ they received from that?

And you can only play it on a guitar that has the middle two strings missing and the others in an unconventional tuning.

Puh-lease. I have NO DOUBT you already arranged this for a Pep Band / Marching Band / Tuba Ensemble / Zither Ensemble somewhere. Besides, any of us who know you know that ANY tune you've heard is already a PDF file in your brain simply waiting to be downloaded.

Actually, this would be cool for a Pep Band.
