This upbeat tune was the B52's best-selling single in the UK and reached No.2 in the singles chart. Produced by Don Was, the
song's inspiration was a cabin around Athens, Georgia complete with tin
roof. The album Cosmic Thing (on which Love Shack featured as a track) went platinum in the UK and 4 x platinum in the U.S.
Featuring a more polished sound, Cosmic Thing was the band's fifth
studio album and was released as a comeback album following the death of
co-founder and guitarist Ricky Wilson (Cindy Wilson's brother) in 1986.
The band members are; Fred Schneider, Cindy Wilson, Kate Person and Keith Strickland.
