Five versions of one song. It is not the B-52's best song, but it is their biggest hit. Go figure. I love the Acappella version! (Kate starts singing in the wrong place - it's great.)

At most dances to which I have gone I have danced with someone when this song is playing. Only reason this CD has 4 stars instead of 5 is the original version of this song is not featured on this CD. However the Acapella version is neat and the other mixes are neat as well.

"Love Shack" was just about my favorite song from 1989. All five remixes here are really great. I especially like the 12" Mix, which used samples from the Temptations "Ain't Too Proud To Beg". The A Cappella mix is a lot of fun, too. "Channel Z" is the other song here. It's good, but not as good as "Love Shack". This just might be the best CD single ever.

Occasionally you need 8 minutes of Love Shack, and this CD provides it. And the 'A Cappella' version gives you hints of how this went down in the studio. "Channel Z" is workout for your lungs. Some experimental lead-ins, and underpinnings, and most are successful.

Well, just a minute Mom; yes I'll have mac and cheese... Well I kind of liked this thing (no not really?) but the swingingest part is the blend in the women's voices... without it this would just be another, well you know?

I would just like to say that this women sings really flat. Thank you, and goodnight.
