    "comment": "Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson's fish noises on this song are an homage to Yoko Ono, whose work is filled with these kind of screams and blurts. Yoko performed these parts when she joined the band at their 25th Anniversary concert at Irving Plaza in New York City on February 4, 2002.  The Yoko Ono influence on this song was clear to John Lennon, who heard it playing in a Bermuda disco in 1979. It reminded him of Yoko's music so much that it inspired him to return to the recording studio after a five-year retirement, resulting in the 1980 album \"Double Fantasy,\" Lennon's last before his death.  See the B-52's singing \"Rock Lobster\" live in 1980: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VCCiY17hKw",
