The B-52s/YMMV
- Breakaway Pop Hit: "Love Shack".
- "Rock Lobster" deserves a mention as well, but it didn't get nearly as much airplay.
- Ear Worm: Their entire discography is this. No exceptions.
- Epic Riff: "Rock Lobster", "Private Idaho", "Hallucinating Pluto", "Pump", and "Lava" are the best examples.
- Epileptic Trees: There are a ton circulating around the Throw It In line "You're what?!/Tin roof...rusted" from "Love Shack." The prevailing theory (as pointed out by Pop Up Video) is that it's some obscure slang for "pregnant".
- Harsher in Hindsight: The shack that inspired the song "Love Shack" burned down in 2000.
- Periphery Demographic: Kate once said that their songs were popular with toddlers.
