B-52s
Strategic American bombers
The B-52s are an American rock band formed in 1976, known for their kitschy new wave style and quirky vocals on songs like "Rock Lobster" and "Love Shack." The name references the beehive hairdos worn by female members, which resemble the B-52 bomber's nose cone.
Also spelled B-52's.
