<P> The song was a comeback of sorts following the band's decline in popularity in the mid 1980s coupled with the death of their guitarist, Ricky Wilson, in 1985 . </P> <P> Produced by Don Was, the song's inspiration was "a cabin around Athens, Georgia", complete with tin roof, where the band conceived "Rock Lobster", a single from their first album; it is often said to have been located off "the Atlanta Highway", as the first verse implies . B - 52's singer Kate Pierson lived in the cabin in the 1970s, and the cabin existed until 2004, when it burned down . </P> <P> "Tin roof...rusted," wailed by lead singer Cindy Wilson, was originally an outtake added to the track, and is perhaps the song's most memorable line . Fred Schneider also provides some memorable lines, including his notable boast of having "a Chrysler as big as a whale" and "seats about twenty". It has come to mean many things to different listeners . </P> <P> The music video was directed by Adam Bernstein and shot at the home and studio of ceramic artists Philip Maberry and Scott Walker in Highland, New York . It is also the first time drag queen RuPaul had ever appeared in any type of media before his own turn as a singer and model only a few years later . </P>
