ong information

The song is an upbeat, folk influenced, thoughtful song - unusual from the B-52's. Featuring Kate Pierson in top form on lead vocals, "Revolution Earth" remains a fan favourite despite the fact that it is from an album featuring only three of the original five members of the band ("Good Stuff"). With founding member Cindy Wilson absent from the recording, Pierson sings in harmony with herself - multi-tracking different vocal lines. Fred Schneider sings a brief backing vocal.

As with many of the tracks from the "Good Stuff" album, "Revolution Earth" has a long and resounding intro and outro. Many fans feel this lengthening of the tracks was unnecessary and hindered the album's popularity since the band's earlier songs always had a definite beginning and ending.

"Revolution Earth" was regularly featured in the B-52's live shows from 1992 up to 2001 or 2002. When Cindy Wilson rejoined the band in 1994, she sang backing vocals when the song was performed live. Latter live performances were couched in a faster rhythm and featured Sara Lee (then bass player for the band) on backing vocals, along with Wilson.

"Revolution Earth" is one of many songs with lyrics written by band friend Robert Waldrop.
