Love Shack burns down

A cabin that most probably inspired the B-52's track Love Shack has burned down, with authorities investigating the cause of the blaze.

A cabin which most probably inspired the B-52's track 'Love Shack' has burned down. The band's Kate Pierson once lived in the house just outside Athens, Georgia, and word has it the band penned their other big hit, 'Rock Lobster', there. Authorities are investigating the cause of the blaze - arson has not yet been ruled out. Perhaps someone dropped a match after they got pissed off with Fred Schneider shouting 'I can't hear you' every time they banged at the door.
