"Is That You Mo-Dean?" beams in from Good Stuff, the B-52's' sixth album, released on Reprise in 1992 without Cindy Wilson. The founding member had stepped away after an Earth Day show in Central Park in 1990 to raise children, and with their manager pushing for a quick follow-up to the smash Cosmic Thing, the writing credit here went to Kate Pierson, Fred Schneider and Keith Strickland. Pierson and Schneider sing it, and Strickland plays guitar and keyboards.
Don Was produced, and the guest list reads like a party invitation: Sara Lee on bass, Zachary Alford on drums, Lenny Castro on percussion, Pat Irwin and Jamie Muhoberac on keyboards, Stephen Kupka on baritone sax, Amy Shulman on harp, plus a chorus billed as the Mo-Dean Intergalactic choir.
