Not sure what the WHOLE song means (a wild beach party perhaps) but I am ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED that the "motion in the ocean" verse is a very graphic description of a guy whose rubber accidently bursts while he is having sex.
This song was one of three that could get everyone onto the dance floor every time when I was in college. The other two were "Whip It" (Devo) and "Turning Japanese" (The Vapors). As you can see, I was in college a long, long time ago!
the people in my dorm had VERY diverse musical tastes. but the two records everyone enjoyed were the B-52's first LP, and Speaking in Tongues by Talking Heads.

My friends from another dorm got annoyed with me for playing Joy Division (and VU's White Light White Heat) all the time. But the three of us were crazy about Brian Eno: especially Before and After Science, and Another Green World.
