I'm pretty sure it's "Reckless driving".
And yes, since the song was written by a band where all the male members are gay, I'd say it's safe to conjecture that the song is indeed an extended metaphor for gay (anal) sex. The B's love their double entendres! But it's a great song at face value. Sad, wistful, and erotic all at once. It's about how attraction can make you lose your common sense, like an out of control car.
@chris10833 Nicely put. I've been a fan of the B-52s since the 80s, but I never heard thsi song till a few years ago, and yeah, it's one of their best. There's a deep, slow burning eroticism to it. Yeah, it's kind of sad, ultimately, knowing what happened.
