This was indicative to me that Adam Ant was able to write charming and entertaining harmonies as well as his more mainstream hits, which are as fresh now as ever.
this is my favourite piece of his work by a large margin.
@yorkie6687 not as mad as my mum wanting to call my brother axl after the guns n roses singer, my sister angel mary after two jimi hendrix songs, and me tiger lily after the indian princess in peter pan :S
In '81 I loved Prince Charming and Kings of the Wild Frontier, and went back to check out the earlier stuff. At that time I didn't think it was so great. Same with Deutscher Girls. Same with Plastic Surgery. I even got a serious lecture from my dad when I bought Dirk Wears White Sox and it had "piss" and "knob" in the lyrics. The 8-year old me was confused by those early Ant songs. But they sound better than the Swap Shop that had me leaping around the front room all though the year '81.
Nice crackling.
