DON'T WANT TO BE READ, ACTUALLY! Being a pedant sorry.

sterdamnedMovie

[AmsterdamnedMovie]

@kieron63 HEY... if you weren't in a position to correct me for that, your education would be wasted... fair play to you.

[TheSpunkyKitty]

'They believed in sex and looking good' . . . Got that right!

(Good to see that there are so many other Ant fans out there).

[BANANAJUANITO]

Think someone slipped & pressed the "dislikes" by accident, must have been. Can't explain it otherwise...x

[charisfulone]

Love it!!! If only I had a man like that.

[SSSIXXXED]

MHMMM

[maisiegd08]

a fantastically eclectic mix of styles on this, my favourite Ants track, from the fantastic punk distorted Les Paul Junior of Marco to the Military style " hup hup" in the Chorus and almost country and western jaunt in the first and second verse.

Brilliant and way better than anything released in the last 10 years.

[BabyG18]

had to do a double take of 2:23...looks so much like johnny depp

[BabyG18]

seriously...if adams music is not brilliant I dont know what is!

I want his music to go back to this, and better! cant wait for the new album!

this song is brill!

[catcookie]

O.M.G....I used to play this song all the time. Drove my mom nuts!! XD

[myabsynthedream]

kickass song! and could he BE any hotter?!

[Darwinsmom]

Awesome collection of photos! Thanks so much for putting this together. Your choices were perfect enough that I find myself needing to bring my blood pressure down a little! Great job!

[adamismyprincecharmi]

This is probably the best grouping of Adam photos I've seen !! Love the early ones !! Adam says his hair used to be down his back when he first started, I've never seen a pick with his hair that long, has anyone ?? or have a copy ??

[bu66erman]

huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh loving it adam come back

[JateGal]

Yes, ma'am it does. And might I add the sound is nice and loud without being too hot and overdriving past clarity.

[vealshanker]

Marco! you are still the Raddest guitar player EVER!!!

[butunouwanna]

1:56 2:36 who looks like this and has such talent? who??? Love this song - playing again - somebody stop me!!

[vealshanker]

So...which side of the fence are you on?

[ardalsgirl]

I LOVE this song!! It's so cool and I'm so loving all these beautiful pictures, especially the one at 1:31. mmm he looks good!!! lol. :p

[vealshanker]

why hasn't anyone made a killer gangster movie with Adam Ant and Johnny Depp? you know it would be good.

[ZLUGGO]

Brilliant band.

[not2old4industrial]

God, I LOVE this band as much now as I did in the 80's! And I agree; this song deserved some youtube play. It's always been a favorite.

[ZLUGGO]

@not2old4industrial

So do I!

[usernameofnobody]

Magnificent guitar riff. I liked this when it came out but now I think that riff is awesome.

[ZLUGGO]

@usernameofnobody

Marco rules.

He used to play in a great punk band called Models.

[yorkieblade]

Takes me back to my youth, great song,! Prick up my Ears!

[tigerwoodsyall33]

I am 37 years old and I remember my first vid was the stray cats, bow wow wow and adam and the ants...it was the clearest time in music when it had no description and no limits.....the eurythmics ....boy george...what made adams sound so great from a musicians standpoint is that unless you have been involved in songwriting you must understand that these guys were just amazing...michael jackson is my favorite artist of all time...but adam is composed of the same electric..genius...unreal

[kjaks]

Which side of the fence you are on, as if you are straight or gay? That's what I read.

Thanks for the upload, one of my favourite Adam and the ants songs.

[akadak]

which side of the fence are you on - i've always thought that was about the music critics of the time

[create1971]

i think you are doing a bit of a trevor brooking and sitting on the fence and not either side you must like this music or else you would not have typed this in enjoy the show

[create1971]

off with his head hoist the jolly roger make him walk the plank

[ZLUGGO]

@kjaks

Adam is not gay, but he used to be very handsome.

[vealshanker]

Sure wish i knew how to reverse the letter "D" here. This band never got the recognition they deserved. This song sounds current. Timeless indeed. They displayed the highest level of musicianship via their arrangments, orchestration, timing, tempo, anf key changes. Hey kids! If your gonna copy anyone....copy ADAM & the ANTS~~

Long live THE ANT INVASION ! ! !

[cablebasher]

Prick up your ears....arse more like. In Troon.

[ranxid]

he who writes in blood don't want to be read........

[marcelbonzo1971]

I am lost for words.......

Thanks for posting MUSIC in its true form.........

It is a horrific thought though that Adam is suffering from manic depressions.......still he is doing ok......

Thank you ADAM ANT for the great music!

[J0HNwayneGACY]

This is fucking brilliant

[nirvana609]

This is such a original and awesome song that you have to admire the musicianship. Tip of the hat to these guys for creating music that is not carbon copy of top 40.

[marlymac]

Wow. All I can say is he really is a beautiful man. And he was very creative with his use of make-up. Thank you for such a lovely video!

[pghjeff]

The song has held up so well the test of time, but the photo's are fuckin' sterling!

[antmusic76]

fabulous song by a fabulous artist!!!

[therealsoulproduct]

One of the highlights of this great album! Adam Ant rules!

[govinder63]

Adam was a fricknin genius. Is was a case of the brightest start burning the shortest time. I think even he admits he changed things too quickly now. KofWF was the first album I loved.

[Dirlandas]

Kings Of The Wild Frontier is the best album - EVER.

And this track proves it.

[emt4242]

Fricking gorgeous he was/is and forever will be...xxxx

[fearlesssockpuppet]

Does anyone know where the pic at 1:04 is from? What concert?

[catblanket14uk]

i love the raucous energy in this song. i love all that shouting the ants do in the background in the outro too. if you didn't know who the band was, you'd say "who the hell sings that?". and run out and buy it the next day.

[bsidesbaby]

the beginning of this song drives my cats crazy something about the whistling. LOL! Anyhow great job and I love this song. I have to get some cds/mp3s I'm just playing all these vids over and over.

[aarthoor]

Great Adamant song! And I love these homemade videos you make for this old stuff. Much appreciated by me!

[pinkplum13]

1:17 looks like hes having a seizure

[fearlesssockpuppet]

At 2:15, is he wearing yellow crocs?

[josephgill]

Lol, No definitely not croc's, They were not around then,

What he's wearing are more like sling back clog type things in tan colour.

I remember that picture because it was an article in the observer sunday supplement magazine which my art teacher kindly gave me all those years ago, Where does the time go...sigh ;-)

[poohbean]

great job and great pics.

[Lollipop399]

Well done! Great photos. are you on AntRap?

[preciousbash]

Like woah..I have not heard this in f'ing forever. dude I am back heavy into the ANTS..Even better the 2nd time...Thsi video footage ios awesome. The only video I had was the Ants in Japan form 1981..I bought htat in 82 or 83..basically as soon as it hit the US. I bought it at the now defunct Tower reocrds att he corner of 4th St and Broadway.....My mom took me to buy it. I harassed her forever about it. I was waiting. Heard about it on WLIR a NY radio station that played that kind of music!

[amberlondon66]

interesting to see the more recent pics, cheers!havent heard this song since back in the day,then me records got lost,long story.....great song

[LizzyLeNoir]

After much thought over the years I realized that this is my FAVORITE Adam song

Thanks so much for posting!

[memphismadam]

My pleasure! I know what you mean. This song has to grow on you a little while, but then it hits you one day that it's brilliant and you wonder how you missed that to begin with.

[Sp1tf1r3p1l0t]

thanks alot this is a great song only wierd thing is adam's shoes at 2:15 very questionable colour lol great video!

[rongravy]

Very SHARP!

I like it mucho mucho. Make more, por favor.

[memphismadam]

Muchos gracias Gravy!

[kathryn110t]

dirk wear white stockings lol. i love u adam. all i want for xmas is adam wrapped up in a bow under my xmas tree. yummy

[kathryn110t]

02:24 what pic is that from cuz it looks recent. an dit also looks like a movie

[memphismadam]

I'm not sure but think it might be from when he guest starred on the American TV series "La Femme Nikita."

[kato9toes]

Yes, that is from "La Femme Nikita". You have a very good eye and great taste in men...LOL!!! Love the pics and the fact that you have the sadder moments as well as the highlights included. Adam is back and better than ever! Now if we could just get him back stateside...*sigh*

[memphismadam]

I'd settle for some new music. Maybe a X-Mas gift to the Ant fans?!
