My teacher in primary school showed me this 3 years ago and I have loved the song since then ^_^ I love Adam Ant his voice is very similar to the god David Bowie <3
My dad and auntie used to live next to this girl who used to go out with one of the Ants and they went to rehearse there back when they weren't known. It was so funny.
good video, great singer, but DUDE looks like a lady! I get the white stripe across his face (who doesn't wear that??), but what is with the pink lipstick?????
If I'm ever to be hung, I want the Tuskegee Airmen on the platform... dancing.
I love the drums. The rhythms and cadences.
Also, the tonality from the background singers. Someone commented on the "Da diddly. Quoi? Quoi?" and rightly so, but, the "Omm" chants add this whole other level of goodness. So dynamic. Swirling. I could listen to this over and over. So good.
@TheCleopatrathea All these "no it isn't" responses to what was essentially a joke comment. Yes, it is No, it isn't! Yes, it is! No, it isn't! Good heavens. People will argue about anything on YouTube!
@LimitedANlME Well, the comment was intended to be tongue in cheek. I like history, and I like comedy, and I prefer the comic, history-teaching spoof. :)
I'm seeing someone say No Doubts version is better. How is that even possible for someone to think a remake is better than the original?? Nothing beats The Ant!!
We used to dress up and perform this stuff in various clubs who could tolerate our antics.still know the lyrics and dances but the costumes got ripped off. Stand and Deliver!!
Y do SE block things wen they only get uploaded through another one anyway lol. Or is it, they they want that particular video of a certain song copyrighted under Advertisements also lol.
@chloeLUVSmj I think they BOTH are amazing!! To me HH is best because Mat is in it but to you you prefer this version best. It's just different opinions
@chloeLUVSmj So you're going to see him live then? Hope he doesn't disappoint! After all these years, i would be interested to know what he has in him to perform live, especially after all the problems he's had over the years. When is the show? You'll have to give a report of the show!
Я недавно узнал про Adam ant посмотрев фильм Jubilee Derek Jarman и нашел на Youtube, вот этот клип и другие песни. И я в восторге. Adam гениальный артист, - он очаровывает своей артистичной манерой исполнения, визуальной подачей, интересной музыкой. Я слушаю эту, а так же ряд других песен уже неделю, каждый день и мне не надоедает.
You mean you have to be a forty something to see him? I was about 10 when I first bought Stand & Deliver, makes 1 feel ancient, but I think his music is timeless & shouldn't matter what age you are. Sounded amazing then and still does now!
@chloeLUVSmj No it's not weird! It makes you the dandy highway man of modern music! It is reassuring to hear that 12 year olds take a disliking for todays drivell! Though the lord of antshire is very entertaining, there are many other thoroughly decent acts of the same genre. Top of my list of artists to take a look at would be Thomas Dolby, Lene Lovich (you'll love her!) "Bow Wow Wow" Gary Numan, Ultravox, etc etc
I believe the song was a rant about how people have no sense of fashion or style and ought to look at themselves in the mirror before going out. His role in the video is a highwayman, a criminal, suggesting that he is a rebel (confirmed by his criticism of the host at the dinner party which gets him almost hung), and that fact he mentions he can't find anything worth taking means he has no regard for the value of anything they find "good" to wear.
Im 15 and i thought people knew this song but appartnly no one does except me, my teacher and my mother.....She told me how everyone in her school went to school with thier hair like Adam :)
@0mgItsJess Congrats on being such an unbelievably amazing, special and unique teenager. You knowing this song at 15 must make you some kind of messiah figure. I wish I was you.
Is that enough validation for you? No one cares how old you are, it's not impressive.
