Men Without Hats - Living in China

[danielf17]

Remmembers me DEVO a little bit.

[raydeen2k]

@danielf17 Except much much better.

[LedWilde]

But you're right, it's not "shit" as in "shitty music." Far from that.

[LedWilde]

Thanks for sending this! Awesome shit!

[sh9683]

@LedWilde this is not shit! and shit is never awesome! just so you know so if this is shit its not awesome but if its awesome its clearly not shit! make up your mind

[LedWilde]

@sh9683 Hey, I can use any labels I want to. If I use the term "Awesome shit!" You're just going to have to accept that shit. I use the word "shit" as a slang for "stuff." Not being literal! Alright? So knock that shit off and just let me enjoy this shit.

[sh9683]

@LedWilde definition of shit; stuff that comes through you know what!

[LedWilde]

@sh9683 If you want to be so literal about it, okay!

[NoRageImAPage]

This song just makes me want to get up and dance.

[KimWildeForever]

Love their stuff.

[danpiccinini]

this the Flip side of Extend play?



[117LiamCox]

wow, listened to this everyday for a week now I sing it in school, and now I have no friends

[pilozard]

@117LiamCox i sang this I got a Girlfriend..America's School society is weird.

[117LiamCox]

"They got ping pong, egg foo yung"

Men without hats have the best lyrics

[TheZeke1974]

I love it!!! Very catchy!

[pilozard]

[OperationAnime262]

Men without Hats are a seriously underrated band.I like their music it's catchy and shouts their style to me when ever I hear their songs.

[trailgoat]

I've listened to this song about 200 times in my lifetime. It's still as edgy and exciting now as that first time. A fantastic band that will, unfortunately, be known for The Safety Dance.

[mattocnr1]

just saw them live :)

[Xvalhalla1997]

this ban sucks metallica is way better

[BudofWoW]

@Xvalhalla1997 I honestly don't see how you could compare the two..

[Standoman6546]

@BudofWoW obvious troll is obvious?

[Troyman021]

Love this song! Shame that it was left off of the original US release, could've been a potential hit single there.

[raydeen2k]

Chairman Mao died today, 9/7/1976. I know because my Ubuntu terminal calendar app told me so.

[qwertypoopbath]

@raydeen2k lolwut

[dodgyhingst]

If the internet had happened in 1983......MWH's would have been massive HUGE.

Most 80's bands were 20 years ahead of their time.

[cornolio1]

opa!

[rawkus420]

Saw them at Dundas square a month back in Toronto. Free outdoor show....it was epic...concert of the summer thus far! ppl were going nuts from start to finish!

[tekubus]

This really is an amazing pre hardcore/ pre techno song. This is so cool on so many levels. It feels like the backbone of bad brains and beasties. I think their influence is greater than what will ever be recognized.

FEATURED VIDEO:

China is running out of Vagina.

(cough)

[dylan9241]

I was in my house dancing to this, very loud too, my next door neihbor was looking at me through his window into my window staring at me, then he came over to tell me it was to loud. I said "Respect Men Without Hats man!". I always feel like I am Living In China

[JoshIsNumber3]

@dylan9241 derp

Oooh, "The Safety Dance" wasn't three chords but more complex. It would make a great Baroque harpsichord tune if it were transposed. Let's see, C, Bb, F, F, Bb, C, G...F, Bb, Eb, Ab...C, G, D, A. Nope, you're wrong, dude! Anyway, brilliant Montrealers and the soundtrack of my student days, I could hope for none better.

[nevets4ever]

Don't even recall this being played on WLIR, the (only) radio station on the east coast of America that would play anything from MWH.

[daftchemicals]

@nevets4ever WOW... WLIR...I remember them in Long Island. Weren't they also WDRE?

[nevets4ever]

@daftchemicals Hi daft - yes WLIR morphed into WDRE. Without them I'd be wondering in the desert. Both stations are now "revived" on the Web (look up live365.com) under Alternative. Cheers-Steve

[wildboy789789]

WHAA-HUT (doo doo dee doo doo doo dee doo) would cairman MAAHAO SAY... if he knew WHAT people thought of HIM todaaay?... so groovy lol

[KPizzle1000]

[ledzeppelinrules110]

i love thhis song. Men without hats are one of the great bands that never got the succes they deserved

[wildboy789789]

@ledzeppelinrules110 im glad they didnt become overly popular and mainstream... hes still preforms shows in canada, i feel like the people who dont know men without hats are missing out, but the fans wouldent want it any other way... i love ivan

[ItsRainingDonuts]

man these tracks are compressed like a bitch but it's a great playlist, thanks! great to hear those unreleased ones too, where did they come from??

[HypnoToad72]

@ItsRainingDonuts - perhaps iTunes? (I bought the album from them. (at 256mb/s rather than the usual 128, of course). If I find the CD I'll be buying it outright. Especially re: 80s new wave and the tones, compression artifacting is somewhat obvious... :( )

[ItsRainingDonuts]

@HypnoToad72 heyyy what do you know they're actually on iTunes! :) didn't think this 'Silver Collection' would be. It's only a partial album featuring just the unreleased stuff too, thanks for the heads up. As for the rest of the songs I own them all on vinyl anyway :P I just assumed these videos were the source of the compression problem.

[bucanerjoe]

@HypnoToad72 try amazon.com
