@4c00...before you say it, i know every1 is entitled to their opinion but don't put down a classic 80s tune, you're 2young 2have any good memories of the 80s tunes that's why, they were aswell as the 90s for many of us in either the end of our 30s or in our 40s, some of the best years of our lives, when the country hadn't gone down the pan like it has today....let's just prey that 1day soon it can have the people choices & attitude that it once had in the 80s, 90s...we can but hope!
this is so weird, Lester Square's been my art teacher for years, and I'm just starting to discover how sick his band were; so fucking weird seeing him in the video :')
absolute great fun, you have to admire the creativeness of Adam, I lived those years, and these just out there guys like this, Culture Club, Ten Pole Tudor, they were really amazing and so unapreciated.
A little advice to I-Tunes down-loaders: get the version of this off "The Very Best Of Adam and The Ants" album--don't download the Prince Charming version. The Very Best one is mixed like this--more bass, and you can really hear the war drums. In contrast, the Prince Charming version sounds like they recorded it off an AM radio (and they cost the same).
I LOVED the 80s. The rise in the use of synths, the way punk evolved to bring us so many 'new wave' bands in the early 80s, music videos as a marketing tool and how so many of them caused outrage from concerned citizens (the hanging scene here, the guns in Don't You Want Me, the girls in Duran Duran's 'Girls on Film' and lets not even begin to talk about the reaction Frankie Goes To Hollywood had on people). And it was all very glamourous too.
Thanks to this video affecting my pre pubescent hormones i grew up to be very attracted to and turned on by men dressed as highwaymen or pirates which still gets me hot and bothered even to this day.
anyone ever tries dressing up asw adam ant just for fun not hallowen or anything (not that thats bad) ..... sometimes i just like to dress up like this for fun. no strings attacted though, ya know what i mean?
@Cheesecow11 My apologies, you are only 16 so of course this is going to seem a little bit odd to you ;) It was a song from the 80's, one that i actually remember very well from back then which means i am getting too old :( But yes, it does seem like a scene from a fucked up 70's movie ;)
i remember going through all the records in the stores in ann arbor, mi and this was playing over and over, so i finally bought the single with the picture on the front!
ok i ave a serious thing 4 adam's and mat's my boyfriend is called adam and if u put a white strip across his face then he kinda looks like adam ant!!! :L
@SkiesOfMercury this song came out around 1983 or so. You're probably right. The AIDS epidemic was at least two years away from exploding. So I'm sure this guy banged a different girl every night back then.
bring back Dick Turpin for fuck sake we need him in this shit hole of a country,fuck it i will do the job,sorry i did mean robin hood my mistake as we already have plenty of Dick Turpin's lol
@vEOSBvRaiden Jack serves as a central protagonist in the films. He was brought to life by the actor Johnny Depp, who based his characterization on The Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards and cartoon character Pepé Le Pew.
@Mysterywhiteboy78 yes i know who johnny depp based his character on.. but there's a uncanny resemblance between the two characters..i think he would play a great older brother or another close relative of jack sparrow
@Rocketsmomma I was bit younger than that, i was six when he released this one. Guess who my first Halloween outfit was?, yeah, i rocked the hair braids Too! White tape across my nose as well!
I told my two children, this week that the Dick Turpin video on Horrible HIstories was a rip off of Stand and Deliver and they won't believe me or watch the Stand and Deliver video for proof.
I love Adam and the Ants and I do like Horrible Histories too though..
@MOJUL68 Stupid kids, they just don't want to think hh tv was stealing idears from music, but they did that with mj's Bad/ that was really funny. love hh tv and Mat <3 *dreamy sighs*
@theeteey Likes mean nothing. Saorise has a point, come here for the music and how great Adam and the Ants are, not how some cheap knock off version brings you here.
i think youll find that horrible histories is one of the only programmes kids will watch and will actually teach them something useful. But then again youve probably never even seen a horrible histories sketch so you wont know what im talking about
Always remember they cut the hanging scene from Top Of The Pops. lol
