  • was that sean penns brother in the beginning?

  • oh Adam Ant is way 2 cool!!!

  • The Coolest Man in Two Shoes!

  • oh shit. is that Boy george ,bottom right at 1;15

  • maybe in parts of new york.Most definately in brittain. their seems to be a whole lot of effeminate men on the isle.

  • nah.

  • no, but that's him at the bottom at 0:28

  • When MTV was cool!! AHHHHHHH! The 80s

  • Back when they had no game shows,or commercials. Adam was the first video Dj.

  • One of his band mates looks like the actor Colm Meaney from Enterprise. And next to him its Huey Lewis. At 00:53.

  • another song used in a John Cuzak film. By the same name I think.

  • Admirer

  • WA WA HEY!!!

    Great memory flashbacks.

    THANX!!!

  • the first album was not commercial but it was disco and punk plus primal drum beats and surfr guitar...his solo lps should have been better than crap like george michael, madonna or michael jackson..

  • his first album was Dirk wears whitesox. Kings of the wild frontier ,, the album with surf guitar riffs and jungle beats was the second album

  • you're i can't grt into 'dirk" at all but 'xerox' and "cartrouble" are good...."manners and physique" with 'room at the top" was brillliant and one of the best of 1989-90

  • Ah classic song. This is the song that introduced me to Adam Ant.

    Thanks for posting.

  • 2:59 is priceless. :D

  • Phil Collins produced this didn't he?! Did he play the drums too?

  • Who thinks Marco is in that cow?

    Marco just cracked me up in this :D

    Actually the whole thing was pretty funny!

    Ahhh gotta love you Adam x

  • I think a baby would be confused. Should i drink cow's milk or womans milk or just take Adam's money and buy champagne.

  • Eh?

  • wacky but brilliant

  • I love this song.

    Adam Ant, your sexy x

  • Adam  - PLEASE REFORM THE ANTS AND TOUR!!!!!!!!!

  • Marco is pretty cool too and a very good musician !

  • HURRAY.. WHAT DEVINE SILLYNESS !YEAH THE COW THING WAS UMMM... ODD BUT DELIGHTFULLY ADAMESQUE

    MADNESS. i AM AN ADMIRER :0)

  • I remember when MTV first aired and they played this video. He is still a good singer.

  • I am an admirer of Adam Ant, I LOVE HIM

  • okay... the cow thing lost me. up til then i was fine.

  • hey this was the nazz i still love this song!

  • the director of the video escaped out the bathroom window with a suitcase full of pound notes and toilet paper stuck to his shoe as soon as filming stopped.

  • brilliant video really, madness would have been proud of this one!

  • i love the bit when he dances with that cow thing lol

  • is it me or is he just like the best dresser ever?

    such a good singer hes a great dresser and great looking too :)

    shame he went a bit weird though :(

  • have you seen him in stand and deliver?

    man, at the and, it's like i'm in a sauna...

    so hot

  • oh my god yeahhhh he's too fit lol

    i love the way he dresses and dances aswell

    and of course his music

    :)

  • I love his strange way of proforming

  • yeah me too he's really individual for all the right reasons!

  • Really is a genius. The horns in this song and those jungle beats are great. I saw him in concert a thousand years ago and it was really great.

    Just sayin

  • the guys a proper genius:) long live adam ant

  • This song is awesome. I really missed out by not being alive in the 80's.

    On a side note I want an Adam Ant cookie!

  • init lol i well wish i was alive in 80's to go to all his concerts when he was young, he's gone a bit mad though now :(. i was born in 1993 when was you?

  • I was born in '91

  • Listen to the creative use of the drums, the lyrics and appreciate that along with other artists Adam was an incredible influence on 80's music. Nice one mate.

  • I became a little embarassed to be a male fan of his at this point of his career-I mean the half shirt thing and all that kinda bugged me, Friend or Foe the album was cool nonetheless

  • 1.51 ehhhh aheh. They were ahead of their time, all the rapper now talk about friend or foe chit. X_-

  • LOL

  • that clown bee guy is a trip, at 2:15 holy shit

  • my bro in law was a pc in camden at the time and said the cat stabbing incident was pure made up pish...he did throw a couple o wobblys in a few pubs...but thats commonplace from most folk nowadays...never mind a huge star like adam ant...

  • 1:40...Red Hot Chili Peppers- Give it Away vid...wonder if they drew some inspiration from Adam?

  • You have a keen eye. That's quite possible. Frusciante was good friends with Matthew Asheman before he died. Asheman had been guitarist for Bow Wow Wow, and prior to that gig he was guitarist for Adam's band, when Adam was just getting started.

  • Thank you...I love the facts that you backed that up with. Very knowledgeable. I never knew about that connection.

  • Damn, I forgot how much this song rules.

  • Was this his best solo effort. Ye...I love it anyway. Sounds so alive. Just makes me wanna get up and jump around just like back in the day. Still play their greatest hits cd to death!!

  • another great adam ant tune but does anyone know why he stopped wearing the face paint once he went solo,i reckon he should have kept it going

  • I have always loved this song!!! It has such a moody, foreboding sound to it and then a very up chorus. I LOVE IT! That was very characteristic of his songs. GREAT!!!

  • It funny.

    If you look back at the videos and songs of the early/ mid eighties, you could cringe at what you are seeing.

    But Adam Ant's songs and videos only get cooler!

  • BTW I just want to let everyone know that adam ant is still completely cool/awesome even in hindsight. I didn't learn about AA until like, a year ago or something and I am obsessed now.

  • total legend

  • Like katy takes me back too. Adam Ant was cool, you had to be there to appreciate it kids. Stand and deliver still my favourite ant song

  • I heard my mom listening to Adam Ant, and decided to listen to him myself. I now enjoy Adam Ant, and wonder why he doesn't do anything anymore. I'm sure many of my friends would love Adam Ant

  • I think it's because, sadly, Adam isn't quite himself anymore. The last I heard was about five years ago, there was a story from England that he had started an altercation in a restaraunt, involving a pistol that he had on his person (illegal over there), although he did not shoot it. He eventually fled to the rear of the business and the police had to come pull him out of there. It was like he had just gone insane. =( He was a great entertainer and showman.

  • Where did you learn this? Doesn't every celebrity do something crazy, and a pistol is rather in character for the dandy highwayman....

  • It was worse than that. He rubbed his own faeces on the restaurant window. After the police released him he went homw and stabbed his cat to death with a pencil.

  • It was actually a pub in camden. He threw a car alternator through the window and threatened the patrons with a starting pistol. He's gone a bit loopy unfortunately.

    But, what geniuses AREN'T a bit loopy? It's what gives them their edge.

    Long live Adam Ant

  • Hes not loopy..he has bipolar disorder..its a disease like any other, he is not responsible for making himself bipolar, he IS responsible for taking his meds and his behaviour, if meds arent taken or alcohol is taken with meds, the behaviour is seen as as loopy or insanity, whatever people think when people do crazy things like that....and u r right, most geniuses are "loopy" for some reason or other...Einstein had ADHD

  • he wudnt do tht no one wud stab a cat 2 death with a oencil or anything else he likes animals anyway

  • Loved Adam & the Ants as a teen. Still do, takes me back.

  • shit, ive still got this on single and album and its still FANTASTIC love this song

  • where are the guys who write and perform music like this now....amazing

  • We need more artists like Adam Ant NOW!

  • WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!

  • Adam and the Ants at the Universal Ampitheater was the first concert I'd ever been to. 94% of the audience were dressed like AdamAnt, though I looked like I'd spent all my money at the Beverly Center: blue-gray grapphiti pants, mobius-loop top, white snakeskin shoes from Privilege. Oy Vey! I had that half-whacked off hairdo everyone had.

  • LOVE THE GUITAR AND DRUMS ALOT!!!!

  • I have this CD, my older sis used to have EVERY album but lost em in a house fire. She gave me her concert T, she seen him live, way back in 83 or so, INXS opened up, on their "listen like thieves" album. Adam Ant is the ONLY one that uses horns that i like!

  • topped nr 9 in UK in 1982

  • OMG, he was such a baby here! Aaahhh! XD

    I have to admit, though, I think I like long hair on him better.

  • WIsh I still have my vinyl LP of Prince Charming....what a costume that was! I loved it!

  • everyone loved it it was unbelivable

  • One of the most artistic and deeply beautiful creatures of all time! He was so ahead of the time and even some 20+ years later, I'm not sure many get The Ants completely as they were so brilliantly obscure. I absolutely love them!  Bless Stuart Goddard!! Long live The Ants!! :)

  • You are so right - sexiest man ever! Would let anything drop for him I suppose... :-) Even my son thinks ADAM is great and he is only 11 years old. Think my son's got a good sense for music - doesn't like the nowaday's trash! May Adam Ant live forever (most probably not - but his music will), bless all ANTFANs and Fanatics!

  • I've not heard this trak before. I had/have the KOTWF album & my mum has the PC album but this was obviously before. Gutted but glad as hearing this as a NEW (to me) song i actualy like it. Must show that everything they did was & still is brilliant.

  • My second fav Ant song! Killer guitar!

  • Yeah i think that to Marco can write some great riffs

  • oh...ima friend

  • Ha remember me and me sis used to argue about this tune,who owned it?...me mam n dad got it for me...not you lol..you had fascination by the Human League..get over it!

  • This is a quirky, upbeat, and especially uplifting song. I hope the man is doing well and that a new album will come around sometime. Long live Antmusic=:)

  • the good old days and no emos lol

  • omg you have no idea at my school thats all there is...im an ant(sorta pirate punk) and im a girl so its weird

  • That woman towards the end of the video with the muscle guy. Wasn't that Mel from DR WHO?

  • Yeah that is Bonnie Langford! Can't mistake that hair!

  • Thought so,she looks real good in that scene. I'm a WHO fan so I noticed her right off the bat,thanks for the info.

  • Yup, me too. I had Sophie Aldred and Sylvester McCoy on my bus this year, it was my dream come true!!! Nicest folks. I've love to meet Bonnie too. I liked how she'd call Ace "Donut" which was her off screen nick for Sophie as well.

  • Its not Bonnie Langford

  • NO IT MEANS TAKE HIM AS HE IS........ IF YOU DONT ADMIRE HIM IF YOU GET TO KNOW HIM....THEN GET AWAY.

    thats what it means hes not changing

  • Quite simply the greatest pop star ever!

  • This man communicates how all of us should feel: "take it up or leave it." This is one of my favorite songs, one that expresses my tolerance of humanity. while acknowledging the hurtful nature inherent to many.

  • n in english tht means?

  • I don't quite understand your question.

  • i dont understand wat u said so pls say it in children english

  • Sorry. I wasn't trying to be a jerk. I truly didn't get it until you restated the question.

    What I meant was that even though people can be cruel, we should all refuse to let them make us feel inferior. I love this song because of this message.

  • Adam was the ultimate "New Romantic". And this has to be his funniest video.

  • I like his dance steps and clothings :D

  • Fair point, bumpie3e.

    I only use the past tense because at this point he really was on the crest of a wave.

  • A hell of a showman, why wasn't he more popular?

  • poor him

    Is a superstar but had bipolar illness

    ..LoVE YOUR AUTOBIOGRAPHY ADAM.xx

  • This man was a genius!

  • whadyya mean WAS hes still alive

  • I love the lyrics. And,of course,Adam is simply irresistable...!

  • Oh those hips of his!

  • love adam and the ants woowa woowa

  • still wacky now

  • this bands music to this day is entertaining as fuck.

  • dancing ladies 2:17 in.

    chk chk chk

  • I want the adam ant ginger bread man,would have liked 2 c him doing proper tap dancing tho,I'm sure he could master it :-)

  • Love this song!

  • What a clown! But in the 1980´s he was to watch!

  • SWEEEET moves on 03:12-03:15

    i wish my moter skills were that good

  • corrr those wiggling hips of his get me all of a fluster ! not to mention his eyes and lips.....just lovely

  • same as you sciencedoggy he was so cool

  • I'm 37, and when I grow up I STILL want to be Adam Ant.

  • watch his face at 3:00-3:03 :(

  • This is probably the funniest Ant video ever! I love the face Adam makes when he goes over to the girl admiring the muscly guy. Adam directed this too. Very campy and fun! And it doesn't hurt that Adam is HOT as hell. He'll always be THE MAN to me!

  • I would without any doubt pick Adam before that meathead, that girl just hasn't got any taste at all, besides, that beef hasn't got any balls.

    I'm an admirer.

  • i aint gay but this cat can rock! his beat stand the tesst of time

  • That's a cracker! I'd forgotten how hot he was! OUCH!!

  • Come on let Dick Dale know you care. Us good old pirates have got to stick together.

  • There's a really good guy at the roots of ant music named Dick Dale, undoubtably you've heard of him, maybe. Anyway he just got out of the hospital after having a cancer removed. If you'd like you can go to his videos and wish him a good recovery. Let him know we're still keeping the spirit of the jump and jive alive. One of his best videos in my opinion is called Nitro.

  • back in 82 i was 12 years old,and Adam was my first big crush....and i never realy got over him,still hopeless in love.They just dont men like that anymore..and the music too..i miss it....

  • he was sooooo fit bak in them dayz to be fair xxx luv ya adam xxx

  • a great one what about young parisians are so french they sit on the metro i cant find it anywhere

  • I won the head off that pantomime cow on a radio phone-in competition in 1982. I kept it on my top of my wardrobe for years. My first girlfriend used to get me to wear it when we were making love. Then one night, many years later and during a particularly bad psychotic episode, I became convinced it was snoring. I was so terrified I set fire to it and threw it in the sea.

  • Ive made love to a few cows in my time but youve definatley got one over on me there..

  • Did anyone notice how he tap dances for the masses for like to seconds then goes right back to his ant ways..Gotta love these whacky ant videos. Nice to see he has young fans. Music like this is timeless fun!! There is no other music even remotely like it or artist. Bravo Adam and the Ants. Love how the band totally backs him up vocally and musically . LOVE the whole deal.

  • You really are a fan.......I think this is one of the best he ever did...and i totally agree with your comment...go adam..........and the ants........

  • Wow,

    Another one I have not seen in over 15 years! Thanksk so much!!

  • adam is awesome met him in the eighties..he's a fucking legend..

  • I meet Adam in Detroit on his strip tour he was so nice and pleasent and yes he didn't drink or smoke!

  • "Ant Music" is another great one.

  • Was this a hit? That Bass guitar is cool.

  • It was played on MTV occasionally in 1983 I remember, but nowadays you'll never hear it.

  • This was a very big hit in the UK in late 1982

    The video at the time was considered to be one the best around at that time

  • UK #9.

  • another 80's classic

  • people over here got into laughing at stuff like this about 5 years ago. used to be a sub-culture but everyone's doing it now. and i mean making fun of it as a hobby they would actually buy his albums to have a laugh

  • the ginger person kinda scares me.

    awesome song.

    he is well fit.

    (:

    and im only 14.

  • BECOME ADMIRERS OR MY ENEMYS!!!

  • Why isn't he more popular in America? Dammit!

  • SO WHAT ABOUT GOODY TWO SHOE AND VIVE LE ROCK THEY ARE BOTH AWESOME ALBUMS.

    HERE COMES THE GRUMP.

    PEACE YA'll

  • Couldn't agree less with ejinva. I loved it all-he didn't sell out-he constantly reinvented, refusing to be categorized.

  • My second best song of Adam Ant. His 1982 album...is a pure delight. My favorite song of that British singer was "Desparate, but not serious", in the same 1982 album. Nice 1983 hit...some nice girls in tha clip and a quite funny clip.

  • Hehe..I got my fiance addicted to this song.

  • i was 15 at is peak
