1981 was the transition from disco to something radically new and wildly diverse. We are due for another music Renaissance. Popular music has become nothing more than a thumping beat and forgettable cookie cutter lyrics. The music has lost its taste, time to try another flavor. Predicting around 2015 we should see young, creative people turn their backs on the music industry and creating something brand new.
@llbuono I do too, but don't try that at home. Only certain ppl can pull off that look, and only on stage. I suggest u not walk down the street with that on lol..
I never stopped listening to the Ants, In fact this afternoon I was listening to the Dirk Wears White Socks album on my Ipod while taking a long walk.
I saw them in 1983...INXS opened for them and got boo'd off the stage. We thought we were so cool doing our 80's snap dance in the aisle. Ohhh good times...
Can't agree more - Stuart be awesome. But, lest we forget the driving force behind the band - Marco Pirroni (ain't a looker, but, damn, a great musician none the less).
Must have listened to this song at least 800 times probably more over the years and every freaking time it gets me up and hoping around like mad. THANK YOU ADAM AND YOU BAND OF TOO TOO FABULOUS ANTS! Just makes me smile!! IMPOSSIBLE TO SIT DOWN AND GIVETHIS A LISTEN. FEEL THAT WAY ABOUT ALMOST ALL OF THE ANT MUSIC!! HURRAY!!
black flag is great and so is this. thats black flag being rather arrogant, sorry. this is funny and rather original. just because it's not punk doesn't make it bad.
totally.. what is with people only listening to ONE type of music and then staying with that for their whole life... like my god there is so much more out there, and i'm glad i found adam and the ants after watching doomsday.. dog eat dog and this song kick ass
brilliant. that warrior ant logo and the skull with the highwayman's hat was all over my school jotters. then that git of a geography teacher condemned me in front of the whole class. so i kept doing it.
I just watched the song "Ant Rap" and that was utter crap. This has got to be Adam Ants best song, and is definatley in my top 10 favourite songs. If they only made songs like this today.
This was one of my most treasured videos. Unfortunately I lost it when I lost the VHS that contained it. Thanks to you, I have it again. Thegirl in the turquoise blouse was my impossible loe for a many long time... loking at her again made me feel glad and sad at the same time. I wonder what ever happened to her.
Holy crap, its so good to see this. I played this album to death in the 1980's. What a crush I had on Adam Ant. I still remember him being interviewed on Tom Snyder's late night show...I was obsessed, I taped it on an audio tape! (did not yet have the $ for a VCR) HAHAHA! What fun.
My sister LOVED these guys and we played their music all the time. She even did a lip synch to one of their songs for a h.s. show and she was Adam. I was a senior then and those were some awesome times! I miss it.
