[WENWIL32]

[ErrolWhitedawg]

The original Jack Sparrow :)

[takeitinmind]

Her sons hot :') and she looks young for her age now! =D

[Bayntonette1]

whats with the men, with ethe mice for heads? and the glowing red eyes! love this song, Adam and the Ants are my life. gonna have this tune stuck in my head for teh rest of the day now! not that im borthered.

[Darwinsmom]

@WestGreenNutJob I saw on another website that the woman who appears with Adam in this video is Karen Landau, his girlfriend at the time. I tried to find out for sure bu cannot confirm it.

[DuMbBlOnDeZ2]

i love him so much hes so cute he has styles man

[syderwarp]

I always luv the videos mice, but this girlie is FREAKN hot, and the outfit too!! =)

[Zippymt]

So far ahead of their time and still unique 30 years later.

[kingscliffeman]

She is some fit bitch, I wonder where her life turned out. ?

[bloodypedant]

lyrics that make you jump around the house like a loon! this song is pure genius

[mcgeo100]

I bought this song on vinyl when i was 11 years old..the vinyl got scratched I played it so damn much..Adam was gorgeous back then! xx

[WestGreenNutJob]

Great song and vid.

BTW who's the hand... she's gorgeous.

[Katmarie100]

@WestGreenNutJob Don't really get the hand reference...but if you're refering to the women in the video then I'm reasonably sure that looks like opera singer Jennifer Rush, I think she may have dated Adam for a while though she later went out with Musical Writer Andrew Lloyd Webber.

[photodharma]

I'd hardly call this "punk", but, definitely cool, anyway.

Punk would be Ramones, Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedies, etc.

This is more like British Alt Pop

[muttilo]

Adam's got so many styles MAN!! He could switch up on the pop , and so much of what is called "pop " So badly pales in comparison to me . I didn't appreciate him enough back in the day . I hope his health improves and comes back !

[mumbaijunkie44]

lol I love the mouse orchestra at 1:57!

[smotankozvon]

MTV now is a bunch of shiite. What losers. When MTV started it was great, then it got polluted with the rap crap.

[missinglink51]

PURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

[neszkakometa]

very talented boy!! great song!

[ardalsgirl]

I love Adam Ant!!!! I like the way he looks at 2:17-2:23 he looks hot lol. :p

[rredhawk]

The woman reminds me of Louise English from the Benny Hill show.

[gonk2009]

i have just finished his biography wot a great read about a great man and a great band,if i had to sum up the 80s ..ADAM ANT...says it all...

[sandylanc]

Wow he's still gorgeous even after all these years!!!!

[t4ldu]

she is gorgeous

[huskerdeux]

Back in the days when people knew how to have fun and not take life so seriously...and MTV used to be a music video channel. Bring back the '80's.

[blocksol]

I second that !

[Arrow69hunter]

@huskerdeux I agree,bring back the 80's and to hell with so called MTV today it used to be great to get home and watch music videos. BTW Husker Du ROCKS!

[americangalbasseyfan]

He was so original, great fun.

[noangelbeautyqueen]

always loved adam ant but i blame him for my boot fetish lol :D

[Shindai]

You mean thank him xD Wanted to look that good for a long time lol

[americangalbasseyfan]

One of my all-time Adam Ant wonder hits! Great!

[capebee]

He's sexy AND a good dancer!

[doubletaken]

God he is so beautiful. I love him.

[shazandbono]

I WAS MISS ADAM ANT

[buddyholly1958]

could those two people get any sexier?

LONG LIVE THE ANT

[tiffpietiff]

0:22

That little movement he makes...orgasmatastic.

[the40yearoldpostman]

Puss in boots indeed !!!

[9496tull]

this is the best adam ant album. alot of great stuff on it. 80's rock

[bionicbigfoot]

He's like a combo of Bowie & Prince...not quite as glam-pretty or talented as David, but ahead of his Royal Purpleness in vintage feax-military uniform vogue. And oh yes...I'm slightly inebriated right now.

[LisaKoffler7]

Are you kidding? NO ONE compares to Adam Ant!

[svrack]

I wish I could marry Adam ant! he seems liek he's so much fun, and he's fucking gorgeous!

[LisaKoffler7]

svrack, Adam Ant's twice divorced and has an "Ant Daughter".

[buddyholly1958]

sorry i no this comment is 2 months old but ive never heard anyone say 'Ant Daughter' fantastic

[LisaKoffler7]

Adam Ant's mouse costume was funny, and I've never heard of a human king being fed cheese!

[hippyhi5]

Omg world of LOLs, I love Adam and the Ants, and is that Kate Bush? Or is it a very good Kate Bush lookielikie?

[darkgardenia]

OMG!!!! I was just thinking the same thing and was about to comment on how the chick looks like a young Kate Bush!!!!

[MsGeeDub]

Isn't it the woman from MArried With Children?  Peggy BUndy?

[Katmarie100]

I was about to post the question was it Kate Bush - until I read down and saw the other comment! Ha Ha. She does look very much Kate Bush though doesn't she!

[MexicanHumanoid]

I'm a huge Antfan, but i really wish I could go back and unsee this video.

[boydegg]

I want a mouse gang helmet!

[adamismyprincecharmi]

There was actually one on Ebay a few months ago !!

[ICantSingSoIDance13]

[TWENTIETHCENTURYBABY]

Agreed 100% he makes me go hot ;-)

[ChaufMT]

One of my all-time favourites. ANd with that kind of Cat, I would llike to be a mouse, haha

[ICantSingSoIDance13]

i wish we could do this dance at like parties and school dances, that would be great

[TWENTIETHCENTURYBABY]

3:11 I've died and gone to heaven. My teen idol.

[bowieaewsome1029]

love him and his outfits

[LisaKoffler7]

The outfit he's wearing is another "Strip" outfit!

[TrixieStardust]

omg I am sitting here with the biggest smile on my face. I have loved Adam Ant since I was 7 years old. he is truly my first love. I haven't seen this video for a while since I have AITFZ on VHS and no VCR.

[preciousbash]

YOU ARE CORRECT IT IS VIVIANNE WESTWOOD. i HAVE A FEW PAIRS OF SHOES BY HER AND A GREAT DRESS.

GOOD EYE!!! sHE MADE THAT PURPLE STRIPED SHIRT HE WORE IN THE VIDEO FOR TABLE TALK! ANT TRIVIA FOR 10 POINTS PLEASE! :0)

[skyprop]

It should be noted here that Phil Collins Produced and played the drums on this tune as evidenced by Phil's tom-tom runs on this song!

[skyprop]

(In the air tonight tom runs)

[skyprop]

As Well As the liner notes of this song state.

[Adamsbabe69]

Viviann Westwood

[Mieszkoy]

And can't you see a delicate alusion to Monthy Python's, I do not remember the title of the sketch, anyway with John Cleese, it was something about compulsory imitating mice (squeeking, cheese eating etc...), here Adam Ant resembles Cleese a little bit, and what happens with the King at the end is almost a literal citation from the Monthy Python's...

[Adamsbabe69]

Fuck off

[cobain274eva]

how old is he in this vid

n did he go out wiv the woman in this vid

[Adamsbabe69]

Not sure how old he is but no he did not go out with her she was and is a great friend of his, and has her own clothing label cos it's Vivean Weatwood

[cobain274eva]

ok thnx

[missoctober77]

In the Antbook that is part of the Antbox, it does say that she was his girlfriend at the time. Her name escapes me right now.

She reminds me of Kate Bush in this video.

[cobain274eva]

ive got tht so ill read it

thnx

[jammycaketin]

The girl in the video is a dancer called Karen Landau. She was his girlfriend at the time (according to the Antbook and Adam's autobiography). Hope that helps!

[cobain274eva]

yea it helps thnx

were does it say it in the autobiography cause i dont have the antbook n do u know were i can get it from

[jammycaketin]

He mentions her in the autobiography from page 199 onwards (paperback version) and specifically talks about her appearing alongside him in the video on page 225, after he'd tried to get various other women to be his leading lady. In the Antbook, which was part of the Antbox, it gives her full name, whereas in the autobiography he only refers to her as 'Karen'. You might be able to get a second-hand Antbox from Amazon or Ebay.

[cobain274eva]

ok ill read it 2nite

is the paperback version differnt 2 the hardback version cause ive got paperback 1

ok cool ill try n find it which 1 do u think wud b easier

[LisaKoffler7]

It seems like Adam dated most of the girls in his videos!

[thepasword]

its so frinking awesome. its like a fairy tale acid trip.

with the guy popping out of the big ben, and the red eyed mice.

man its like a kaleidascope of crazyness.

[loonmaniac]

So what the hell is supposed to be going on in this video?

[yelloworangered]

In the original "Puss in Boots" fairy tale, it was a real cat who helped out. This is more "puzzy in boots." The King has a mouse problem and gets Pussy to capture the mice by promising that he'll make her queen. The Main Mouse tries to romance her, but she rejects him. Adam Ant is a sort of authorial voice that tells the story. Upshot, King gets cheese, Pussy gets crown, mice in servitude. Flash to Adam & girl, she wants him, he falls off hayloft, haha.

[loonmaniac]

Okay, I get it now. I knew the story vaguely from childhood, but I was confused as to what Adam Ant had to do with it in terms of the video. I used to have this, taped off of MTV, on an old VHS tape.

[zoekills]

best description ever.

[astroxzombiexlove]

sigh.

the 1980s were so much cuter.

[LisaKoffler7]

I loved the '80s, too!

[aniseedrock23250]

This video and the song amost represents some of my recent behaviour.

[FreeMerryJane]

I wanna wear my hair like that again.

[comicsbookchik]

You had her hair too LOL so did I only a bit fluffier..I was a major aquanet junkie..

[nooriginalthoughts]

What a pair of F.M.B.'s

[CapriciousCapricrn]

♥♥♥&heart­s;♥

[jaiwills]

Yeah, the girl in the video is a dead ringer for Kate Bush - same hair-style, facial expressions, body language, dance moves and everything. (Although I've never seen the real Kate in a leather miniskirt, stockings and boots before.) I must say that the song and the video are both rather dumb, but that yummy pussycat girl certainly kept me watching. MEOW!

[wiseguy1305]

He kind of looks like Peter Weller a little bit.

[jamesofcool]

un-affly brillant does he hate synthesizers?

[PrincessHunny10245]

very addictive, great song. i love adam and the ants, spesh adam ant :D haha whos the girl? shes heap pretty. and the cat affect with her is really cool

[jabbso]

Heap pretty, great phrase. I'll use that down the pub tonight!

[PrincessHunny10245]

very addictive, great song. i love adam and the ants, spesh adam ant :D haha whos the girl? shes heap pretty. and the cat affect with her is really cool

[PrincessHunny10245]

LOVE THIS SONG (y)

[sexytamsin]

i love this song, n adam n the ants!

[sagoskog]

Is she Kate Bush?

[LisaKoffler7]

No, she's Karen Landau, one of Adam's ex-girlfriends.

[sonofherne]

Adam talks about their relationship briefly in his biography. She was married to Michael Praed (aka Robin of Sherwood) for many years. They are now seperated.

[XJBXluverX]

i love adam ant!!! wooo!!!

[jabbso]

What a top tune :-)

Pop music at its best!

[scoobyjeff]

classic :-D
