Ant Music for Ant People!! I love the way the disco people are aghast at this new development. So cool!! I've never seen this version. What a find! Thanks to YouTube's cartroubleDOTnl for the great post!
Yeah, he was the sexiest person on all his videos.Better looking than ALL his girlfriends.How do you be so gorgeous????? I don't get it. Does he even know how gorgeous he was???? I don't know how this is possible. I am proud that people have told me thru the years that I am attractive. But Adam Ant,impossibly gorgeous!!!
You're both wrong. The first punk band in the world were The Saints in 1973 from Australia. The Ramones copied them, The Sex Pistols copied them and the rest is history.
A fascinating version. Won why it wasn't released as-is as an alternative. Plenty of bands do that when releasing vinyl on CD to add value. Low-grade releases always make me think the label is under pressure to release something but fears releasing something good.
My GOD I'd forgotten just how 'pretty' Adam was back then...(this was from my so called 'salad years')...I saw him in concert...what a FUN concert...the whole audience was up on their feet, dancing the whole time. ANT MUSIC still ROCKS!
Sorry Not to pick but the new wave/new romantic scene followed punk and started in the UK. Adam and the Ants in the 70's were a punk group and punk came out of London
punk didnt come out of london, infact the first band to be called punk were the ramones. or more so the first time punk was use was to define the ramones. and that was 74-75 in america in a little club called CBGB's. in the united states, not london
I don't know about the people in the audience looking new wavish, There was a solid new wave scene in the states, then again every scene we started went across the pond , and the brits did there best to make our scene their own. face it we create the music, and the brits give it a look then package it into a nice product.
The music also sounds a bit different. Was this an entirely different mix? Aside from the vocals, which are obviously different, the guitars sound a bit twangier. Perhaps it's just that I'm used to the mono version...
I've seen a number of alternate cuts of this video, but I've never heard this mix before, which features a difference vocal on the "Don't treat on an ant" spoken bit in the break. Very interesting! And that is Amanda Donahoe by the way--she and Adam dated for a couple of years and she is also in the "Stand and Deliver" video
Yeah this was on a certain pressing of the vinyl album. You can recognize it by the number pressed between the outro grooves in the middle. Can't remember what the number was though :)
This is the only version I know, the 1st,and the best

The ants reignited a pop scene that had got very boring since the glam rock days of the early 70s, long live Adam and the Ants!
