I had this song on a tape I recorded off the radio, probably when this song was first released. I never knew who it was or what that song was called, but I liked it. I finally found out thanks to the internet!
Omg, adam is SO fine, had a crush on him since the 80's when I was in HS, still think he's major sexy... those cheekbones oohlala. Had no one to share my interest at the time so FINALLY it's great to read about others who appreciate his awesome cool image and creative songs. Saw him in an episode of Tales From the Darkside once and always wished he'd have done more acting.
At the time Benny Hill was one of the highest paid entertainers in Britain. The entire budget for this video was 63p, so how would they have paid Benny. Also another small point, but I feel important, it looks fuck all like him.
Adam Ant was a really great performer, I don't think he's been given just credit for his contibution to entertainment, which continues to this day, thanks to youtube :-)
@Elibobbob GREAT performer but, sadly, the music mostly sucked (later years) and the lyrics were terrible! I wish he'd get back in the studio to produce a DIRK meets KINGS meets FRIEND OR FOE album, basically getting back to roots stuff... KINGS was brilliant, DIRK was raw and FRIEND was polished... Just sayin'...
It's 1980. I'm 19 and cute as hell. Two men on this earth get my motor running. One is now my husband and is still gorgeous. The other is Adam Ant. Damn,I'm a lucky woman.
It's 1980.I'm 19 years old and cute as hell. There are 2 men walking this earth that get me going,in a BIG way. One of them is now my husband. Thank you very much,he is beautiful. The other is Adam Ant.....aaaahhhhhhh. I'm a happy woman.
This song is goofysauce awesome-- grab a bunch of friends and do Virginia Reel to this song and see what happens! Adam's jacket looks more like a Mercury project spacesuit though!
@weeboys2 Maybe she was so overwhelmed by Adam that she was afraid of losing him, left before she could get her heart broken and fled without a backwards look towards the only thing in this world that shines nearly half as much as her only love... the stars.xxx
is it me or dose this song sound just a bit racist?
