Adam Ant - 'Here Comes The Grump' (1982)

[rundbaum]

OK, yet another "joiner" to this track. LOVE THIS SONG!!! REMEMBER PLAYING IT NONSTOP ON MY WALKMAN DURING MY TOUR OF THE BRITISH ISLANDS IN '82!!! Somehow, none of the highlights of that trip could compare to this 'Adam' CD . . .

[m0ggieboy]

PLEASE PLAY THIS ON THE TOUR. I KNOW YOU WON'T AS IT'S A MARCO TUNE BUT WORTH A POP.

[dmjsmith100]

Luv it:)

[RwBguardian]

LOVE THIS!

[richiebear1969]

Crackpot history and the right to lie...

[flipponzin24]

@richiebear1969

Another great song. =;-)

[m0ggieboy]

Wish he'd play this live on the current AMAZING tour.

[Diogenes1360]

I always dug Adam since back when he ruled. The guitar from Marco and Adam's get-up and movement . . attracted "chicks." I'm a guy and their was nothing "homo" about Adam, he always brought in the "girls" which meant there were plenty of left-overs for the rest of us . .

[Simon4642]

30 years....30 years...oh my...speachless..

[Phatjoint]

Truly one of the best songs on the cd...l know its cliche to say this...but its sad but true...They dont make music like this anymore

[wonderfulhuman161]

Marco had the best sound. It's rare a guitar could define so many tracks. He knew when to set back and when to step up for the tastiest of solos. GENIUS!

[bettypagefan100]

" doctors said adam sex kills, so come inside come inside and die" think thats my all time favourite line. this song used to make me cry when i was a love struck 11 year old :0)

[rquille]

Thanks for this, forgot how much this influenced me as a kid. I was 12 and my dad dying of cancer. This band kept me and my brothers together through a really difficult time...

[ktgibbsribs]

Adams right back on top form looking n sounding pure magic. It's great for us all to see how brill Adams doing. Loved this man for over 30 yrs here's to the 30. Adam rocked at the 02 in Liverpool got his book signed for me n photos taken. Delighted what a sexy gent x x Kt

[ANTFANTASTICO]

Seeing ADAM tomorrow nite at the O2 Indigo.... Can't wait ROCK 'N' ROLL

[ANTFANTASTICO]

@Simon4642 Was a total blinding concert from a total blinding guy .He performed most of his hits from punk days thru to Vive le Rock ...A fANTastic time

[BluToaster]

what's a sticky patch again?

[Simon4642]

some times life can be well smoth with a little help in our pleasure of music and with out a doubt come inside com inside come inside and die

[mondybob]

@lyallbaybum69

You're welcome! <3333

[Kelly14UK]

Brilliant song, and when I come to think of it, one of the very few tracks he and Marco did in '82 without brass.

[flipponzin24]

@Kelly14UK

Yep =:-D I think the other one from the Friend Or Foe record without brass instruments was 'Man Called Marco'.

[marko723]

i remember being a teen in the 80's listening to this while laying on my bed. Good memories... Thanks!

[ScooterGirl9988]

This has always been one of my favorite Ant songs. I had "Friend or Foe" on vinyl but I never got the CD. Thanks for posting so I can listen to it whenever I want!

[flipponzin24]

@ScooterGirl9988

Anytime ScooterGirl! Enjoy! <33

[RwBguardian]

[flipponzin24]

@RwBguardian

You're very welcome! I HIGHLY recommend finding a CD of this great album =:-D

[Superchick2]

In the night when things go bump/Think of me... :-) Kewl song then, kewl song now.

[alibopdingding]

How the hell did I miss this one...Awesome...

[JFrancyChan]

Very beautiful song! It's the first time I listen it!

Adam rules :)

[BewareTheBeast]

Possibly the best Adam Ant song ever. What a classic.

[PsychicHarvardGrad]

You have no idea how loved this is! This album shaped my 10,11, and 12 year old mind and help set the ground for my teens and who I am today. Seriously. I used t listen to these songs and memorize them. Somewhere inside me I knew they were lessons I would need to know, but at the time I really didn't know why. This song made me aware that I could accomplish what I want but know that to there were others wanting the worst 4me. So I knew early to hold my ground firm and never be dull.

[stevo122]

one of my fave adam ant songs x

[kiss904]

this video should have 50,000 views mate! best song ever written.

[PandoraNYC1]

"Doctor said Adam sex kills/so come inside and die"!!! That line always killed when he did this song in concert Love this song, but then i love all of his songs. Can honestly say I never heard a bad Ant song - just doesn't exist!

[allanfolte]

Great - love it!!  still!

Greetings from DK

[sahlmann66]

one of the best tracks from the "friend or foe" album. i love this song since more than 25 ears...

thank ou SO much!!

[Sta456]

Great song from a great album!

[flipponzin24]

Wow! 10,000 views? I'm so happy that many of you guys love this song! Thank you everybody!! =:-D

[yomamab2002]

@flipponzin24 Thank you so much for posting the video! I never heard this song before but love it! I remember seeing Adam on American Bandstand and thought he was a great singer and of course thought he was very cute. I'm almost ashamed to say that I never purchased any of their songs. I honestly don't know why either. I was just married in 1980 and so don't know if my mind was too much into that or if it was because of the fact that we didn't have MTV and so weren't exposed to Adam much.

[weeboys2]

@flipponzin24 --Thank you so much for posting this --it is greatly appreciated. I have loved Adam Ant for 30 years.

[Kelly14UK]

@flipponzin24 WORD!!

[Dirlandas]

The more I listen the better this track gets.

They dont make music like this anymore!!

[JaphethShemHam]

such a calming, soothing vibe. I've been in love with song for so long.

My "ear" is horrible... I can't be sure I'm strumming the correct guitar chords... can someone post what the chords they hear are in this tune.

simple, I know, but I would be so grateful for the help.

[flipponzin24]

When I have a bit less college work on hand, I'll check that out for you =:-) I play this song very often on the bass guitar and I'm sure the bassline itself follows the chord changes.

[EdiblePlanets]

Thank you. One of my favs. Always thought this one was overlooked a bit. So much brilliant material. More Ant Music for Sex People!

[MissNovemberTuesday]

Crap, I haven't heard this song in a long time. I almost forgot about it. I LOVE this song! So glad you posted this.

[flipponzin24]

Your very welcome =:-) Enjoy!!

[lisar5]

always thinking of you honey so love this track!!! being a post punk dirk fan its a sercert xx

[RURALWARROOM]

Adaaaaam!

[antmuzic]

Love the album, still have it. No Cds will ever replace the crackles and pops of a lp

[flipponzin24]

@antmuzic

Agreed =:-) The vinyl of this album is where it really stands out!

[Imkittie]

YRC123456 couldn't have said it better !! I love my Adam Ant !! Stuart xo

[youarecrap123456]

omg, i love adam, always have, always will, love you adam xx

[LD710]

In his bio he mentions having a toy gun with a polka dot handle - check out the photo here. lol

[buddyholly1958]

lol fantastic xD

[wotdoesthisbuttondo]

friend or foe was the first album i ever bought and is still one of the best

[richiebear1969]

I borrowed this cassette from my neighbor in the eighties, one of the best new wave albums Friend Or Foe.

[flipponzin24]

I agree entirely =:-) Do you have this album right now?

[richiebear1969]

No but I have Adam Ant's Greatest Hits CD, but I remember much of the tracks from Friend or Foe, The Man Called Marco ring a bell, that sounded like something you would hear in a Clint Eastwood western movie in the sixties.

[flipponzin24]

You can find the album on E-bay, Amazon, and others without too much trouble=:-) And even more exciting, there is a remastered version with 12 bonus tracks including an outtake called Coup D 'Etat that was not included on the original album.

[gorobby1]

most underrated singer ever

[agc1912]

Is that Bogdan Wiczling on drums

[flipponzin24]

It is =:-) Good drummer, isn't he?

[eschermenenzerico]

Very good. Sounds somewhat like Jim Keltner

[allyplumb]

This track seems very autobiographical..Always liked this track and this album with that burundi/cajun feel..

[rongravy]

listen to close to what friends say. throw the rest away. great song.

[Cloughjordan23]

wow i didnt realise people loved this album- i thought i was out on my own. Lyrically its his best as all his own tracks give a perfect view of how his life was and how the media and public thought they owned him.

[var411]

My fave song of all time - gorgeous man, gorgeous voice, still brings shivers to my aging spine LOL

[Dirlandas]

Doctor said "Adam sex kills, so come inside and die".

One of my fave lyrics ever!!

[Ermie58]

The best album of the 80s ! I saw him at least a dozen times and he always gave his all ! Was he ever sexy....

[flipponzin24]

Yes it is=:-) However, I never got to see him in concert...

[HitlerOnTheRoof]

Friend or Foe is probably one of the best records made from top to bottom. Period.

[flipponzin24]

It's a perfect record =:-) Good comment!

[wonderfulhuman161]

Yeah it's good. I burnt my eardrums out on this and the rest of the catalog. Great live too. Saw them four times in NYC.

[missoctober77]

God, I looove this so much. I can't believe it wasn't a single.

[flipponzin24]

It would've made a great single =:-)

[Dirlandas]

This is a quite magnificent track.

Nuff said.

[preciousbash]

Me too Robypek!!

[Robypek]

i was 13 years old when i buy this album...now i am 40....great album!!

[DeXar]

I really LOVE they guys.... first time I hear DELIVERY, if I stay in army (23 years ago) and NOW, I've got all songs from him and have "peace" in my soul :o) Thanx guys for urs funny, crazy, nice songs & for thinking :o)

[flipponzin24]

This comes from his 'Friend Or Foe album'; and in my opinion, one of his best albums!

[spurtfather]

[mikeymishka1]

Yeah I agree This has to be one of the best tracks, less is more I think..
