Definitely one of their best. Brilliant production and mixing by Chris Hughes. LOL at Adam later saying the production was poor! You want poor production go to Friend of Foe (album). Appalling. Shame this song was never released as a single. Can only think the lyrics were considered a bit too risque considering the riots in the UK at the time.
"have fun don't listen when you're told there's none the scorpion" like every other other ant fan I played this track and the album till I could sing it backwards. Still have still love it. What a great time early 80s I'm delighted how brill Adams looking n sounding , going to see him the end of may can't wait to be that star struck all over again love Mr Ant
@kubran I disagree, I actually thought it's a very uplifting, positive, hook-ridden song, it could easily have been a single. We used to play the Prince Charming LP non-stop as kids.
I can still sing the lyrics, 30 years later, without looking them up.
My cassette still works as well! amazing, and they said tapes wouldn't last, and yes i did play it a lot, at home and in my car - which was an 1800 Marina which had an aftermarket cassette player i think it was a 'Saisho' which was the Dixons cheap and cheerfull own brand.
well, my neighbours know by now how I like this song!!!!! I saw that the whole album has been put on YT so I'm gonna sing along with 5 guns west now.....
Was the intro of this song used by Quentin Tarantino in something?

Love this track by Adam and the Ants but can't help but think it sounds like a cheesy 70's cop theme song.

Fantastic album! I've still got the original cassette and it still works!
Great song and fantastic group.
Late '70s to early '80s an absolute goldmine of fabulous music and talent.
Thank's for posting
