Men Without Hats Living In China
DOWNLOAD SONG http://bit.ly/bhz3TC
The new wave synth pop collective Men Without Hats were formed in 1980 by brothers Ivan and Stefan Doroschuk. Ivan was the leader of the group, writing the majority of the songs and providing the lead vocals; Stefan was the guitarist; and other members changed frequently throughout the course of the group's career. They independently released their debut EP, Folk of the '80s, in 1980; it was reissued the following year by Stiff in Britain. During 1982, the band consisted of Ivan, Stefan, another brother Colin Doroschuk (keyboards), along with drummer Allan McCarthy; this is the lineup that recorded Men Without Hats' 1982 debut album, Rhythm of Youth. Taken from their debut, the single "The Safety Dance" became a major hit, peaking on the American charts at number three in 1983. Driven by an insistent three-chord synthesizer riff, the song was one of the biggest synth pop hits of the new wave era. The group wasn't able to exploit its success, however. Folk of the '80s (Part III) stalled at number 127 on the charts in America and made even less of an impact in other parts of the world. Thanks to the minor-hit title track, 1987's Pop Goes the World was a bigger success, yet it didn't recapture the audience their first album had gained. Released two years later, The Adventures of Women & Men Without Hate in the 21st Century failed to chart, as did its follow-up, 1991's Sideways. The two albums' lack of success effectively put an end to Men Without Hats' career.

  • @sh9683 If you want to be so literal about it, okay!

  • @LedWilde definition of shit; stuff that comes through you know what!

  • But you're right, it's not "shit" as in "shitty music." Far from that.

  • @sh9683 Hey, I can use any labels I want to. If I use the term "Awesome shit!" You're just going to have to accept that shit. I use the word "shit" as a slang for "stuff." Not being literal! Alright? So knock that shit off and just let me enjoy this shit.

  • @LedWilde this is not shit! and shit is never awesome! just so you know so if this is shit its not awesome but if its awesome its clearly not shit! make up your mind

  • Thanks for sending this! Awesome shit!

  • This song just makes me want to get up and dance.

  • Love their stuff.
