Everybody Wang Chung Tonight

― Ivory Merchant, Sunday, 7 August 2005 01:43 (twenty years ago)

I love this song. I don't care how stupid the lyrics are. The string arrangements are great. The verse and chorus hooks rule. And I like the epilepsy inducing video done by G&C.

This song, "To Live and Die in LA," and "Dance Hall Days" are complete classics.

Godley & Creme did that video? I always thought it was a good video but now I even like it more.

I really, really, really, really, really can't stand this song. We are most certainly NOT going to have fun tonight, we are not ever going to have fun with this one, ya'll. The party was over before it even began.

For me, "The Warmer Side Of Cool" is Wang Chung's strongest disc. There are highlights on every other release, but Cool impresses me the most. For this disc alone, Wang Chung deserves five hundred thousand other threads.
Everybody Have Fun Tonight is silly, and it is meant to be silly. Silly definitely sold in the eighties.

Heh heh...I remember the band being asked (forced?) to make a few cuts in that video (well, FEWER cuts is more accurate I suppose) so that it could be shown on some video show without giving any viewers fits. So the singer has the chutzpah to complain about it on a televised interview, comparing him & his band to Mozart 'cause of Emperor Joseph's insistence that his music had "too many notes" and his demand that Mozart therefore cut a few out! (Yeah, I saw that movie too.)

Anyway, I liked "Dance Hall Days" better. But not a great deal.

Anyone remember "Let's Go," the followup to EHFT?

let's not forget"don't let go".
mosaic is a very consistent lp.

I heard "Let's Go" for the first time ever recently.

Sorta sucks. "Dance Hall Days" is still where it's at.

On the edge of oblivion
All the world is babylon
And all the love and everyone
A ship of fools sailing on

It's just so lush, and what really made it for me was realizing what a great dance track it was on the floor of Patches in the 80s.

We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody takin' the cha-a-a-ance

Safety dance
