Wang Chung Dance Hall Days
Cool On Craze


OK it is a terrible song - with perhaps the most bizarre lyrics ever (well next to their other later release - Have Fun Tonight (everybody Wang Chung tonight). The clip provided here on this page is the well known ritzy american made clip which was played on high rotation on MTV (and countdown for those growing up in Australia) BUT before I show you that - here's the link for the rare British clip which was directed by the amazing Derek Jarman - here is his version of Dance Hall Days/LINK]



Now I mentioned before the fact that there are some bizarre lyrics in this song - what I meant was - EVERY SINGLE LYRIC is completely mad - doesn't make sense and almost random. Don't believe me? Take a look

Take your baby by the hand
And make her do a high hand stand
Take your baby by the heel
And do the next thing that you feel

Chorus:
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When i, you, and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true
Oh, I said

Take your baby by the hair
And pull her close and there there there
Take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears

Repeat chorus

So take your baby by the wrist

And in her mouth an amethyst
And in her eyes two sapphires blue
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you

- just bizarre - anyway after all that - here's the clip - enjoy

The original version of this song comes from 1959 and was a hit for Cliff Richard and The Shadows. The song was written by Lionel Bart (who wrote the music for the musical Oliver!). This clip was made in 1986 with The Young Ones - a comedy group in England based around Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmondson and was written by a young Ben Elton. One of the characters of ridicule on the show was indeed Cliff Richard (the Young Ones being the title of a Cliff Richard song). They got together nd made this cover of his original song. The end result is very memorable and very very funny. Enjoy

144. Shout To The Top - Style Council

One of my favourite songs of the 80's - Paul Weller caught in between his early punk years with the Jam and his later solo career in the 90's and beyond. This song features him singing in a jacket only he could make cool. The song is a ripper and will have you dancing around the room guaranteed - even if you are hearing it for the first time. Enjoy

What started off as an avant garde punk art school band turned into one of the world's most loved rock acts. This great song is produced by the legendary Brian Eno and his flourishes can be heard. The clip is almost performance art with Byrne at his best with choreography by Toni Basil (of 'Mickey' fame). Enjoy.
