Wang Chung - Every body have fun tonight-Dance Hall Days

[tpj1965]

"Everybody Have Fun Tonight"was released as a single in 1986, reaching #2 in the Billboard Hot 100.

The music video for this song was banned from some TV stations and in England out of fear that the stop-motion filming style would cause epileptic seizures. In 2004 Blender magazine and VH1 ranked it the third "most awesomely bad song ever".Wikipedia®

Even though they are British, Dance Hall Days was Wang Chung's only hit in the UK. After it proved to be a bigger hit in the US and was featured in the film To Live And Die In LA, they decided to ignore the UK market and concentrate on the US. This proved an astute decision as they recorded two more American top 10 hits, "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" (#2 in 1986) and "Let's Go!" (#9 in 1987), whilst not even recording a minor chart placing in the UK.Songfacts

They kinda disappeared after making a big splash. After watching all the videos from this era, I'm convinced that most of the videomakers didn't have a clue as to what the hell they are doing in the 80s--there is practially no thematic or visual continuity, for the most part-just a lot of rapid cuts and manipulation of film speeds and random shots of the bands thrown.

There are some notable exceptions, or course, and the set designs were usually kinda interesting...but damn...if it weren't for those songs, most celluloid shot then would be worthless.

I still like Dance Hall Days...particularly the simple rhythm guitar and sax solo. Nice song - it's too bad this band didn't continue - it would be interesting to see what they would do today

This is what I call extremely radio friendly pop junk. But, thanks for sharing, keep it up :D

Well much of the music of the 80's was as you say "radio friendly pop junk", but for the most part it was fun. And your welcome Droopy I am just trying to catch your coat tails.
