[Music] Men Without Hats - "Safety Dance"

[Juan Albion]

I know there is someone on here who has mentioned this song a couple of times. Can't remember who though.

For them, here's a video from last night. Not great quality though.

 

[Badger]

Canada's finest.

 

[Hugo Rune]

The video was so good for this song.

Puts one in mind of a typical Sussaxon May Day fete with everyone dancing around having such fun.

Respect due to the world's provincial pop acts who were blessed/cursed with One Hit and were doomed to walk the earth for the rest of their days trying to get somebody - anybody! - interested in their new material.

And seems as good a place as any to mourn the passing early this week of Andrew 'Greedy' Smith, lead singer of Mental As Anything. Aussie answer to Men Without Hats. RIP

Indeed. Although filmed in West Kington, Wiltshire for some useless fact points.

Hey, I'll have you know that the second song in this video, "Pop Goes The World" reached #1 in Austria.

It was me. They were very entertaining when I lived in Vancouver in the early 80s. But, just as the Sweet were described as 'brickies in drag' I always used to think of MWH as 'massive Ukranian farmers in drag'. My bad?
