In 1987, my old high school won a contest to have Wang Chung play a concert there. Some very amazing students were able to turn it into a fundraisier for a student that suffered a brain injury a few weeks before. The band visited the boy in the hospital, and made a big difference in his recovery.
something similar happened my Senior Year of HS , a friend of mine was sitting on the hood of someones car in the school parking lot, and he would not get off of it, so the dumb dingus in the car thought if he started to back the car up really quick, it would get my friend to get off the Hood. unfortunately, my friend fell off and hit his head, and had a serious brain injury. he used to be an "A" average student, but after he recovered , he had the mental capacity of a 8 year old 😥sadly , no bands visited his hospital room tho...
@@schooltrashers The nostalgia is too much at times, I long for that era, growing up in the 70s and 80s. A time in life and music never to be repeated.
I always wondered when that sentiment began, like did someone that grew up in the 20s think swing music was the best ever? That's pretty much the beginning of recorded popular music. Yeah it's about 100 years now. That's all the way back when there were only 2 radio stations, one for music and one for news.
I'm a Gen Z, and I find this more listenable than the descent into Hell that is TikTok. VERY toxic platform with very predictable music. While the general treatment of women was still a work in progress in the '80s, the artists in that decade were at least creative. MTV was also more like teamwork than a tiring platform.
For real, this was pre digital. Pretty sure this had to be spliced together physically. Maybe they had a splitter though. Regardless, 1000x harder than today.
I would hate to edit this even in digital, I imagine they used a switcher and had several video players going into the switcher at once and would flip the buttons on it. They still would have to go back and edit in material.
Anybody else sitting around and listening to one great '80s song after another? The '80s weren't without their issues, but my God, we had some excellent music!
Always think about the immortal Frazier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) on the Cheers episode when he said in his deep voice: "Everybody have fun tonight... everybody Wang CHUNG... tonight." Too good.
@@hellmuth26 Some kind of Asian movement or dance if you like...Wang Chung's open to any discussion or look up the supposed true definition in Wikipedia.
I'm a radio host on my village internet radio station playing nothing but 80's music and I can absolutely assure you this one gets played often on my show.
Does anyone else remember when Frasier entered the Cheers bar, sat down on his normal stool and said, "Everybody have fun tonight. Everybody Wang Chung tonight."?? It was so funny.
I remembered watching this on MTV and VH1. this should've been an award winning video. The way everything was done. This cannot be replicated. I loved Wang Chung. I'm 65 now and still love it❤❤❤❤

I would like to point out that this was before even the damn VIDEO TOASTER was an option. This was done with scotch tape and an exacto knife. Editing is this person's super power. The only video I can think of that even comes close is the Scissor Sisters "I Don't Feel Like Dancing".
I believe the proper form is "wanging chung", where "wang" is the verb and "chung" is the direct object. Now, if these two words appear in the opposite order or not directly next to each other in the sentence, all bets are off. The Latin rules prevail, and you must determine the meaning of each word in relation to each other word, and by the time you've done that your language and civilization have died, and THEN where are you. Best to just *wang* that *chung* and leave well enough alone.
BACK IN 1986 WANG CHUNG OPENED FOR THE CARS 🚗 THERE SET LIST WAS QUITE BORING BUT WHEN THEY PLAYED EVERYBODY"HAVE FUN TONIGHT 🎼 THE BRENDAN BYRNE ARENA IN THE MEADOWLANDS NJ ERUPTED ! LIKE A VOLCANO 🌋 THAT SONG IS LEGEND 😂😂😂😂
The landlord in our office building is named Chung. When we were in the process of negotiating the lease, "Is his first name Wang?" was an FAQ. It's bad enough we sing this at the first of the month when the rent's due...
I agree 100% My life from 1981 until 1988 was beyond magical. Even though I lived in a small town in PA, the social scene was perfect. Great friends, great music, awesome parties and it all seemed like I was somehow caught up as a character in a movie. Each weekend I would say that there is no possible way this one could be better than the previous? Well, it was, and it kept building until it finally hit a crescendo in late 1988 when I realized I had to move on with my life (I also met this girl, she really was different than all the others, and then................true adulthood hit me like a brick wall?) I know that to dwell in the past is a bad idea but if I could find a way to go back for even a week? No stress, hardly any obligations other than my job and just living in a dream and being on top of the world?
it simply means that magic spells can influence the universe 2:32 all the angels in oblivion and all the world is babylon babylon = oblivion = dante's inferno = hell on earth
i'm currently staying in the heart of babylon. a land without spirituality or true religion, but desperately in need of the one religion that crushed its soul many centuries ago
Another perfect example of great song meets bizarre music video. Director: Ok I need you to perform this song about having fun but do it with all the enthusiasm of someone waiting impatiently for a bus. Singer: Are you sure? I don't think looking bored/pissed off really matches the tone of the song. Director: Trust me we'll add some seizure inducing strobe effects later, it'll be AWESOME!!
Beginning of the 80s Music Videos were a brand new feature. I think the singer played his part low key. I love this song and saw it back in the day. It was very "New Wave" at that time
I also thought the same. I guess it depends on how the wanging of the chung occurred and if the wang was more dominant than the chung itself. In conclusion I believe you're correct due to they way he/she describes the activity.
Que linda epoca para haber nacido pudiste disfrutar lo mejor de la musica,a otros como yo solo les queda escuchar recuerdos 😥 pero igual me hacen sentir bien sobretodo en este tiempo que no hay mucho de donde escoger 🤷♂️
I am Mexican, I am 24, but the 80's and the new wave drive me crazy, in my opinion the same sound may never be heard again, the music of now does not make me feel anything like Wang Chung - Every Have Fun Tonight, in a world where everything sounds the same.
I Loved this Song when it came out. Still do, so I just added it to one of my Specialty Playlists. But one thing I liked about it is that is Unusually SELF-REFERENCING! How many Songs have you hear where the Performers/Composers Refer To THEMSELVES in the Lyrics??? This is a Song that is a Commercial for ITSELF (i.e. The Band performing it)!! WoW!!
haha that is SO funny have not laughed so much in a long time... yes hahahhaaha but a fun song thanks for the good comment you are awesome .. George from Sydney Australia
Y hubieras visto el ritmo que se le imponia en las Discos de Puerto Vallarta como el Capriccio,Lion's Den 1987 pura gringuita ponedora con los cuatro que nos moviamos
@@danielkyavata6233 my opinion is the opposite. I think the 80s were great for pop music especially because musicians from non-English countries tried to access Anglophone markets. New Wave, Synthpop, Techno and Eurobeat were pretty much continental European trends that became popular worldwide
@@gazpachopolice7211 I remember the comment you got your name from lol. I don't think any politician ever has induced as many facepalms as Marjorie Taylor Greene.
THIS SONG IS ABOUT THE LAST DAYS AND I GOT IT BACK IN 1986...ALL THE WORLD IS BABYLON A SHIP OF FOOLS SAILING ON TO HELL! WAKE UP SILLY PEOPLE...LAST DAYS ALL PRAISE THE MOST HIGH!
It's directed by the genius duo of Godley and creme and those guys totally took video production in totally strange and bizarre directions starting with the stunning 1981 visage classic fade to Grey
@@retrodude6215 they just cut between two rolls of footage quickly, I already edited my spoof of the video for my documentary that I will hopefully release in a few days. What I did, is stand in the same spot for 2 takes of me saying a line and then cut rapidly between them. Then you'll see me and my gizmo flashing around in one corner and I'm on drums in the other corner and my cat comes and goes rapidly
Everybody Have Fun Tonight I'll drive a million miles To be with you tonight So if you're feeling low Turn up your radio The words we use are strong They make reality But now the music's on Oh baby dance with me yeah Rip it up Move down Rip it up Move it down to the ground Rip it up Cool down Rip it up And get the feeling not the word Everybody have fun tonight Everybody have fun tonight Everybody Wang Chung tonight Everybody have fun tonight Everybody Wang Chung tonight Everybody have fun Deep in the world tonight Our hearts beat safe and sound I'll hold you so close Just let yourself go down Rip it up Move down Rip it up Move it down to the ground Rip it up Cool down Rip it up Get out what's inside of you Everybody have fun tonight Everybody have fun tonight Everybody Wang Chung tonight Everybody have fun tonight Everybody have fun tonight Everybody Wang Chung tonight Everybody have fun On the edge of oblivion All the world is Babylon And all the love and ev'ryone A ship of fools sailing on (Everybody) Everybody have fun tonight (Everybody) Everybody have fun tonight Across the nation Around the world Everybody have fun tonight A celebration so spread the word Everybody have fun tonight Everybody have fun tonight Everybody Wang Chung tonight Everybody have fun tonight Everybody Wang Chung tonight Everybody have fun tonight Everybody have fun Everybody Everyone Fuente: LyricFind Compositores: Jack Hues / Nick Feldman / Peter F.

I prefer 80's music the most when I was teens on into 20's . Now when I see how old they are my age or older , I feel old but still listen to 80's and some 90's
Doubtful. Lot of hair spray and synthesized phoniness. There is something about that decade that strikes me as really fake and artificial, from the music to the fashion. I guess its cause I was a kid then.
you know everybody is going to say the time period they grew up with was fun... its literally you being young and just having new experiences ..nothing new about that with later generations you still are able to experience previous generation songs ..you tend to have a bigger library to experience really. i was born end of 80's myself but grew up in the 90's
In '87 for my high school graduation, they performed at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL for Grad Night - it was a lot of fun watching them do this hit song live.
@@markvonmeding6246 They were the headline act playing in front of the castle. There were others smaller acts like "someday" by Glass Tiger and a few others, but Wang Chung was the biggest band there that late night (it was after the park closed only for students across the state)- it was a lot of fun.
@@muffs55mercury61 I felt at the time so lucky that they started doing this - grad night for high school students across the state of Florida. Unfortunately, one bad memory were some drunk students from Miami. They jumped out of "It's A Small World" ride and broke some of the figurines. As a result, when it reopened later in the evening they had people on "deck" on many of the rides, which ruined the effect to ensure more drunk students would not damage more of the rides. I have no idea if they still do it today or had to give it up sponsoring this night because of misbehaving senior graduates.
