Lyrics
Put some wax on the trax and slide on outta here
Hane hane hane hane hane
Hatchets in the corner ears to the ground
Improve to the groove get down to the sound
Buttons and bows and bleu blanc rouge
All things lively must be used
Liberté, egalité, au jourd'hui c'est très très très
Voici l'opportunité nous incroyables
I got the moves they got the grooves
Summoned the Gods and they all approved
Bad vibes akimbo on the shelf
Bit of a rap thing going for myself
This gold on the teeth's no sense at all
It only matters when it's on the wall
I'm standing here with my four men
Let's start that rapping thing again:
Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly
In the naughty North and in the sexy South
We're all singing I have the mouth
In the naughty North and in the sexy South
We're all singing I have the mouth
I have the mouth
So tired of anarchists looking at me
Don't need their credibility
"Destroy," they say, "Defy! Condemn!"
As long as you don't destroy them
With twenty years of drugs and drink
I thought the time had come to think
About standing up and saying that
It's tragedy and such old hat
I'm standing here with my four men
Let's start that rapping thing again:
(I got) Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly
In the naughty North and in the sexy South
We're all singing I have the mouth
In the naughty North and in the sexy South
We're all singing I have the mouth
I have the mouth
These happy feet are all we need
Summoned the Gods and they all agreed
These feet won't stop they're in such a hurry
I knock it on the head and I go for a curry
Staying sober can be neat
Get drunk on these here happy feet
Keep on trying to pin me down
"Why a title for your sound?"
I'm standing here with my four men
Let's do this rapping thing again...
I got Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly
In the naughty North and in the sexy South
We're all singing I have the mouth...
In the naughty North and in the sexy South
We're all singing I have the mouth... [repeat]
In the naughty North and in the sexy South
We're all singing
And I have the mouth
And you have the mouth
And they got the mouth
I remember the very first time I saw this video was on Valentine's Day of 1983 when it was aired on MTV and that was the day I all of a sudden became an Ant Fan. Two years later, before Vive Le Rock was released, I sent Adam Ant a fan letter back in February of 1985. Then about a month later in March of 85 during a spring break vacation from school, I was in the middle of listening to my cassette tape copy of the Prince Charming album on my Sony Walkman until I checked my mail and got a sealed envelope all the way from London to the US by air mail. To my surprise, he sent me an autographed promo glossy of him with his band which consisted of Chris DeNiro, Count Wiczling and of course Marco Pirroni. That really made my day and an Ant Fan's dream come true. To this day I still have that autographed glossy proudly framed. Adam Ant is a very charismatic performer and fantastic. Love this!
Amazing story, well done. 😀
😊💖 That is AWESOME! Thank you for sharing your Ant story!🤗💖
Lulu the damsel in distress as well 🙂
1981
@@robynevans1287 you're welcome
Watched for the first time in years. Subtitles finally revealed to me that they werent chanting gibberish, thry were just calling out band member names!😊
Talented Adam did all the storyboards for all the videos.
I've always loved this song...definitely very underrated!
I'm sure I've still got the 7 inch single somewhere.
What makes you believe it's underrated?
its fuckin shite
This is a great song and was never underated.
He ain't no hollaback girl.
there was nothing like Marco playing Liberace...…..ha
This is a classic!!!
I love Adam And The Ants!!!
He pulled off that Liberace look really good.
That percussion is awesome
LOVE!!! The Prince Charming LOOK!!
Adam was ahead of his time 👌❤️💖👍
Still is!😊
Wow. Just drums...some guitar twang and a whistle..superb...
@Grover Bennington Don't forget that harpsichord!
@@crose7412although that's not on the album version
@@alexojideagu I didn't say it was.
Glorious
I've heard their songs long time ago, but actually met the band just a few days ago...Now I look for a video and found this! Whaaaaaat!? This is something...
Samantha Luau wow!! where did you meet them?
This was a time when you either supported Adam ant or Madness, long live the mighty ant's
Such energy...largely forgotten...but shone very brightly in the early eighties...
Brillant !
😊💖 I LO-O-OVE this just as much today as I did DECADES ago when I first heard it & saw the video!
I will ALWAYS LO-O-OVE it!!
🐜🎶♾️
still love adam
That football uniform he's wearing was from my high school.London Central High. Bobcats!
Adam Ant is the reason they call it the “sexy south”
This is 1981!?? Hell, this is before Malcolm McLaren's stuff and this pre-dates Beastie Boys! Wow.
Nope Mclaren did Bow wow wow with which Goddard was affiliated...
Think he means it was before malcolm and the beastie boys effort at making rap music!!
@@rosejones3586 Ohh I thought he meant Malcome Mclaren in general😂😅
That was thoughtful
God this guy was so many years ahead of JJ Abrahms with the lense flare
Adam is beautiful, but OMG look at Terry Lee! What a dish! Wow!
Great days!. I remember being in love with the woman in the statue of liberty outfit! 😍
yeah she's hot! isnt she the same girl in the clip strip?
Kim Moreels Yes, I'm sure that's her too. She's hot lol 🔥🔥🔥
That's Mary Stavin, one time girlfriend of George Best.
Wow,, actually a great song and humour, very goood x.
Great stuff, takes me back, and that looks like a couple of suits of armour originally made for the movie 'Excalibur' by Terry English. 🏆
love it
@2:00
I like how Heisenberg just randomly makes an appearance.
😆
I used to think he said Dairylea not Terry Lee as a kid
I used to sing Mongo,not Marco
same here lol
That's what I thought too! This is were it all started going terribly wrong Dx
I thought I heard Mungo, Derek, Dairylea, Gary Tits and Yours Truly but I was sooo wrong obviously 🤣😂🤣!!!
Same here
proper TUNE
Ouvi o disco prince charming no spotify,excelente!
Marco,Merrick,Terry Lee,Gary Tibbs....fucking marvelous you guys are.
Marco Mary DAIRYLEA....😆😆😅😆😆
i am ignorant on the topic, but who had a Rap song in UK before Adam Ant?
I don't know the answer...but good question!
MV太帥了，很好看
💜
“All dreams have meaning”
My dreams:
happy new year funny song
Avangarde....tout est vrai!!!
I only came here for the harpsichord solo
😁👌
Is it me or does Terry Lee Miall look like Percy from the Green Mile?
Matthew Jeffery OMG yes😂
The ending made me laugh
the fly MC
They rocked -- up until Prince Charming. Dirk Wears White Sox stil holds up. But by this point it was all a bit embarrassing, frankly.
Is that Debbie Harry at 20s in? I know Lulu is in this but this chick ain't Lulu
This dude was so ahead of his time damn
ABSOLUTELY 💯%!
I USED to have an autographed photo of Adam, Duran Duran, and a few others. A male family burnt them all!!! I was kicked out of the house, because I refused to take down my posters of Adam Ant and Duran Duran. I was 17, and 5 months from graduating high school. I enlisted in the Army, and met A LOT of Adam Ant and Duran Duran fans!
I’m 53, and I STILL be-bop around the house, while cleaning and cooking dinner, then I get melancholy when I think of my mom not being here, and I’m afraid of never experiencing an Adam Ant concert.
He’s STILL such an amazing artist and man. He went through so much, and came out on top with more adoring fans! I only wish that he was part of Live-Aid back in 1985. That..would’ve…been….AMAZING!!!
He was !
@@suzieross8464 He wasn’t shown. I watched that concert, from beginning to end, and Adam Ant wasn’t shown since he only played one song.
brings back so many incredibly happy memories. Everything was so exciting and new. Tragic young people won't have that carefree childhoods.
You are SO true.
and no more fredom in their future life ... wish everythings was back in the 80's
You are so so so right
I'm 18 and a huge adam and the ants fan. Wish they had more stuff.
Love the drumming and percussion on this song
I!Agree With All Of You About This One!✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨!ADAM ANT Is So SEXY 👌 🔥 😍 💯 %!
at least someone does
@@Iuxinterior soca beat
Adam and the Ants used/copied drums from Burundi tribes. The singing/yelling sometimes from the Native Americans. Loveee it 😍👍🏼😄🎵🎶
Sexy Scorpio Adam Ant was so ahead of his time. A British white guy infusing rap with punk. And done superbly. A unique sound created by an extraordinary artist.
truly avant garde....
Totally fuckiing agree. He was about 2 years ahead of every craze before social media.
Not punk, ANT MUSIC!
Not only that but it was original!! What a concept!!
sexy scorpio 😍
"In the naughty North and in the sexy South" .. Adam pointing to West and East 😂❤
Now 54. My idol at 15. Still got the 1981 stubb for the apollo, manchester gig.
Still got mine too from Ipswich the same year.
Me too!! I was there, I was 11!
This is so bad it’s good lol
The tribal drums, insane. What a tune!
Thank you for the memories here. I have not seen this video here or heard it in such a long time.
A hit here in Britain I think at the end of 1981 into 1982 and also the last Adam and the Ants hit before he went solo from what I can remember. A swish video filmed at Bodiam Castle in East Sussex and with Lulu in it as well!! Their previous number one hit Prince Charming had Diana Dors in the video from what I can remember also too. Their other number one hit Stand and Deliver before it the video I think was filmed at the time at Hatfield House in Hertfordshire by Mike Mansfield. Well done of course!!
Thank you! I know too that the Prince Charming video was filmed at the time at Shepperton Studios in Middlesex/Surrey/South West London (am not too sure which of those?) and like the others too was swish of course!
Nice thank you for sharing
This song is so terrible it's good lmaooooo
All the albums had great production. Drums and percussion were always very creative and sounded fantastic. (It did help that Chris Hughes was one of the drummers, and a fantastic producer... ;-) )
Adam and the Ants had the best videos always oh and brilliant songs to go with.
Not my favourite of the Ant stuff ( can't stand a lot of Rap) but fantastic video and love how Adam dress up as various people and looked good as Bruce Lee.
I always felt that the gauzy soft-focus (and armor-plated knight outfit) were an homage to John Boorman's Excalibur released in 1981, the same year as the Prince Charming album and this Ant Rap single - great, groundbreaking "rap" track an signature campy music video - complete with a cute cameo by Lulu - they really don't make 'em like this anymore!
I’ll go one further. I think that was Lancelot’s armor
@@bgordon2166 Agreed!
who is the other blonde is what I'd like to know
@@crozwayne Mary Stavin
Adam looks a very convincing Bruce Lee
His mannerisms are spot on
For sure!
I have not seen this in AGES!!! I forgot all about this fun video and song!! Long live Adam & the Ants!!!
To think he did all 'this without any drink or drugs. A lot to be said for the creative powers of manic depression.
The drums and percussion though.............
That would be the two full drum kits with increadibly synced drummers.
Two drummers made them stand out
@@squiddymcsquidface3097 Would have paid money to see this live.
This is a classic!!!
I love Adam And The Ants!!!
SO DO I!!!!!!!
Dead Or Alive Fan 22 I think this song is so fun ! I love blasting this throughout the house while cleaning lol... my neighbors wonder about me I'm sure :)
Me too
So much humour prevalent in his music. The good (ie) old days when songs made you smile.
That's one of the things I've always enjoyed about his lyrics!
It's all about the drums
Adam looked gorgeous for this video.
I agree. Long-time fan here - all due credit to the Ants: m.ua-cam.com/video/wse62a8nBU0/v-deo.html
He ain't no hollaback girl.
Cannot stop laughing!
tamcon72 well we know where Gwen stefani got her influence ! That's so funny
Stefani's whole career has been doing somebody else's song and styles.
pmsl .... lol lol
He ain't no Harlem black girl, either!
People say white boys can't rap?!
Took my hard rock loving hubby to see Adam a couple years ago and he LOVED him live...said it was one of the best live performances he’s seen. The percussion and guitars blew him away...I just drooled over Adam. 💕

Before this video was made, Excalibur was watched extensively...on mute
I'm almost finished building my time machine 😊
Who would like to go back to the 80's and 90's with me 😉
When's lift off?
A mí!!,pero me quedo en los ochenta
You’re gonna need a bigger time machine ♥️
ME
Count me in 🙂
My white knight in shining amour, never arrived.
Saw him live sounded exactly the same live as he did here. AMAZING GIG..
He still does I seen him live he's still brill
Adam makes other handsome men look like shit. AATA was the band to be into back in 1981/82. Girls would like you just for liking them!! And Prince Charming is one of the best songs ever written.
He wrote this as a piss take to mock the Pop audience to see if anybody was even listening anymore ... to his horror it went to No2! In the same way Lydon wrote "This is what you want - this is what you get" and had a hit with "This is not a love song". I was there when this came out ... I laughed ... knowing what the intention was. Fodder ...
Adam and the Ants how brilliant were they . The tune, the video and the style. The fact Adam got Lulu roped in .Where have we all gone wrong?
Who is the other chick?
@@crozwayne It is Mary Stavin who was Miss World in 1977 and dated various famous people. She also appeared in a James Bond film (View to a Kill) and another Adam Ant video (Strip).
@@dan7brit138 you are right, i just checked
Mary Stavin , a former Miss World and Lulu , both former girlfiends of George Best
Still sounds wild and amazing in 2019.
So while we are on manners old Bikey. Wheres my rent book for the boiler that was condemned about three years ago
This audio remix is criminally overproduced. Hit the album version up for a far better mix.
Fantastic band...but Ant Rap was the beginning of the end
Lulu looking GORGEOUS
This video is a hot mess. And I keep watching it.
Fun fact....Ant Rap was the first rap single to hit no. 1 in the UK charts.
Didn't get number one
@@liamf7838 It didn't? Ok thanks for the correction, it's been 41 years so the memory bank may have malfunctioned!
@@denisdowling3971 number 3 think denis
@@liamf7838 Still pretty high. At the least the first Top 10 rap single in the UK.
@@liamf7838 Yep, not top 10 or top 5 but top 3, i reckon the anti anarchists statement caused those exact types to tweak the charts to ensure it wasn't number 1, they had the charts stitched up by 1985 via Live Aid and Ant wasn't invited which is just rude as they all learned from this guy.
RE Live Aid Adam was invited to take part including it's launch from Wembley stadium but after using him for publicity to get it started Geldof kicked him off favouring his boring Red Wedge supporting artists instead, Adams manager freaked at geldof threatening to cancel Sting/The Police and other acts if Ant wasn't reinstated but only got to do one song which damaged his image making him seem like a mere fading support act instead which was a load of crap.
Adam's the real winner in the end his artistic integrity intact and he doesn't even encourage taking any political side anyway, he just doesn't want anarchists hijacking the pop art scene to peddle their unwanted division and frankly crap songs anyway.
is this Farrah Fawcett in the beginning with the white dress? ..
funny - i bought the single back in the day and gave it back - cause i expected more "stand and deliver" ..
No, that's Mary Stavin. She was also in the video for "Strip" and was also a Bond Girl in "A View To A Kill".
The Video (just on it's use of "Cultural Appropriation) is Hilarious Garbage.But the song is such a bad ass Earworm..it's the Ultimate Fight Song for you and your Squad!!
I love Adam, but “Scorpios” or “Picasso” should have been the single. Not this. It’s fun, but not the best representation of this groundbreaking album.
Oh dear.....some people weren't even thought of when this came out in the 1980's. Rap is nothing new...so don't diss the past...there was a time when music didn't take itself seriously, it was done for fun.
Adams hair is truly rad here ⭐
If this doesn't make your legs move your on thorazine. 😛😛😛 Get up and move it folks !!!
Of all the songs in the universe that should be internet famous, this is one the Gods will punish us for ignoring.
How I loved that song. I even had a silver/grey pants and some other stuff. Live was fun back then.
Err, this shouldnt ve been a single rho it is amusing
I bought this single way back in 82. I forgot lulu was in the video
That football uniform he's wearing came from my high school, London Central high,on what was, at the time a US airbase in High Wycombe.
Kicks the shite out of ..Ahem , .Wham Rap ...
One of very few rap records I don't mind!
This is an absolutely terrible rap song lol
this is the only one of their songs I don't like. and the dancing in the armour 😂 even Adam ant can't be perfect all the time.
Sugarhill Gang - “we invented rap”
Adam & the Ants - “hold our beers”
😆👍
I touched Adam's calf at a show in NYC back in 1983.
