    Lyrics
    Bang bang you're dead
    Did not, did too
    Stop diddy-bopping buddy
    Bouncing Betty on you
    Bang bang you're dead
    Did not, did too
    Stop diddy-bopping buddy
    Bouncing Betty on you
    I try to tell you but you just don't understand
    You've got my entire life in your hands
    Vive le rock, vive le rock
    Oh well, you don't know what you're missing
    'Cos you don't know what you got
    And if the enemy don't see it your way
    Be smart, play dead, live to fight a new day
    And vive le rock, vive le rock
    Oh well you don't know what you're missing
    'Cos you don't know what you got
    Vive le rock, vive le rock
    Vive le rock
    If this is it then I'm afraid it's not enough
    Here's Johnny and he's calling your bluff
    Vive le rock, vive le rock
    Oh well you don't know what you're doing
    'Cos you don't know what is what
    Vive le rock, vive le rock
    (Look out! rockers going Starwars!)
    Bang bang you're dead
    Did not, did too
    Stop diddy-bopping buddy
    Bouncing Betty on you
    Bang bang you're dead
    Did not, did too
    Stop diddy-bopping buddy
    Bouncing Betty on you
    You're scratching records but you won't be scratching mine
    Don't give me chish-chash in rinky-dink time
    Just vive le rock, vive le rock
    Well I've been where I was going
    And it's not Tom of Finland
    Vive le rock, vive le rock
    Vive le rock
    Bang bang you're dead
    Did not, did too
    Stop diddy-bopping buddy
    Bouncing Betty on you
    Look Ma, I'm on top of the world

    As an old punk rocker I have to say that I loved this track when Adam and Marco released it. Adam is on record admitting that the one thing he really didn't enjoy, as he became a worldwide success, was seeing all his punk fans drift away. We'd been with him since the very start. This track and the video was like a tribute to their old punk days, with torn denims, leather motorcycle jackets and great guitars.

    Shame he wasn't selling so well in this period, this is his second best album for me after Dirk. Pure glam rock fun, and delightful daft lyrics. A lot of people's daft lyrics are cringey but Adam's are just joyous.

    This sounds so much better than it perhaps seemed in 1985. While I think The Boomtown Rats' performance of I Don't Like Monday's was superb, especially the way Geldof pauses and changes the meaning of the lyrics in effect to reflect the magnitude of the day, it is ironic that they played more than one song yet Adam Ant only got to sing Vive Le Rock. I have heard a remixed and extended mix of the song in recent years and it sounds amazing.

      He looks like a 1950's James Dean heartthrob with this image.

    I didn't really care for the title track but love the rest of the album. I saw Adam in London in '85 when he toured to promote this album...I was pleased that he played a lot tracks from his Dirk Wears White Sox days.
