80's Guilt #29: Wang Chung “Dance Hall Days” (1984)
Most people are unaware this song and the abysmal "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" are by the same band. There was a good Thomas The Dancing Bug comic about 10 years ago which had some history on the catchphrase Everybody Wang Chung Tonight which we assumed was a joke and not a genuine catchphrase.
Apparently this is included in GTA: Vice City, and thank god for videogames or else half of the world's 80's music would never have been embraced by nearly as many young people (for better or worse).
This song has not one, but two horrible videos, and so we chose one at random.
TASTE MY KIDS is a digital newsletter compiling recommendations for a happier and healthier existence, most often in the form of "best-of" lists, youtube posts, album or movie reviews, and various scribblings. We lived on Geocities starting in August 2000. In January 2009, times got tough and posts were on hiatus until a new host could be located. Geocities eventually died anyway, and now we live on blogspot. True story.
