huh?

Not sure who "men without hats" are but I do know the kids in the hall are canadian if that matters any at all. I try not to bog myself down with details and just blame EVERYTHING on the canadians.

Rochard 05-28-2004 10:07 AM

I was afraid of this. I'm getting old.

Men Without Hats sang one of the worst songs of the 80's called "Safety Dance". It's a classic.

I just found it they were a Canadian band - didn't know that - and thought I'd come over to X Nations and have some fun with it.

Am I that old?

Panky 05-28-2004 10:17 AM

Then I guess I'm "old" too then because I recognized the name and the damn "Safety Dance" song started rattling around my head.

They are from Montreal too.

sweet7 05-28-2004 10:33 AM

I crack up whenever this song comes on. It's great!


We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance

McAttack 05-28-2004 11:00 AM

HAhaha! Come on, they had dancing midgets in the video, that ROCKS!

Rochard 05-28-2004 12:03 PM

dancing midgets are always good!

Why was it "one of the worst" ? IIRC, people liked it, people danced on it, etc.

What makes it "one of the worst" ? I can think of a lot of others that were much worst.

Ever heard Céline Dion's "une colombe est partie en voyage", the song that she sung when the Pope visited Montreal?

I know that darn song because during my university days, the 11 years old girl living next door from me in my cheap appartment was signing it ten times a day, off pitch and all. THAT's a worst song...

Evil Chris 05-28-2004 02:52 PM

I never understood the line....

"Everybody look at your hands." :confused:

ok I know that song very well but had no clue who sang it or what its name was.

Gruntled 05-28-2004 10:22 PM

I remember them. I was always sure that they were Brits. I seem to remember a local DJ saying something to that effect way back when...

-=HUNGRYMAN=- 05-29-2004 12:55 AM

Nope ..... Montréalers mon ami :D

I didn't start watching MTV till about 1990:( Late bloomer

Gruntled 05-29-2004 06:59 AM

I never got the "everybody look at your hands" line, either. It didn't really fit any other lyrics...

Many people thought they were Brits because they got a recording deal in Britain first. No recording company in Canada wanted them.

Ever take a good long look at your hands while you're under the influence of a happy drug? LOL


Damn! I didn't know those guys were Canadian.. and from Montreal, to boot! We usually make better music than that!

Now I have that song in my head too!!

Didn't they also do "Pop Goes the World"? If you thought the Safety Dance was a bad song...
