I find that there are some songs I only need to listen to the first few bars of, and I am instantly amused. A little bit more by Dr Hook for instance, and pretty much anything by Wang Chung. Did you get the title reference? Yes, a clever acknowledgement of their party time classic "Everybody Have Fun Tonight (everybody Wang Chung Tonite)". I recall reading a Real Groove article some years ago. Some pompous mutt was reviewing the latest NIN album, the Fragile at that time I suppose. He was talking about how he had created a music video for the tracks in his head. He was mentally playing it as he strutted down K road, in all liklihood a tinny whine emitted from his Ipod headphones as he posed. Can one pose while in motion?
Today as I walked to work listening to Wang Chung I could not but wish that I had facilities to make my own music video for it. I have not done the choreography or anything, but I planned to have a team of dancers in pastel toned shell suits, with particularly pithy lyrics printed on them a la Wham's Wake Me Up (before you go-go) T-shirts.
