...Ants Marching--Dave Matthews Band
Le Roi Des Fourmis--Michel Polnareff
Antmusic--Adam and the Ants
Michael Mills talks about "Adam and the Ant" and Bow Wow Wow
Baby, Oh No--Bow Wow Wow
If I get a chance in the future, I'll try and play that Michael Mills bit...it's an amusing time trip back to the days when religious folks were on the lookout for 'satanic music' and one of the ways to get people to hear how satanic this music was, was to naturally, play the 45 rpm songs at 33 1/3 rpm (often rendering the lyrics even MORE unintelligible)...and of course those songs suddenly sound more evil, with those slowed-down voices and such..."Baby, Oh No" is my favorite song of Bow Wow Wow's...just great rhythmic pop, (of course, it has that satanic Burundi beat!) with a melody that sounds like updated girl group at its base, really.
