    I used to hate the comparison between the two, as a very long time Afam Ant fan. But there is no denying it, now. I saw a video of Johnny on stage recently and couldn't believe how much they looked and sounded alike. Then, I happened to come across Johnny Depp in a Stetson hat, among knit caps, etc., etc., etc. Same man, just different eras! (PS, Adam has a pic of Johnny hanging on his bulletin board in his office). ❤️

    The whole video was a sort of send-up of the whole highwayman phenomenon of 1700’s Britain, the most notorious being Dick Turpin. Stand And Deliver was a common cry of highwaymen as the held up coaches for robbery at the time. Adam Ant was well known for his flamboyant dress sense and was an advocate for being original and expressive in appearance, and that you shouldn’t care what other people think. This is epitomised in his song Prince Charming with the lyrics “Prince Charming/Prince Charming/Ridicule is nothing to be scared of/Don't you ever, don't you ever/Stop being dandy, showing me you're handsome.” So I think that this song about the dandy highwayman is along the same vein, pouring scorn on those who conform and have no flair or originality. As for the “diddly qua qua”, I think this is just a load of nonsense words to provide a break from actual lyrics, similar to the use of musical filler like “shoobie-doobie-doo” or the more simplistic “la la la” used in a number of songs through the years. This is one of the earliest music videos I can remember and had a vibrant impact on my four-year-old self. And I have to say, even though I’m a happily married straight guy, is not Adam Ant beautiful in this video? I think so! 🐜🎶😀

    This music was part of the 'New Romantic' era, a glam, dandified reaction to the previous scruffy, big booted Punk music era. Adam created a pantomime character and fantasy figure. A return to pure pop, this song is not really meant to be analysed, but he's saying dress up, be flamboyant, you don't need to act tough and violent. He mentions other music trying to be too deep when this should just be showbiz. He's basically teasing those with no style, and introducing his band and saying follow us. Adam's band were The Ants, 'join our insect nation' and be our fans.

    Great reaction. This is 39 years old from 1981, and I love the way he's only interested in stealing their limelight and not interested in their belongings. This song really complimented the whole New Romantic trend of the time. The New Romantics didn't follow trends, they made them and this for me was definitely a swipe at how boring society was and how boring the music scene was. Duran Duran, Soft Cell, Spandau Ballet, Visage and later Culture Club were all part of that scene. Fantastic year for music xx

    “Goody Two Shoes” was a hit when he left the Ants and went out on his own as Adam Ant. (As opposed to Adam and the Ants). This song was off the Prince Charming album and is one of my personal favourites but he’s probably best known for the Kings of the Wild Frontier album. Every song is a banger but the most well known song would be “Antmusic”. I saw Adam Ant play about three years ago and he was still amazing even though he is now in his 60’s and looks remarkably like Jack Sparrow!

    “Stand and deliver, your money or your life”, was the classic line a highwayman would say when holding up a coach. Dick Turpin was the most famous highwayman.

    I remember when at school Adam stormin the scene , he seemed to be played non stop and be on the tv all the time, all the boys wanted to be him, handsome and fun with a touch of madness like Madness, we boys would try to dress like him stick plasters across our noses to mimic him.

    Prior to recording his second album as Adam and the Ants, he asked producer Malcolm McLaren (manager of The Sex Pistols) to manage his band, who instead took his backing band to form Bow Wow Wow. Ant regrouped with new members, including Marco Pirroni to release his second album Kings of the Wild Frontier (1980). It reached number one in the UK Album Chart, spawned three hit singles and the album was the UK number one selling album in 1981 (and the 48th best seller in 1980) and won Best British Album at the 1982 Brit Awards. He released his third and final album with the group, Prince Charming (1981), which spawned two UK number one singles "Stand and Deliver" and "Prince Charming". Stuart Goddard was born in Marylebone, London. He was the only child of Leslie Alfred Goddard and Betty Kathleen Smith. His father had served in the Royal Air Force and worked as a chauffeur, and his mother was an embroiderer for Norman Hartnell.[3]:4 His home was two rooms in De Walden buildings, St John's Wood.[3]:5 He recalls: "There was no luxury, but there was always food on the table.” He is of partial Romani descent; his maternal grandfather, Walter Albany Smith, was Romanichal.[3]:10 This heritage became a basis for a theme in his later work: a concern for oppressed minorities. His parents divorced when Goddard was seven years old[3]:35 and his mother supported him by working as a domestic cleaner, briefly working for Paul McCartney.[ In 2003, the television special titled The Madness of Prince Charming[35] was aired in the UK documenting Ant's career and his struggle with mental illness (he was diagnosed as suffering from bipolar disorder).

    His band were called The Ants, hence Adam & The Ants. Then Adam went solo and became Adam Ant. The Ants went on to form the group, BOW WOW WOW with lead singer Anabella. Listen to “I Want Candy” by BOW WOW WOW, and you can hear the similarities in the sounds of both bands. The drum beats are very tribal in sound.

    Probably hasn't heard of the phrase "Stand and deliver" either, but it's also unlikely that young Brits have. Not sure why the popular interest in highwaymen has waned. There seemed to be lot of interest in the UK culture during the 1970s and early 1980s; maybe it was a different way of retelling the "robber as hero" story that was repopularised in the 1950s and 1960s with those garish Robin Hood TV and film productions.

    @@hardtohandleweddingbandent8653Yes, "Stand and deliver" was an old way of saying "Hand over your valuables" by highwaymen. A few hundred years ago, my family was in the horse stealing business, but they quickly expanded into the highwayman business. They had an organization, which covered all the British colonies which were to become the United States. Sometime around the time of American independence or as late as The Enlightenment of the very early 1800's, we got religion, and the gang was dissolved.

    You have to remember Adam Ant (real name Stuart Goddard)was born out of the punk era and as such there is that attitude there. Stand & Deliver was the popular saying by Highwaymen of the 18th Century in England of which Dick Turpin was the most infamous. The insect nation refers to his and his bands name and the make up is in line with a Native American look.

    If you like this video, then try both Prince Charming and Ant Rap for a spectacle. For the music, try Kings of the Wild Frontier, Ant Music and their debut single (in this lineup) Dog Eat Dog. This was his short-lived Dandy Highwayman phase, these were mounted robbers in ye olde England - the most famous was Dick Turpin. Don't take the video too seriously though, it's pure pantomime...
