When Adam disbanded the Ants in 1982, the guitarist, the bassist and drummer joined Anabella Lwin and formed Bow Wow Wow. It all turned out for the better!

Obviously,you dont know your timeline with the band.Those "Ants" you are talking about gapped it with Malcom McLaren in 1980 to form Bow Wow Wow,long before 1982,but Adam recruited a much better version of the "Ants" (dont get me wrong,I loved everything Bow Wow Wow did),but "The Kings Of The Wild Frontier" Ants were IT ! You were right in saying that it was for the better,just got your years wrong

Legends over here in Ol' Blighty. Iconic almost beyond compare. Adam [Stuart Goddard] nearly did himself a mischief during the filming of this video, when he leaped off of that tree branch at the beginning, as he was far higher off the ground than he expected to be. Thankfully, no harm done. Had a different image for each release from his Prince Charming album. And then Malcolm McLaren stole his band to form Bow Wow Wow, leaving Adam to change tack and pursue a [highly successful] solo career with some new recruits and his remaining Ant, Marco. A few years later he appeared in one of my favourite TV shows from America, the legendary Sledge Hammer!, playing the rogue The Pelican - great episode! This is a great song in a superb oeuvre.

I'm an 80s kid, but first heard this song in the aughts while stationed in Germany, listening to a Live365 channel.

My first concert was Adam Ant in 1984. I was 11.

He always had that 17th century fashion. The punk rock was still in

Fucking legend! Women wanted him and men wanted to be him! Some of the best original and unique music to ever come out of the 80’s or any other decade for that matter. It was such a great time to be a teenager!!!

This is the "Romantics" genre. Androgynous post punk music. Love his looks.

Da-diddly-qua-qua. That was one purdy boy alright.

Saw Adam and the Ants in concert 1982. Was an amazing gig and still got all the vinyl

Inspired jack sparrow and Rick mayall doing Lord Flashheart in Blackadder.

I caught my great-grand mother rocking-out to his videos. dirty old gal! LOL

I love the drum beats to this song, especially during the chorus

I agree that Adam was very good with the old facial expressions and you always got the feeling that deep down he was a really nice person.

Cant deny talent can you

Some girls in college loved this its taken me years but i find myself in agreement with them.

I've seen the vid a million times so it was a real pleasure to watch you and your obvious appreciation. Great upload. Thank you!

So many memories with this song. Adam ant, The B52s and the plasmatics will always be big standouts from the 80s for me. Love this song by the way❤️

thank you so much for posting this , more adam ants please

your going punk! love it

My absolutely favorite band/singer of all time. I even have their logo tattooed on me. He's still gorgeous after all these years

Hahaha!!! He is and that tattoo is wild.

I was about 10 when this came out. I loved it.

Lol i used to love adam and ants way back when so much so that i used to have a replica hussar jacket and all and with my hair curled up i used to look amazinly just like adam when i was younger i remember going out one night and not having any white marker for the white stripe so i used a thick layer of toothpast (being an idiot when young comes naturally lol) wow did that sting for the next week, great song great times thanks for the reminder of some fun days. love to all.

I love the fact you are dancing with this best review of any song ever love you huge Ants fan myself ❤

Such a brilliant 3 albums, this and Dirk are perfect.

She's quite literrally drooling when he comes on the screen.

The guitar in this song reminds me of the album London Calling. Its got that Brand New Cadillac sound. The guitar has that same bite and that huge reverb sound. It sounds just like it.

So much fun!!!! He’s still making music, and his costumes are part of a permanent museum exhibition! Briefly dated my older sister in the 90’s

Cat is so cute as a fan girl! Adam is still touring. Actually, you've got to see him live, he's amazing.

I think Johnny Depp must have modelled himself on Adam Ant 😂😂

This is my first video of yours. Watched someone have a confused reaction to Stand ard Deliver. Then this popped up and I saw your smile, so I gave it a go and was happy to hear the enthusiasm for it. Love the story about painting the war stripe on your face. Please do Antmusic so that we can all rejoin his insect nation.

and somehow he's even more gorgeous *without* the make-up! check out the video for Can't Set Rules About Love

prince charming video is a blast as well

Loved adam and the ant real British pomp back in the day , fun fact did you know the women in the carriage is amanda donohoe who was in LA Law in the early 90s and played in the first lesbian kiss on US tv , love seeing go back in time such a uplifting song

I totally agree!!! They were phenomenal!

I saw him play live about 3 years ago when he played the whole Kings of the Wild Frontier album, and he looks EXACTLY like Jack Sparrow now. The performance was amazing by the way. He still keeps the whole audience mesmerised and even my 2 daughters, aged 19 and 27 at the time, were blown away.

Love this!!! Super and finally a channel for us gen xers!!! Super

The Adverts- Gary Gilmore's Eyes

went to watch him last week amazing

Great song, fun video. Their first no1. Part of the inspiration was supposed to be the Dick Turpin TV series which was a hit at the time, the lady in the coach was Adams girlfriend at the time Amanda Donohoe who also featured in the 'Ant Music' video

Play Kings of the Wild Frontier 💕

Top tune, you keep picking them Cat! Dog eat Dog and Kings of the Wild Frontier were great tunes as well.

a-dilly-qua-qua

Can you do a video on the underrated number 1 80s soul singer Lisa Stansfield? She has hits like All around the world You can't deny it Jackie , with Bluezone People hold on, with Coldcut Change Time to make you mine Set your loving free Never never gonna give you up The line The real thing A little bit of heaven Treat me like a woman And more ...

Sarai is the wife of Adam, professors of Rock

Saw him a few years ago here in the UK , still got it

hi Cat the scene where Adam smashes through the window went wrong it was supposed to be sugar glass but they put real glass in and he cut his back

Absolutely! The new British Invasion was the best thing to happen to the 80’s!!! 😁👍👍👍

Holy S***, An Adam Ant reaction. Thank You Thank You Thank You. I Love Adam and the Ants and never see reactor s doing any of their music. Adam had the sexy Swagger that women loved and the guys all wish they had. I would say "Room at the Top" and "Wonderful" are 2 of his best, and "Goody Two Shoes" his most popular (even though Adam actually ended up hating that song). Prince Charming is cool as well, who am I kidding, I love the entire Adam Ant library. Stay Awesome.

Great reaction as always. I still have both their albums on original vinyl. If I remember correctly it's at the end of this song where he makes the transition into his Prince Charming phase.

You would have loved nightclubs in the UK during the Eighties. I was 17 when they disbanded but remember them well.

I love that deep " OH! " if that's what they're saying. It's like the punch line for the whole chorus. It wouldn't be complete without it!

Johnny Depp character lol. I was around 13 or 14 when this came out

That lip gloss though!!! And your welcome from are county to your's!!!🤘🏻🔥🇬🇧

Hi Darling....special 80s Song.....LOVE THIS....I must a Lullabey :-)

I read somewhere that when Adam did the crashing through the window scene, he badly injured his knee and had to go to hospital:(

Some reviewers didn’t even know it was about highwaymen or know what they were. Well done for treating this as FUN whereas others are left in confusion - such is the level of ignorance today and close-mindedness today.

So cool watching your beautiful smiling face so thoroughly enjoying this amazing song and video :-)

I was four or five when this came out wanted to be Dick Turpin or Prince charming... first album I bought was Wham 'Make it big' - sadly I am straight. Loved 'frankie' too.

Adam Ant being Capt Jack Sparrow way before Jonny Depp. :) Look at the gestures,.. I wonder if Mr. Depp was an Adam Ant fan....:)

I went to their concert in 84'..Adam was so HOT!!!!

my big sister,s fav singer oy vey was not a fan . but this is a nice video to look back on .When Mtv played music videos .

I always wanted to dress like Adam Ant

Perhaps you can do some reaction videos for The Smiths and Morrissey?

I heard this si g for the first time yesterday

adam and the ants they are a great band really wonderful i remember when i listened continuously (ant music) orgasm music adam a created wonderful music in this band everything was perfect music look extravagance and i really like adam's way of dancing ant moves in spectacular way adam ant he is a great artist i really like the version of ( stand and deliver ) of the album ( prince charming ) also the song ( prince charming ) its absolutely beautiful with that really captivating refrain also the cover of the album ( prince charming ) it's wonderful adam is a great artist and also marco pirroni and all the other ants who played with him hello to all adam and the ants fans in the world this music will live forever in my mind in my heart forever as long as i live i will listen adam ant greetings from northern italy the thing we italians can be very proud of is our cuisine believe me here in italy we eat really well also the cuisine is a great art just like music if someone could kindly tell me how many couples in 1981 albums ( prince charming ) have been sold in england and how many pairs of the album ( kings of the wild frontier ) have been sold in england also in 1981 i hope someone will be able to answer me thanks

Deutscher girls ....by AATA , just a pity it was again another end of 70's song, but it's where the band came from to where they ended up that's interesting
