Midnight Media Cafe - Stand and Deliver

A change of direction:

Stand and Deliver - Adam and the Ants

What's the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking?


First of all, SHUT UP.

Second, okay, he's crap at lip-synching. But such style! I found Adam very sexy and liberating when I encountered his music back in the 80's, what with his costumes and war paint and songs about pride and personal style and hot fucking. Plus, he was a very hot presence onstage, believe me. (Got to see him at a club gig here in L.A. during his heyday.)

This song is a hotness, especially since I've always had a soft spot for the poem The Highwayman.

Yum.

NO SHUTTING UP FROM ME.

I adore A&TA. Always have. ANT MUSIC!

Unplug the jukebox,
and do us all a favor
That music's lost its taste so
Try another flavor!

Heehee. He was such a yum. Much more fun than fucking Geldof, who came on after him.

Oh, YES.

Thank you for this - I went on a youtube ramble for other Ant Music after watching it! :) MMM Stand and Deliver, Prince Charming, etc :D

You're welcome! Gotta spread the Ant Love.

I loved Adam back in the day, and this is classic. However, looking at this now, I see echoes in Johnny Depp's Sparrow. Isn't that funny?

You're right! The braids and the eyeliner. Men can look so damn hot in makeup; why can't they get that?

I *heart* Adam Ant, and this song in particular. And yes, the look! Yum.

If you haven't seen Marie Antoinette (Sofia Coppola's version, with Kirsten Dunst), I highly recommend it. Coppola deliberately had one of the male characters costumed to look like Adam Ant in the Stand & Deliver video. :D
