Welcome to Tunes For Tuesday!

Today’s Adam Ant pick is “Vive Le Rock” in the mid-1980’s. I’m a huge fan of both the early punk Adam and the Ants and the second more pop wave of Adam Ant. I saw Adam in concert in the fall of 2012 and he blew me away with his 2.5 hour set. The man barely took a break and rocked hard. I will definitely see him again any time I can!
I recently added this song to my running playlist and it just makes me feel lighter. Not sure why but I’m not arguing. I love this clip from Solid Gold and hope you enjoy it!
“Look Mom, I’m on top of the world!”
Are you a fan of old Adam or newer version Adam…or neither (if it’s neither, maybe you shouldn’t tell me)?
You are killing me with the Solid Gold clip!!! I love it–just wait until I point this out to Adam Dub, he will die. 🙂 I actually love this song, and you are right, there’s something about the beat that makes it a great running song (as if I’d know, ha.) But we play the ’80’s station in the studio sometimes and when it comes on, I just grin. It drives you a little harder.
I love Adam Ant! Lito and I listen to the old stuff now and then. When I was a teen I used to go dancing at the Contempo Pavillion at Magic Mountain and I dated a guy that looked just like Adam Ant. I never saw him without his makeup!
LOVED Adam Ant. So I have to ask- in 2012 was he still hot?.. You and I are definitely musical soul sisters!
We definitely are soul sisters music wise! I’m not a fan of the cheesy mustache Adam’s taken to wearing lately. He’s dropped a bit of weight since 2012 but sadly still not the sexy guy of the 80’s: http://www.contactmusic.com/story/adam-ant-heckled-at-u-k-show_4158147
If Adam Ant comes around again, I’ll definitely let you know. The show was great!
I think you have a keeper in Lito despite the cute Adam Ant boyfriend of old. 😉
I’ll make you a runner yet Susie! xoxo
