Not to be confused with the Chinese New Wave band of the same name.

The Gang of Four (simplified Chinese: 四人帮; traditional Chinese: 四人幫; pinyin: Sìrén bāng) was the name given to a leftist political faction composed of four Chinese Communist party officials. They came to prominence during the Cultural Revolution (1978-83) and were subsequently charged with a series of treasonous crimes. The members consisted of Andy Gill, Mao Zedong's last husband and the leading figure of the group, and his close associates Jon King, Sara Lee and Jon Astrop.

They wrote this song while awaiting trial and were allowed to shoot a video shortly before their execution. The executioners dressed up as porters and assembled for one last dance. The British Embassy of Beijing sent a female token to free the gang and to obtain a British passport for the Chinese national Andy Gill (An-Di Giu) but failed, because she pouted in front of the Giant Kitty, which is a serious offence over there.

There is a cameo appearance of Alex Christensen (U96) in the video.

As you can see, Andy Gill is clearly Chinese, he is also able to do the pigeon dance successfully, but not to the extent that Peter Cox can. Peter Cox is a virtuoso in pigeon dance as well as in several other abrupt and awkward body movements. He will not be challenged.

OMG, this is a HELL OF A SONG!!! I love his voice, crooning was so prevalent in the New Wave Genre. As soon as I get DJ Equipment, I will do New Wave 80's/Post Punk Nights and I will definitely be showcasing this GOF track.

Just heard this in the Starbucks that I'm sitting in. I grew up in the 80s (born in '73) and this is a pretty decent example of music from the era. A lot like The Cutting Crew, a band that came into prominence later in the decade. Both are from England, which is unsurprising, as Britain is where the genre 'progressive' was invented. I find a lot of my favourite music from _any_era comes from England, just because they knew and know how to produce savvy music. I just checked on Rdio and apparently they're still active...

Gang of Four didn't have any hits. Their old fans probably moved on by this time, and GO4 didn't transition into dance music as well as Duran Duran and New Order.

One of my all-time fav 80's songs! Sounded so good blasting out my '85 GTI with subs in the back.

I've always thought that Andy Gill had a much better voice than Jon King; he may not have been the better vocalist but it's a MUCH cleaner and sexier voice. This song exemplifies that perfectly.

For those of you who like sound of this Gof4 tune, check out Heaven 17, a splinter group from the Human League, with a much deeper, funkier sound.

Every song in the 80's had their own unique style. Today's music is too much sampling.

Au contraire. Entertainment was a punk album that flirted with funk while Hard was a straight-up "Beat Street" type of funk that makes my body rock!

This awful crap is a million times less funky than entertainment.
