Men Without Hats Freeways (Euromix)

DOWNLOAD SONG http://bit.ly/bhz3TC

The new wave synth pop collective Men Without Hats were formed in 1980 by brothers Ivan and Stefan Doroschuk. Ivan was the leader of the group, writing the majority of the songs and providing the lead vocals; Stefan was the guitarist; and other members changed frequently throughout the course of the group's career. They independently released their debut EP, Folk of the '80s, in 1980; it was reissued the following year by Stiff in Britain. During 1982, the band consisted of Ivan, Stefan, another brother Colin Doroschuk (keyboards), along with drummer Allan McCarthy; this is the lineup that recorded Men Without Hats' 1982 debut album, Rhythm of Youth. Taken from their debut, the single "The Safety Dance" became a major hit, peaking on the American charts at number three in 1983. Driven by an insistent three-chord synthesizer riff, the song was one of the biggest synth pop hits of the new wave era. The group wasn't able to exploit its success, however. Folk of the '80s (Part III) stalled at number 127 on the charts in America and made even less of an impact in other parts of the world. Thanks to the minor-hit title track, 1987's Pop Goes the World was a bigger success, yet it didn't recapture the audience their first album had gained. Released two years later, The Adventures of Women & Men Without Hate in the 21st Century failed to chart, as did its follow-up, 1991's Sideways. The two albums' lack of success effectively put an end to Men Without Hats' career.

They've been playing shows lately and recording new stuff. I saw them at the Greek on Friday night (8/30/13) and it was awesome. They played a track off the new album and it's at least as good as their classic synth stuff. You can hear it on the youtubes it's called Head Above Water.

@tallmuslim14 "Pop goes the World" has a weird video but it's a great song. In fact, the chorus is still sung today with many different lyrics by soccer fans of different clubs in Europe, at least, at the stadiums, including Real Madrid.
