Men Without Hats I Got The Message

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.

I Played this over n over in many Clubs-Mostly the Long Version, but I still say it's about taking it up the Butt, as in All Anal... Just dig the Lyrics-'It's Long N Hard--this Route--Route to Mars... Long N Hard ( It's got to Be about It or just Sex--get down on all fours--that's an Obvious 1--Anyone else think I'm Stoned or What--The Words are at the Least provocative) --Also Agree though--Likely the single most Under Rated Act to ever hit Canada--And like others say---If not Mistaken they Still Play Live all over the World... 2 this very day... Cheers W1
