"ANT-MUSIC":

🔸"Antmusic" is a song by English rock band Adam and the Ants, released as the third single in the UK in 1980 from the album Kings of the Wild Frontier (released 3 November 1980).

🎵Well, I'm standing here looking at you...🎵

➡"Antmusic" peaked at No. 2 in the UK in January 1981, being held off the top by the re-release of John Lennon's "Imagine" after his murder in New York City on 8 December 1980. In Australia, the single spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Kent Music Report and earned the band platinum certification for sales of over 100,000 copies.

✔Q: Is it true that you almost died while filming the “Antmusic” video?

🌟ADAM: "There’s one second in the video where I point to this jukebox, with a wooden side to it. I wanted a knife thrower to throw a knife and stick in the side of the jukebox. The first (throw) – I’ve got bad eyesight and I didn’t see it – missed the jukebox and went quite close to my head. I didn’t really think about it. I found out after that it actually happened. I don’t know. I was lucky to get away from that one."

🎵The Music Video:

🎥The music video to "Antmusic" featured the group playing in a discothèque with a giant juke box, and persuading the young audience to turn away from disco music and dance to the new-styled 'Antmusic'.

🎬The music video was directed by Steve Barron.

“Ridicule is nothing to be scared of.” WELL. FINALLY broke in the new studio space! I’m going to continue my black and white tributes into the new year, but I’m also plotting another big project. His Royal Antness will be up first? Watch this space?!? Anyway! Pride. Courage. Humour. Flair. How could I fit, “Apollo 9 Should Have Been a Huge Decade Spanning Hit Along With the Rest of the Singles” onto one solitary badge?? Suggestions welcome.
