Although it wasn't until after he dumped his band of ants that Adam Ant had a hit in the U.S with Goody Two Shoes, it was songs like Stand and Deliver that scored Adam and the Ants a Best New Artist Grammy nomination. And, as is often the case in the '80s and '90s, the British had caught on to him long before we did. As great as the music was, Adam Ant was also a master in the use of the medium that was to give a face to pop music in the '80s, the music video. He was a staple of early MTV, playing a Prince Charming/Robin Hood character in such frantic, fun to watch videos as the Stand and Deliver clip. You won't see him or his contemporaries any more on MTV, as the channel is more guilty than most of turning its back on its own past. Adam Ant has continued to make music as well as get into legal disputes over the ownership of his songs. His Wonderful album definitely outshines the latest works of other early '80s acts, including Boy George's latest spin on an Iggy Pop song. Adam Ant has also made several stage appearances, as well as an appearance on Northern Exposure.

5 Guns West

Ladies can be captains and ladies can be chiefs
Just like glorious amazons, ann bonny, mary read
Ladies can be captains and ladies can be chiefs
This stuff i'm talking buddy-bob
Don't give me any grief

5 guns west

I'm a big tough man with a big tough plan
Gonna take a whirl with a big tough girl
I'm a big tough man with a big tough plan
Gonna spend my life with a big tough wife

A woman's wrath hath no man, and this all men must fear
These were ladies from hell, carving crimson careers
Ladies can be captains and ladies can be chiefs
This stuff i'm talking buddy-bob
Don't give me any grief

5 guns west

I'm a big tough man with a big tough plan
Gonna spend my day in a big tough way
I'm a big tough man with a big tough plan
Gonna take a whirl with a big tough girl

5 guns west

I'm a big tough man with a big tough plan
Gonna spend my life with a big tough wife
I'm a big tough man with a big tough plan
Gonna take a whirl with a big tough girl
Im' a big tough man and my name is stan
Gonna take a ride with my big tough bride
I'm a big tough man with a big tough plan
Gonna spend my day in a big tough way
