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.

Spanish Games

Now I don't go to much on names
No, I don't go to much on names
When there's spanish games
You can play if you want to

Always try to look our best
Frills and spanish dress
When we want to
She can be my matador
Chase me round the floor
When she wants to

Figures charge in burning red
Angels fear to tread
Should they want to
She can be my matador
Chase me round the floor
If she wants to

Never want to cruise about
Never bothered showing out
You only want to wear me out

No. I don't go to much on names
When there's spanish games
You can play if you want to
