I've never heard of them.#3: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Apr 22, 2011 [SPOILER]
They were very popular in the 80's.Check for them on u-tube.Look for Safety Dance video you might remember the song.#4: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Apr 22, 2011
Curious, indeed :) Great minds think alike, I guess.#5: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Apr 22, 2011
Yeah I guess so,I don't know about you but i loved this band. Oh they're from Quebec,by the way.#6: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Apr 22, 2011
well when men dont wear their "hats" they arent being very "safe" in their "dance" are they?#7: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Apr 22, 2011
(blushing)
It's not like they're break dancing.or going through a mosh pit.lol.#8: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Apr 23, 2011
a "mosh pit" is one way to describe it i guess but dont let your wife know what you called it#9: Leigh Cousins (pog) on Apr 23, 2011
haha
The song was written as a sarcastic response to authorities that banned a mosh pit at a gig.#10: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Apr 23, 2011

Oh! That's what this is about. Cool puzzle.#12: annalivia (annalivia) on Apr 24, 2011 [SPOILER]

Thx Brian.#14: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Apr 24, 2011
Yep Quebec,they're a great band.#15: Teresa K (fasstar) on May 4, 2011
I love that song. I had forgotten the band's name though. Funny that the lead singer, who was born in the US and grew up in Canada, sings with a British accent. I always thought they were from the UK.#16: bugaboo (bugaboo) on May 4, 2011
:-D @ bugaboo.

i was beginning to wonder if anyone would get it
ick... vegemite sandwich!#18: Andrew Schultz (blurglecruncheon) on Jan 4, 2023 [SPOILER]
Pop Goes the World is a catchy song of theirs too.#19: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Jan 5, 2023 [SPOILER]
There's also a Literal Video of Men Without Hats that has an off-color lyric or two, so I won't link it, but those who remember the video will see why it's a good target for them.
Total Eclipse of the Heart is sort of the gold standard. Again, potentially offensive lyrics, so whoever wants, can google it.
Here's an updated link to the Safety Dance video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p_BvaHsgGg.#20: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Jan 5, 2023 [SPOILER]I *think* this should work to embed it here:
The vegemite sandwich that BT mentioned earlier is from the Men At Work song "Down Under." I had not seen this video before. It has captions that made sense of a *ton* of song lyrics that I had misheard in this song -- its an entire city of mondegreens here:#21: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Jan 5, 2023https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfR9iY5y94s
(To embed a video, view it on Youtube and click on "Share" and then "Embed". That brings up a pop-up with some HTML code in it. Copy that to here, and check the box for "Interpret as HTML text" -- and you have an embedded video.)#22: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jan 5, 2023
You may be the only person with that checkbox. (And that might be a good thing. So many exploits)#23: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Jan 6, 2023
Joe -- I just checked it from a test account on the staging site, and you are right, the HTML checkbox is not there; it's only on admin accounts, which I had not noticed until now. I agree that it's probably just as well, but I wish everybody could post photos and other fancy stuff.
