In 1987, my old high school won a contest to have Wang Chung play a concert there. Some very amazing students were able to turn it into a fundraisier for a student that suffered a brain injury a few weeks before. The band visited the boy in the hospital, and made a big difference in his recovery.
something similar happened my Senior Year of HS , a friend of mine was sitting on the hood of someones car in the school parking lot, and he would not get off of it, so the dumb dingus in the car thought if he started to back the car up really quick, it would get my friend to get off the Hood. unfortunately, my friend fell off and hit his head, and had a serious brain injury. he used to be an "A" average student, but after he recovered , he had the mental capacity of a 8 year old 😥sadly , no bands visited his hospital room tho...
@@hellmuth26 Some kind of Asian movement or dance if you like...Wang Chung's open to any discussion or look up the supposed true definition in Wikipedia.
Anybody else sitting around and listening to one great '80s song after another? The '80s weren't without their issues, but my God, we had some excellent music!
For real, this was pre digital. Pretty sure this had to be spliced together physically. Maybe they had a splitter though. Regardless, 1000x harder than today.
I would hate to edit this even in digital, I imagine they used a switcher and had several video players going into the switcher at once and would flip the buttons on it. They still would have to go back and edit in material.
I'm a radio host on my village internet radio station playing nothing but 80's music and I can absolutely assure you this one gets played often on my show.
I remembered watching this on MTV and VH1. this should've been an award winning video. The way everything was done. This cannot be replicated. I loved Wang Chung. I'm 65 now and still love it❤❤❤❤

I believe the proper form is "wanging chung", where "wang" is the verb and "chung" is the direct object. Now, if these two words appear in the opposite order or not directly next to each other in the sentence, all bets are off. The Latin rules prevail, and you must determine the meaning of each word in relation to each other word, and by the time you've done that your language and civilization have died, and THEN where are you. Best to just *wang* that *chung* and leave well enough alone.
I agree 100% My life from 1981 until 1988 was beyond magical. Even though I lived in a small town in PA, the social scene was perfect. Great friends, great music, awesome parties and it all seemed like I was somehow caught up as a character in a movie. Each weekend I would say that there is no possible way this one could be better than the previous? Well, it was, and it kept building until it finally hit a crescendo in late 1988 when I realized I had to move on with my life (I also met this girl, she really was different than all the others, and then................true adulthood hit me like a brick wall?) I know that to dwell in the past is a bad idea but if I could find a way to go back for even a week? No stress, hardly any obligations other than my job and just living in a dream and being on top of the world?
you know everybody is going to say the time period they grew up with was fun... its literally you being young and just having new experiences ..nothing new about that with later generations you still are able to experience previous generation songs ..you tend to have a bigger library to experience really. i was born end of 80's myself but grew up in the 90's
The landlord in our office building is named Chung. When we were in the process of negotiating the lease, "Is his first name Wang?" was an FAQ. It's bad enough we sing this at the first of the month when the rent's due...

I also thought the same. I guess it depends on how the wanging of the chung occurred and if the wang was more dominant than the chung itself. In conclusion I believe you're correct due to they way he/she describes the activity.
Another perfect example of great song meets bizarre music video. Director: Ok I need you to perform this song about having fun but do it with all the enthusiasm of someone waiting impatiently for a bus. Singer: Are you sure? I don't think looking bored/pissed off really matches the tone of the song. Director: Trust me we'll add some seizure inducing strobe effects later, it'll be AWESOME!!
Beginning of the 80s Music Videos were a brand new feature. I think the singer played his part low key. I love this song and saw it back in the day. It was very "New Wave" at that time
Man, if only I had been there, @@gc4644 . The reason it's 1986 is that was the year that the single was officially released, as the lead single for the Mosaic studio album. They probably used the 1984 tour to preview material they were working on, to gauge the reaction, and to give the audience something they weren't expecting. I don't blame them. When you open for a band like The Cars, you've got to pull out all the stops to get the crowd to remember you after its over. What was it like when you all heard this in 1984? Because this sure ain't Dance Hall Days, which was their big single at the time.
@@Beatnik59 wasn’t “To Live And Die In LA” also 1984? I have “Everybody Have Fun Tonight” on a 45 single and the picture sleeve is open on the side, not the top like most 45RPM pic sleeves.

In '87 for my high school graduation, they performed at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL for Grad Night - it was a lot of fun watching them do this hit song live.
@@markvonmeding6246 They were the headline act playing in front of the castle. There were others smaller acts like "someday" by Glass Tiger and a few others, but Wang Chung was the biggest band there that late night (it was after the park closed only for students across the state)- it was a lot of fun.
@@muffs55mercury61 I felt at the time so lucky that they started doing this - grad night for high school students across the state of Florida. Unfortunately, one bad memory were some drunk students from Miami. They jumped out of "It's A Small World" ride and broke some of the figurines. As a result, when it reopened later in the evening they had people on "deck" on many of the rides, which ruined the effect to ensure more drunk students would not damage more of the rides. I have no idea if they still do it today or had to give it up sponsoring this night because of misbehaving senior graduates.
Same here. It always reminds me of when myself and my best friend were in my lounge and this came on the radio and we were playing with our Robotech toys predending they were singing haha. good times
I am Mexican, I am 24, but the 80's and the new wave drive me crazy, in my opinion the same sound may never be heard again, the music of now does not make me feel anything like Wang Chung - Every Have Fun Tonight, in a world where everything sounds the same.
Que linda epoca para haber nacido pudiste disfrutar lo mejor de la musica,a otros como yo solo les queda escuchar recuerdos 😥 pero igual me hacen sentir bien sobretodo en este tiempo que no hay mucho de donde escoger 🤷♂️
Great tune, great bass line, great horn section. Hard to imagine a more danceable song. Fantastic memory of the 80's. I always wanted to Wang Chung, just once, but this damn near gave me seizures when I watched it.
Went to the pub every Friday night, always alone. Danced this one to the same girl every Friday for a few months. Didn't know her name, one song, for a few months. That was kinda cool.
@@danielkyavata6233 my opinion is the opposite. I think the 80s were great for pop music especially because musicians from non-English countries tried to access Anglophone markets. New Wave, Synthpop, Techno and Eurobeat were pretty much continental European trends that became popular worldwide

I'm trying to envision how you lay in bed and dance like a goon, LOL!!

Awesome!!! You’re not the only one ☝️
It could be worse you could be tortured by listening to Justin Bieber..
How can one not like the intro of this song??? It´s one of the best!!!!!
I remember watching this as a kid on MTV long ago and now I'm in my 30's. What happened to time?
The older you get the faster time goes.
I remember watching it my 30’s now I’m 66…still a great song, video!
What happened to MTV? I remember when it used to have music videos too.
It wang chungged
You survived.
I don't care how many seizures I have. I'm going to make all the way to the end.
That is very positive!! Keep believing in yourself!! I support you!!

@Jason R now that's dedication to great music.
Did you make it to the end?

My neighbor loves this song. He has to hear it every time I entertain.
A fabulous song so uplifting
Thank you Wang Chung for creating this wonderful experience
Look into those lyrics. This music brings you back to your youth. That's hard not to love
In '87 for my high school graduation, they performed at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL for Grad Night - it was a lot of fun watching them do this hit song live.
That's awesome and I never say awesome
@@markvonmeding6246 They were the headline act playing in front of the castle. There were others smaller acts like "someday" by Glass Tiger and a few others, but Wang Chung was the biggest band there that late night (it was after the park closed only for students across the state)- it was a lot of fun.
You were blessed. One of the things memories are made of.Even 34 years won't diminish that.
@@muffs55mercury61 I felt at the time so lucky that they started doing this - grad night for high school students across the state of Florida. Unfortunately, one bad memory were some drunk students from Miami. They jumped out of "It's A Small World" ride and broke some of the figurines. As a result, when it reopened later in the evening they had people on "deck" on many of the rides, which ruined the effect to ensure more drunk students would not damage more of the rides. I have no idea if they still do it today or had to give it up sponsoring this night because of misbehaving senior graduates.
were they able to move fast like in the video?
CAAAAATCH A RIDEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Zypher lol..............................CAAAAATCH A RIDEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Zypher CATCH A WAAAAANG CHUUUUUUUUUUNG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Zypher Seriously? the F*ck is a wang chung?
Mdrachet5 your asking the wrong person lol
+Zypher Catch-a-gun! Guh, I'm never doing that again.
This song brings me back to my childhood years. The fun memories of the 80s.
Same here. It always reminds me of when myself and my best friend were in my lounge and this came on the radio and we were playing with our Robotech toys predending they were singing haha. good times
@@workingZen I still love Robotech!
@@grumblekin I see you too are a man of culture (or should I say.. protoculture haha) So nice to know Grumblekin 😀
I hate you Jk no I’m envious of u
Jammin Baby.......Have fun tonight!!!!
EVERYBODY HAVE FUN TONIGHT, EVERYBODY WANG CHUNG TONIGHT!!!
Wang Chung Love The 1980's
1986
this is a song that is meant to be absolutely blasted, no matter the setting or format
it needs to be blasted at the protests in china
Turn it up to 11!
Just a pulsating kick ass piece of music by a band who is top shelf good. Their music is quite addictive.
80s best era in music for sure ❤️🇦🇺
I am Mexican, I am 24, but the 80's and the new wave drive me crazy, in my opinion the same sound may never be heard again, the music of now does not make me feel anything like Wang Chung - Every Have Fun Tonight, in a world where everything sounds the same.
I don’t know what you mean, all these 80s songs sound nearly the exact same.
👍👍👍❤❤..
Wang Chung Everybody Have Fun Tonight 1986
Cocaine is a helluva drug....
Wang Chung Mosaic 1986
I was born in the 1950's and I still think the 80's had the best music.
Me, too. Born in 1953.
I’m was born in the 1990s and today’s music is… ugh…
Que linda epoca para haber nacido pudiste disfrutar lo mejor de la musica,a otros como yo solo les queda escuchar recuerdos 😥 pero igual me hacen sentir bien sobretodo en este tiempo que no hay mucho de donde escoger 🤷♂️
'59 here and couldn't agree more!
But you baby boomers did some unbelievably awesome music in the 70s too...
Sadly this song stalled on the UK pop charts back in 1986, and isn't that well known in the UK. Its such a wonderful and uplifting party song!
Great tune, great bass line, great horn section. Hard to imagine a more danceable song. Fantastic memory of the 80's. I always wanted to Wang Chung, just once, but this damn near gave me seizures when I watched it.

I can't believe a YTP introduced me to Wang Chung.
Was it "Its all at your fingertits" by cs188?
Oh hell yes.
Chris Mic Gotta love it! I came from that video aswell xD
CS's poops are filled with all sorts of genres of music, especially in the older poops.
"Morshu bombs Hyrule" led me to this song lol
Went to the pub every Friday night, always alone. Danced this one to the same girl every Friday for a few months. Didn't know her name, one song, for a few months. That was kinda cool.
love your memories
Man, I would LOVE to see Wang Chang !!!

Man...The 80`s are a trove of treasures
That and the 90s are the height of American culture. I've slowly become convinced of this!
@@danielkyavata6233 The 1950's and 1960's were pretty wonderful too.
@@danielkyavata6233 my opinion is the opposite. I think the 80s were great for pop music especially because musicians from non-English countries tried to access Anglophone markets. New Wave, Synthpop, Techno and Eurobeat were pretty much continental European trends that became popular worldwide
@@gazpachopolice7211 I remember the comment you got your name from lol. I don't think any politician ever has induced as many facepalms as Marjorie Taylor Greene.
It was the 80's, you had to be there!
Great comment.
Graduated from college in '82 - was there and it was great!
7 years old in 1980, 16 in 1989.
D P same
imagine having the technology of today in the 80s people would look at you in amazement you would be like a futuristic space man
If there is such a thing as a musical masterpiece, then this is definitely one.
I can't believe it has only 19 million views despite coming out 13 years ago... I thought something this good would have billions by now! I'm surprised!
100%
I love how the video still looks fresh, not dated as 80's - and still a great fun song!

Takes me back to my MTV days. Three thumbs up!!
Evrtybody have fun tonight...the 80s mantra. Have fun and to hell w the consquences!!
I want MY MTV! (when they actually played music)
Or, if you’re Canadian, Much Music! I remember when this came out in London, Ontario….
What are we waiting for? Let's go!
This has to be the most 80s, 80s song of all time, who else agrees.
A high contender :-)
Better than most music today.
I disagree. Music now is better.
@@integribeez4114 thanks for the laugh!
Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? By culture club is the most 80s song. How many agree?
This was the first song that I downloaded on Napster. Truly an excellent song.
I used to have a miniature pinscher and we used to pick him up and dance around with him to this song. He loved it and he'd smile.
I miss that cute little black, furry, fat bastard.
R.I.P. Rebel. You're Wang Chung-ing in Dog Heaven now...
The 70's and 80's had the BEST music 🎵🎶
I say 60’s and 80’s
@@StrokedGT And I would say 60's and 70's
I say 80s and 90s
imagine imposing a subjective view
70s 80s 90s are the best
Remember this was edited on videotape, the editor must have PTSD now.
That's just cold.
But probably true asf.
I suspect the jump cuts on Max Headroom were VT edits too.
Or seizures!
haha that is SO funny have not laughed so much in a long time... yes hahahhaaha but a fun song thanks for the good comment you are awesome .. George from Sydney Australia
VT edits aren't that hard, you just have to have the "feel" for it, like anything else with an analog nature. Take it from a veteran of that era.
An incredibly successful piece of music. The full Wang Chung
Absolute class of a song. Bring it back!
I can't help but find it amusing how it looks like everyone but the lead singer is having fun.
he looks agry
The 1980s were the days😎👍
Wang Chung Love The 1986
1986
They were Kevin they were great mate!!!
there are some songs that will forever remain inside your head no matter which decade you're in, and this is one of them. Somewhere in the middle of this, is a genius
It's now 77 minutes until 2024 and I still have never had the desire to Wang Chung.😁😁😁
Playing it now
Everybody have dial-up internet tonight.
Literally.
lol
Ok this made me actually laugh
The 80s was the best time of my life. I finished high school in 1984. You could say I danced my ass off in the 80s.
Me too.
Can you still sit down or do you need ass implants? 🤣 Danced my ass off. 🤣
The new #metoo!
#GenX
I'm 60 reminds of going to the bar back in the day ahh memories 😊
22JUN2024 - When we watched this the DAY it came out, no music video was edited like this. Monumental. Forty years later it still remains a legend.
Everybody Have Fun Tonight
I'll drive a million miles
To be with you tonight
So if you're feeling low
Turn up your radio
The words we use are strong
They make reality
But now the music's on

Good job man thanks!!!!
Doctors should use this video to test patients for epilepsy
I laughed so hard at this my abdomen is in PAIN
Say what you will, the tune slaps. Also, the editing in this video is incredible
I love the atmosphere, the time lapse and everybody hoping to stumping and mostly of all: "JAMMING!!!"

Great memories with this song.
I miss the happy and good times when this song was on power play.
Life was so uncomplicated and the music was great in the 80´s :-)
Oh the time we had during this Era! The 80’s and the British sound was like no other. My kids never experience this. It’s quite sad.
THIS SONG IS ABOUT THE LAST DAYS AND I GOT IT BACK IN 1986...ALL THE WORLD IS BABYLON A SHIP OF FOOLS SAILING ON TO HELL! WAKE UP SILLY PEOPLE...LAST DAYS ALL PRAISE THE MOST HIGH!
I was 20 at University when this dropped... My God was it a hit and heard all of the time. When the DJ spun this up the floor went CRAZY.
Back when music was fun and wang chunged
Matt Haak Wontcha tell me what a wang chung is ?
@@quad5186 are you joking or is he?
@@itspenguin7187 It's a quote (maybe not an exact one) from the song, I've forgotten where. It might be easier hearing that once-in-a-song moment with headphones. It's somewhere halfway in the background behind the primary singer.
@@quad5186 I think it might have to do with masturbating somehow. ( !!? ) 😕
Music is still fun you think all new music is lil pump and 69
Cant stop listening to this…
It’s definitely tagged on the songlist for my band!
When he said Everybody have fun tonight, I hope everyone had fun that night
Each time this song was played my nephew, age three, would shriek, "Everybody have fun tonight!" at the top of his lungs; the novelty wore-off quickly.
