Baxie's Musical Podcast: Jack Hues from Wang Chung

Lyrics by Wang Chung

Meet me in a restaurant
Meet me on the top of the world
Meet me and we'll talk
The language of love

I'll meet you anywhere you want
I'll meet you on a ballroom floor
Meet me and we'll float
To a level above

I wish you'd drop
What you're doing
And get on the case
We could blow this existence
Right out into space
And share a sweet isolation

Let's go there today
Go today, go today
Every way, anyway

Oh, let's go
Let's go, baby
Let's go, baby, come on
Let's go, baby
Let's go, baby, come on

Take your cue from now
I'm saying, baby, let's go
Will you listen to me
I'm saying, baby, come on now
Let's go 'cause
We can't hold back no more
There's no way

Meet you on a mountain top
I'll meet you at the end of the block
As long as we can talk
The language of love

I'll take you in my arms again
I'll take you to the edge of time
Together we can reach
For the heavens above

I wish you'd drop what you're doing
And get on the case
So we could blow this existence
Right out into space
And share a sweet isolation

Let's go there today
Go today, go today
Every way, right away
Oh, let's go
Let's go, baby
Let's go, baby, come on
'Cause baby I want your love
Let's go, baby
Let's go, baby, come on
'Cause baby I'm sayin'

Take your cue from now
I'm saying, baby, let's go
Will you listen to me
I'm saying, baby, come on now
Let's go 'cause
We can't hold back no more
There's no way

Meet me on the dance floor
And we'll dance to the rhythm
(Dance to the rhythm)
Get your feet in motion
And we'll dance to the rhythm
Dance to the rhythm
Dance to the rhythm of love, whoa

Oh, let's go
Let's go, baby
Let's go, baby, come on
'Cause baby I want your love
Let's go, baby
Let's go, baby, come on
'Cause baby I'm sayin'
Take your cue from now
I'm saying, baby, let's go
Will you listen to me
I'm saying, baby, come on now
Let's go 'cause
We can't hold back no
Let's go 'cause
We can't hold back no
Let's go 'cause
We can't hold back no more
There's no way

Let's go, baby
Let's go, baby, come on
Let's go, baby
Let's go, baby, come on

Let's go, baby
Let's go, baby, come on
Let's go, baby
Let's go, baby, come on

Let's Go

Are you captivated by the synth-driven tunes of the 80s and the visionary world of ‘Blade Runner’? Imagine, for a moment, Wang Chung’s ‘Dance Hall Days’ reverberating through the neon-lit, rain-slicked streets of that dystopian universe. That’s precisely the soundscape I’ve endeavored to recreate. This project, born out of sheer curiosity and a dash of nostalgia, is my ode to an era and a film that continues to inspire. Dive into this auditory adventure, and I hope it resonates with you as much as it does with me.

1982 Revisited. Tommy is still recovering from yet another autoimmune disease, but he’s asked us to rethink his sax licks for Huang (sic.) Chung’s ’Dance Hall Days.’ He never got the credit deserved for his contribution to that hit from the 1980s, made up on the spot when he arrived late for a recording session. C’est la vie, C’est la guerre, C’est le Rock’n’Roll. Without Tommy’s ‘steam saxes’ he and Dáithí have had to rely on Yamaha YDS-150 and YDS-120 digital saxes to create the horn section. Nothing of them is quantised or sequenced, which is why one of them plays a bum note on the outro, but we liked it, so kept it in. Forty-three years later we’ve taken a harmonically and stylistically different approach to these licks, recalling the popularity of dub reggae back in our formative years, not forgetting ubiquitous tape echo and ever-present threats of racist violence. Even the Huang’s used the Roland RE-201 Space Echo for their earlier live shows, before digital took over. Springs and magnetic tape – Ah! those were the days. Before that we used to rig up two Revox machines to create tape delay for our electroacoustic dub experiments at the Edinburgh Fringe and Albany Empire in 1979. Tommy assures us that these and the other musical quotes (Spencer Davis Group and Cream) are legally unproblematic as either he owns the copyright (uncredited) or the music can be readily compared with ‘prior art’. This adapted title is ever so clever, huh!

Dancehall Days

The other name I considered was "Your favorite ego maniac." 
Maybe another day.
I dunno, I hope we get a proper Huang Chung remaster with bonus tracks some day. But I don't want to bug Jack on twitter. It doesn't seem very productive, please don't do that.
