As far as band signature songs which are also insatiable earworms from the Decade of Decadence go, right up there in the upper echelon is new wavers Wang Chung ’s “Everybody Have Fun Tonight.” It went all the way up to No. 2 on the charts in 1986, and the visually groundbreaking video was in constant rotation on MTV .album producer/J. Geils Band frontman Peter Wolf—Hues memorably uses the band’s name as a sort-of synonym for “party” in the chorus.

Hues believe that part of that reason is Wang Chung was signed directly to American label Geffen Records rather than a British one with U.S. distribution. And on the band’s official YouTube page, they’ve even hilarously run together clips of all its pop culture references in “So, we got a number of acts involved to draw mutual fanbases and play larger venues. But it’s not too many acts so the audience gets fatigued or is spending more time watching the set changes than the bands.” Wang Chung will also include other familiar hits like “Dance Hall Days,” “Let’s Go,”"Hypnotize Me" and “To Live and Die in L.A.” on their set list.

“He told us that he cut the movie to the music, which is the dream situation for composer. I could talk to you for an hour about that and why some soundtracks don’t work because it undercuts what’s on screen. In my opinion, there’s too“ is used sparingly but when it , it’s with force. And it matches the visuals. I think it was the model for a lot of movies that came after like Michael Mann movies and. And the movie was a dark trajectory—it wasn’t a feel good ‘80s movie.

“I think it works for our music, and bands like us—‘legacy acts’ they call them—have a reputation so people know what they’re looking for. People probably listen to more Wang Chung now than ever. The music is incredibly accessible,” he says. In addition to Hues and Feldman, the current Wang Chung lineup has been together for five years and includes Dave Schulz and Josh Thompson . Hues says it definitely feels like a “proper band” and not just “Nick and I with some sessions guys.”
