Fun Music Information -> Adam and the Ants
This is the most recent information about Adam and the Ants that has been submitted to amIright. If we have more information about Adam and the Ants, then we provide a link to the section where it appears (the actual page whenever possible).
Band Name Origins:
- After changing his name to Adam Ant, Adam added the "Ants" bit on as he said that ants were hard working and always stick together. That's what he'd like his band to be like. Submitted by: cat
- It has nothing to do with the 'Atom Ant' cartoon. It's taken from the 1960's BBC TV series 'Adam Adamant Lives' about a dashing Edwardian crime fighter who was 'frozen in time' and revived in the 60's. Stuart Goddard (Adam Ant) was a big fan of the series as a kid. Submitted by: Klif Fuller
Why the Name is Stupid:
- Ants are easily crushed by humans. (And) Adam And The Eves would have been more appropriate a name since they all were dressed in women's clothes and wore make-up. Submitted by: LESMANIA.com
