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
Stupid Band Names:
- 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: Aninny Mouse
New Band Names:
New Name | Why It's Better | Submitter Name |

Funny reference to the TV show Mythbusters. But I don't think he's musically talented. ;)

Story about this misheard lyric by: Tracey I thought these (misheard lyrics) were correct since the song first came out, after all Adam Ant was pretty cute. I found out the correct lyrics when I was singing along to the radio and my colleague couldn’t stop laughing - this was only a couple of years ago! |

Funniest Song Lyrics:
"Antmusic"
The Funny Lyrics: So unplug the jukebox
And do us all a favour That music's lost its taste So try another flavour Why They're Funny: Seems to imply that the music *actually* tastes like something. Additionally, the last line is confusing in context.

Repetitive Song Lyrics:
"Price Charming"
The Repetitive Lyrics: Price Charming, Prince Charming,
ridicule is nothing to be scared of Why They're Repetitive: Repeated about 9 times towards the end of the song, and being the whole point of the song, this line gets really annoying.
