Band Name Origins:
- I saw an interview with the band where they said the name referred to the sound of an electric guitar being strummed up, then back down. Submitted by: Ricky-rick-rick
- Supposedly, named after Wang Chung Way, a tiny street in LA's Chinatown, where there was a Chinese restaurant which put on punk shows upstairs. However, it is worth noting that the band is in fact from Kent in southeast England. Submitted by: Tim Horrigan
Why the Name is Stupid:
- Ok I know it is chinese for "perfect pitch" bit it still sounds like a porn star (Hong Kong's answer to John Holmes?) Submitted by: Chris

Original Lyrics: Dance hall days

Story about this misheard lyric by: Mary Celia Decker The misheard lyrics were actually heard by a long lasting friend. But I have never been able to listen to the song without singing, 'Dance your legs off.' In fact, I have insisted that my 15 year old son know 'both' versions of the song. (He'll have to decide when he is my age!) |

Dated Lyrics:
"Everybody Have Fun Tonight"
The Dated Lyrics: Don Henley on the party line
Why They're Dated: I decided to submit this after seeeing a similiar one contributed by someone else. As the other person stated in their entry, party lines are now nearly nonexistant and few would know what one was/remember using one.
