Lyrics:
Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes
Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes
Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Subtle innuendos follow
There must be something inside

I met Adam Ant back in 1983 when he came to do a concert at Lafayette College. I was working at the Sheraton where they stayed. They put me on a guest list for the concert. Afterwards I was invited to their room for an after party. Had a great time no(alcohol or drugs) jus t music and great conversation. Bunch of great guy's. Those were the days.

Gary Numan tells a great Adam Ant story: When Adam Ant hit Number One, Gary sent him a note of congratulations. To show his appreciation, Adam stopped by Gary's recording studio with a bottle of champagne (which is funny because neither of them drank alcohol) and then accidentally spilled the whole bottle on the studio floor. But Gary said Adam was a great guy for the gesture.

I was shy off the dance floor but not on it - once you got me up lol. I remember asking for Pink Floyd’s “Shine on you crazy diamond”, and the whole place was silent. The DJ was obviously unfamiliar with it, and so were most of the people there. I am looking at the positive side to that as I’m sure there were a few converts to the bands music! 😂😂

But once freed from insanely religious parental control, & began living my own life after being thrown out of their house for discussing moving😊😢when turned 18, that's when my real life really began. There were lots of friends, live concerts, clubs, dancing, drinking, bars, more concerts, watching band rehearsals in friends' garages & sound studies, bon fires at beaches, more drinking, housedrinking, Harley's & too much fun.

[@jeffrobodeenyehcmon5925]

Nobody else I've ever seen can still look like an ALPHA MALE in makeup other than ADAM ANT!!!

[@richardjefferies221]

I came of age in the 70's, but being a musician, I caught all the good stuff. Adam Ant was but one of many. I managed to get backstage at a Jethro Tull concert with a friend, and we spent the time talking to Ian Anderson's wife. My friend was taking pictures, and he got their private address.

[@switchbladeromance1466]

Not sure who I fancy most..Adam or his PA..definitely Adam 💋💋💋♥️🇬🇧😘

Bring him back, stand and deliver in 22! Wow!

[@sandradamen796]

LONG LIVE the 80's!

[@bensum9111]

Adam Ant made some great albums. This song just shows one style of his vast musical influences. I took the blues, punk, new wave, and R and B and mashed it all together. I feel like he was put in a mold and thrown away as the next best thing. I respect the hell out of Adam.

[@chrismccurdy5842]

Here is one of my favorite song from the 1980’s and Adam Ant and his band does a wonderful job of singing and playing this hit song.

[@creates100]

the 51st biggest hit of 1983 in the United.States according to Billboard magazine.

[@soundwave6218]

"Don't follow Fashion" "Don't drink Don't Smoke what do you do" 😁 It may seem rare but there's alot of people on this Earth that don't Follow fashion drink or smoke we're just Spread out all over the world like everything else that's Good ..just like one Bad person can do alot of Damage one Good person can give Hope Motivate and Influence alot of people...My God is the Best 🔥 Adam..❤️ 80's.. Great Music❤️

[@andyh109]

This is actually a great track.

[@RachelBethAhrens]

I don't remember the 80s at all, because I was born in 1988, but this song was part of my childhood. Mom loved Adam Ant/ Adam and the Ants. "Prince Charming" was one of her favorites in the 80s. One of mine too. Still love this music video.

[@tommymann69]

Who listening to this fantastic video in 2022 ????????????

[@nicolearbour3133]

Listening in 2024!

[@jroberts1734]

Yep, 2024...lol..remember when it first hit the airwaves...

[@maryrupe]

2024!

[@Fan_Made_Videos]

I was Adam Ant for Halloween in 1983. At 14, I noticed how all of my female crushes at school were in mad lust of Adam so I knew it was a perfect ploy for me to capitalize on his image. I was able to score the same type of costume and did the face paint but I didn't have Adam's curly locks so I bought some cheap wig which ended up making me look more like Joannie Cunningham instead. 🥳😭

[@manfromgallifrey5547]

Hilarious !

[@princezzpuffypants6287]

🤣 oh my god, that's the best. I'm never going to be able to disassociate Adam Ant and Joanie Cunningham now...

[@guiltyspark66]

You know, I'm a super straight guy, but Adam Ant was a really good looking dude. And I mean that in the most Manly way possible.

[@annieoakley4714]

I know! Now days of a Man wears makeup and crop to its feminine but back then it was just normal!

[@thorild69]

Adam Ant. I. Um.

[@KoreaMojo]

@@annieoakley4714 It wasn't normal then. It was just more edgy and common in entertainment. Still nice that there was more variety in performers style.

[@rosedowner7529]

Was in love with Adam Ant!!

[@hollymart1]

guiltyspark66 it's ok if you say " no homo" right after lol

[@genosmith8020]

Now this is music. Adam Ant rocked the 80s..still love em today

[@mang3139]

Still love this

When video's where entertainment and fun unlike the crap out these days.

[@lauriekemp3998]

I Want my MTV

[@nula370]

I watched his documentary, and I must say this song pretty much sums up who he was. He didn't drink, didn't smoke, didn't do drugs. He wasn't gay, and loved women too much. So the media had to make something be wrong with him, and they ridiculed him! They went out there and found something to nail him with, and they found his father: the reason for him being a goody two shoes. He didn't drink and drugs because of his father and his hard childhood. How sad is that? Listening to this song now knowing all that the lyrics make more sense. I'm late to the party, I know, but I just found it interesting.

[@hollienelson6738]

1982, 8 yr-old me singing to Adam Ant on the radio. 2023, old me singing to Adam Ant on KZbin. Time goes on, but some things will never change 🐜🎵

[@suzannashockley8440]

Ok. Iam 50yrs old. I love Adam ant! The only album I've ever bought was his. ❤❤.

[@LiamGallagher_music]

Hello, how are you doing it's nice meeting you here

[@jackienicholas7603]

I was a DJ and specialised in the 80’s music I loved playing Goody Two Shoes and Adam Ant was a real doll xxx

[@toniwilliams8473]

I miss the 80's music fun, loving, exciting, and full of talent

[@ptoyman]

He definitely had that unique swag.

[@codypulley7682]

43 years ago I heard this song for the first time. June of 2024 driving down the road all of a sudden it came to my mind What you do is you don't drink you don't smoke. Love this song. So much fun

[@AJ-eu1ug]

GOD do I MISS the 70's & 80"s! If you missed it then you can not possibly understand. Comparatively - there is literally NO music or culture today! NOTHING EVEN REMOTELY NEAR THOSE DAYS, TIMES!!

[@jipfluffy2143]

I get the 80’s feels for reals when I hear this song. March on Adam 🐜

[@alfalfa5271958]

Here are the real lyrics!! With the heartbreak open So much you can't hide Put on a little makeup, makeup Make sure they get your good side, good side If the word's unspoken Gets stuck in your throat Send a treasure token, token Write it on a pound note, pound note Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? You don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Subtle innuendos follow There must be something inside We don't follow fashion That'd be a joke You know we're going to set them, set them So everyone can take note, take note When they saw you kneeling Crying words that you mean Opening their eyeballs, eyeballs Pretending that you're Al Green, Al Green Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? You don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Subtle innuendos follow Must be something inside No one's gonna tell me What's wrong and what's right Or tell me who to eat with, sleep with Or that I've won the big fight, big fight Look out or they'll tell you You're a "Superstar" Two weeks and you're an all-time legend I think the games have gone much too far If the word's unspoken Gets stuck in your throat Send a treasure token, token Write it on a pound note, pound note Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? You don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Subtle innuendos follow: Must be something inside, he's hidin' Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Ya don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Subtle innuendos follow: Must be something inside, he's hidin' Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Ya don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Subtle innuendos follow: Must be something inside, he's hidin' Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Ya don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Subtle innuendos follow: Must be something inside, he's hidin' Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Ya don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Subtle innuendos follow: Must be something inside

[@redxsage]

Been a bit more than two weeks. Now what?

[@marielongoria6714]

Bill Freeman: Thanks for the lyrics. I was a teenager in the 80's over here in the good, ol' U.S.A. and there has always been a couple parts that I couldn't understand what he was saying. Thanks to you, it's all cleared it up now.

[@lewisner]

The lines "When they saw you kneeling Crying words that you mean Opening their eyeballs, eyeballs Pretending that you're Al Green, Al Green are a reference to Kevin Rowland of Dexys Midnight Runners and their song "Geno".

[@NatalyaCherry]

This song and video (which I watched as a tot when Fox 5 New York got replaced temporarily in the early 80s with a "new channel" called MTV before going to cable) randomly crossed my mind this morning while making breakfast. My husband thought I was making s**t up when I asked if he remembered it. Googled Adam Ant, and here we are. Toes still tapping in June 2021 to this sweet New Wave rhythm!

[@HistoryBuff1973]

I miss the 1980s....we had great music

[@garydaniels1420]

Didn't we just that..... ..

[@Azhera5]

Me and My Sister were Both Teenagers in the 1980s , and I Remember we Both had a Huge Crush on Adam Ant , We had a Huge Poster of him on Our Bedroom that we shared , and played his Music , including This Song lots of time ! .

[@kims2963]

Azhera... Who's got the Adam Ant poster now ...Your sister or you? Haha. Just have to know who won out.

[@Azhera5]

Good Question ! Don't Know What ever happened to That Poster ! Probably got Torn down by Our Mum , After she Married us both off to our Husbands And we Both Left that Bedroom we Shared as Teenagers !. Oh Happy , Carefree Memories of Our Childhood !

[@MWDarkAge]

Saw him in concert last night... He's still got it!

[@tlegleu4811]

Love the nod to Elvis "Jailhouse Rock" towards the end!

[@SamuelHandsaker]

Great track and also featuring the incredible and the lovely, Caroline Munro ❤

See kids what you missed in the 80s? It was all this and more. Much. Much. More.

[@sanitarushin1833]

I like those classic music back in the late 70's, 80's, 90's

[@maryconti1298]

80 s forever, he rocks no denying that!!

[@skyhaven4131]

When I was in my second foster home is when I first found Adam Ant, fell in love with his style of music!!!! One day in school all of us kids went and put war paint on our faces it was so cool till the teachers got mad and sent us all to wsh it off or get kicked out, that was junior high 6th grade.

[@liesdamnliesandstatsweird1934]

AA was FINE back in the day. Oh yeah, this is a great song!!!

[@suzanne7277]

My best friend, 54 yo loved Adam Ant a lot when we were 12, she bought the record. My best friend is a breast cancer survivor. Love her and I didn’t understand at the time when we were young but now I can understand why she loved Adam, he’s very cool and unique ❤

[@MrSpikebender]

I was in my late teens when this came out (M TV) I'm 57 now and I still think that chic is smokin hot, 80s hair and all. LOL

[@countrybootsgirl]

This song truly defines my youth. The 80s. ❤

[@nomoremister]

How many key changes do you want in this song? Yes.

[@brianharlan51]

Holy lord... as a musician , thought it was only me hearing that! And thinking it! 🤣

[@Vidchemy]

He is not the first. Johnny Cash also did a song with many key changes. Wish I could remember its name...

[@nomoremister]

@@Vidchemy You're right -- "I Walk the Line" changes key for every verse.

[@Vidchemy]

@@nomoremister Thanks! My brain was stuck on "Folsom Prison Blues", another great Johnny Cash song.
