Lyrics
Bang bang you're dead
Did not, did too
Stop diddy-bopping buddy
Bouncing Betty on you
Bang bang you're dead
Did not, did too
Stop diddy-bopping buddy
Bouncing Betty on you
I try to tell you but you just don't understand
You've got my entire life in your hands
Vive le rock, vive le rock
Oh well, you don't know what you're missing
'Cos you don't know what you got
And if the enemy don't see it your way
Be smart, play dead, live to fight a new day
And vive le rock, vive le rock
Oh well you don't know what you're missing
'Cos you don't know what you got
Vive le rock, vive le rock
Vive le rock
If this is it then I'm afraid it's not enough
Here's Johnny and he's calling your bluff
Vive le rock, vive le rock
Oh well you don't know what you're doing
'Cos you don't know what is what
Vive le rock, vive le rock
(Look out! rockers going Starwars!)
Bang bang you're dead
Did not, did too
Stop diddy-bopping buddy
Bouncing Betty on you
Bang bang you're dead
Did not, did too
Stop diddy-bopping buddy
Bouncing Betty on you
You're scratching records but you won't be scratching mine
Don't give me chish-chash in rinky-dink time
Just vive le rock, vive le rock
Well I've been where I was going
And it's not Tom of Finland
Vive le rock, vive le rock
Vive le rock
Bang bang you're dead
Did not, did too
Stop diddy-bopping buddy
Bouncing Betty on you
Look Ma, I'm on top of the world

[@metalbearuk]

A fabulous, underrated song.

[@gogoyubari366]

What makes you believe it's underrated?

[@michaelroberts7374]

The 4th and final part!

[@robynsegg]

No arguments here!

[@21lillyrose]

Absolutely

[@eightiesmusic1984]

@@gogoyubari366 The whole song from start to finish. Or would you like a break down second by second?

[@nancysmith8626]

Aww, how did I miss out on this song when it came out? Just hearing it now and I love it! Always nice to discover a great song, even if 30 years later, haha.

[@nosmoking4933]

I've still got the album manners and physique on CD. It's worth a listen. 😊

[@ShawnsterVideos]

YES! Sounds like the kind of Psych... Furs tune that would have been the theme for a John Landis film ;-)

[@michelleseal988]

Nancy Smith don’t remember this song neither .. wow it’s not bad .. he surly is good

[@gigisummer109]

New to me too Nancy but I really like it too.

[@thevincentgonzalesplan]

Never heard this one either, but definitely a John Hughes movie closing song.

[@Stepherner]

being an 80ties romantic, I'm so glad finding "new" good stuff of that decade. never heard this before, but it's great!

[@jeanbaumgartner4052]

[@rogerhuggettjr.7675]

Ditto. I have everything from him going back to Dirk Wears White Sox, but I stopped listening to him after Strip. I've just recently heard "newer stuff" and should catch up to now.

[@elftwinks]

[@mztgood]

[@sachaehn4924]

You got the best part of your child's father -----the beautiful son you two created together.

[@SHOWGIRLSWEHO]

Andre Cymone originally the bass player in Prince's first band, then writer/producer for Jody Watley sending her into the stratosphere. Then, he produced Adam Ant including CAN'T SET RULES ABOUT LOVE. Genius!!!!!

[@sunshinemoore8190]

[@kathleenwoolever1547]

[@NWRJ]

Beautiful song. Adam Ant rocks! That baby must be more than thirty years old now. 🥹

[@spookyshadows]

Loved his solo albums, in opposite of the most old fans that were disappointed of his new way...strange. A Masterpiece, almost each track could run endless on my machine an din my life... thanks for great tracks like that, and not to forget Wonderful from his other solo album, also a lovely track I adore...

[@CynthiaJFinnegan]

I've always loved Adam, with the Ants and solo.

[@getnutzz3807]

Wow, I was a superfan at the 80's, but this is new for me.

[@DanLA6969]

I was in 10th grade when this record came out. The same month as Violator. And Straight Outta Compton. I was fortunate to have been a teenager in 1990. This song is white hot gorgeous.

[@cmmontrose1469]

Love Adam Ant 🐜💕

[@donna1482]

I have the VHS with all the hits, I got my daughter when she was only 4 to watch it because it was always a good excuse for me to drool over the videos 😂😂😂 and let's just say she is now 29 and still knows all the words to all the songs , the greatest times and music you can understand every word not like this day and age as I'm always like what are they saying 😂😂😂 guess I'm just getting old 😂😂😂 thank you adam for the greatest days . ❤❤❤❤

Can't SetRulesAboutLove❣❤!AWESOME! And SOSEXY DANCER! ADAM ANT! Is So SHY&CUTE! WHEN HE SMILES 😃 😊 🙂 😀 😄 😁!

[@shandywarhol4444]

When I was at uni, there was a (hot) guy there, called Eddie.... He used to work at Vivienne Westwood's Leeds shop.... I was customising t-shirts, for my degree show.... And he brought some of Vivienne Westwood's actual t-shirts in for me to look at.... I've got photos somewhere!! How awesome is that.... He was one cool dude tho.... Well out of my league, or so I thought.... But.... Now I think, he wasn't even in painting, and I didn't know him that well, and he brought Vivienne Westwood's own t-shirts in.... FFS.... Why am I so effing gormless!! I love this song and video, and you're as hot and correct as always. Thank you Adam Ant!! Kx

[@isleJane]

Been my ringtone for a couple years straight. 💜🎶🐜🎙🎼

[@Kels1701e]

Where did you get the ringtone? Can you remember, can't find it anywhere.

[@jeremysmith2117]

This is about the best he ever looked, around the 1991 time frame.

[@simonpearson1599]

I love Adam Ant i was only born in 1980 but a big fan off all his music.

[@potato-otatop1]

I was only born in 2009 but i have the same view !!

[@MamaPinks]

On my bucket list: to ride my motorcycle side by side with Adam.

[@SoEightiesItHurts]

Happy Birthday Adam! 65 today.

[@alexc8209]

I love this song too. I forgot it was one of his.

[@MissSunny1966]

I have loved his music a lifetime! I'm mesmerized by this video! Please keep up the incredible work AA♥️

[@shandywarhol4444]

Eff the Gemini guy.... Give me a scorpion any day!! Kxxxx

[@alexc8209]

Adam Ant is a god a living god. Thankyou Adam.

[@davebayliss8903]

I love Adam Ant My. Idol Thank you for the music

[@michaelroberts7374]

Love this one

[@carrietaylor3304]

My first love x

[@badgerbhoy9534]

They dropped a bollock not casting him as Jack Sparrows dad

[@mursahxiirow1501]

Johnny stole from him! somewhere Johnny does admit it.

[@pebblebrookbooks4852]

For real? Somebody's walking the plank!

[@pebblebrookbooks4852]

🎶 Hoist up Jolly Roger! 🎶☠ Omg, who wouldn't want to have Adam and the Ants stow away on the Black Pearl! You hear drumming from the cargo hold, some of them just banging on the hull of the ship. .... and it's mutiny! Omg what a fight scene! What a soundtrack! A few bits of comic relief - e.g. "This is not the Boston massacre - you sir are underdressed!" , culminating in Adam putting the point of his sword to Jack Sparrow's throat, ordering him to - say it w/me, now - "STAND AND DELIVER!"

[@sw4631]

He’s only 9 years older than Johnny Depp x

[@markshiner2369]

omg yes

[@krirish4]

Beautiful Man ❤️

[@thisisnotme7017]

Totally forgot about this song.A classic

[@mandyjudkins1913]

Classic

[@davidcooks5265]

I've not heard this,I remember Prince, when any smashed Adam ant💖💖💖

[@kimberleymitchell1202]

The lyrics to Vive Le Rock were posted in the description box by mistake... So here are the lyrics to Can't Set Rules About Love: I feel suspended in space, In another time and place, To talk would burst the bubble Just want to lie next to you, And appreciate the view, And hope it lasts forever We do not have to play games Or listen to all the names They have for russian roulette, If it's good enough for the gemini guys, Then it's good enough for me You can't set rules about love, You can't set rules about love, So the I becomes we, We make our own chemistry, To move is too much trouble I hope we won't separate, Return to our normal state, As long as we're together We do not have to play games Or listen to all the names They have for russian roulette If it's good enough for the gemini guys, Then it's good enough for me You can't set rules about love, No no, You can't set rules about love So if it's yes or it's no, Chime time says the radio, Why don't you kiss me deadly If and when you slip away, Just don't let me hear you say Good morning and goodbye We do not have to play games Or listen to all the names They have for russian roulette If it's good enough for the gemini guys, Then it's good enough for me You can't set rules about love, Oh no, You can't set rules about- Revolution -- the fourth and final part, (You can't set rules about love) Resolution -- afterplay with my heart, (You can't set rules about love) [repeat until the end]

[@sofiaaaaa888]

Absolute hottie

[@chathamabs2011]

I had a lot of his records up to friend or foe but think this is better, Wonderful is a brilliant track too. Quite a troubled guy but still pretty cool and always seems humble when interviewed 🙌🏻

[@TheSanveana]

There is something not going very well over here: this song is from Adam solo, not The Ants. And the lyrics to read in the description is from Vive Le Rock, a song from his (back then) previous album with the same name, not this song/video. As an Antfan in the 80's and repeatedly surprised by his jumping behaviour in musical directions i was pretty certain Adam might had found his way with Manners and Physique, the album with this song on it.: he seemed to be at ease with himself. But as it turned out, he still had a long way to go, and i hope he's doing fine by now. My fave Ant-era still is the period till Kings of the Wild Frontier. Yet i also love his more commercial stuff, and from all the 'light' things he's done i think this is my favourite song of all.

[@michaelreidy8100]

incredible song, reality !!!

[@carolomahony5469]

He was waaaay head of his time, I think

[@addisonjojo2990]

Love Adam ant

[@MichaelSmith-vo1mi]

Music genius

[@TheRealCaptainFreedom]

Adam Ant would be a great Batman.

[@MichaelSmith-vo1mi]

90s classic

[@mangot589]

I see a lot of comments about Keith Richards and Jack Sparrow. Whatever. This is the real Jack Sparrow. I don’t remember KR doing much besides wearing maybe a headband before Adam Ant, honestly. The kerchiefs? The makeup? The historical references? Show me. Been watching them since the 60’s, but gotta confess I was a Beatles fan, so maybe I missed something. I don’t remember Keith Richards looking ANYTHING like a pirate.🤷‍♀️

[@jamesmata2945]

2:16 scared the shit outta me 😂

[@jeanbaumgartner4052]

I!Agree With All Of You About ADAM ANT As Himself Is So Handsome English Man!

[@1wongatonga]

Superb....👏👏👏👏 x

[@brettkoeshall2325]

Adam Ant during his Manners & Physique period back in 1990.

[@CAPRICELOVER]

Brett Koeshall I got this album on cassette......since 1992

[@garyhodgkins4181]

My mum got me that album for christmas that year on cassette!Hearing this takes me back there.I was 13!

[@Texas_C8]

It came out in 1989 you Bonehead !!!!

[@teeka004]

DAMN!!😘

[@bryanhayes1218]

This is from Manners & Physique album

[@bryanhayes1218]

I played the hell out of this cassette when it came out

[@MissTia777]

The infant is the video vixen

[@jeffreylawrence6928]

…I’ll just comment on this song then, not his greatest but shows off his voice well.

[@teeka004]

DAMN!

[@Bindersandcash19]

Love it

[@AngelaDawn]

Lovely song, but the lyrics are posted wrong

[@boofuls]

Indeed Viva le rock ..i reckon 🤔

[@alastairwest5200]

SLACK BASTARDS

[@davidcorcoran9959]

I think johnny depp has openly admitted that he based a lot of captain jack on adams pirate, highwayman image.

[@carolomahony5469]

❤ The beat

[@eightiesboi1272]

Who is the beautiful lady?❤

[@richieisjoecool]

it s "adam ant" when he sang this song - not "adam and the ants"... ;-)

[@MurrayMLIS]

It's also not "Vive le Rock."

[@mangot589]

OK, Nick the nit picker. 🙄

[@sunshinemoore8190]

There's not a song of his I don't love!

[@_aqeel_b2193]

Anyone know the woman in video ? I’m Sure she appeared on his previous videos for Room At The Top

[@stacymcardle]

I have no idea but it looks like Prince’s ex-wife Mayte Garcia

[@whazzup5199]

My spirit Husband, thanks for your knowledge xf

[@lightblueeyedgirl1442]

Hot song from a hot singer.

[@JoGray1987]

Love this video.....shame the lyrics are for Vive Le Rock lol
