Lyrics:
I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention
I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention
The devil take your stereo and your record collection! (oh-oh)
The way you look you'll qualify for next year's old age pension!
Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!

[@AppleMan531]

I remember when this song was released, Adam & The Ants played on the West Side of New York City next to the Intrepid Ship. The band came down the Hudson River on a pirate ship hanging from the ropes and blowing off cannons. The Pirate ship docked next to a stage next to the Intrepid, and the band then ran on to the stage, grabbed their instruments and started playing "STAND AND DELIVER". It was the most Amazing stage entrance I've ever seen by any band ever!

He is still hot now in his mid 60’s

[@KS-yp1jl]

He's ridiculously handsome

[@xXBuckOFiveXx]

He looks like my ex-girlfriends older sister lol

[@lilyofthevalley5586]

That's an understatement! He's stunningly gorgeous! Perfection!

[@evildjinn9]

This brings tears to my eyes. Oh what sweet memories !!!

[@angelikaryburn5340]

Saw him in Bloomington IL. Those were the best years! Awesome show of course! MEMORIES 😊

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

An anthem for a brave new world

I love how terrified Adam looks whenever he's jumping off stuff...

[@telboy1965]

Adam and the ants complete 1980s legends end of story 🤘

[@johnlipinski2395]

Nobody defines the crazy eighties better than Adam

[@lynnpurcell5225]

He's so cute!

[@chrissirvid5845]

Where would we be without Adam and the Ants. What a showman; knows how to make an entrance, remain and then make an exit. Love 'em💙

[@smlfan2087]

When I was younger I loved the way he dressed and the way he danced. I was so into the men wearing make up and frilly shirts. The new romantics era was beautiful.

Yes younglings, this made complete sense at the time.

[@mrbody1629]

@@Sillimant_ no drugs. Adamant was just goofy as hell by nature

[@mariajukejax9649]

@@Sillimant_ No drugs. This was a completely normal thing. And I bet after the video, they went to a greasy spoon for a fry up and a cup of tea. I'm not joking.

Glad you have a new Pirates :)

I recently saw him in Dallas. He is still amazing. ❤

Adam Ant is still my imaginary boy friend-from the age 9 to 48 :-) *

[@clarelusher]

First record I ever bought. I was 9 (NINE!!) years old. Went into the record shop in Muswell Hill and asked the intimidatingly cool 80s punk girl behind the counter for Adam Ant! Handed my pennies over. I had a homemade record player in my bedroom and I swear I played that 7 inch record so many times it must have disintegrated at some point. I loved him so much! That and Tubby the Tuba got played to death. 😆😂 I moved on to tape and mini disc fairly quickly, but this will always be the first record in my now extensive 80s and 90s vinyl collection. ❤

[@jimboxreads4165]

@dave setchell I do!!! Share :-)

[@jimboxreads4165]

Love that story I can picture the scene!! Absolutely great song!!

[@jimboxreads4165]

@dave setchell oh my goodness. .. (Googles Terry Wogans Floral Dance) haha thanks for sharing dude :-)

[@daddyplaysfortnite]

My first single too. I was also 9 years old. I still love it. 😎

[@RockDove5212]

@dave setchell used to love that song when I was 8 or 9! In school in Friday assemblies we were allowed to listen to a song on the record player. The choice was mull of kintyre or floral dance. Loved them both.

[@RedMcc]

Man on man this song hit me like a flipp'n ton of bricks along with Antmusic. I was in Jr High and hated so much of the top 40 crap that permeated the industry. Adam Ant was so far ahead of his time. The sound of the two drummers was incredible. No one was like him and there will never be anyone close.

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

I loved Adam and the Ants back in day, Kings of the Wild Frontier is a classic album. Thanks for the great memories. These songs are timeless classics. And now my daughter is into this music so it's great as I get to listen to it all over again. I wonder if any of these old videos will get the upscaled HD treatment? That would be great.

[@BRUTUALTRUTH]

The most handsome daring and imaginative singer in the 1980s. A record Adam Ant can be very proud of. Fame is so fickle people wanting to see the next best thing and Adam is one of all them but whoa what an impact he made.

[@firstnamesurname2542]

He sure was something to look at back in the day. I watched a documentary about him not long ago. He actually is quite a nice guy, too.

[@revacohen]

But didn't he spend time in a hospital for mental illness? I heard he threatened to assault a group of people once.

[@julieterranova]

I graduated from a hick school early when I was sixteen. I left for Alaska, married and had two kids by 1984. I was in UAA at night and working on a huge business plan with friends and their contacts. There were actual disco clubs in Anchorage then and heard Stand and Deliver the first time. I wish my kids could have comprehended how these videos changed everything!! No computer renderings...actual videos of acting! Fyi...divorced in 1987...lol.
