Love Marco’s guitar tone on this!

[@killingheros3554]

I do too, Jesus.

[@barrysmith8920]

LOVE this!! Adam is absolutely brilliant and this is a GREAT homage to Native Americans written by a British songwriter 🙏🏻🌹

[@runcaz7802]

I stumbled upon an old cassette tape in 1987 and listened on my boom box while painting a house. I couldn't understand ANY of the lyrics to "The Human Beings" but loved it anyway. Now 30 years later I wanted to hear it again but knew no lyrics, name of song or album. So i typed in Adam Ant Arapaho" and waalaah! Found it! There is also a live version where just after the song ends Adam says "They are human beings, and WE are the savages" Beautiful song Adam Ant! !

[@j.c.9784]

I saw the man live.. was awesome

[@thetriumphofthethrill2457]

Nice upload, good sound. Probably the best track off their masterpiece, and one of my all-time faves. Ant and Pirroni were talented songwriters who were masters at creating quirky and offbeat Rock. Simply magic.

[@kfp227081956]

I had such a crush on this guy.....If I could've, I would've grabbed him off the stage and run away with him. SORRY Keith Richards, but Adam Ant is the true father of Jack Sparrow!! Ant Music and Ant People live on and strong!

[@campfortson4387]

I'm sure he would have loved you!

[@tristanbaravraham6349]

I was 17 and my buddy was an SP in the US Air Force and mailed me this LP from mother England. It had Stand & Deliver as a bonus track, Joy!

[@rubberchicken5670]

LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Although a GREAT homage to Native American tribes, the song title was obviously lifted from the 1970 film "Little Big Man" with Dustin Hoffman about a white man raised by the Cheyennes. Chief Dan George refers to the Cheyennes as "the human beings" in the film. It's a CLASSIC film! Funny & sad. If you can find it, SEE IT! It's wonderful!!

[@johnorourke2279]

A couple of tribes referred to themselves as " the people", Comanche was one such group. Great song

[@belia1313]

My friend Rene was a huge fan of Adam I painted a painting of him for her on her 16 birthday of his Prince Charming years

[@josephharris6062]

This one is a favorite, it has that beat that's compelled me to listen to it, it's wild through headphones.🎼🎧🎧🎧

[@j.c.9784]

Is black foot or left foot he's singing about?

[@jeanettechristensen3073]

🌹Thank You Adam Ant🌹 This wild sounds in your voice and music 🎶❤🎶

[@brettkoeshall2325]

This is actually real music.

[@helenkeenan74]

Love adam ant , hes brill live my prince charming

[@SunshineClementine]

My most fav song! x

[@jeanbaumgartner4052]

I!LIKE ALL OF ADAM ANT 🐜 'S!SONGS! I'VE BEEN!AN!ANT Fan!Even Since I Was Teenager!

[@MrJvne]

Still my fav after all these years!

[@nicoles8991]

I had mad respect 4 him and his fascination with the Native American culture at a time when diversity wasn't necessarily chic.. Used 2 sit in my bedroom and play this song over and over back in the day.. This was my s**t!..💕🎵

[@scottw.3258]

It was bugger all to do with diversity. There was a time when you actually acknowledge, and appreciate other cultures without being labelled.

[@campfortson4387]

​@@scottw.3258 Exactly. Punk and metal bands were really cool about this.

[@K_j_M]

​@@scottw.3258yeah, that's called diversity ye nob

[@katzandkids]

I agree- in the 80s, this was respect! Now it would be considered cultural appropriation. I am glad I was young when this came out and was allowed to appreciate it, and him. LOVED this album- drove my family nuts! 😂

[@HarryFlowerrs]

Me too and I'm Black Englishman whose eyes were ooened by this album! "I fwel beneath the White there is a Redskin suffering from centuries of taming"! Also their style had a lot to do with the late,great Malcolm McLaren and Lady Vivienne Westwood!❤

[@dantofthegenxfamily9529]

This song is a blessing to the Human Beings,, or the Blackfoot Pahwnee. Cheyenne, Crow, Apache, and Arapaho, to the Beat of the Heart. A cry out to the predicament bestowed upon them by Savages with evil intent,

[@gretaneely333]

I couldn't have said it better. Great post!

[@jerrymarshall2095]

They were mere savages themselves.

[@K_j_M]

​@@jerrymarshall2095of course they weren't. They didn't savage anyone out of their land ye peenarse... We were just savages in western clothes and pretended to be civilised but, there was nothing civilised in our actions

[@akelofgren9468]

His faceexpression, musicexpression is so amusing

[@hippieliciouschick2972]

Love this homage to the Native Americans... Even if you didn't include the Cree. Its a great song.

[@Kelly14UK]

Listen to Southern Death Cult > Death Cult > The Cult : )

[@williamdougan9769]

I had the album at fourteen. haven't heard this in decades!

[@kostantinosgeorgiou6524]

Love this song. One of my favorite songs from the music back then. Do any of you know if Adam plays anything from the first 2 albums these days? Is this Adam's channel or what?

[@duncandistortion]

Marco pirroni my fave 80's guitarist.

[@garethbryant3604]

A non conformist... :)

[@ydderynnad]

Easily one of the greats. He played perfectly for a band with two drummers, a vocalist all over the place, and a pretty busy bass player; he found the sweet spot of not playing too much while making every note he played count.

[@mad_moose_7605]

By FAR my favourite (Apollo 9 being a close second though)

[@seanpaul93]

same, apollo 9's great too

[@johnbarry1965]

Would Adam's Native name be "Flying Carburettor"?

[@mootcrescent]

my Spirit reaches out to caste the vote no one has

[@saturnthewhiteholetoosmall6847]

Hi folks :). these r the ONLY tribes I saved b/c they Loved. The others we're almost as SAVAGE AS U!!! 🙋🏼‍♀️God 💋

[@josephharris6062]

[@DinsdalePiranha67]

The lyrics are kinda nonsense... but man, is Adam selling it here!

[@j.c.9784]

Left foot Pawnee Cheyenne Crow Apache Arapahoe

[@MajorCulturalDivide]

Of course the "ch" in Cheyenne is pronounced like an "sh".

[@paulsnell534]

Its not kings of the wild frontiers but a good track

[@BasketCase]

It's at the end of the B side..

[@sevintrix2962]

I rocked out to this song' even if it was very 'English'. It was very Art Nouveau, even before The new Romantics movement. .

[@scottw.3258]

It was right in amongst the New Romantics. This album was in essence the death knell for Punk, and the Birth of New Romanticism

[@kantstenchonthemel5641]

I'm surprised no wokenut came here to complain about cultural appropriation! Most probably they ignore great music of the 80s

[@j.c.9784]

Well I'm still trying to figure out if it's Left foot or Black foot in this chant.

[@j.c.9784]

To me it's Left foot Pawnee Cheyenne.. etc

[@j.c.9784]

Other people it's Blackfoot Cheyenne.. etc

[@aureliaarrietty6706]

forget Justin Bieber, Adam ant is much better!
