"Dance Hall Days" by Imperial Mammoth

 

Los Angeles, California electro pop duo Imperial Mammoth are cool on craze with their cover of 1983 new wave hit "Dance Hall Days," originally from London, UK pop artists Wang Chung.

The tempo is slowed and the music more dreamlike, which makes the line about "playing on her darkest fears" even more disturbing.

In fact, this decade old article from Paste magazine gives the song a resounding 9.1 out of 10 on the ascending scale of horrifying lyrics.

"Girls and Boys" by Wang Chung

 

Soap operas are notorious for developing giggle-worthy story lines that range from outlandish to ridiculously outlandish.

Take long-running CBS daytime drama "Guiding Light," where a character named Reva Shayne was presumed dead for six years before it was discovered that she had amnesia and was living in an Amish commune.

God, that's asinine.

Anyway, here's London, UK dance pop band Wang Chung, who emerged from a seven-year hiatus (over twenty years between studio albums) to lay down their version of "Girls and Boys," the 1995 NME Award winning track from Britpop band Blur.
