Our Humble Begining
Welcome to the birth of our new website: WriteItOnAPoundNote.com. This site is dedicated to 80’s music and the videos that have since disappeared from MTV’s and VH1’s programming. We will try to post a new video daily with some commentary and “where are they now” type info. If you love 80’s music, please suggest a video or tell your friends.
Our first video is dedicated to the man that inspired the name of the site. In 1982, Adam Ant’s Goody Two Shoes hit #1 in the U.K. and #12 in the United States. It was from the Friend or Foe album, his first solo effort after the breakup of Adam and the Ants.
Long before Johnny Depp or the “Puffy Shirt” from Seinfeld, Adam Ant perfected the Pirate Chic look. The video is a bit self indulgent, but we give it 3 guitars.
“If the words unspoken, get stuck in your throat. Send a treasure token, token. Write it on a pound note, pound note.”
Trivia: The song is featured in the movie Hot Fuzz. The butler in the video, Graham Stark, appeared in three different Pink Panther movies.
WATN? - Ant turned to acting in he late eighties/early nineties. A couple of forgettable albums later, he released Wonderful in 1995. It was his last studio album. A live recording entitled Live at the Bloomsbury is scheduled for release later this year.
