Hey, I liked Adam and the Ants a lot back in the 70's and 80's...but I didn't remember this song. Thanks for sharing it! The song *is* a good example of the quirky feeling that watered-down yodeling offers to New Wave music, in this case. It is nice to hear yodeling used outside its original yodeling genre. Ah, the 80's! I am now feeling nostalgia for the music of that era...sigh.
Here's another Adam and the Ants song, "Stand and Deliver," that has a tiny bit of yodeling in it, I'd say. I like almost all Adam and the Ants' songs because they are so playfully risque and quirky (such that a little yodeling fits right in yet, I feel, sounds cool). An aside: doesn't "Adam" look like Johnny Depp's Captain Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies?
