Though the aforementioned hit single earned much success, particularly in the U.K. where it spent many weeks on the charts and peaked at #5, it also left the group saddled with the 'one hit wonder' label outside of Canada & Brasil. Yet, from the same album, he returned to the Canadian charts with another original/cover combination, "Puss N' Boots/These Boots (Are Made For Walkin')". The track included resung interpolation snippets of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" and Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'". Another single, "Harry Houdini", failed to chart completely in America, but scored a Top 40 placing in Canada and also peaked at #14 in the New Zealand Singles Chart.
Wynne, who sang on 6 of 9 tracks from 'Move to Move', left shortly after its release at the end of 1989. Wynne did not pursue a solo career & currently owns a printing business since 2010. Harris released two more albums under the group's original name "Syntonic" & "VIDA!" taking on all lead vocals. He then went on to form the eurodance inspired group Outta Control together with musicians Kimberley Wetmore and Rachid. He also later became a celebrated remixer under the moniker Thunderpuss. Harris rerecorded and reissued "Barry Harris Presents Kon Kan - I Beg Your Pardon 2014" with new remixes. Harris took on sole administrator duties in the digital era on Kon Kan's Spotify page in 2016 and Apple Music/iTunes 2018. In 2020 he rereleased the Kon Kan L.P. VIDA! digitally world-wide with additional remixes never before available. In 2023 Harris continues on as Kon Kan releasing "Stars" July 2023 and "Sinful Wishes (Moonlight Mix) ft. Kimberley Wetmore August 2023.

Kon Kan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody's workin' for their future
They never notice it goin' by
But my time, it's always better with you
You're the only one I've ever met
The one to share this point of view
(Everyday) I'll always take things in my stride
We're here today, gone tomorrow
Time is spent, not ever borrowed
Pride will come before the last fall
Everybody's dreamin' of possessions
Though very few I know have it all
But my pride wit never be that untrue
You're the only one I've ever met
The one to share this point of view
(Everyday) I'll always take things in my stride
(Everyday) I'll never let my feelings hide
We're here today, gone tomorrow
Time is spent, not ever borrowed
The song "Time" by Kon Kan is a reflection on the fleeting nature of time, and the importance of living in the present moment. The lyrics suggest that many people are so focused on their future goals and accumulating possessions that they miss out on the present. However, the singer suggests that being with their loved one makes their time enjoyable, and they prioritize living in the moment.
The first verse sets the tone for the song, with the singer acknowledging that time never seems to be on their side. They comment on the fact that so many people are consumed with working towards their future, that they don't even realize how quickly time passes them by. However, the singer takes comfort in the fact that their time is better spent with their partner, as expressed in the line "my time, it's always better with you". This sentiment is echoed in the chorus, with the singer asserting that they will always take things in stride and never hide their feelings in order to fully experience life in the time they have.
The second verse follows a similar pattern, with the singer reflecting on the danger of being consumed by pride and possessions. They recognize that many people dream of having everything they could possibly want, but never truly achieve it. However, the singer assures the listener that their pride will never be that consuming, and that their partner is the only one who shares this value.
Overall, "Time" is a song about the value of living in the present moment, rather than worrying about the future or being consumed by pride and possessions. It is a reminder to appreciate the time we have with loved ones and to prioritize enjoying life in the moment.

O pessoal confundia os dois grupos por causa disto. Outro com a voz muito parecida aos dois era o Noel, que cantava Silent Morning !
