Originally called Hu… Read Full Bio ↴Wang Chung is a British new wave musical group.
Originally called Huang Chung which is Chinese for "perfect pitch" (though they later claimed it was the sound a guitar made on American Bandstand), the band formed in 1979. The lineup consisted of vocalist/guitarist Jack Hues, bassist Nick Feldman, saxophonist David Burnand a.k.a "Hogg" and drummer Darren Costin. Their self-titled debut was released by Arista Records in 1982 after several singles, including the minor post-punk hit "Isn't It About Time We Were On TV". In 1983, after being dropped by Arista and signed to Geffen Records, they changed their name to Wang Chung (at Geffen's suggestion, to make pronunciation easier for English-speakers) and subsequently they released Points on the Curve, which yielded two major hits, "Don't Let Go" and "Dance Hall Days"
In 1986, Costin left the band and Hues and Feldman continued to record. The same year, they had their biggest hits: "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" and "Let's Go", both from the album Mosaic. Not long after releasing their final album The Warmer Side of Cool in 1989, Wang Chung disbanded in 1991.
In June 2005, Hues and Feldman reunited as Wang Chung on the reality TV series Hit Me Baby One More Time, performing "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" and a cover of "Hot in Herre" by Nelly.
Shortly after, in postings at WangChung.com as well as the band's MySpace site, there was news of a new Wang Chung album being worked on by Hues and Feldman. In an e-mail response from Hues, he said, "We are shooting for a release around the March 2006 time frame and a tour in May. We are not sure who we are touring with yet, maybe Heaven 17 or Devo". Also on the band's MySpace, you can hear new clips such as "Hot In Herre" (The Nelly Cover) and a new song "I Was Abducted by the 80's".
Let's Go!
Wang Chung Lyrics

Meet me on the top of the world
Meet me and we'll talk the language of love
I'll meet you anywhere you want
I'll meet you on a ballroom floor
Meet me and we'll float to a level above
And get on the case
We could blow this existence
Right out into space
And share a sweet isolation
Let's go there today
Go today, go today
Everyway, rightaway
Oh let's go
Let's go baby, let's go baby, come on
Let's go baby, let's go baby, come on
Let's go baby, let's go baby, come on
Let's go 'cause we can't hold back no more
There's no way, there's no way
No, no way
Meet you on a mountain top
Meet you at the end of the block
As long as we can talk the language of love
I'll take you in my arms again
I'll take you to the edge of time
Together we can reach for the heavens above
I wish you'd drop what you're doing
And get on the case
We could blow this existence
Right out into space
And share a sweet isolation
Let's go there today
Go today, go today
Everyway, rightaway
Oh let's go
Let's go baby, let's go baby, come on
'Cause baby, I want your love
Let's go baby, let's go baby, come on
'Cause baby, I'm saying
Take your cue from me now
I'm saying baby, let's go
Will you listen to me
I'm saying baby, come on now
Let's go 'cause we can't hold back no more
There's no way
Meet me on the dance floor and we'll dance to the rhythm
Get you feet in motion and we'll dance to the rhythm
Dance to the rhythm
Dance to the rhythm of love
Oh,baby
Let's go baby, let's go baby, come on
'Cause baby, I want your love
Let's go baby, let's go baby, come on
'Cause baby, I'm saying
Take your cue from me now
I'm saying baby, let's go
Will you listen to me
I'm saying baby, come on now
Let's go 'cause we can't hold back no
Let's go 'cause we can't hold back no
Let's go 'cause we can't hold back no more
There's no way
