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".

True love is the answer, true love is the thing
True love is the answer to, to everything
True love is the answer, oh, is the thing
True love is the answer to, to everything
True love is the answer, true love is the thing
True love is the answer to, to everything
Long days spent on the edge of space
Oh, maybe someone will come along, love
All day with every familiar face
Oh, tells me you're very very wrong, love
True love is the answer to, to everything
True love is the answer, true love is the thing
True love is the answer to, to everything
True love is the answer, true love is the thing
True love, true love
True love, true love
Oh, true love
This dance could never be true enough
Oh, there's more than lead us to our destiny
Entranced, we traveled, the two of us
Oh, and I knew that only you could rest the world for me
I live deep in the heart of things
Feel such a part of things
That remind me of you, love
And I know whatever the future brings
Wherever the pointer swings
There will always be true love, you love

The lyrics of Wang Chung's song True Love are about the power of love and its ability to answer all of life's questions. The phrase "true love" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing its importance and giving the listener a clear message about the theme of the song. The first two lines state, "True love is the answer to, to everything. True love is the answer, true love is the thing." This sets the tone for the rest of the song and indicates that love is the solution to any problem.
As the song continues, the lyrics describe a longing for love and the idea that love is the missing link in life. The lyrics state, "Long days spent on the edge of space. Oh, maybe someone will come along, love. All day with every familiar face. Oh, tells me you're very very wrong, love." These lines suggest that the singer is searching for someone to fill a void in their life and that only true love can answer that need.
The rest of the song speaks to the power of love to transform and give purpose to life. The lyrics state, "And I know whatever the future brings, wherever the pointer swings, there will always be true love, you love." These words suggest that no matter what life brings, if you have true love, you have everything you need.
