How about his songs?  The Sci-Fi Channel had a miniseries or somesuch
based on Universal Soldier.  The main characters were at a corporate
party or dance club or something somewhere in Canada.  I wasn't
watching too closely, but I do know they said they were in Canada.  I
had it on mainly because I wasn't near the remote, and was thinking
about getting up to get it when they started playing an Ivan song.
They played a good chunk of it, a minute or two even.  And for the life
of me, I can't remember it's name.  "Fly," I think.  Dang, must listen
to The Spell when I get home.

I have been listening to various tunes of the Christmas season and find that
my favorite group has nothing in this category.

What Christmas song do you think would be marvelous if done by Men W/O Hats?
I'd like to hear Ivan belt out a Drummer Boy rendition of epic proportions.
The pahruhmpumpumpum has some great creativity options built right in.

Merry Christmas fellow Hatless,
MMM

Oooooh!  Good one, Matt!

My favorite carol is "The Carol of the Bells."  I know
most often people don't do the words, but I could see
Ivan doing a GREAT synth version.  (I mean, if Trans
Siberian Orchestra can do it with electric guitars and
have it work...)

Another goodie would be "Angels We Have Heard On High"
- the glo -oo -oo -oo -oo -oooo -oo -oo -oo -oo -oooo
-oo -oo -oo -oo -oor -ria part would be really KEWL to
have Ivan do.

(Hey Ivan, are you still checking out the list?  If
so, HINT HINT!)

Happy Hatless Holidays!

How 'bout "Driving Home for Christmas"?  Already well done by Chris

Kinda like hearing Crash Test Dummies doing "First Noel" - just kinda
fits ;)

I'd have to go with "Hark the herald angels sing".
Majestically sung with Ivan's bass-baritone...
I think it could work.

Did anyone else catch the reference on Drew Carey last
night?

Kate was getting ready to move and was cleaning out
her house.  She brought a box of stuff over to Drew's
and was giving things back to the guys.  She handed
Lewis an album and said, "This is your Men Without
Hats album."  Lewis said, "That's not mine."  And Kate
replied, "Well, I don't want it."

I always thought Kate had dreadful taste. ;-)

Ah well, they say there's no such thing as *bad*
publicity.  :-)

Subject: (hats) Buggles to Bizkit
Date: 25 Dec 2001 11:05:54 -0800 (PST)


While I'm sure many of you won't waste your Christmas
day watching MTV, they had a 20th anniversary year
book show on (probably an old show from months ago
that I missed), but the 1983 feature showed "Safety
Dance" in its entirety (although I still think the
sound sounds a bit thin, but thats me.) I'll give the
folks at MTV some credit, at least they got the video
credits right, which is more than I can say for VH-1
(who puts the album Safety-Dance is on as
"Backstreet"...not knowing that Backstreet was the
Hats' label for that album [a subsidary of MCA...
whereas FOTE3 was a full MCA release], maybe they were
listening to too much Hootie? [yes I am a nitpicker])
They were around 1984 when I stopped watching (have
other things to do than watch MTV on Xmas day, just
happened to catch it) and they showed other videos,
but only Madonna's "Borderline", The Cars "You Might
Think", and Wham's "Wake Me Up" (one 80s video I can
do without along with John Waite's "Missing You") were
played in their entirety (there were probably others,
but I didn't watch long enough.) The other videos they
showed were more in a "Medley" format: Cyndi Lauper's
"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" (cut this one up badly),
Def Leppard's "Photograph", Depeche Mode's "People Are
People", Prince's "When The Doves Cry" (Prince
deserves an entire show featuring  nothing but his
videos, he had some interesting ones from early on,
like the synth-funk "Controversy"), Billy Idol's
"White Wedding" (better than "Eyes Without A Face"
IMO), and of course Twisted Sister's "We're not gonna
take it" (the video remains a classic.)

I know I must be getting old when my favorite songs
are only shown in "Medley" format. :-P And I thought
that hideous practice was something only "Moldy"
Oldies groups/stations did.

If VH1/MTV would put these videos into constant
rotation (meaning not one 80s classic [not just the
top 40, but 'everything' except John Waite and NKOTB]
every three years admist billions of Micheal
Bolton/Limp Bizkit/Backstreet Boys videos) then they
might actually attract some viewers. My Idea: Have a
station called M3E (MTV 3 - Eighties) and dedicate it
solely to nothing but the golden years of new
wave/alternative (1977 - 1990) and bring back stuff
like "Headbangers Ball" (for the metal/hair bands),
Post-Modern MTV (for the syn-pop), and 120 minutes
(for the modern rock.) I'm tempted to include
something for rap, since the 80s were the last gasp
before gangsta jamz. No game shows ("Remote Control"
was nice yes, but one game show will leads to hundreds
of others.)

BTW: The VJ called "Safety Dance" one of the greatest
and ahead of its time. I'm sure many of us here could
agree with that one.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Chris
(A gen-x'er who grew up in the 80s and enjoys stuff
like:

Bruce Cockburn - If I Had A Rocket Launcher (yes there
was a video for this)
Cyndi Lauper's - Hole in My Heart (that goes all the
way to China) - although I seem to be the only one who
remembers this song.
Thompson Twins - Lies (Lies Lies Yeah)
Missing Persons - Words (what are words for...)
Slade - Run Run Away (see the Chameleon, lying there
in the sun)
New Order - Bizzare Love Triangle (everytime I see you
falling, I get down on my knees and pray)
Alan Parsons Project - Don't answer me (nominated for
best video award in 1984)
B52s - Private Idaho (Rock Lobster was 1979, and this
still beats the pants off of "Love Shack")
Rational Youth - Saturdays in Silesia
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart (a classic)
General Public - Tenderness
---and of course Men Without Hats ;))

Not so.  I got the picture sleeve 45 of that one!  (MP3s anyone?)

And wasn't it the single from the Vibes soundtrack?  I'd guess it isn't =

well remembered because it doesn't have an album to be identified =

with.  Cyndi's big screen debut, I think.

Methinks some of us on this list know a little to much for our own =

good. ;)

Happy Holidays. :)

Thats the one! (have that one on MP3 along with "The
Goonies 'R Good Enuff" (yet another classic!) Never
saw the movie Vibes, but do remember the video for
that song (its a good one...well far better than the
awful "True Colors" IMO)

Actually that one does appear on the Vibes soundtrack
sold in Japan, but unfortunately nothing else (not
even the greatest hits ones.)

Maybe MWH should cover that one (and the Goonies one)
on their next album? O:)

(me? stuck in the 1980s? nahhh!) ;)

I like that song but it wasn't included on the soudntrakc because, as I
remember hearing at the time, the song didn't well enough.  I guess they
wanted everyone to forget.

I was hoping "Hole In My Heart" would be on her "12 Deadly Cyns" DVD.
No such luck.  Hopefully it shows up on the "Vibes" DVD like her video
for Goonies did.  Oh well, at least my VHS copy is fairly decent. :-)

That DVD compilation is an amazing collection of videos though!  I kind
of thought Cyndi faded out of the biz but she has actually created some
really nice stuff lately.  "The World Is Stone" and "Sally's Pigeons"
are truly beautiful videos and show Cyndi's song writing has definitely
matured.

Maybe you're having difficulty with the flash plug-in?  In which case,
MWH is now about halfway done the new album and is on track for a summer
2002 release.

Of course, this is more or less a progress report and isn't actually
anything "new".  If that is what you actually meant, then  ...never
mind.

no, it would just be useful if, when mentioning that there's something
new, if they mentioned what it related to.  It's been so long since the
last update, that the text looked the same to me, and as such, no I
couldn't really find anything new.  (=
