Back in '96 it was easy to see who and how many of us there were.  A
simple "who hats" command used to provide all that info.  However, that
ability went bub-bye as internet security concerns increased.  There
used to be about a hundred or so hatless back then.  Unless lurking has
increased a whole bunch I doubt there are more than fifty of us now.

BUT... There is an entity called Lazlo who could at least tell us how
may we are!   :-)

How about it Lazlo?

Subject: (hats) Men Without Hats on Conan O'Brien

Last night on Conan,

they did their little skit where they view the "newest television stations" on the dial dropping a monitor next to Conan's desk to make it appear he is channel surfing.

They showed a couple of different stations including the "Waxed Lips News Channel" and the "Dog Psychology Channel...."

The final station was called the Men Without Hats channel....no joke.

All it was, was this one guy who, whenever approached by anybody, would respond to them by singing Safefy Dance but adding the topic of the conversation somewhere in it.

His boss fires him and he starts: "You can fire me if you want to....you can fire me right now....Cause if your friends don't fire, and if they don't fire....."

This goes on three or four times....Pretty funny.

Conan used to write for SNL a while ago and David Spade had that brief commentary about Men Without Hats as well....I wonder if Conan knows the music?

I'm still here. My band played last night - our souped-up version of
Security has become a staple of our live show. Our singer introduces it
as a MWH cover, and you should see the kids' blank looks in the audience
(except my nephew, whom I have tortured with Hats many a time!). Cool
stuff. Anyway, maybe this summer we'll actually get the damn thing
recorded and submitted for the cover project (if it even still
exists)...

Heck, I've been on the list now since '87, and I'm still here. I don't even
want to think about what percentage that works out to. ;)

No, I founded the list. It was either 87 or 88, I don't remember which.

Looks like it's up to me to raise the voice of doom here...
The idea was to make the project span all the albums and
thanks partly to me we've succeeded.
I'm the only one who contributed songs from PGTW and "Adventures...".
Someone else had also contributed one of the instrumentals
from Sideways. So Sideways, PGTW and Adventures are represented by
ONE track each. I know that's not much but it DOES span all the
current albums. We were even asked to contribute from the
unrepresented albums if at all possible.
Here's the bottom line: Let the cover project stand as it is!
If we can get it released in time for the anniversary, fine, but
don't even THINK of deleting non-ROY tracks or re-naming the
album "Tribute to ROY" or something like that!
Looks like my two cents are up.

             - Johan

Subject: (hats) Southern Hatters Unite

Since there are so many Hatters down south, allow me to be the first
to propose maybe a small reunion some weekend? We have me, my husband
who is from Quebec, Brad, Steve, Collin, I think Laura is from South
Carolina....At least I would finally get to meet some of you in
person, which I hoped to do if that show had materialized a few years
ago. We could party somewhere at a venue where they play 80's music.

I was having second thoughts about that idea as well...
Even if there was only one non-ROY contribution it would be unfair to
that artist to suddenly change course.

Don't forget Flat Stanley's WDTBG!
I think we still need a Freeways song though....

Still here. Been here first around 1995, but the list was dead silent back
then!

Quite impressive how long the list's been running well lately without ANY
sign of the admin still watching over it.
