Antmusic
"Antmusic" is a song by Adam and the Ants, released as the third single in the UK in 1980 from the album Kings of the Wild Frontier (released 3 November 1980).
The first single from Kings of the Wild Frontier was the title track, making number 48 (although it re-entered the charts in early 1981 peaking at number 2). The follow-up "Dog Eat Dog" made number 4 on the UK Singles Chart. "Antmusic" peaked at No. 2 in the UK in January 1981, being held off the top by the re-release of John Lennon's "Imagine" after his murder in New York City on 8 December 1980.
The music video to "Antmusic" featured the group playing in a discothèque with a giant juke box, and persuading the young audience to turn away from disco music and dance to the new-styled 'Ant-Music'. The music video was directed by Steve Barron.
The single spent five weeks at No. 1 in Australia, and earned the band platinum certification for sales of over 100,000. Adam and the Ants toured Australia in 1981 and appeared on influential TV pop show Countdown.

What do I see?
I'm looking straight through
It's so sad when you're young
To be told you're having fun
So unplug the jukebox
And do us all a favour
That music's lost it1s taste
So try another flavour
