Men Without Hats
Men Without Hats is a Canadian new wave group from Montreal, Quebec. Their music is characterized by the distinctive baritone voice of their lead singer Ivan Doroschuk as well as their elaborate use of synthesizers and electronic processing. They achieved their greatest popularity in the 1980s with "The Safety Dance", a worldwide Top Ten hit (#3 in the United States) and "Pop Goes the World".
History
Early days
Men Without Hats initially consisted of Ivan Doroschuk (vocals, keyboards) and Jeremie Arrobas (keyboards & electronics), as well as Ivan's brother Stefan (guitars), with various other members joining and leaving the group, including a third Doroschuk brother, Colin (electronics). The band was founded in 1977 in Montreal and would undergo numerous personnel changes through the rest of the decade with Stefan, Colin, and Arrobas as the only relative constants joining Ivan. The name came about because Ivan and his two brothers, following the self-described principle of "style before comfort", refused to wear hats during Montreal's cold winters, calling themselves "the men without hats." (A popular but apocryphal tale is that an announcer at an early gig misread the band's name as "Men Without Pants.")

Telepathy
by: Men Without HatsInternet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star
Dreams are falling, buddy, and who can see you?
Why lay in leisures formed when the world can breathe you?
My life in a world is bleeding
Oh no, it's a never-ending song of love
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star
And telepathy killed the Internet star
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star
And telepathy killed the Internet star
Playing you in a true migrating
Minds are mold with the head lice glaring
And young hearts in a world unhealing
And some are formed in an ever-lasting song of love, hate
See them changing worlds
Calling for the day when another set of illusions
From head down to my face
And baby, I don't know
Seems it all
Happened so long ago
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star (Happened long ago)
Internet killed the video star
And telepathy killed the Internet star (Very long ago)
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star (So long ago)
Internet killed the video star
And telepathy killed the Internet star (Happened long ago)
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star (Very long ago)
Internet killed the video star
And telepathy killed the Internet star (Happened long ago)
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star (Very long ago)
Internet killed the video star
And telepathy killed the Internet star
