ALmommy1234@reddit
You can dance if you wanna…oh wait.
JeannieBugg@reddit
I think you have to rip it up, but I'm not 100% sure.
Still-Yogurt-9516@reddit
First you need to make sure that everyone is doing it.
CitizenChatt@reddit
And then we neutron dance !
kmerian@reddit
You can dance if we want to We can leave your friends behind 'Cause your friends don't dance And if they don't dance Well they're no friends of mine.
polarWhite2024@reddit
Is it safe?
FloridaSalsa@reddit
Referring to "The Safety Dance."
FloridaSalsa@reddit
Don't forget to watch the Safety video
88jaybird@reddit
i love that video, its so weird, my wife still hates it, but the one she really hates is the herbie hancock rocket video.
Notsureireallyexist@reddit
That actually gave me a terrible nightmare when it came out.
popsferragamo@reddit
However you do, it has to be tonight
opusrif@reddit
Take your baby by the wrist, in a mountain amethyst Take your baby by the ear, and play up on her darkest fears...
Oh wait, that's Dance Hall Days...
5usie@reddit
Everybody’s doing it.
im_dead_sirius@reddit
wearing sunglasses at night?
5usie@reddit
Noooo they are wang chunging.
im_dead_sirius@reddit
It may be dangerous, but in theory, both could be done at once.
5usie@reddit
Yes, Wang Chunging with sunglasses on at night could get you into a pickle!
RazzleP@reddit
Wait, I thought everybody was Kung Fu Fighting! I'm so confused...
FlounderSubstantial7@reddit
I assumed it was a metaphor for cocaine.
Weird-Ninja8827@reddit
Pretty sound assumption.
Economy_Ad_159@reddit
In the '80 what wasn't slang for Coke?
If you're going to ride, ride the white pony....
Weird-Ninja8827@reddit
I thought that one was heroine.
zazopolis@reddit
The correct answer is rip it up
Cmdr_Toucon@reddit
Now or tonight?
ReweSerious@reddit
You start with every one Kung fu fighting

Learned-Dr-T@reddit
This one time in college, I drank way too much beer at a backyard cookout and I wang chunged all over the bushes.
Suspicious_Art9118@reddit
You totally up-chunged!
Learned-Dr-T@reddit
LOL. Nice.
CoatSame2561@reddit
"Wang Chung" is Chinese for "yellow bell," the first note in the Chinese musical scale. The band's bassist has said it "means whatever you want it to mean." The phrase "Everybody Wang Chung tonight" became shorthand for a wild night out.
joshloveless1976@reddit
its step 2 ... step 1 is have fun tonight!
Vorathian_X@reddit

Narrow_Pepper_1324@reddit
Unfortunately, I feel asleep before I was able to Wang Chung!
manofmystry@reddit
I saw the band at a county fair a few years ago. It was a small stage in a grove of trees. Maybe thirty people were there. They sounded great! They're still bringing the music. Very fun band even after all these years.

Visible-Horror-4223@reddit
This post is a little old. Were you able to Wang Chung last night? If not, were you able to at least have fun last night?

I did wang Chung and it was fun!
ClassicOlive8745@reddit
Tonight?
attaboy_stampy@reddit
Just have fun.
moopet@reddit
shrug.
Just let yourself go down.
Stereo_Jungle_Child@reddit
Knowing how isn't important, it's that you do it tonight that's important.
spicyface@reddit
Wang refers to the down stroke with a pick on a guitar. Chung is the upstroke with a pick. If you want to Wang Chung properly, you'll need a guitar and a pick.
RustedRelics@reddit
Tonight?
BenignAtrocities@reddit
I dunno, but apparently everybody is doing it.
LadyNorbert@reddit
I thought everybody was kung fu fighting, though. Do we Wang Chung first and then kung fu fight afterward?
No-Top-772@reddit
Surely not everybody is king fu fighting?
daninw130@reddit
In fact, it was a little bit frightening.
LadyNorbert@reddit
Those kicks were fast as lightning.

First you have to drive a million miles. Then you Havertown rip it up.

Why is Wang chug
unlordtempest@reddit
I believe you and a lot of other people, or 'everyone' needs to 'have fun tonight'. At least that's what I've heard.
Suspicious_Art9118@reddit
How can they have fun when they are busy wanting to rule the world?
Livid-Technology-396@reddit
You need a Fender Stratocaster, a compressor, chorus pedal and a fender twin reverb. You could potentially Wang Chung your ass off.
VeganForAWhile@reddit
A blond telecaster might have something to say about that.
Suspicious_Art9118@reddit
You mean the bubble headed bleach blonde, that comes on at five? She can tell you. About the plane crash with a gleam in her eye.
Taranchulla@reddit
I wang chunged once, but that was in the 80’s and everyone was doing it.
Suspicious_Art9118@reddit
They had just finished Kung Fu Fighting, then they wanged chung.

Bro, if you don’t know by now, you’re never gonna get it.
introvertednurse75@reddit
Thanks. Now I'm trying to get back to sleep and this is playing in my head.
More_Law6245@reddit
I use to hate the song because to put a finer point on it, the radio stations flogged it to death, so I learned to hate it but about 10 years ago I found myself belting out Wang Chung.
peachesandsir@reddit
I saw them in concert a year or two ago at a festival and they were fantastic!
More_Law6245@reddit
If I was a betting man, I definitely wouldn't have picked that one and genuinely surprise that they're still touring. I'm glad you got to watch them perform as I've gone to see some of my favourite bands from the 80's over the last ten years and retirement might have been a better option for some of them.
peachesandsir@reddit
They were at the Totally Tubular festival along with Thomas Dolby, Men Without Hats, Bow Wow Wow, the guy from the Thompson Twins, the Plimsouls, Modern English, and Tommy Tutone.
Spiffy_Beaver@reddit
Get yourself some Chung, then Wang it.
So easy
ethersings@reddit
Not so fast Spiffy_Beaver, some need to first get a Wang before the Chung may be Wanged
WarlikeAppointment@reddit
OK. Let me stop the safety dance and I’ll teach you.

MadPiglet42@reddit
A lot of us women are up at least once at night to pee, we might as well Wang Chung while we're at it.

OMG! That made me crack up! 😂And reminds me of a poor choice spring break trip my senior year of HS. In a small town in Mexico with lots of tequila. 🥃I still can’t believe my parents just said sure, go have fun with your friends. At 17. Amazing we all survived to tell about it.

Dynamo_Ham@reddit
I saw Wang Chung when they opened for The Cars on the Heartbeat City tour. Based on what I saw, “Wang Chung”-ing must have something to do with poor lip-synching.
mitkase@reddit
I might’ve been in the same crowd. Also, the Cars were the most boring live show I’ve ever seen. Really brilliant musicians, but absolutely no stage presence.
Dynamo_Ham@reddit
I’m a huge Cars fan, but Heartbeat City also leaned in heavily on the synth/keyboard side of their sound - which didn’t do them any favors trying to create a compelling live vibe.
mitkase@reddit
Great username, btw.
Dynamo_Ham@reddit
Thanks! Not many get the reference anymore!
StormFinch@reddit
With a frontman like Ric Ocasek? What did you expect? I mean, the dude had to have something, he was married to Paulina Porizkova for twenty years, but still, I sometimes wondered if he was even capable of facial expressions. lol

It’s a verb, a noun… A state of mind
dcpanthersfan@reddit
It’s also one of the lyrics in the song. 😀
CoffeeJedi@reddit
It can be a yellow bell, the first note on the Chinese music scale, or three white English guys making new wave music. You pick which one you need.
RockTheGlobe@reddit
I would also like to know, what’s the past tense of Wang Chung? Wung Chung? Wanged Chung? Wang Chunged?
ohdearno37@reddit
Chunged your Wang, I believe is the correct past tense. Technically speaking of course!!
