How do I Wang Chung? | TheaterFire

"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.

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.

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.

[-]

First you have to drive a million miles. Then you Havertown rip it up.
Then rip it down. Then cool down. Then gave fun.

That is how you Wang Chung.

Can you tell me what a Wang chug is?

[-]

Suspicious_Art9118@reddit

How is Wang chug formed

[-]

uttyrc@reddit

Yet nobody asks how Wang Chung is.

[-]

soveymaker@reddit

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.

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

[-]

OK. Let me stop the safety dance and I’ll teach you.

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

dafuqizzis@reddit

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!!

Ask someone. After all Everyone Want Chung tonight so it can't be hard.

And if you don't do it then 'almost everyone wang chung tonight'

[-]

snarfled1@reddit

I’ve done it, but what happens with Wang Chung stays with Wang Chung.

[-]

monstar98277@reddit

It’s adjacent to doing the Egyptian, and close cousin to the Safety Dance.
