Adam And The Ants - Ant Rap Prince Charming
Review by Abhishek Kale
Adam and The Ants' album, "Prince Charming," is a true masterpiece of the 80s new wave and post-punk scene. The album is a perfect blend of catchy pop melodies, punk attitude, and surreal storytelling, all wrapped up in Adam Ant's unique and flamboyant persona.
From the opening track, "Scorpios," with its pulsing rhythm and ominous lyrics, to the infectious title track, "Prince Charming," the album never fails to captivate and entertain. The standout hit "Ant Rap" is a playful and witty take on the then-emerging rap genre, complete with Adam Ant's trademark swagger and humor.
But the album is not just about catchy tunes and clever lyrics. It also showcases Adam Ant's musical versatility and experimentation, with tracks like "Mile High Club" and "Mowhok" featuring unexpected instrumentation and inventive arrangements.

A hit here in Britain I think at the end of 1981 into 1982 and also the last Adam and the Ants hit before he went solo from what I can remember. A swish video filmed at Bodiam Castle in East Sussex and with Lulu in it as well!! Their previous number one hit Prince Charming had Diana Dors in the video from what I can remember also too. Their other number one hit Stand and Deliver before it the video I think was filmed at the time at Hatfield House in Hertfordshire by Mike Mansfield. Well done of course!!
You dont get lyrics like that anymore.
