Adam Ant/Marco Pirroni



London town 1730

women drunk, children dirty

they'd seen the pictures from afar

down in Gin Lane

over the bar



yo ho ho - Mowhok!

yo ho

yo ho ho - Mowhok!

yo ho aee yo ho ho hoh



here we are in the eighties

Mohican, proud and fair

goes to show that a fashion

can survive

so beware!



yo ho ho - Mowhok!

yo ho

yo ho ho - Mowhok!

yo ho aee yo ho ho hoh



ha ha hilla hey hallah hollo lo ho

Mowhok!

ha ha hilla hey hallah hollo lo ho

Dey hoh

ha ha hilla hey hallah hollo lo ho

Mowhok!

ha ha hilla hey hallah hollo lo ho...

About Mowhok

Adam Ant's "Mowhok" stands as a defining track of the early 1980s new wave and synth-pop movement, showcasing his signature blend of quirky vocals and electronic instrumentation. Released during the height of his solo career, the song exemplifies the era's fascination with futuristic soundscapes and theatrical performance, characteristic of his work alongside the Adam and the Ants. The recording captures the distinctive production style of the period, utilizing synthesizers and drum machines to create an upbeat, danceable rhythm that became a staple of the genre. As a key piece in his discography, "Mowhok" reflects the cultural zeitgeist of the early eighties, blending pop sensibilities with a unique, slightly eccentric persona that set him apart from his contemporaries. It remains a notable example of the genre's evolution and Ant's enduring influence on the landscape of British pop music.
