Adam Ant with 1982s big, big no:1 smash hit, it is Goody Two Shoes ... written by adam and marco production by chris merrick hughes made the no:1 spot on our UK pop chart had to push off Madness with their House of Fun track to get there ... Following the dissolution of Adam and the Ants in early 1982, Adam pursued a solo career. His début as a solo artist Goody Two Shoes was produced by fired Ant Chris Hughes. The song details Adams frustration with press intrusion which was reinforced by the video and his clean cut image. The song was an instant hit, reaching no:1 on the UK chart for a fortnight in June of 1982 and later repeating the feat in Australia. Despite the success this was his third and final no:1 single. The song was his first and biggest hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U peaking at no:12. There are two versions of the cover. The first has Adam and the Ants across the top of the sleeve and the later version just Adam. This is probably due to the confusion around the timing of Adam going solo particularly as the song was performed by three fifths of the band, Adam, Marco and Merrick. There are also two different studio versions of the song. The UK 7 single version is notably different from the re recorded version which appears on Friend or Foe. The single version has a different more reverberating and better drum track from Chris Merrick Hughes in my opinion. The Friend or Foe version instead of Hughes on drums features Bogdan Wiczling, drummer on the rest of the album. This version also appeared on the US edition of the single........ with the heartbreak open so much you cant hide put on a little make up, make up make sure they get your good side, good side If the words unspoken get stuck in your throat send a treasure token, token write it on a pound note, pound note goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes dont drink, dont smoke, what do you do dont drink, dont smoke, what do you do subtle innuendos follow there must be something inside we dont follow fashion thatd be a joke you know were going to set them, set them so everyone can take note, take note when they saw you kneeling crying words that you mean opening their eyeballs, eyeballs pretending that youre Al Green, Al Green goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes dont drink, dont smoke, what do you do dont drink, dont smoke, what do you do subtle innuendos follow there must be something inside .....
