1984 Classic

The creation of “The Wild Boys” unfolded during the waning days of July 1984, set against the backdrop of the venerable Maison Rouge Studios nestled in the heart of London. Accompanied by an iconic music video, this composition weaves a mesmerizing narrative within a dystopian future tableau, cementing its status as an indelible hallmark among the video productions of the 1980s. Not content with mere mediocrity, this opus ascended to unprecedented heights, etching its name among the pantheon of the band’s chart-topping classics. It claimed an illustrious second place on the prestigious US Billboard Hot 100, holding sway for an impressive four-week span. Its reign was second only to the chart dominators “Out of Touch” by Hall & Oates and “Like a Virgin” by Madonna. The song also claimed the pinnacle of success on the US Cash Box chart. Closer to home, it earned a commendable second spot on the UK Singles Chart, while effortlessly securing the topmost position in charts across Germany, South Africa, and Canada. Across the vast expanse of Australia, it was welcomed with open arms, ascending to the coveted third position on their musical charts.
