Men Without Hats-"Pop Goes The World"

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I've been a huge Men Without Hats fan since the '80s and can safely say that they were my favorite band of the decade, so I can probably answer just about any question you have about their releases, BUT... unfortunately I've never owned any of their promo items!

The Ogilio Collection CD does have the "Ladies & Gentleman" talk.  And I don't have the vinyl, but I do have the original 1987 Pop Goes The World cassette and the original Canadian CD release.  Both versions of "Pop Goes The World" are identical.

	The 'Single Version' found on the U.S. promo CD single, as opposed to the '7" Version" found elsewhere in the world (including North America) on the commercial single, is bizarre and unique. The first two tracks on the "Pop Goes The World" album, not single, are: 1. Intro 1:49 2. Pop Goes The World 3:43 The 'Single Version' is the 'Album Version' of "Pop Goes The World' preceded by the last 5 seconds of 'Intro' as one track. The 'Album Version' of 'Pop Goes The World" includes a sort of intro of its own: 'Ladies and gentlemen, boys an girls, pop goes the world by Men Without Hats'. If you take off the first six seconds (of the 'Album Version'), that leaves you with the '7" Version'. Here's the album's full playlist, the first two tracks are 'Intro' and 'Pop Goes The World': https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3B55EC466FD86734 Edited by Loveland
