Comments for Men Without Hats, Rhythm Of Youth

The Canadian version, which substitutes (the far superior) "Living in China" for the forgettable "Antarctica", is, in my opinion, the best album ever made. Every track save one has a hook that stays with you forever, and lead singer Ivan belts out lyrics with the in-your-face attitude of a man who knows he's created perfection.

Okay, so I goofed on this one. Men Without Hats is from CANADA.

I believe you're both wrong. The Band was from Austrailia. Do you know where I can find Rythym of Youth on CD?

i would like to find this album on cd also, can anyone help me?

This is a wonderful album, full of great, melodic music and sincere lyrics. It rewards repeated listening, with layered melodies and warm synthesizer tones, unlike often "cold" techno music. The band obviously cares about the sounds they're making, which makes it that much better.

I can say that "Men Without Hats" are from Canada, that`s true. Last name of three brothers "Doroschuk" is ukrainian last name, but they speak in French-Canadian patois. One of my favourite albums - alternative way, different from "Ultravox", "Human League",etc.

Men Without Hats is *definitely* a Canadian band. They are from Montreal, Quebec. They were managed by Marc Durand, who was also responsible for bringing us The Box.

As far as CD production, this album has fallen through the cracks. Apparently the company that owned the rights went out of business, and no one else is allowed to press a CD. I fear we shall never have this one, except on vinyl. If anyone hears anything else on this, or if I am wrong, please let me know. (sw 8-12-96)

You guys aren't Men Without Hats fans if you're still asking around where they're from. Canada, OK. If you have any questions regarding MWH, mail them to usanda.busto@utoronto.ca

Yo fans, anybody know when 2 on 1 CD of first 2 albums will be released? world? New Zealand?

This album is a timeless classic and has been in my top ten list since it's release in 83. It's catchy, melodic, and undeniably unique. As far as the CD release goes, I spoke to Oglio Records last month and they said they are going international with this release and it should be out overseas before the end of the year and in America sometime after the new year. The CD will consist of Rythm of Youth and Folk of the 80's 3.Those of you with the original Rythm of Youth CD will want to hold on to it for the Folk of the 80's ep tracks, and damn you for having it!

i have rhythm of youth on cd. i have folk3 on cd. i have a cd recorder a cd recorder to make more cds from my originals. anyone interested.

I have had a lifetime of 'working the music industry' and I can honestly say that I have never heard an album like Rhythm of Youth nor a band like MWOH. Their music is unique (dare I say it in an industry of clones?) as are their sounds; I'm an electronically-based musician myself, I know electronic instruments back-to-front and I STILL can't work out what gear they use. Delicious!!

Does anyone know how I can get the lyrics to the song "I Got the Message"? I would love to know.

I too have fallen under the mystical "Hats" spell. The first album was indeed a milestone. It's strikes me a very odd how this one record affected me so deeply...almost an obsession! Groups such as Yes and Elp never did this to me, even though I love their music too Okay Ivan, just what kind of "Spell" did you cast on Rhythm of Youth. And now like William Shatner and Captain Kirk are as one so too is Ivan and ..."The Hats", or as Darwin so cleverly put it "men without hats" .The new Monkees!

First of all; "rhytm of youth" released in 1983 ? I bought the album (which is printed in England) in 1982. Secondly: Yorkie, I tried to e-mail you the lyrics but it didn´t work. Some problem with AOL I think. Anyway, I´ll include it here instead. It´s mine not yours get down on all fours it´s long and hard this road to mars c´est moi c´est toi c´est nous c´est cool c´est long c´est dur frappons nos tętes contre les murs I have done a good thing I got you going everybody´s moving, watch out it´s showing I have done a good thing I got you dancing & everybody´s happy I have done a good thing I got you moving everybody´s dancing they´re really grooving I have done a good thing (dansez moderne) & everybody´s happy I got the message & the message is clear I really really really really wish you were here it was written on the back of a carton d´allumettes it said I don´t really miss you but I haven´t tried yet I got the message & the message is proof there really is a thing they call the rythm of youth it will pick you up & it will make you wiggle this way et c´est facile ŕ dire & it´s easy to say they got this thing they call the rhythm of life it says to settle down & get a dog & a wife & everybody´s doing it all over the land et oui je ne comprends pas oh yes I don´t understand 1981 tactik music / les éditions chapeau Lyrics as written on the album from 1982. Have a nice one, Mats.

Hallo Ich suche die Cd`s von MEN WITHOUT HATS Rythm of youth und Folk of the 80`s please send am mail on clara@foni.net

I love this album. Does anybody know how I can get a copy of it on CD?

screw cd's! buy vinyl! You can still find their lp's at the better used record stores. ROY was one of my favorite albums...till Pop Goes the World came out!

I found a promotional vinyl copy of Men Without Hats "Folk of the 80s - Part III" at a used record store here. Cost me $4 to get it. Some of the best money that I have ever spent. Found the "Collection" CD from Oglio at Best Buy. Only one they had from Men Without Hats. Well worth buying at $15.

"The Safety Dance" got into the top 10 and made Men Without Hats famous for at least 15 minutes or so.

You can get CD's of Rythm Of Youth and Folk Of The 80's (part III) from some Canadian Music shops.. the info is on menwithouthats.com. And for both albums worth of music, its $14 US$!!! woo hooo ($4 shipping, but thats cool with me. Go, Buy, Enjoy. (able to finally ditch my burned napster version and get one from the band.. makes me happy)

Everything you want on the hats, e-mail me Everything you need on the hats, e-mail me Bootlegs, Posters, interview, copies. etc. I was working with the band during the 80's.

For those outhere who are new wave fans, this album is a masterpiece, It's a shame that MWH are only known for their hit single Safety dance, I heard that they will remastered this album very soon, just can wait!
