Band Name Origins:
- I saw an interview with the band where they said the name referred to the sound of an electric guitar being strummed up, then back down. Submitted by: Ricky-rick-rick
- Supposedly, named after Wang Chung Way, a tiny street in LA's Chinatown, where there was a Chinese restaurant which put on punk shows upstairs. However, it is worth noting that the band is in fact from Kent in southeast England. Submitted by: Tim Horrigan
Stupid Band Names:

Story about this misheard lyric by: Mary Celia Decker The misheard lyrics were actually heard by a long lasting friend. But I have never been able to listen to the song without singing, 'Dance your legs off.' In fact, I have insisted that my 15 year old son know 'both' versions of the song. (He'll have to decide when he is my age!) |
