Pop Goes The World - Re-Record

They're best known for "The Safety Dance," but Men Without Hats had another hit with this poppy number from 1987. Frontman Ivan Doroschuk, who wrote the song, introduced it in later years by saying it was about mescaline, but is not about "getting your clothes really clean."

This song fits in the "fictional musicians" category as it tells the story of Johnny and Jenny, who form a band called The Human Race.

The "big Bonhomme" mentioned in the lyric refers to the smiling white mascot for the Quebec Winter Carnival (the band is from that area). This creature shows up in the video, which like "The Safety Dance," was directed by Tim Pope.
