==Background==
Lead vocalist Jack Hues said,

{{quote|I used to teach guitar in various schools in London, to high school kids. One afternoon someone didn't show up for a lesson and I just came up with "Dance Hall Days" – it seemed to write itself. I fiddled around with it to get the lyrics right and so on but the basic ideas – the rhythm, the "take your baby by the hand" melody, the opening chords – they all came together. The essentials of the song were there in that spare 20 minutes when the kid forgot his guitar lesson! [[Nick Feldman|Nick [Feldman]]] says when he heard it he immediately phoned David Massey, our manager, and said, "Jack's written a hit!!"<ref>{{cite interview|title= Interview with Jack Hues of the band Wang Chung |website= Kickin' it Old School |date= January 7, 2011 |accessdate= August 13, 2021 |url= https://www.rediscoverthe80s.com/2019/11/interview-with-jack-hues-of-band-wang.html}}</ref>}}

==Music videos==
Two different [[music video]]s were made to promote the single. The first version of the video, directed by [[Derek Jarman]],<ref>{{cite book|first= Rowland |last= Wymer |year= 2005 |title= Derek Jarman |publisher= [[Manchester University Press]] |page= 188 |isbn= 0-7190-5690-X |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=BQi9C_bChgYC&pg=PA188}}</ref> is a collection of home movies with the majority of the [[Stock footage|archive footage]] consisting of a stage show with swimmers and fountains, and other [[World War II]]-era material. Apparently, the footage is courtesy of the director's father, who was one of the first people to use a colour home movie camera. The toddler in the home movie footage is the director himself as a child. The home movies are interspersed amid footage of Jack, Nick, and Darren, lip-synching and playing the violin. The band are also dressed up as characters from ''[[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz|The Wizard of Oz]]'' (1900) at the end of the video, with [[Jack Hues]] as the [[Tin Woodman|Tin Man]], [[Nick Feldman]] as the [[Scarecrow (Oz)|Scarecrow]], and Darren Costin as the [[Cowardly Lion|Lion]].

The second version of the video is the most well-known, and received heavy rotation airplay at [[MTV]].{{citation needed|date=June 2018}} It is a magical fantasy concept video set in the 1940s, the heyday of [[dance hall]]s. The video begins in [[black and white]], with Jack Hues stopping in front of a closed-down hall, setting down the suitcase he carries, and picking up a flyer. The scene shifts to [[Color photography|colour]], featuring the band performing in the packed hall with the backing of a [[big band]] as couples dance (played by heavily made-up children from a local dancing school).{{citation needed|date=June 2018}} Later, a [[disco ball]] descends to the floor and breaks open, allowing a mirror-covered dancer to emerge. The video ends in black and white, with Hues walking past the hall and down the street; he leaves his suitcase behind, but it sprouts legs and hurries off after him.

"Dance Hall Days"

"Dance Hall Days" is a song by the English new wave band Wang Chung. It was originally released as a single in 1982 when the band was called Huang Chung, then it was re-recorded and released a year later in 1983 for the studio album Points on the Curve. It was the band's only single to make the top 40 in the UK. In the US, it peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 and went to number one on the Dance Club Songs chart.

Music videos

[edit]

Two different music videos were made to promote the single. The first version of the video, directed by Derek Jarman,[3] is a collection of home movies[4] with the majority of the archive footage consisting of a stage show with swimmers and fountains, and other World War II-era material. Apparently, the footage is courtesy of the director's father, who was one of the first people to use a colour home movie camera. The toddler in the home movie footage is the director himself as a child.[5] The home movies are interspersed amid footage of Jack, Nick, and Darren, lip-synching and playing the violin. The band are also dressed up as characters from The Wizard of Oz (1900) at the end of the video, with Jack Hues as the Tin Man, Nick Feldman as the Scarecrow, and Darren Costin as the Lion.

The second version of the video is a magical fantasy concept video set in the 1940s, the heyday of dance halls. The video begins in black and white, with Jack Hues stopping in front of a closed-down hall, setting down the suitcase he carries, and picking up a flyer. The scene shifts to colour, featuring the band performing in the packed hall with the backing of a big band as couples dance. Later, a disco ball descends to the floor and breaks open, allowing a mirror-covered dancer to emerge. The video ends in black and white, with Hues walking past the hall and down the street; he leaves his suitcase behind, but it sprouts legs and hurries off after him.

This version was nominated for Best New Artist at the 1984 MTV Video Music Awards, losing to "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by Eurythmics.[6]
