"Fire In The Twilight" by Wang Chung

Wang Chung was originally called Huang Chung, which means "yellow bell," and refers to the first note on the Chinese classical music scale.

This English new wave band started making waves on the chart in 1984 when "Don't Let Go" landed at #38. Their follow-up single, "Dance Hall Days," reached #16 and has become an 80s staple.

Wang Chung then delved into soundtrack work, including this underrated track for The Breakfast Club (which failed to chart), and a full soundtrack for To Live And Die In L.A., whose song of the same name peaked at #41 in 1985.

The band came back in a big way in 1986 with their album "Mosaic." The lead single, "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" spent 2 weeks at #2 and had everybody wondering what it meant to "Wang Chung Tonight." "Let's Go" gave the band their final Top 10 hit, peaking at #9. "Hypnotize Me," which was also featured on the soundtrack for Innerspace, landed at #36 and would become the band's final Top 40 appearance.

The band's final album of the 80s was "The Warmer Side of Cool," and only produced a minor hit with "Praying To A New God," which stalled at #63 in 1989. It's puzzling since I consider this record to be one of their stronger efforts. Wang Chung has released sporadic tunes since, including a reworked version of their biggest hit, "Everybody Stay Safe Tonight," to wish everyone well during the COVID-19 pandemic.
