Men Without Hats - Ban The Game Lyrics

Music for run away

I started discovering Men Without Hats about two years ago when I was looking for work. I then got hired by a company based just outside of Montréal. Now their music is what I listen to make me think of Montréal!

Does anyone know the lyrics to this song? I can't find them anywhere >_<

What game are they talking about?

KISSING ASS TO JEWISH BANKSTERS !...the game

Why isn't this on any of their albums on Google Play our Amazon?

There's a strange tuneless 49 second version, but not this.

+Alastair Ward The song you're hearing is technically Ban the Game II. The short preamble was on the album Rhythm of Youth.

That was some stupid demo they put on there. I don't know why. At least they made it a full song.

This is fantastic... even if I just lost the game.

bandi53 2 years later, I too lose it.

awesome

you can dance if you wanna.......

Very Very Underated Band

Thanks for uploadiing thiiis!!!

Wow, I never heard this version. I only know the Folk of the '80s intro.

i lost the game, and got banned as well.... this sucks

Welp, I just lost The Game. Thanks MWH.

@thegreencow1337 FUUUUUUUUUUCKK!!

@thegreencow1337 FUUUUUUUUUUCKK!!

I'm looking for the spoken version that was the opening to "Safety Dance" on "Rhythm of Youth". Anybody?

That's the extended version

Antartica is my fav!

(dont hate me for thinking this) but does it sound a little more like he is saying blame the game? or am i just hearing it wrong

I think he’s saying playing the game but I can see what you mean

By the mid-80's people were all up in arms against Dungeons & Dragons, and us fans were "living in a fire" like you wouldn't believe, our own parents willing to beat us to death for rolling dice. Even Tom Hanks participated in "Mazes & Monsters," the TV movie out to spread stereotypes of the wigged-out Dungeons & Dragons-player. But we said "screw you" and in the end we were right. There'll be no banning of this or any game.

isnt it strange? or isnt it just like me to replay this video about 5 times lol

i didnt like the music or the vocals to the song... as soon as he sang the second verse i love the song now... hes an amazing musician, i feel like ive been hypnotised

making me dizzy this song is "flummig"

thanks to this song i lost it

@CaesiusX This song is only a demo version anyway, hence the simple drum pattern (similar to their demo song, "Rhythm of Youth"), and yes I would agree with you that it should sound more like the short version. For their "Live Hats" DVD and Freeways tour, they did try to merge both song versions into one, and gave it some changes that made it sound different from the demo version.

why didn't they include this song in the album Rhythm of Youth? It would of been good to have made it a second part of the short album version of ban the game.

DEVO+ALPHAVILLE=MEN WITHOUT HATS

@Unsupervisedchild - also look for "Editions of You" - the song REALLY kicks into "cool mode" after 42 seconds.

Early 80s - love the style and the uniqueness and the diversity of the music.
