Why all the hate? Everybody Have Fun Tonight and Dance Hall Days are fun songs.

Wang Chung were one-hit wonders. Their one hit was "Everybody Have Fun Tonight."

I don't get why so many of you have got such a downer on this band. They were of their time, sure....but so were Depeche Mode, OMD, Soft Cell etc. and I don't see as much hatred for them. Dancehall Days has a great "danceable" quality to it. Wang Chung are not hall of fame material, for sure, but chill out with all the unnecessary hatred.
