According to How To Alphabetize Things, we alphabetize by custom titling rather than the database name of the trope (the example listed in the description is Hundred Percent Completion should come before Alpha Bitch because numbers are alphabetized before letters).


Men Without Hats are a pop group from Montreal, Quebec that achieved their greatest popularity in the early to mid 1980s. They were characterized by the deep, expressive vocals of their lead singer Ivan and their elaborate use of synthesizers and electronic processing. Their most successful single, "The Safety Dance", was a Top 10 hit in both the US and the UK. Despite often being considered a OneHitWonder in the United States, they had another Top 40 hit there a few years after "The Safety Dance" called "Pop Goes the World" (which was popular enough to grace the Top 20 as well).

Added DiffLines:

* FakeOutFadeOut: On the original release of ''Folk Of The 80s (Part III)'', "Mother's Opinion" fades out at 7:48, then fades back in with an added flange effect and keeps going for another minute, this being a tribute to the similar ending of Music/RoxyMusic's "In Every Dream Home A Heartache". The most recent remaster of the album removes the false ending, as did some international editions of the original release.

* NewSoundAlbum: ''Sideways'', the band's last album before their 12-year hiatus, abandoned many of their trademarks, including their reliance on the synthesizer as a key element in their sound, eschewing them for a more modern, {{Grunge}}-ish feel. It didn't work.
