(assuming, of course, correct tonal inflection most likely not exhibited in their pronunciation of their own name in their sole hit)

Okay, the Wiki tells me two things:

1. The name Wang Chung was summarized by the band early on saying the definition was "perfect pitch" and later, on American Bandstand, they claimed it was the sound a guitar made.

2. They had five chart hits. Huh?

okay, and a third thing: FOR SOME REASON THE CARS WERE THE OPENING BAND FOR WANG CHUNG'S 1984 TOUR.

WTF?

Wang Chung isn't worthy of sloppy seconds on Rik Okasek's groupies. That's just bizarre.
