Their huge smash “Everybody Have Fun Tonight”, with it’s line ‘Everybody Wang Chung tonight’, even becoming a verb.. . . ‘to Wang Chung’ meaning anything from ‘to have fun’ to much ruder interpretations. Icons such as Homer Simpson, Frazier Crane, Beavis and Butthead, Charlie Harper and his brother Alan Harper (on Two and a Half Men) have name checked the band on TV and Wang Chung even achieved punchline status in the Austin Powers, The Spy Who Shagged Me movie.
