"You know, my make-up artist gave me a song which she says is my theme song, it's Goody Two Shoes by Adam Ant. The verse is really funny ... [she starts singing] lots of innuendo follows/there must be something inside ...". For all her inherent sweetness (Goodrem is a light and breezy conversationalist in real life, her words often tumbling over the top of one another), there has been a noticeable shift in the selling of Goodrem to the overseas market.

No one could shoot Hills: not because he was in the toilet at the Logies and not because Hills is, technically speaking, disabled (he was born without a right foot); and not even because his idol is 1980s pop star Adam Ant. No, no one could shoot Hills because he is simply too nice. (Sydney Morning Herald -- Entertainment)
Morissette, My Morning Jacket have new CDs Jun 14, 2008
On this occasionally oddball stroll through the bands twisted psycho-Southern backcountry, Highly Suspicious, an eyelinered, WTF 80s rocker that would greatly please Adam Ant, backs up against Im Amazed, a soul-drenched singalong that sounds like it was conceived, after a few degrees of separation, in Big Pink. James simultaneous obsessions with Crazy Horse, Prince and folk create strong, oft-memorable foundations beneath each of the records flights of fancy. (MSNBC -- Music)

London exhibit charts a history of sailor chic Jul 24, 2007
Martin sees a jockeying for gender identity in the 1980s, when the classic 18th-century captain's "undress" coat morphs into the Westwood pirates' look and into the foppish frock coat worn by the new romantic rock star Adam Ant. "It was going back to a golden age of buccaneers, but rebellious," said Martin, referring to the rejection of Punk, the gender-bending complexities of male frills and furbelows and the emergence in 1979 of the Village People with their cheeky disco hit "In the Navy.".

* Shakespeare's tragedy gets the Gallic treatment Apr 6, 2007
This is a modern musical, which means that women are garbed in what might be called the "medieval/gothic romantic look" with bustiers and tight ruffles, and long trenchcoats for Romeo and his friends, more Adam Ant than heavy velvets and brocades. The leads all have terrific voices, judging from their impromptu performance at a recent press conference in Taipei, but they will be singing to a pre-recorded soundtrack.
