Release date: 1981
"Mony Mony" is a 1968 single by American pop rock band Tommy James and the Shondells. British rock artist Billy Idol released a cover version in 1981. Idol's version gave rise to an interesting custom. When the song was performed live in concert or played at a club or dance, people would shout a certain formulaic (and usually obscene) variation of a particular phrase in the two measures following each line.
Idol's version of "Mony Mony" went to No. 7 on the Billboard dance chart. A live recording of the song became a hit for Idol in 1987 as well, while promoting his then-forthcoming compilation work Vital Idol. The live version was released as a single and went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also finished at No. 19 in the 1987 year-end Billboard chart.
