What does it mean when they say "everybody wang chung tonight"?
Well actually were it not for the Geffen record label, we would be saying "everybody Huang Chung tonigh."
The band took their name from a Chinese phrase that translates to "yellow bell," referring to the standardized bass pitch of ancient China.
The founders changed the meaning to "perfect pitch."*
As for why they talk about themselves in the third person in their highest charting song...I can't say, but it worked didn't it?
