"Young Parisians" is the debut single from Adam and the Ants, released by Decca Records on 20 October 1978. The A-side "Young Parisians" was an acoustic cabaret-style number, while the B-side, "Lady" demonstrated the band's capacity for fast-paced punk rock. At the time, the band were combining the punk sound of their earliest days with a more experimental ethos which would characterize their 1979 debut Dirk Wears White Sox and, to some extent, its 1980 follow-up Kings of the Wild Frontier (by which time only Adam Ant remained from the line-up of the debut single).

| - "Young Parisians" is the debut single from Adam and the Ants, released by Decca Records on 20 October 1978. The A-side "Young Parisians" was an acoustic cabaret-style number, while the B-side, "Lady" demonstrated the band's capacity for fast-paced punk rock. At the time, the band were combining the punk sound of their earliest days with a more experimental ethos which would characterize their 1979 debut Dirk Wears White Sox and, to some extent, its 1980 follow-up Kings of the Wild Frontier (by which time only Adam Ant remained from the line-up of the debut single). In December 1980, following the initial success of Kings of the Wild Frontier and its singles "Dog Eat Dog" and 'Antmusic', the single was re-promoted in the UK, reaching #9 on the UK Singles Chart. In Australia, DJs on Sydney's Double J radio station preferred to play the B-side, "Lady", which garnered enough attention for "Lady" rather than the A-Side to appear on the 1980 compilation album In the Bag. "Young Parisians" has been included on Antmusic: The Very Best of Adam Ant & The Very Best Of Adam And The Ants. A demo version is the lead track on the first disc of the Antbox three CD set. (en)
