Everybody have fun tonight!

It has the same number of syllables as "everybody have fun tonight", and contains the band's name. That is what it means.

Thanks. You have totally ruined my 80s high school years.

"Wang Chung is the feeling, not the word. It represents an abstract, an escape from pragmatic, complex ideas. Wang Chung means whatever you want it to mean. Have fun with it. That's the whole idea of the line 'Everybody Wang Chung Tonight,'

or it could mean turds as erikistired said. did you sing Karaoke ?

Well, you know what "wang" is a slang word for, right?

Put 2 and 2 together to figure out what it means to chung the wang.

Ah, Dr... it's meant to be the sound of playing guitar - the downstroke is the wang, the upstroke is the chung...


... umm, on second thought, you may be correct...

wiki:

The name Huang Chung (simplified Chinese: 黄钟; traditional Chinese: 黃鐘; pinyin: huáng zhōng) literally translates from Chinese as "yellow bell" but, in this case, refers to the standardized bass pitch of ancient China. Early on the band summarized the definition as "perfect pitch" and later, on American Bandstand, they claimed it was the sound a guitar made.

. . .so everybody ring your yellow bell?

It's when Connie Chung sits on your wang.
