“White Wedding” is a song by Billy Idol that appeared on his album Billy Idol (1982). Although “The Big 80’s: Episode I” of VH1’s Pop-Up Video trivia show claims Idol wrote the song to voice his displeasure with his sister’s fiancé (who impregnated her before marrying her), on an episode of VH1 Storytellers, Idol claimed that there was never any family resentment towards his sister, and that the song was simply heightened fantasy and nothing more.

Billy Idol – Dancing With Myself
“Dancing with Myself” is a punk rock song written by singer Billy Idol and bassist Tony James, and first recorded by their band Generation X. The song was first released as a single and a 12″ in 1980 and, a few weeks after the single release, was included on the band’s last album—1981’s Kiss Me Deadly. It would become one of the group’s most well-known songs, but had limited success in its initial release.
