"ROckWrok" is a single by the post-punk band Ultravox!, released on 7 October 1977 by Island Records. It was the last British non-free single (the next, "Quirks", came free along initial copies of the album) released from the Ha! Ha! Ha! album and featuring Stevie Shears as guitarist. The next non-free single was Frozen Ones, released only in Germany shortly afterwards. This single, like all the Ha!-Ha!-Ha!-era releases, didn't perform well in the charts.

  • «ROckWrok» es el tercer sencillo de la banda de new wave Ultravox!, lanzado por Island Records el 7 de octubre de 1977.​ Fue el último sencillo a la venta por sí solo siendo lanzado en el Reino Unido (el siguiente, Quirks, vino gratis junto con las primeras copias del segundo álbum Ha! Ha! Ha!) en que el guitarrista original Stevie Shears participaría. El siguiente sencillo a la venta, Frozen Ones, fue lanzado en Alemania, en el mismo año.​ ROckWrok, la canción principal y contenida en la cara A, tiene sonidos punk derivados de la batería de Warren Cann, la guitarra de Stevie Shears y el estilo fuerte de voz de John Foxx. La canción fue interpretada en concierto hasta la gira estadounidense de 1979, antes que Foxx se separara de la banda. Hiroshima Mon Amour, en la cara B, es una versión más roquera de la última canción del álbum Ha! Ha! Ha!, donde tiene un estilo más derivado a los sintetizadores, es decir, es más electrónico; habiendo también una tercera versión, tocada en 1978, en el programa Old Grey Whistle Test. Fue compuesta por Foxx y Billy Currie, quienes tomaron el nombre de la canción por el título de la película de Jean Luc Godard. (es)
  • "ROckWrok" is a single by the post-punk band Ultravox!, released on 7 October 1977 by Island Records. It was the last British non-free single (the next, "Quirks", came free along initial copies of the album) released from the Ha! Ha! Ha! album and featuring Stevie Shears as guitarist. The next non-free single was Frozen Ones, released only in Germany shortly afterwards. "ROckWrok" features a punk sound derived from Warren Cann's drums and Stevie Shears' guitar alongside John Foxx's hard vocals. It was regularly performed live until Ultravox's U.S. and Canadian tour in 1979, when Foxx decided to go solo. The song was performed live by Massive Attack on their 2019 tour. They had previously sampled "ROckWrok" for their 1998 song Inertia Creeps. The B-side is an early version or demo, or alternate version of "Hiroshima Mon Amour" (named after the famous French movie), written by John Foxx and Billy Currie. It has a punkier sound than the album version of the song. A third version of the song was performed live on the Old Grey Whistle Test the next year, with Robin Simon replacing Shears as guitarist; it was quieter than the "ROckWrok" single version but maintained the rock style, also differing from the synthpop oriented version on Ha!-Ha!-Ha!. This single, like all the Ha!-Ha!-Ha!-era releases, didn't perform well in the charts. (en)
