The Cosmopolitans was a United States new wave band that was based in New York from 1979 until 1982. The band was best known for songs "(How to Keep Your) Husband Happy" and "Wild Moose Party" released on Alan Betrock's Shake Records in 1980 (US), and Albion Records in 1981 (UK). Characterized by its quirky choreography and lyrics, songs were often based on tabloid news stories. Shows often included 1960s go-go dance lessons, Wild Moose-call contests, baton routines, and chartreuse fake furs worn over blue mini-skirts.
