Ha! Ha! Ha! is the second album by British pop group Ultravox, at that time known as "Ultravox!", with an exclamation mark, as a nod to Neu!. Although the group would later achieve fame and commercial success with lead singer Midge Ure the band was, in 1977, led by singer/songwriter John Foxx who was accompanied by guitarist Stevie Shears, drummer Warren Cann, bassist Chris Cross and keyboard/violist Billy Currie.
==Release== Ha! Ha! Ha! was released on 14 October 1977, and was accompanied by lead single "ROckWrok" backed with "Hiroshima Mon Amour", which was released a week earlier. Neither reached the pop charts, although Island Records continued to have faith in the band. As a consequence of the album's confusing typography – it is variously known as Ha!-Ha!-Ha!, -ha!-ha!-ha! and Ha! Ha! Ha! (which is the actual title), the group decided to abandon their exclamation mark for subsequent releases.
