Lyrics:
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now
I made a run, I run out yesterday
Tried to find my mountain hideaway
Maybe next year, maybe no go
I know you're watching me every minute of the day, yeah
I've seen the signs and the looks and pictures
That give your game away, yeah
There's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to say
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
Do you feel the same 'cause you don't let it show (ooh)
People stare and cross the road from me
And jungle drums they all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind, can you see in the snow
And fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war
There's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to say
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
Do you feel the same 'cause you don't let it show
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know? (please, please tell me now)
Is there something I should say? (please, please tell me now)
That would make you come my way (please, please tell me now)
Please, please tell me now
Can you see what makes me blow? (please, please tell me now)
Can you see how much I die? (please, please tell me now)
Every time it passes by (please, please tell me now)
Please, please tell me now
What it takes to make you show (please, please tell me now)
Is there something I should know? (please, please tell me now)
Is there something I should say? (please, please tell me now)

Life was perfect when Duran Duran was playing daily on the radio. Love being a teenager in the 80's! Best times ever.
Hey!.....Yeah, the only downside to being a teenager in the 80's is that u r really old now......
I could not agree more, we should get together lol
Yes Very Very True. Life Sucks Now.
Hey sweety, you must be almost my same age. I love you for that. Something to confess: I never had a woman cos my mental problems. Neverdeless I love those times.
Especially in the UK..The Annie Nightingale Show...x
John Taylor never gets enough credit for his skills. One of the best bassists to ever pick up the instrument.
True indeed!! The licks at the end of this jam are superb!
What are you expecting, weekly national newspaper headlines? He's always getting praise from what I've seen. Read more comments I'd say mate., people are always saying how good he is.
Totally agree 👍
Yed
actually between bass players he is finally getting the credit he deserves. Anyway he play bass and not everyone knows what it is....
This song, this band, their music. Timeless. How can it be 40 years since Rio? I was a fan when I was 14. I'm 54 now and still think they're wonderful.
Time sure flies by.
I was 8 years old when Rio came out and i still remember. Now,im almost 48 and im sure it were the best years of my life.
I have always loved Duran Duran too since I was 12, I had posters all over my bedroom walls. I am now in my 50's and I still love them
Me too 51 hungry like the wolf got me into them.
I'm with you, Tracer. I am 54 years old as well and I loved this song when I first heard it. Also big on "Rio", "New Moon On Monday", "The Reflex", and many others!
I’m a child of the 80’s and was about 10 years old when this came out. There was no better time to have music like this on everyday, all day, on the radio and on TV. Duran Duran really was a huge part of the soundtrack to my childhood.
We are about the same age, bought a VHS tape of theirs, COD. let the youngsters chomp on that
Congrats to them for being induced into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Oh yeah? Finally! Congrats to them :)
I know Right!!
Shame that Andy wasn't there. Sadly, he has stage 4 metastatic cancer.
@@dorothypozi543 Andy gave a recent update on his Health and said his Cancer was in Remission! The Video is on RUclips somewhere.
@@dorothypozi543Sad to hear that. 😔
Back in the day of songs, bands, albums, instruments. Videos, music stores. Dreaming, searching, discovering, collecting. Clothes, concerts, fun. Up late, land lines, waiting until midnight tickets going on sale and speed dialing to get floor seats. Going with best friends at 15 and sneaking wine coolers and dancing. Wouldn’t trade being a teen in the eighties for anything-once in a lifetime experience and this takes me back as if time stopped…
FACTS WELL SAID ❤ ❤ ❤❤❤❤
Some fun times in the 80s
"Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war" great line
If you were not around in the 80s when this song first came out, you have no idea how fun a time it was to have grown up in!
Hahahahahaha!!! You've said it there my friend!!!!! Absolutely no clue what so ever!!!! God knows I miss this kind of music than now😁😔😬😕😳😖😫😩😤
I was 14 when this song came out .. love it the 80's!
I wish I was around then LOL
philaman1972 how true. the songs and the times match. these kids will never understand. this is our music! no negative comments! just enjoy! or go listen to your generation talent. oh I forgot yours didn't have any. rap rap.
"No negative comments!" *gives negative comment right after*
After watching this and The Reflex, you gotta realize how important John Taylor was to all of this. His bass lines carried this band. And this coming from a drummer.
Great comment. There are a few docs that showcase this fact. It's awesome the way he progressed from their DJ/Club days.
Heavily agreed!!!
21stCenturySchizoid-D yes but I disagree. John has great bass lines but the sounds that Nick creates enhances the songs to a higher level. Take this song as an example. I think he is the true difference maker that made good songs great.
This is from John Taylor’s book “In The Pleasure Groove”. JT was actually still playing guitar when Roger Taylor joined - the new drummer’s technique forcing him to adopt a more rhythmic funky style. And then he heard ‘Everybody Dance’ by Chic. The singer at the time ‘Andy Wicket’ just so happened to have a bass lying around... and the rest is history!
The bass part in "Rio" is nuts. It's like if the manic energy of cocaine had a sound. 😂
I am 51 years old and I've been in love with Duran Duran since I was 12... I still listen to them and John Taylor was and is still my favorite...He is still so damn fine. DD is so very underrated still to this day. I think they definitely belong in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame for not only their musical contributions but their influence in pop culture. Really, it was unparalleled even still to this day.
51 here too…
I'm 68 and I'm the same! Makes me so happy!!
Mines Nick
I was trying to get this girl to be my girlfriend but she wasn’t interested but by surprise her older sister was because I was singing this song when her sister rejected me. Then she got mad at her older sister😆
@@maddchem0153 I reckon that's a woman for ya...lol
Just saw these guys in Dallas a few days ago. I'm an 80's metal head but secretly grew up listening to these guys and many others during the second wave of the British invasion. These guys are very talented musicians. They killed it at the AAC.
They did!!!!
Metal head here … going to see DD in a month
Saw them tonight in Sacramento!
Metal head here too.
Had to secretly listen to these guys every now and then, definitely not in front of my metal friends!
Oh and my brother drove Simon in Portland, Oregon a few years back, said he was nice.
☮️💜
The bass player is a god
Finally. I'm surrounded by people who actually have good taste in music! This is HEAVEN!!!
Skull Head that's why i sometimes rather am in a comment section then in my class
Skull Head It's simple. We're turning into our parents..Somehow that's a good thing..lol
Alright I love Duran Duran but who are you to judge other people’s taste in music?
yes! you are not alone appreciating very good music!
Heck yea, Duran Duran rocks. Just as good today if not better in my opinion.
When I was a cynical young boy I used to hate the fact that I loved Duran Duran. They were mainstream pop music. I was a punk rock fiend. As I grew older I only loved them more. I grew away from genres and grew to love good music in general. Duran Duran, regardless of how you've made me feel at times the 80s and 90s would have been nothing without you.
Simon Leon is one of the best front men/lead singers of all-time. Such prescence, such attitude, such a great voice! There I said it.....
LeBon.🙄
@@emmarae4322 Damn, it was probably autocorrect. Give Tom a break. He's really a great guy if you'd just get to know him.
This Mr Leon certainly assassinates the competition
@@johnewell4446 John, why don't you give Emma a break about Tom... You are no spring chicken either
@@storiesreadaloud5635it's LeBon, dude!
Roger is so adorable at the end. He seems uncomfortable to be looking into the camera and turns away, which has always been so endearing to me. Bello.
This went straight in at number one back in 1983, brilliant song
Yep, I was one of those who helped it get there. Still have my vinyl single.
@@SoEightiesItHurts the 80s was best decade for music, so. many great records, talented artists,
They rarely play this live.
@@stones80123 they don't, it should be played more often, there first number one
Not in U.S.A
Duran's only number 1s here were The Reflex & From A View To Kill
Duran duran ruled the 80s
Aaron Pearce thank you watch my RUclips channel it's called king killer 03 top one
I love that you can actually hear the bass line.
Actually, I dunno if I can.
Hard to tell it from guitar, unless you see John playing.
@@resa.walters huh? It’s really easy.
@@resa.walters What? How can you not hear it?
I swear to God the bass player in this band (I don't know his name) is one of the greatest of all time.
That would be John Taylor
i have loved duran duran for 35 years now
The best band in the world
Make it 36.
I still have my DD album from 1981 on vinyl. I still want JT so much. I gotta meet him before he or I go to heaven. Its infatuation I know but 40 years of it? Or a yearning love for a man I've never met but want to. Oh god please let me meet him.
Who else came here because it's a good song?
Liliana Vess me ;-;
Me also
Liliana Vess me
Me too
Shot my load too
Being just 10yrs old in 1983 & watching this video on MTV at the time in Los Angeles. Then switching the TV to play my Atari 2600. It was all too magical!😉😎
This is the first song where I realised that Simon is amazing at harmonies. I tend to love all their songs where I hear Simon harmonising with himself. Genius.
Choirboy training in high school may have helped...he learned classical harmonies then in the UK..
I think so. Although in the documentary, he said that he learned the technique from church in Pinner. They even played a recording of him singing that hymn about the wings of a dove. Bless him. So talented. They all are.
Ahh when MTV was young...and played music.
Agreed!
Still better than 99% of the pop songs on the radio at this very minute. A fucking classic! And hell, even the clothes aren't dated.
I'm 25 years so unfortunately didn't grow up in this generation but I'm recently discovering Duran Duran music. I wonder what it was like in this time. Such great songs! Rio, Hungry Like The Wolf & this 1! There's probably more!
Wow, surreal to hear this. I bought my first DX2 album when I was 12, in 1982. You have loads of great music to explore. Check out the track Secret Oktober, Late Bar, Planet Earth...endless amazing tracks.
Trust me you would've loved it music video's dancing and staying up late on the weekends waiting for you favorite video's to play on T.V.
It was great. Ronald Reagan was president, just alot of Russia scare of nuclear war. You see in some 80s films like Arnold did , no not terminators. James bond films. Others. Gas was cheap for a time. No cell phones. People were connected, not disconnected like now. Cell phones face book doses not help or work. People were pro America not against it. Cus these people are not Americans.
we had sooo much more than they have now too!@@blue6940
I was there when this premiered on MTV...who remembers when vids were like movie premieres?
I remember it vividly.
Man, I was obsessed with this song the whole summer of 1983!
Thomas Patchen, I’m obsessed now.
I've been obsessed with it for nearly 40 years.
Nice!!
I was obsessed with this song and video in 1983 and I am STILL completely obsessed with this song and video in 2022 and I still have the same visceral reaction as I did in 1983. I'll NEVER get tired of hearing this track.
Me too.My mum got fed up of it!!🤣
My favorite Duran Duran song.
But they're *all* good.
no what I meant was one of my favorites not "The favorite"
Zlad! Vevo Ah, yeah it's one of my favorites too.
legoclone09 but damn they have so many great songs!
Zlad! Vevo Yes they do!
Wife here...OMG..SOOOOO EXCITED TO SEE THESE GUYS IN ATLANTA GA 2023!!!
S
john taylor is probably the most underated bassist ever. He is amazing.
Duran Duran the best of the 80s
Please, please take me back to the 80's!
I miss the 80's and Ronald Reagan
What do you miss, actually?
Dkenady353 right on. Reagan was the greatest.
Sorry, my flux capacitor is in the shop
Darryl Willett Please someone INVENT some APLICATION Of a. TIME MACHINE-SO WE CAN GO BACKKKKK
Love that period of the 80s when synths were integrated into bands. That new wave era, Depeche Mode, Gary Newman, Yazoo, Ultravox and Duran Duran will always be a period I look back fondly. Duran Duran were just so damn good at writing and performing. Roger Taylor's bass tracks really do it for me - he has the funk alright.
John Taylor played bass; Roger Taylor was the drummer.
Don't forget MTV....
You mean John Taylor 😊. BTW, Roger Taylor was was hot AF when he would pound those skins (drums) and was smokin’ hot looking doing it too. Definitely the hottest looking of DD
Gary Newman, Depeche More, Yahoo, ultravox
…
…
But John played the bass :(
I’m 50 now and was a punk rock skater listening to 7 Seconds, Black Flag and DK back in the day. I hid my love for Duran Duran❤️😂
Me too man. I was all about suicidal tendencies and repo man with some rush in there... but I secretly loved duran duran too, lol
Nick Rhodes is an orange-haired angel on Earth. Simply gorgeous!
As a duranie since 1983 i agree..he was and still is my favorite
and a blonde haired one, and black haired one!
I was IN LOVE with him!
kimerie tate me tooo
Exactly 👍👍👍👍
Most beautiful men to ever form a band, write their own songs, perform those songs and be brilliant at it. Music critics wanted to portray them as a "boy band" because they just could not stand the fact that they were that talented and also incredibly hot. Sorry haters, they are that good! And if you've never seen them live, I just don't know what to say. Cheers!
I know...don't you let anyone call them a "boy band". Get 'em! (that made me think of that crazy video with the Irish family chasing the bat crying, "get 'em, get 'em, Derry!" LOL).
I wish I had been able to see them in the 80s. :-/
VERY well said Dawn. Summed up brilliantly. Saw them 3 times.
Yasssssssss!
Well, musically, the band Japan wrote and performed better music and did the makeup thing better, having true Bowie influence. Yes, they do deserve "boy band" as a label.
These videos might seem "cringe" to today's teens and college students, but many of the visual techniques in DD video like this (the framing, coloring, montages, wipes, use of shadow/light, non-linear micro-speed editing, split screening, etc.) combined to create something entirely new at the time and were a massive influence on videos to come. Granted, Thriller took videos to even greater prominence, but these guys paved the way. And the music still holds up, video or no video.
It's a huge part of the Duran Duran experience! These videos made us fly to another world! Boy I miss the "new romanticism" of the 80s and I'm a fan of realism!
it's not cringe, most kids can recognize the technical talent that went into this video
They're works of art!
One of the BEST bands of all time!!!
I miss you 80s...when the world didn't suck
The world didn't suck; in this song there's a line 'you're about as easy as a nuclear war', and in the early-80s we were so close to one, just like in the Cuban missile crisis or now. And then there was Thatcher and Reagan who started the pernicious neocon agenda that's gobbling up the world's resources (just so that millionaires and billionaires can get even richer), not to mention AIDS and the crack epidemic. Oh, I'm in a happy mood lol. But it's a great song (and video), straight in at number one when it was practically unheard-of.
I agree the world didnt suck then..it does suck now...yes we had some problems back then but NOTHING like it is today
Xav wasn’t there also the Cold War between the US and USSR?
yes that was good time in life. girls, vodka and good music, what else did we need ?
@@hovnarren The world sucked then too, just not as bad as today!
It's funny, I can't remember a thing my wife just told me but I can remember every word from this song after 30 years!
Darryl Willett. Lol damn Darryl 😃
You just got a big laugh from me Darryl. Good one.
Lol Darryl 😂
lol!!! I'm guessing this song is more important!
Totally get it. Can’t tell you what I did yesterday, but can sing along to these 80’s songs!
I bumped into the guitarist in a city nearby a few years ago. h He was impeccably dressed. I got talking to him about music since I like playing guitar. He said he used to play guitar in a band. I never knew who he was until someone told me after he had left the building.
For me in some shots Simon looks a lot like a young Elvis... Great song, great video, the great fab5 Duran Duran 🙏
My older brother used to make fun of me when I was a kid for being a Duranie. Tried to say they weren't talented and would not last 5 years in the industry. Whose laughing now? These guys are iconic!
Nobody made videos as good as Duran Duran 😍
@@Resgerr...Duran Duran elevated music videos to a Art form !
I'm a Bluesman and I say they ruled the 80's . ( so there!)
Untalented? John Taylor's basslines are some of the most terrific in pop music!
My family use to tease me too. They would say they were a bunch of gay no talent pretty boys who wouldn't last 2 years. Well who's laughing now?!
80's was a decade of great music.
Jeeeeesuuus....we were so young....we were so beautiful....i miss this time
The best new wave band of all time
these 80s videos are like a lost art form . Visually interesting .
Well said
Their videos influenced so many elements: music, fashion, art direction, etc.
their best, most duran durandest song.
ScotSpeed the Duran durandest part
Does not make sense
I get it . It’s super Durandy lol
@@lesneedham1666 no no it actually does lol
"I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them"
Duran Duran were all four of them ridiculously handsome, not to mention talented. But John Taylor was my crush, esp. in HLTW, which kinda goes with the idea of this song.💕
Simon Le Bon's beautiful face! They're all beautiful!
Lets be honest now.. Andy Taylor..uh-uh. Lol
simon was georgous, he's still alright now, just a little chubbyer
Simon was thin in this clip- no pudge at all.
ALL GORGEOUS!!!!
😍❤
No wonder why Princess Diana loved their songs so much.
When it came to Duran Duran, there was nothing music fans should know other than the fact this U.K band rocked the music scene worldwide in the Eighties and early Nineties. Four decades ago this song and video were released. It was never fully appreciated for its intrinsic value.
I love the vocal harmonies in this song, and the way that it makes me feel like it’s the 80s again
People fucking LOVED geometric shapes in the eighties.
+Copacetic It was more pushed by the media than actually liked. Those making videos decided, just as the corporate folks decide what color and style is in this fall of 2015. I believe Duran Duran had little to do with the images in this video. However, the videos for Rio and Hungry like a Wolf were very innovative and I feel even today are awesome.
+WishIcould showmyname Hate to burst your bubble but the videos for "Rio" & "Hungry Like the Wolf" were produced & directed by Russell Mulcahy who also directed this video!
In fact he directed "Planet Earth",My Own Way","Lonely In Your Nightmare","Hungry Like the Wolf","Save A Prayer","Night Boat", "The Reflex & "The Wild Boys".
+Copacetic
Too true. By 1983 I remember even women had rectangles where they used to have curves. Have you seen Dynasty!
Copacetic 😂👍▪️🔹🔺🔸💜
Rubiks cube has a lot to answer for......
Simply the best group of the 80s, music stands up even today.
Happy Birthday Mr Simon LeBon !!
Back during the time when pop bands actually played their instruments.
I was a huge Duran Duran fan in high school but I couldn't tell my friends because we all were into Metalica, Rush and Van Halen! I Love Duran Duran! There, I said it.
You couldn't help it you had better taste in music.
Same bro same
this has to be the most beautiful band EVER!!!
I always thought LeBon looked slightly goofy among the others. A bit of a big baby.
AGREED!! GORGEOUS!!
Billy Quizboy from the Venture bros sent me here. That ball belongs in a museum.
I was looking for this comment
Yo dude, same. It's the only reason that I know about this song
Same
Same!
Ha....awesome ....best show ever
I'm only 22 but I've been listening to Duran Duran off-handedly since I was around 16 up until this year actually. They've now quickly become one of my favorites and I've gotten my mom back into them too since I got some of the CDs. This past August, me and her had gone to see them both for the first time! She was a big fan when she was around 14, but was never able to see them then, so it truly was one of the coolest times of my life ever, it meant alot. (Neat coincidence that it was also the Future Past/40th Anniversary tour too)
First of all. I am a 55 year old man living in the US and I have been a DD fan since 1982. These guys are brilliant. People can say what they want but the video version of this song carries a different mix of the song than what was released on the single or album, I believe this version is the Bob Clearmountain mix. The version released on the 7" single and LP was the mix they decided to go with after deciding Clearmountain's mix was to soft. Both mixes are great but anyone else see the difference?
Which LP had the studio version? Arena had the live version which was way different. I have an EP with this one, don't recall how many versions though.
@@ev9466 i think this song was later added to Duran Duran LP. Very rare version.
I’m a 50 year old woman and these are my idols since 1983
I don't remember there being another mix, this is the original that was released in 1983 and went straight to number 1 in the UK charts I remember it well, I was 14 and a big Duran fan already. This song originally didn't appear on any Album until the first album was released in the USA and then this song was added to it, which to us in the UK would have found very odd because in our minds it really didn't belong there. Still a big fan now and always have been with all their ups & downs.
@@MrPt7 they did some extended mixes
I swear 80s rock is the best decade. Love this song especially love the part where he sings "you're about as easy as a nuclear war". 😄
My favorite line
Best. Line. Ever. In a song.
Love the lyrics "There's a dream that strings the road, with broken glass for us to hold and I cut so far before I had to say"
Total 80's child, listening to Duran Duran always on KROQ 106.7. Yeah!!!
When I was a kid, my dad used to play a vhs tape with mtv videos and this was the first song. Happy brithday in heaven dear dad.
Duran Duran were the 80's... I never saw a group that came close to them in that decade.
Although great, Spandau Ballet, Human League, 3 horse race.
@@johnsimm3497 - I remember thinking Spandau Ballet were wanna-be copy-cats (until I listened). They were great, along with HL and many others.
A-Ha?
@@ametrinemoon - Awesome. A-Ha was great too. Check out their later version of Living Day Lights (semi unplugged).
Spandau ballet?????
I had such a crush on Simon!! Loved being in my 20s in the 80s! Best time every to grow up....great music, movies, fashion & haircuts! ;)
Tucked in tie, I remember, an MTV Classic
my love for duran duran brought me here!!!
Back when bands wrote their music , played their instruments , paid their dues before making it on the scene - fantastically talented trend setting group so proud of them and proud that I was a fan of a band who played real music back then and are still going strong doing the same now. Brilliant!
I gotta admit it, these guys were great!
Me too, teenagers back in the 80 s ❤❤
I've been a loyal fan of theirs for nearly 40 years and I don't see that changing. They were such a huge part of my childhood. A View To A Kill is still the greatest Bond theme song!!!
no, that honor goes to "live and let die" by Paul McCartney.
I love DD, but I can't agree with that one. 'Live and Let Die' is probably the best. Sheena's 'For Your Eyes Only' is my fav.
I love the video to A View to a Kill. Absolutely legendary.
First song I heard by them at 14. Blew me away. I got contact lenses and dippity do hair gel. I was suddenly the coolest kid in school. lol
bakedbeans2012 j
is that reference due to a Le Bon interview where he mixed up i believe 'owner of a lonley heart' with 'mexican radio?"
show us :) l0l
My girlfriend managed to collectedly point me out in my blurry Grade 4 class photo. She said she was just looking for the guy with the most Duran Duran haircut. haha
Dippity do?! How 'bout Brill Cream, a little dab 'L do ya' (before your time)
There’s a dream that strings the road,with broken glass for us to hold and i cut so far before I had to say!!!!!
I discovered this song watching the vH1 behind the music episode in HS (late 90's early 2000's) . So, I added it to download in college and put it on a mix CD in the fall of 2001. It was on my computer playlist and a mix CD I loved to listen to while doing cardio. At the time (freshman year of college) there was a guy I met my first semester of freshman year who I wasn't sure if he was in to me or not (he gave me mixed signals the whole semester) this song always made me think of him. Lol, at the end of the semester he asked me out on what I THOUGHT was a date to a fast food restaurant and didn't pay for my food, so I finally got my answer😂.
I think of that back and forth every time I hear this song. The burned CD from college with this song was one of my favorites and now it's on my Spotify playlist. Long story but this song will forever make me think of my freshman year of college first semester, wandering if someone liked me or not. After months of mixed signals I'm pretty sure they didn't 😂
This The real music not nowadays music ❤
Duran Duran were never a "boy band"! They are "bona fide " musicians who write their own songs since Day one! Please correct yourself!
Not only as you stated, but most people don't realize how well they arrange/structure/layer/blend, harmonize/voice, and much, much more within the confines of pop music. And NOT every song is some brainless love song. When I first heard them in 1982, I couldn't stand their image - but I couldn't deny their ability to write superior pop songs with uber-catchy hooks with a structure that needed many listens to fully appreciate. I tried to not like them for many years - until 1985 when I heard more of Rio . . . I've been hooked since. Peace. >=->
@@damiantorn5799 - The musical arrangements were perfect with LeBon's surreal lyrics too.
They're sorta both, but thats O.K. cuz they put out quality compositions throughout the 80's.
Bob Malack Not really... and that’s because they’re made albums and records before they were considered a Boy Band. They became popular because of their great songs and musicianship. They were not produced as a Boy Band that would appeal to screaming girls... the girls came after.
Damian Tom,
This and several other Duran hits were based on poems written by Simon LeBon at ages 15 to 17.
Probably their best song to capture the feel and energy of the early 80's. This song is all vibes and emotion.
Lots of great memories ❤
When I was very young, maybe 7 or 8 years old, I always viewed Simon as a sort of a male role model for me because I viewed him as someone that I could look up to and admire. Actually, I used to look at Simon and think to myself "I want to do that! I want to be a great rock musician and travel the world just like he does!"! I was, and still am, really quite in awe of him because my dad wasn't an especially great role model and anybody that I wanted to model my life after.
My mom at first didn't really understand the attraction but she now knows that her daughter is a Duranie and will stay Simon Le Bon's #1 fan and ardent admirer.
In my opinion this is Duran Duran's definitive song. It just feels like the song that best represents them in the 1980's. O.k., and maybe The Reflex as well
eribalsch yes . Clever video, great song and great fashion. It’s all there
They’re more known for Hungry Like The Wolf
Nah...Rio...RIO is their definitive song....no doubt
And 'New moon on Monday'.
Yeah and it also contains a bit of Swing (Japan, v=flHWJoDt3Yo ) so consider it a bonus :D
Born in 72' and witness too the best decade ever!
This song invokes so many memories. Riding about on my Raleigh Bmx, McDonald's was a rare treat, risk of nuclear war , Thatcher, Reagan, breakfast tv still in its infancy, roads were empty, top of the pops had anything from Duran Duran to shakin Stevens.
The year was 1983, I was 17 yrs old and this video was playing on my tv when I got home from my summer job. I've been in love ever since.🎶❤️🎶
One of the best 80's there is. Period.
I close my eyes and im transported back to the wonderful carefree days of my youth . 1980s music will always hold a special place in my heart !
I’m sorry but this just may be the best song of the fucking 80s…
Their Videos weren’t Videos…The Are Art…❤️❤️❤️
Guys in their early 20s seemed so grown back then.
They were. It was a glorious time 🙂
Imagine being an adult at the age of 20
@@oaf-77 Impossible these days...
Because we had talent and world experience at a young age..Robert at 66.
Yes....as soon as we hit 18 we were ready to go and start our lives....
just watched this again,im 54 now,still feel the same as when i was 13 ,when i fell in love with dd
"Don't say you're easy on me - you're about as easy as a nuclear war!" Cracking me up since 1980something
I am child of the ops and I remember listening on the radio before going to school.it's not the same anymore.Music was awesome in those days.
"Please, Please Tell Me Now..Why We Don't Have Music & Videos Like This These Days??"
Kate Deluxe Because of stupid reality television singing contests of contestants that cannot sing and end up in the charts anyway but auto tuned due to their lack of talent. People are only chosen for their looks today and not whether they can sing.
Hard to wrap my head around the fact that I was 19 when this song was released and now I'm 61😢
Same here.
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE SONG OF THEIRS 🎉❤
*Há alguém aqui escutando essa música maravilhosa em 2023?* 👏👏👏😸❤😽
