You know this song is about what Margaret Thacher has done to British people with her politics. It is a tad weird to listen a cover from DD. Back at the day many thought DD were representing whatever Thacher was (because of their videos and their lux way of life etc etc). How times change!
@@motr1912 Thacher's era was so polarizing. I remember reading DD album reviews that they were basically hateful for political reasons and had nothing to do with their music. And it cost the band the recognition they deserved. Thankfully with time this has changed.
Love Duran Duran covering The Specials’ “Ghost Town”. DD concerts always rock!
I've never seen Duran Duran play this song before 80s classic.
Those guys could have a permanent show in Vegas or Broadway and you’d never get bored, top class performers
Bullshit
A brilliant song done my a brilliant band 😎🕷️🦹🧛♂️🦇🧟♂️xxxxxx
I like their costumes. JT looks a little like Nad Sylvan with longer hair!
Awesome!!! 🎶💕
Curiosa versión, pero igual los amo
They rarely do ska/Reggae type aongs..though they are fully capable of it.
By the way this is pure ska ,two-tone i love The Specials and this sounds disgusting

Yes, lots of bands were thought to be everything that Thatcher represented thanks to image. Many couldn't see beyond the image.

Las Vegas?I wonder how many people here know whose song this is, when was it written? But I'm used to DD fans not knowing anything about music
Fun Boy Three song. I remember watching this video back in the 80s.
Ahhhh... you mean the Specials 🙂
Terry Hall's side group...but this is def Special's.
Sacrilege to The Specials.
Agreed. I loved the Specials and I love Duran Duran but they do not work well together. Almost as bad as DD covering 911.
Sped up a bit too fast but good cover...not great.
Listen to it on Danse Macabre...studio version might be better.
