Lyrics:
You've gone too far this time
And I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around
With my chances on the danger line
I'll cross that bridge when I find it
Another day
To make my stand, oh oh
High time is no time for deciding
If I should find a helping hand, oh oh
Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't lose it
Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't lose it
The reflex is a lonely child
Who's waiting by the park
The reflex is a door to finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark
I'm on a ride and I want to get off
But they won't slow down the round-about
I sold the radio and TV set
Don't want to be around when this gets out
So why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't lose it
Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't lose it
The reflex is a lonely child
Who's waiting in the park
The reflex is a door to finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark
So why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't loose it
Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't lose it
The reflex is a lonely child
Who's waiting by the park
The reflex is a door to finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark
Oh the reflex what a game
He's hiding all the cards
The reflex is in charge of finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does

The mad dancer at around 1 min 30 secs - that's me!
woah!
Awesome!!👏👏
OMG Man! Awesome! Fantastic ❤❤❤👏👏👏
Thats Great, man...CooL, nice, weLL Done !!!
Salute! You are the King of "The White Boy Dance"! Really, it's commonly called that in the Black community and I remember your dancing being one of my favorite parts of the video.
I'm proud to have grown up in this era.
Totally agree, I was a teenager in the 80s. Miss that era so much..
Yes but I take 38 years more 😱😭🇫🇷
I was a little kid back then. It was the best time!!
I feel so sorry and sad for the generations that missed living through this era. It was a complete blast💣💥
You don't have to feel sorry, that's the beauty of internet and youtube. We can enjoy the music and culture of your time. I'm 29 and I'm always rocking 80s hits because my parents would blast this all the time!
@@G4nj4NL That's a great point but living during those times was so much different than it is now. You'll be saying the same to your kids when your older
@@Qweecie True
@@G4nj4NLseeds by no c
80s revival is happening now, it's all over
The world will never understand, this era of genius... Unless you were there.❤
Exactly, so much talent around then.
Amen
@@kevspencer5744yes but took 35-40 years 😱😭
Music that gave us chills...any station it was banging ALL day. What a time!
I understand perfectly as I was a teenager in that era... life was so good...
Can you believe this was 40 years ago ? Crazy
Amen to that....crazy this is a classic hit now😂
No but it was no 1 of course then so too.
Time goes on !
😳🥹
Time just flies 😉
This is my favorite Duran Duran song.
Wild Boys.....
me too👍
Mine too ❤
Yes my favorite video
This and Is there something I should know tie for me
I was a teenager back in the 80’s, BEST ERA ever. My favorite group. Best music. I am 53 years and still loving every song of this group.
Agreed! I'm 53 too
i remember the first time seeing this video at my friends house at 14 y/o.. on MTV.. oh how time flies
In my 40's....so 80's kid through and through. Best decade of my life(90's were awesome too). 2000's are....yeahhhhh....you already know. Where's my time machine? Someone please help.
46 and I couldn't agree more! Need to go back even if it's all replay!
All of this ❤!
I was in the crowd!!! Toronto, 1984... I was 13 yrs old...my first concert!!!
Awesome!! I bet there was so much great energy!!
@@theoldschooldiva374 It was absolutely surreal! Imagine the screams when they announced that they were shooting the video that night!!!
@@roslynmarie9624 OMG Roslyn, you helped me to morph back in time 🙌🏿🙌🏿, YES GIRL 😌🎶
Was the song being played exactly like in this video or it was a playback? The song seems too identical to the original one. It doesn't even seem to be a record of a true live.
@@robertogrande5063 I honestly don't remember! I do remember the incredible energy that night though!!!
Best thing about this era... No cell phones
Yeah and if you didn’t have technology now you’d not be listening to it
and simon le bon
100%
It was better 👍🏻⚘️🇫🇷
British Singers are one of the best singers in the world .
I was ten years old in 1985...Fabulous days 😢😅🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂❤❤❤❤
And me 22 - now 61😭🇫🇷
No decade will ever top the 80's!!!
Yes! It was the best time to be a teenager in my opinion. No cell phones. No internet. No social media. You had to actually make friends and spend time with them if you wanted to keep them. No way would I trade places with the teens today. They can keep their nonsense as far as I'm concerned.
Amen
@@jm7804 well, all decades before the 00's did not have cell phones, or internet, or social media, not just the 80s
That's so true!!!
Here here 100% agreed
Duran Duran ruled 1984. This song, among others by them, dominated the radio and video market.
Totally agree!
Between these, level 42 and Tears for fears definitely. I love them. Im 38 and dont like all the new crap out these days 💜💜
I have this taped from the radio when it was number one and it goes "Number ONE". I am like a ghost of myself from those days.
@@imogenjennings3992 I lived through the 1980s as I was born in September 1966 and it was really great time for music. At least up until early 1988. Because in 1988 the boy band era started with groups like Bros and New kids on the block and rap, hip hop and rave/acid house dominated the charts. But between 1980 and the end of 1987 the music really rocked!
"Purple Rain" by Prince and the Revolution spent 24 consecutive weeks at Number One. "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" spent TWO weeks at Number One, in America according to Billboard 100 in 1984. "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" went double platinum while "Purple Rain" sold more than 17 million. WHAM's "Make It Big" sold six times platinum, also released in 1984. I don't think Duran Duran dominated 1984 by a long shot. A great year nonetheless.
Happy 40 years 1984-2024, The Reflex- Duran Duran 👏👏👏👏🎂🎂, from CHILE.
Miss the days when we didn't have the internet. You had to squirm in anticipation of buying a concert ticket, and enjoying the concert without hooligans shooting it up.
The internet has ruined certain sacred things IMO, but is good at certain others - so a love / hate relationship.
Duran Duran for life!❤️❤️😘😘😘
To the fans of DURAN DURAN, have a good weekend!
You Too 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
U 2
Thanks!!!!
Feeling a teenager again hearing this song!!!!!!!
Thanks you too
Musically speaking this is considered a masterpiece.
Ahhh... the 1980's!!
A great era to be alive!
Duran Duran was one of the giants who defined this incredible decade!
Their look and videos actually created part of the 80's image. Early Eighties new romantic scene to be exact.
@@mikepastor.k6233 Nothing Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music or David Bowie were doing better in the 70s. 🎬
54 años,en el 2024 y sigo sintiendo que fueron los mejores y lo seran por siempre! Sin olvidarme el amor platónico que senti y siento de por vida por John Taylor❤
I am 53 years old and I am still loving this...glad my formative years were the 80's...
The 80s was great wasn't it Rick.. I'm 56 I know how you feel
It's worth being old now to have been young then.
I'm 52 and I agree with ya man! Love the 80's! I had this album back then.
I'm 54 and saw Duran in concert 5 times
Lucky guys. I’m 37 and remember all the good 80s tunes coz my mum listened to them all but what I would’ve gave to be born 15/20 years earlier ha
Simon looks so adorable when he's dancing around. He looks like he's having fun.
They all had fun...and so did I as a teenager (I'm 54 years old now)..bring back the 80's
Yess
He's so hot here
Saw them in Sept 2023 second row! John shook my sisters hand. A dream come true for a fan for 40 years!
人気もランキングも頂点を極めた、まさに彼らを代表する曲の一つ。また、このMVがイイ!!
I will always be an '80s kid at heart.
I'm with you
Me too!!! Now where the hell did I put that Van Halen 1984 tape…
@DJ RUclipsr TMJ I did, my man…I wore the fucker out 🤣🤣😂 Love you King Edward!
Me too
Me too. I'm happy I'm not alone
This Song Went To Number 1 On The Billboard Hot-100 Chart In 1984.

I was at this concert, this was filmed in Toronto in 1984😊
I believe you but we need evidence
I’m in my early twenties and I grew up with the eighties and Duran Duran I’m so blessed to have this music in my life. Now I’m a Dj well I started at twelve. ❤
This video is the most 80's thing ever.
👍,oh yes, soooo good 🤝👏👏👏👋🙂🇧🇪

@@christinecolgate7884 What has Duran Duran got to do with that?
Please don’t push psychovid fear porn or your OCD habits on to others. Especially on a thread that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with that psyop. I came here to get away from that sh!t.
I suggest you take Simon Le Bons advice and sell your TV set.
One of my impressions after giving this song a good listen is that John Taylor is a serially underrated bass player...he could throw down some serious bass lines.
I know and play with bass players who revere him. Truth!
So true. Duran Duran had a little funk in 'em. One of the reasons I like them so much. Pop music, but with a little Chic-like bass putting some hair on it.
The 80s: _Lived 'em. Loved 'em. Miss 'em._
Hell yea, power to the bass!
He was a big fan of Bernard Edwards. And it shows. The bass from Rio is INSANE.
He could?.....he still can💜
Duran Duran has always had a great bass line and this song is no exception. It’s hook after hook.
John Taylor
Awesome bass player
Check out his vids on RUclips.
Fr😂Like in Rio and Lonely in Your Nightmare💘Das da stuff😂
E grazie hanno uno dei più grandi bassisti al mondo ....ricordiamolo sempre
@@kellyegan9824 JT 100% bass grooves are amazing. And it was Niles Rogers that reworked this song, so awesome. Just saw Duran Duran tonight! And Niles Rogers & Chic opened for them! Fantastic concert.
Great song to listen to like back in the day candy to my ears
When John Taylor throws his head back at 1:52.... be still my heart. Almost 40 years later, that little move still kills me.
I know and his smile at 2:18. Dear lord.🥰🥰🥰
💖Oh Woah!
I thought at 1:4 was the best when he turned his head...I've live on that moment out of all their videos since lol
Simon's killer move at 2:44
👍👍😂
I love the way Simon LeBon dances 🕺
suddendee Simon Lebon dances cool yes i agree.
Yes simon had some grooves in this video!.. dancing around the red screen there. He jumps off the stage at 1:21 .. it was insane!. talented guy.
Nobody is better than Duran Duran.
So many bands are
Im 64 yrs old and still listen to them.. 2024
Yes
Duran Duran is forever, not just for Christmas… or is that dogs? Anyway, Duran Duran always.
A privilege to grow during the 80s, Great music!!
I was born in 1980 and feel I timed my youth absolutely perfectly :-)
Un muy buen recuerdo epoca marabillosa
Benigno Cruz mery cry

Yeah, except that we're old now lol
Why is it that once you start listening to these fire 80's hits, you end up binging on all 80's music for hours on RUclips? Nothing and I mean straight up nothing will ever dominate the music, culture and fads of the 80's! So blessed to have lived and experienced the enlightening 80's. This 54 year old will always be an 80's child!
I am doing that right now! ❤
I ask myself this question everyday
Hi I recommend a song that's called 'The bond Villain' By Robert Nix
Why? Because the 80s were awesome
duran duran forever❣️❣️ i love you guys..simon,john,nick,andy and roger😃
That animated wave was just groundbreaking back in the day.
Not really though.
Absolutely addicted to Duran Duran in the 80's. This is still my fav.
maestro h mine too✌🏼
👍
Planet earth
I am also a big fan
I guess every generation thinks their music is best. But sorry, there's NO comparison to the music of the 80's!
John and Andy Taylor Don't get enough credit for being some Serious Hit Makers for Duran Duran and others in the 80's.
My sister had posters of John Taylor ,and the singer out of a,ha, up on her wall back then,lol.

Rappers come first apparently.
@@jatkins47 which is totally wrong, rap music is pathetic, rap music has no heart, no fire, no energy . The 80s was the golden age of pop music which died a long time ago
I totally agree!
@@jatkins47 what does that even mean.. what do rappers have to do with this. They’re a totally different style. ??
One of the greatest bands to come out of the 80's.
Great band.....but this song sucks
rebjiii why you listening to it then
@@massivelegend5792 I don't listen to Duran Duran weak songs ....which were plentiful on every album that followed RIO.......the Reflex was a horrible songs and so was UNION OF THE SNAKE....u need to re-evaluate your taste in music if u think those were 2 of DD's best songs
You know it, man!
@@rebjiii its literally just a song get a grip and stop taking it so seriously lmao
今の時代でもとてもカッコいいサウンドで何度でも聞きたくなる曲です
本当カッコいい！
The energy of this concert is palpable
Still great in 2019.
@Bryan Wong autovideo's Indeed it does; A song like this never gets old, am I right?
3rd time listening to this right now!
HECK YEH!
Why wouldn’t it be?
Was at that concert when they made this video. Best concert ever!!! Love Duran Duran! This group defined the 80s! Was totally in love with John Taylor!! ❤😊
I knew you looked familar.😄 I remember simon le bon saying that he was going to make us stars because they were shooting this video.
@@lokilewis 😂 Yes I remember him saying that too, and everything about that concert! 😊
Wow, you are a part of music history forever!!
Me too with my best friend. Does anyone remember it was the cameramans birthday and we sang him Happy Birthday x
@@k.mcgovern was this filmed in Oakland?
They were so far ahead of their time. Definitely underrated as far as talent goes.
Underrated? You didn't grow up in the 80s did you?😂🙂🙂
Imagine calling them underrated. So embarrassing. The Beatles and Stones are underrated too.
@@eriklarson9137 Hey guys. Have you heard of the new band called Duran Duran?
Hi I recommend a song that's called 'The bond Villain' By Robert Nix
Best song of the 80’s. Period
When I was a teenager, I was very depressed. It was the first time I listened to this music. Duran Duran saved my life from depression. Thanks guys.
Duran Duran caused me depression. I saw the end of serious rock with these Brit fake asses. Hungry like the wolf made me throw up. I knew the end was at the door
I agree with you! I'm living this feelings! Salutations 🖖 ici à Bogotá
HELLLL YEEEEAAAAA !
I LOVE DURAN DURAN 💕
😆
1984 I was 14 years old, I enjoyed my adolescence to the fullest and Duran Duran was a fundamental part of this. ,,,,, THE. REFLEX !!! greetings from Mexico City
Yes, I was a teenager when I enjoyed Duran Duran and A-Ha. So much memories! from Seoul, Korea.
Greetings from the USA, I was 8 and came to the USA when I was 18, and absolutely loved my childhood in Mexico. When rich people ruled in Mexico and not the narco!
In April of 1981 I became a teen. So my teen years was the 80's.
Same here! I was 14 in 1984! Duran Duran were everywhere! 😊
I was 12 and I love this msuic
I miss the 80s!!!....love Duran Duran!!😍😘
I grew up on the northside of Chicago in the 80's and this was played by all races! Good music knows no color or boundaries! Still sounds great!
same here, 86 grad. nw suburbs.
This was the best era and MTV I'm so happy I grew up in this time.
You mean when MTV actually played music
You ain't neva lie....
Man Duran Duran was the greatest 80's bands EVER!!!!!!!! I know I've said it before but I can't help myself. DD gave us some of the best and most unforgettable songs of our lives.

40 years ago the 'Seven and the ragged tiger 'tour ended on April 15th and 'The reflex' was set to be a BIG hit in the USA! Like HUGE! - This song was so heavily requested on radio stations in the US at this time and throughout the summer of 1984.
Duran Duran was my youth
I'm 50 and I'm still listening
I'm 48 years old and I still love this song.The 80s were the best years ever!!
ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!!!!
We were happy in the 80's ... and we knew it!
Not as may suicides back then as they appear to be now. Very sad how life is getting worse year by year.
Yes your so right. The 1980’s were truly the best of times. Life seemed so much easier and beautiful then.
We didn't even think about it, we were free agents now we are not
An absolute favorite video of the 80s
Duran Duran was my first concert! I was 15 and in love with Simon and Nick! Those were the days!
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost?
Bass line and the chicks performing their backing vocals. Wow is the word!
In the future when anyone asks you 'what were the Eighties all about?" all you need to do is show them this video. Classic song with classic Eighties visuals. This is truly a Watershed Moment.
Amen to that brother
I cannot believe this song is 40 years old!!! Where did time go? God I'm feeling old now. One of my fav bands as a teenager.
I love you J.T 🔥❤ You rock the Bass!! 😍🎸🤘😇

Forever jealous of people who were alive in the 80's.
Same honestly
It was a fun and easier time to live in .
Same
It was a better time.
it was the best time the best music
If I could relive one year in my life it would be 1984. Such a magical time with the best year of music ever. Classic after classic was born that year.
Interesting...George Orwell had bad premonitions about 1984. Police state and all. Turned out the opposite. And, Berlin wall fell amd communist Russia dissolved in 89. The police state came later, in the mid 90s but especially after 9-11.
DUDEEEE! 1984 was TOTALLY my year. So many firsts: first full year away from him, first gf I was truly
mad for, first car, first real job (USCG). And saw a bunch of concerts (but not DD). It was pretty fricking epic. It’s funny, I’m a metal and hard rock guy but I totally dig DD too. Go figure.
中学２年の頃、洋楽にハマるキッカケを作った曲です。

Miss the 80’s. Things were so much simpler.
I hear ya
Not really, with the Iran Contra and the MacNeil Lehrer always on in my mom's house, but I had my po-go stick. So it was fine. ; )
Not me English lol
For Sure😊
I definitely agree with you,life is so hard and heartbreaking these days.
What I would give to go back to that year!
Happiest days of my life 😁
100% with you! And take my son with me!! I don’t know how that would work out but He’s getting such a shitty teenage experience
The Reflex Is a beautiful song has the rhythm of the 80s, it transmits all the joy that was lived at that time, it's something great! 😍
Back again in 2024!
I miss the luxury of concerts! People were so happy and together and it was so much fun. I hope we can have this again!!
Love love this song!!!!
The people of the world are to busy taking drugs, or fighting to come together anymore.
Don't let the tyrants stop you with their "get rid of Trump" bioweapon
these guys exploded onto the scene in the early 80s. yea, they came across as a pretty boy mtv group, but i credit them big time for very talented!! they have survived! I love Ordinary World and obviously, still going strong today!
Unforgettable years with our lovely band!!! Still listening 💕💕
I was always so extremely happy when they played this song on television. It still gives me such a happy feeling to see it.
Me too! I remember watching MTV for hours, just hoping it would come on...
Me too! I used to have a poster of Duran Duran
Guys I was really obsessed with Duran Duran in 80's
They've Super Hero to me
Mid 80s - the best years ever!
I played this right now because it makes me feel good. How could it not??
80's music and style was the best decade ever!! Crisp, clean music that was upbeat and energizing. I wish I can go back to the 80's again! LOL
when u get my delorean are you in? hee hee
Me too so I could sell drugs
My Reflex is to crank the volume up !!
HAPPY 40th Anniversary❤ The Reflex was released on April 21, 1984
I was a teenager when this came and so in love with this group. No cell phones, internet, or social media. Just music, concerts, and music videos. Awesome period to grow up in let alone be a teenager in❤
Just heard this on Better Call Saul and had to scratch that itch.
See now that’s music man I miss the 80s.
Remember watching this on MTV
Long time Duranie❤❤
Listen to that crowd holy carp! Band has HUGE energy...even this metal head couldnt help but listen to it back then.
Ability...10+
