Just my favourite Duran Duran track ever and of all time. I could listen to it on a loop and never tire of hearing it. It's beautifully written and performed.
So, so jealous of you! I've only seen them live a handful of times myself. Hopefully there will be many more opportunities when things go back to normal...
the layering of the instruments and vocals are what makes this band top of the game. I also love how they were unafraid to play with sounds most bands weren't at the time.. seriously the ocarina.. wow. Major talent. Happy 30th Reflex.
Such a powerful piece of song writing.....so haunting it's etherial, transports you some place in the past, to the future far out into the cosmos.....Damn
Oh Gosh, they were sooo young (& so was I)!! Now I can see again why I was sooo in love with Simon, did you see his GORGEOUS face??? And hear his gorgeous voice? Of course I love the other members too! Their music, their style, their videos... Thank you Duran Duran, and thanks to 7thstranger for sharing this beauty with us :-)
All the people here fascinated by this video performance from 1988 are so praiseworthy how to reach such an authentic strangeness... DURAN DURAN remain legendary musicians including Simon Le Bon who is beautiful and so talented.
greatest 80's song of all time. my first concert was duran duran. they sang all the hits except this one. it was an amazing show. would have been greatest show ever if he would have played the chauffeur
The great Duran Duran no limit to their talent the gorgeous Simon 30+ in the business wow why aren't they in themusic hall of fame there's lot less talented groups in there.
WOW!!! They remade their own song. Wouldn't think that such an electro song would work with horns, for example. But the jazzy, noir-ish intro suits the song's mysterious ambience perfectly. Kudos
I've come up with a totaly different story after listening to it closely. The story is about a weathy woman, her daughter and their Chauffeur. It starts off as the daughter prefers to sit in the front seat with the chauffeur instead of the back seat with her domineering mother. He notices how lady-like and charming as she sits besides him. As he drives the two to their destination he starts to daydream of the perfect moment with her. He looks up at the rear view mirror and sees her envied mother holding her fast in her gaze. When they finally arrive at the destination the chauffeur opens the door and notices the daughter smiling at him as would lovers. The mother yanks her daughter away and looks at chauffeur with mean and cruel eyes. As the Chauffeur stands there watching them walk into the distance, leaving him further behind. :) That's the actual story. :)

Not just my favorite Duran Duran song of all time, but my favorite song of all time. DD4ever
Me too!
Despite the presence of their other masterpieces I also think so
My fav too when I was 15 but this version is just is lame, let us admit.
This version is just so beautiful... Mesmerising ❤️❤️❤️
This song is so hypnotic. This version is really awesome.
Jaime Ellen-Grace is true!!i agree with you
Magnífica versión!
yes truly awesome
Simon's voice is so amazing. I remember seeing them in concert at the ripe age of 11 in the 80's. They are still simply the best
Qui siamo su un altro pianeta!
Nick is so freaking awesome on the keyboard, some of his best work, he has been my favorite in the group 😍😍
Yes, baby. That's live! Seen them over 40 times! His voice is one of the greatest!
So, so jealous of you! I've only seen them live a handful of times myself. Hopefully there will be many more opportunities when things go back to normal...
Nick Rhodes is the most underrated programmer.
L'assolo con l'ocarina è una delle cose migliori degli anni '80

I still can't get over the spiritual feeling that comes over me EVERY time I hear this song!
The best song they ever did - relatively unknown when compared with their massive hits though - superb!!!
Lovely song. Slept many, many times with it. It was my Lullaby.
What a unique and beautiful version of The Chauffeur. I LOVE it.
Duran Duran is forever and this clip version is divine...
Very good video...
Fucking amazing. This song drips sensuality. I had no idea Simon played the ocarina so well!
Oh my...so sensual, suave & hauntingly beautiful as it not only pertains to the song but also to their magnetism.... oh yes!!
I love this versions, its perfection 🎶🎵
Such a powerful piece of song writing.....so haunting it's etherial, transports you some place in the past, to the future far out into the cosmos.....Damn

OMG... *goosebumps*
Also, can we rub this in the faces of the misguided people who dismiss DD as a "pretty boys band"? :D
Yes we can! 👍😎
Simon's voice is magical...
It's the best song that I can continued to hear until I die.
Holy crap!! I still get goosebumps after all these years!
One of the best songs world wide.
The best piece of music ever written and this version is so deep !
IT's a beautiful performance...from my piint of view is the best duran's song
It isn't the best piece of music ever written, that is silly
All the people here fascinated by this video performance from 1988 are so praiseworthy how to reach such an authentic strangeness... DURAN DURAN remain legendary musicians including Simon Le Bon who is beautiful and so talented.
Песня нашей прекрасной юности! Северодвинск 1990
within top 10 bands all time
in my book
yes?
I love this song I never knew that Simon played an instrument
Oh yeah! Not only can he play the ocarina, but he can also play the guitar. He's very talented!!
Excellent version....of a great great track
Wow, I had no idea Simon Le Bon played that flute part on an ocarina.
Jonathan Berman ikr
Not only is he talented, he is also gorgeous 🥰!
@@meganarmstrong3950 Seriously!
Never ending beautiful song.....!!!
Dear Duran Duran.
I love you so much.
If I had been of age, and backstage at that show, my last name might be Le Bon right now! Oh my God, that man
This shows because they were, are and will be the best forever.
Senza tempo...sempre bella ed affascinante ! Everytime is better then before time...
Per sempre meraviglia !!!!
Que genios eran estos tipos!!!
Herederos de la Gran banda Japan.
Ellos tomaron su sonido,lo aggiornaron y conquistaron el Mundo.
Duran Duran...AVE!!!!
greatest 80's song of all time. my first concert was duran duran. they sang all the hits except this one. it was an amazing show. would have been greatest show ever if he would have played the chauffeur
Chills down my spine.. I was born in 1988, and I love the remix Deftones did, which is how I ended up finding this vid.
Amazing performance of an amazing song! Keeps sending me shivers down my spine....
Excellent live cut
I had such a huge crush on Simon when I was a teenager🥰
Me too. A big crush
GOD this is beautiful!
Duran Duran, que banda mais maravilhosa que voz o Simon tem ❤❤❤
Spot On! watching Le Bon´s long fingers playing that whistle...it`s made me all hot!!
Magica versione Stupenda
Duran Duran? Essa banda é eterna!
Awesome concert. It feels like the West of the 80's. This and Drive By are the band's best tracks.
Epic!!!! My fav Duran track. Mesmerizing..............................
I saw Duran Duran in concert one of the best I have ever seen!
I Love Simon Le Bon since I was 12yrs old

Saw them at Wembley on this tour. The drummer, Steve Ferrone was just brilliant! Great on this performance too!
The great Duran Duran no limit to their talent the gorgeous Simon 30+ in the business wow why aren't they in themusic hall of fame there's lot less talented groups in there.
grandissima voce tecnicamente molto dotato,poco valutato negli anni....questa canzone è meravigliosa ricca di contaminazioni...
My number 1 band!!! Hope I'll see ya'll again in 2021!!! Duran Duran rules!!!
truly magnificent
WOW!!! They remade their own song. Wouldn't think that such an electro song would work with horns, for example. But the jazzy, noir-ish intro suits the song's mysterious ambience perfectly. Kudos
Everytime It's beautiful
L'intro jazz che sfuma nel tema della tastiera è cosa buona.
Something about that man in a hat...GOD.
What a tune, loved it in '84/85 and still love it now!!
hands down their best song
Epic!!!!
De la vrai pop musique, chanson unique, groupe unique ,merci les années 80 pour un tel bijou........... Merci DURAN DURAN
I saw that tour. Erasure opened up. Tempe, AZ '87.
Love this song so much,1 of my top 3 💕

The Chaffeur is a great song on second album. It's cool also Arena live version!
i l♥ve this! Duran Duran are the best!
Thanks for posting!
Best version of "The chaffeur" everm and one of the best songs ever too.
Caramba além da voz charme e carisma do Simon ele ainda tem mãos lindas ❤️
Amoo, me transmite una alegría esta canción
tears of joy. that good.
Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving
All looking for a new place to drive
You sit beside me so newly charming
Sweating dewdrops glisten freshing your side
[Chorus]
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress, all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
Way down the lane away, living for another day
The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze
Swim seagull in the sky towards that hollow western isle
My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Sing Blue Silver
And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling
What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind
To tear out from your eyes, with a thought to stiffen brooding lies
And I'll only watch you leave me further behind
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Sing Blue Silver
Sing, sing, Blue Silver
(There's more to this kind of camouflage... more than just color and shape)
(What's crawling now... in the long grass near my tent?)
