My son is 16 years old and I took the responsability to also teach him about good music. When I introduced him to Duran Duran he got captured by this song. This is his Duran Duran's favorite song!
I love the way Simon sings in the beginning. His voice sounds like Prince's voice. This song is simply one of their best (among another brilliant songs).
I have a friend that's in a community band that features many instruments and singers. They mostly do big band, r&b, etc. standards, but think this would be perfect!
@@gjd9527 I believe your right, and that's a wonderful fact. Hope your new year was good. Bless you, and God bless America, my home., I have been listening to Duran Duran since 1985. I mainly listen to Rock and Blues. I sing Rock as well, check my page out, it's mostly cover songs though of my favorite bands and Artists.🇱🇷
John Taylor was gorgeous all right. He, along with 3 men of the 1950's. One a singing artist-- ELVIS. The other two -- Jeffrey Hunter & John Derek, two incredibly BEAUTIFUL men. For me, Jeffrey tops EVERY man to ever walk on earth. ❤❤😍😍
Without question the cleanest , most perfect mix I've EVER heard, of any song. Everything just pops out and punches you in the earholes. Simply amazing.
A friend in the 00s once asked me where late 70s funk went in the 80s. I replied: Prince and Duran Duran. He laughed about Duran Duran until I played him some. Duran Duran was the funkiest band of the 80s. The 80s: _Lived 'em. Loved 'em. Miss 'em._
This song remember me when I was a child in 1987. Great times. Only school, homeworks and video games ... Hot summers, sea and phishing. I miss that thing because now everything is a skin trade
Duran Duran hit so big and hard back in the early 80s that you couldn't go anyplace without hearing something about them.. I liked them a lot but we were so oversaturated with them within a couple of years that I think people needed a break, I know I did.. I think that's why really good songs like this went largely ignored by so many.. This was underlined by the fact that there were so many other awesome artists and bands out during that time.. The 80s, as even young people are appreciating now, was a stellar time for future classic music and movies
Agreed, I could take or leave them in the early 80s but then they started coming out with brilliant stuff like this, and then later Ordinary World and Come Undone. They're a class act.
No need for someone to explain to me ... how great this slick sounding song is. Once more Duran Duran showed they were one of the key bands in the 1980s.
Duran changed and matured with this song . Took it to another level. I know this isn't what a lot expected but it was definitely the right direction to move into
True about Nile Rodgers, black Americans have helped British rock n pop no end. The Stone heavily borrowed n stole from the blues and the mighty Queen influenced by Jimi Hendrix, (alot of bands were I know).
@@philiphalpenny9761 as all duran duran songs are. There are the odd exception, with additional song writing, but few and far between. Indeed, the credit to Le Bon for words, vocal, harmony. You could argue bass is significant idenifier in this tune. So not sure i agree with your post. However steve ferrone on drums, and Nile Rogers on guitar .
Loving this even in 2020....seen them perform live twice and would love to see them tour again with a collaboration of classics from their catalogue of music 👍
La sacaron después de notorios solo por ver la aceptación de su nuevo disco, pero fue tal el éxito de notorios , que ya no le dieron la promoción a esta canción como debía de ser., Dijeron duran duran que está era la mejor canción que habían hecho a la fecha...
Represants some of the happiest times in my life: eating spaghetti, drinking crystal pepsi, road trips to snowy lake tahoe, rainy SF park, Marin too.. heaven on earth)
My favorite part of the video itself is the moment where they all have their heads together and it appears it cuts to the next shot JUST before I imagine the three of them cracking up laughing.
My friends and I were in Venice, Italy in February 1987 at a club there when I first heard the single for Skin Trade. The DJ spun the record and played the video on a huge screen along one of the walls of the club. It was fucking magical, all the hot Italian girls squealing with delight as it played. Notorious was a splendid album in 1987. Duran Duran proved it was still the great band of that era, hands down.
All I can say is what I sensed when it came out. Some fans didn't like this darker image of them at the time. Felt betrayed. Was silly. And I even used to. Get in arguments with guys in high school over the better Duran Duran.
Because the people controlling what did, or didn't, appear to do well in the charts were the "skin trade", obviously. Prince didn't put SLAVE on his face for nothing.
Too mature-sounding for the teeny-boppy section of the fanbase, too Duran-y for everyone else. It took until the Wedding Album before the mainstream was prepared to judge the band on its musical output rather than their legacy.
This song definitely has a Prince vibe - the vocals, the keyboards, the guitars, etc. My favorite Duran Duran song right here! "Shotgun for the Wedding" also sounds a lot like Prince. Love it!!!
One of their more underrated songs. Sounds so crisp even after 33 years. A shame music like this wouldn’t get played today. People really missed out on a lot of good tracks.
Crecí escuchando toda la música de los 70 y 80, y por supuesto a Duran Duran, y hasta ahora no cambio esa época dorada de la música donde había tanta variedad, talento y músicos virtuosos. Lástima que a mediados de los 90 fue dejándose de lado la cuidadosa instrumentalización de las canciones.

Raising your kid right...good parent. 👍🏾
Mine too!! I'm from the 80's 💖
Sempre foi a minha favorita também! Tô com 46 anos 😅
Notorius was a very good Album
Top 10 album all Time ..easy 👍♥️🇲🇫
I had it on cassette, wore it out, then got it on cd & still own the same Notorious cd to this day! ❤❤✌️
The best one
Literally my favorite DD song.
This song was always underrated but I think true fans know how great this song is
Yes we do!♥️👄💋
Indeed
It definitely makes me think of 80s strippers.
Absolutely
i absolutely love it even now in 2023! 😍
These guys were on another level back then. And the production here is simply flawless.
They are still on a level with no other.
It sounds so sharp and clear, love it!
Answer:Nile
Rodgers
Never understood why this wasn’t a hit it’s soo good😭
It was a hit. Top 20 in us 🇺🇸 I think
@@timchandler4688It actually only hit number 39 in America.
Yes your correct. Technically it was a hit. Charted higher in 🇬🇧
Me neither. Its one of my go to songs if I'm near a juke box
Agree
A totally unappreciated song by Duran Duran.
Their most underrated song to be honest. Rio, Girls on Film, and Hungry Like the Wolf are good, but so overrated...
And I love it!
American Science as well!
Beariful
Totally agree
R.I.P. / D.E.P., TATJANA 😥
Nile Rodgers really added funk to Duran Duran sound with his production... Notorious is underated album
Cucurullo was also essential here !
Yeah whole album is sexy as hell.
@@popstudioacademy5425 Best Duran Duran album in my records and this is 2023!!
@@popstudioacademy5425 Best Duran Duran album in my records and this is 2023!!
Definitely their most underrated song. A masterpiece. It feels like a blazing hot day lost in the 80's.
One of the best bands of the time...
Thank you on all the music videos
Hello !! lorraine howard how are you dear? always so kind with your reviews. A hug !! . Take care of yourself ;))
Hello i'm fine and take care and hug friend
***** Thank you so much my dear friend. For you too. :)
Hell yes.
This is their greatest overlooked song...that chorus is a gem, and Simon is playing it perfectly!
I love the way Simon sings in the beginning. His voice sounds like Prince's voice. This song is simply one of their best (among another brilliant songs).
His voice seems with George Michael voice
Yeah, it's right, the first time I heard this song on the radio I thought it was Prince
@@alanledesma4945 No shame in that at all. It's so good. This was actually their best phase as a band, and they weren't even popular any more.
Yeah, he didn’t do falsetto very much….
Thought it was a primce song when it came out
It's hard to believe that this brilliant song did not do so well in charts back in 1986
Yeah, I agree...its a Favourite.
It made it to No. 22 in March 1987, I remember buying it in WH Smiths at the time and being surprised that it didn't chart higher than that.
My fave dd track and I only heard it a year ago
My fave
@@boyonthephone1 I only heard this song for the first time, a few months ago. Why didn't I discover this gem soone!
RIP Tatjana.. Enjoyed her presence in this video
😢💔
What happened to Tatjana?
She died of cancer.😢😢😢😢
@@ЗараТ-р7д ok
Simon and the boys never sounded so sophisticated! Always loved the Notorious album!!! The music is ageless!
True, although I'm a bit biased, these are childhood (well 14, 15 years old) memories for me.
Duran Duran got better with age.
Does not get better !!!
Nile Rodgers + Duran Duran was a wrecking ball combo! No No Notorious!
E
I can actually hear every instrument in this brilliant song.
I have a friend that's in a community band that features many instruments and singers. They mostly do big band, r&b, etc. standards, but think this would be perfect!
finally, a cool african chick
That's because it was very well engineered in the recording studio

First thing I thought
This song still kicks ass today
Classic Duran Duran
They made they’re own sound and stuck with it. Love it
Thank You 🙏

I love this song 🎵
One of my favorite Duran Duran songs
Me too!
The best!
2024!
30 years on and this song still sounds so amazing. Great song and impeccable production.
I absolutely agree! Damn great tune!
It's the Nile Rodgers sound, baby...
sonido insuperable. Otras cosas avanzan, pero el sonido es perfecto. (Y eso que tengo un amplificador masomenos
The trumpets are what makes this song.
Special Reconnaissance Regiment absolutely right
and it is even better on the album version!
lets not forget the girls!
And John is what MAKES THIS VIDEO.
No im pretty sure is Duran Duran

Simon Cresswell Queen??
Simon Cresswell Same lol... always loved them!

you riiiight :D
Black Sabbath.. but DD are great..
forever duran duran...

Jeremy Johnson The gated drums help a lot!!
You clearly haven´t heard Bathory...
That crisp Nile Rogers production
Descanse en paz la modelo de este vídeo tatjana Patitz que nos dejó este mes de enero 2023
One of their best songs, definitely underated and overlooked somewhat. I never tire of listening to it.
Simon's vocal range is AMAZING!
He Sang at Saint John Church in Pinner.
I think, not sure.
RIP Tatjana Patitz. Your beauty made this beautiful video shine. Adios, Amiga!

Why would you miss them? They are still around and going strong.
Early Spandau Ballet and ABC too
Great bass line too ❤

Esta canción es una obra de arte, un cruce de la música de los años 40 y 80, como si Glenn Miller se encontrara con Duran Duran durante 3 minutos...
Definitely a nod towards Prince :)
and a precursor to their 007 stint?
Very good Ear my Music Brother
Nile rodgers(chic) produced a view to a kill 1985 and skin trade 1986.
Que elegancia, que ritmo... Bendita epoca.... Duran Duran siempre conmigo
Genius I first heard this at 15yrs old, now 51 and still sounds amazing
Terry Bozzio on drums. Superb track from a maturing Duran Duran.
No need for someone to explain to me ... how great this slick sounding song is. Once more Duran Duran showed they were one of the key bands in the 1980s.

Questa canzone dei duran duran e' bellissima
John Taylor's bass as good as ever.
This is an amazing song and video even after all these years
ClaudiaU hell yeah! i love it
I agree. It still seems oh so fresh.
Lisa Rado actually so nice forever..
hell ye class...
Agreed! I was going to say, re the video, with 30-something-year-old technology, but then saw this is a 2003 remaster. Still amazing tho!
RIP Tatjana!
John Taylor's bass playing ability is criminally underrated.
He's a fuckin' awesome bassist 🤘🏻
Underrated song 🎶 full stop
@P Mc Agree with you. I see 'underrated' on here all the time, like those people are the only ones who've ever heard the music. Well said.
Don’t worry you know the real ones know!!
Ym
Perhaps one of the most underrated funk tunes ever.
To think John and Nick came up with this fabulousness and Simon didnt love it at first . One of their best
A truly brilliant British band, amazing song writers .
Pure Nile Rodgers. Duran Duran are mere artificial decoys here.

i think it's one of the band classic songs
Simon doing his best Prince imitation...Perfection...
Honestly this is one of my definite favorites from this band, the beat is so catchy and the chorus is really neat! :)
Everytime I'm listening to a song from "Duran Duran" (1981), "Rio", "Notorious" or "Liberty" I feel like I'm gonna buy a bass.
+Matheus Dias me too lol, never did tho :/
I always thought the same, and at 42, I finally did. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.
also Planet Earth

Talk about a sexy song, one of my favorites. Classic video showing John in all his glory "sigh"
Simon is lush
John is the most beautiful man alive
John is a beautiful man. He was particularly cute during the Notorious era. That's when he put a little weight on.
One of their best...very under-rated.
