True (erotic) art. They dont make em like this anymore. Duran Duran spent a fortune on thier videos. This video reminds me of the art of Olivia De Berardinis - but in motion.
they always loved having beautiful women in their videos...Duran Duran were so original in concept,style,music,and lets not forget....lyrics.....if you listen closely ..most of their songs make no sense.......by the way this video is a precursor to madonna's overt sexuality and lady gaga's irreverent themes of homo-eroticism.
This is for those that dare to say that the 80s were decadent... This is pure brilliance, both the song and the vid. Any comparison with an average modern music video is futile.
Haven't heard this in years. It sounds even better now than when I first brought Rio on cassette in the mid 80's. Brings back old memories but the music is timeless. Love it. Cheers from another kid from the 80's.
@GenoClown Yeah, I'm a homo and I'm gonna fuck you to death, sunshine - you better fucking run! Because your mom's got tiny titties that were useless for breastfeeding you, don't vent your issues here by calling random strangers a homo.
A: If you were smart enough, you would've capitalized on me calling you a homo by retorting with a "sexual insecurity" comment or something to that effect. Instead, you try breaking away from the typical insult structure and make yourself sound ignorant. I never mentioned myself or any of my hangups or problems in the previous comment.
@GenoClown " Instead, you try breaking away from the typical insult structure and make yourself sound ignorant"(???) Hahaha, you pretentious tit. Try taking your own advice
This Video is a work of Art! Loved this song ever since i first played and heard it at home on my record player when i was a teenager. Truely this band was gifted, and not recognized for it! Loved all their songs! Brings back memories of the 80's when music was music! I remember when New Wave came out and it took the world by strom like not seen today!
I wish I had walked down the aisle when I got married to it. It's been my favorite song for almost 25 years now. I guess they'll just have to bury me to it now.
wow, it's like David Lynch directs Duran Duran videos. Great video. It is kind of creepy in a lesbian-erotic way. Which is definitely in the style of David Lynch lol.
Although this IS shot in beautiful B&W and delectably conceived at that, what with its juxtaposition of beauty & danger, this is, IMHO, one of the creepiest songs ever committed to the cinematic music videos medium. Thank you, emiamericarecords, for this magnificent gem ~ (•8-D
This song is just awesome .. it has a dark atmosphere .. but in the same way is sexy and classy .. I love it, an' I'm surprised to see this video is still on youtube .. 5G*
Duran Duran always had the most artsy, and provocatively avant garde videos. Some, pushing the envelope, in a most tasteful way. Their videos credence, paralleled that of their music.
I'd never seen this video until I got their "Greatest" DVD, of course because the nudity kept it off MTV. Now the song easily gets stuck in my head. I'm surprised to see this on YouTube actually. This video was on here with a black bar across the topless woman's chest.
is this song duran duran's best? i had no idea it existed until the other day... it's by far the best ive heard from them and to be honest some of their more known songs like rio get on my nerves
Wow, this is HOT, even though it's a bit vintage. Best part is Perri Lister (Billy Idol's Ex) doing the dance. Small as her breasts are..she looks hot, hot!
unique song from them, happens to be my favorite. there's something shadowy but at the same time exotic about this song, reflected by the lyric and also the video. truly a classic.
wow, up 'till now i didn't know that the Urbs version was a cover. the original is really awesome (Urbs version even has the pan pipe!) and the video is really good. glass towers, isolation, keeping the world at arm's length... what would freedom be?
I have always loved Duran Duran for the subtle sexuality in their lyrics and videos...I am glad I grew up listening to this kind of music that wasn't so in-your-face sexually. It just seems more mature than I think things are now. Always a favorite!
im going to be honest, i recently heard the Deftones cover for this track... then i check out the Duran Duran cover... amazing! i really am getting into DD now.... really, like you said, is one of the reasons why i love this type of music (classic). but what youre describing is that sellout music on MTV so really its not every genre XD. first My Bloody Valentine, now Duran Duran. if you got suggestions for bands D.D., pls do tell. =)
Okay, that was just weird. But I guess good quality for what it is. I like the song. That topless chic is Perri Lister, Billy Idol's former girlfriend and mother of his son.
I remember this and the long version of Girls on Film being on a greatest videos hits I got on VHS back in the 80's. My dad and stepmom's family banned me from watching it while hootin' and hollerin'. I was told to fast forward over those videos. Um, yeah. Telling a 9-10 yr old not to look at soft core porn is like...well telling a 9-10 yr old not to look at soft core porn! LOL! This is can write off as "art" but Girls on Film, is like every fantasy the boys had back in the day. ;)
what is the name of the chauffeur at :40 I read somewhere that around this time Roger Taylor had stopped appearing in videos because of his anxiety attacks.
Wow, I love the song and love the band but what the hell is going on here? It starts out really high-brow and artsy, and then descends into this muddled pseudo-lesbian dance sequence with the chauffeur as voyeur? Oh well. It still beats anything on MTV now.
BIG Duran Duran fan since age 10. YouTube is fantastic, because tonight was the first time I have actually seen this video! It was so naughty that young ones like myself never saw it. Sexy! :)
