[deja90mj]

2:20 John is so cute... God, I love him!

[CelesteK]

This looks akward and embarrassing. :(

[CelesteK]

@sweetassnumbah7 I knew it was a farce as soon as I saw Simon miming those sax notes. LOL

Ahh he does look like a real dork here but he's a lovable dork. LOL!!! :)

[CelesteK]

I don't think it's just Simon who looks uncomfortable not really singing. I think the entire band looks uncomfortable with not really singing.

[CelesteK]

0:44

If I didn't know better I'd say that Simon was winking. LOL!!!

[EternalNaga187]

as an 80ies child, i now understand that simon is singing about the Reptillians living underneath the earth LOL

[sanderella]

@EternalNaga187

Is that what this song is about...never quite got it...lol

hello From France,

I love Duran Duran & Spandau Ballet

[miilaso]

Duran Duran is a very very goog band! Best band.

[sicfuker25]

simon le hot!

[InancTR]

İt means ,according to "some stupids",all 80s were gay,

.Because their generation cant think about something without sex.

80s never come back.

[scovolix]

bellissima

[missValeriana]

I love his voice!!

[2degucitas]

Ahh, back when man candy wore makeup and didn't feel gay doing it! They were all pretty, weren't they, and a string of MASSIVE hits at that!

[realtuncakin]

@2degucitas

Amen brother, those were the times...

[goodanswergoodanswer]

All so handsome & lovely........all that talent & presence. Nick in leather; what a knee trembler

[motleyhar]

oooh damn that's a bad Lip Synch job. Then again, he can actually sing.

[BORGCONNORS]

Thank you for posting this video!

[steveey251]

hahahaha awesome.

[at564]

They were such a great band.... unlike all the garbage we got going on now.... Simon & John were sssooo gorgeous... YUMMO!!

[hidoll22]

Group of cutie pies I loved them all

[BabyGurl00818]

Just seen 'Top of the pops-Duran Duran Special' on BBC2. They were so good. Hope they come back to the music scene.

[vaggelisparaskevas]

simon le bon was too big for a pop star .

[DaveWollenberg]

HIt #2 rock, #3 pop in the US (Billboard). How'd it do in the UK? God bless!

[crowTnelson1]

pretty rich sound outta those guitars... considering they aren't plugged in to anything...

[MrBongomonkey]

@crowTnelson1 yeah the cocksuckers....the keyboard isnt plugged in either....fuckin unreal.....the only thing they are good at plugging into is each other! a bunch of gay boys...but their music wasnt bad but!

[goodanswergoodanswer]

@MrBongomonkey Admittedly this was a mime job. They are, however, outstanding live. Also, NONE of them are gay!

[MrBongomonkey]

@goodanswergoodanswer oh theyre as gay as the day is long...dont worry bout that...a buddy of mine was a roadie for them....trust me,theyre gay!

[goodanswergoodanswer]

@MrBongomonkey You're entitled to your own opinion, however, I don't agree with it. It wouldn't matter if they were gay, I just don't believe they are. I think it's another case of assumption being fuelled by ignorance & more than a tinge of jealousy. I reckon some people see what they want to see...................

[MrBongomonkey]

@goodanswergoodanswer well I respect your opinion too.

[cfmack2000]

Simon has the sexiest lips ever

[xDiamondDoll702x]

he's looking like i hope know one knows im lip syncing

[ranaprieta]

DD en su apogeo ! Cuantos recuerdos! saludos a la genracion X de Santiago RD

[JaveDMode]

Wow what an amazing sound he makes from his hands!!!!!!!!!!

[ZiCaRiO89]

I love this theme Thanks!!!

[synthmoog]

i believe exotic gawdess, much reason

[littlemisspink12]

as much as i love them, they are TERRIBLE at miming :(

[cattoes]

What's important is that Duran Duran has always been totally excellent!

[clhough]

Looks like Exotic Gawdess is a a little bent and broken off, if ya know what I mean.

[anthraxmikeydoolin]

[ExoticGawdess]

The "union of the snake" is the union of all nations under one global dictatorship controlled by mass murders who are Jew bankers. They wage wars of profit. Jews of Goldman Sachs were the biggest war profiteer in WW2. WW2 was planned by Jew bankers named Max and Paul Warburg - one pushed America into WW2 the other brother pushed Germany into WW2. Jews murder whites daily and get away with it, Jews pit white races against each other (England vs Ireland, America vs Germany etc). It's "Armageddon."

[heksje69]

@ExoticGawdess related to hitler are you???!!!

[ExoticGawdess]

The "elegant force that's on the climb" is the Illuminati. Illuminati are led by Jew bankers who wage wars of profit by covet means. They control Hollywood & the music industry. The bankers want to transfer all of the world's wealth & power over to Israel's control. They want to rule the world by brute force. They are hidden powers because if everyone knew about them then people would quickly stop the evil bankers from attaining "End Game" - GLOBAL MILITARY DICTATORSHIP. It's real. Research it.

[ExoticGawdess]

The "elegant force" is the invisible hand of the Illuminati who worship the snake god Lucifer that leads Israel and controls the world through hidden banking powers of Jew bankers (Rothschilds, Warburgs, Henry Kissinger, Charles Schwab etc). The bankers murdered JFK who opposed their power. JFK called them an evil monolithic power waging wars by covet means and asked for all to unite to defeat the evil banking powers (the elegant force that's on the climb." Ancient sunworship was based on lies.

[ExoticGawdess]

He's playing a magic invisible saxophone. Where's the sax? It's lip synced for the video, naturally.

This video was made one year after the 1993 World Trade Center attack which was orchestrated by the CIA who hired Arabs to set the explosives. The CIA is controlled by Israel the snake, sons of Cain who murdered his brother Able (Able Danger) so their god would give Cain riches. Financial profit for committing murder is what snake worship is about, what 9/11 is about. Illuminati did 9/11 attacks

[msOctober12]

LOOK at JOHN!!! WOOHOO!!! so cute...oh yeah, THIS is my favorite DD song!

[maibcn984]

I would like to see you in Barcelona in the Mobile Word Congress in february ' 2010.You are the most beautiful .

[nataliagmiranda]

i like the song. very catchy.

[moderndexterity]

making a 80 new wave playlist , send me some ideas per the best songs, like this one.

[1embletina]

my GOD, simon looks so hot!!!!!!!!!

[GillesGerais]

i cant help it, im such a fag for liking this

[offthelinegt]

@GillesGerais i hear ya .. my band mates mock me all the time but .. as a bass player they cant argue with me having john taylor as a musical idole!

[sheesalookerr]

rofl, I love it as well! lol

[JoeyTroy]

Yeah really. I wish theyda give the man a mic stand so he wouldnt have done that ridisulous air sax thing. Other than that...really cool eighties TV performance.

[sylvianblue]

Simon looks really uncomfortable without a microphone!

[offthelinegt]

@sylvianblue being forced to lipsynch would piss me off too

[audiotrauma]

That explains the Air trumpet then... :S

[GillesGerais]

David Gray of Akercocke likes this band...

[lestoil]

Simon is really workin' that air sax!

[lestoil]

I had no idea Andy Taylor even sung.

[CelesteK]

He doesn't sing. That's John on the right and Andy is on the left.

[margaruchy]

La guitarra de Andy en esta cancion es GENIAL!!!!!

[montemayorm5137]

This is such a sensual song and Simon only increases my desire.

[maibcn984]

Wonderful song. D.D. son geniales.

[sicfuker25]

simon le hot!!!!!!!

[karm53]

duran duran one of the best bands ever.

[anndddrrrreeeeesssss]

Great group of the 80's!!!

[sicfuker25]

i like all the expresions in his face when he sing that song!!!!!!! simon le hot!!!!!!!! :)

[jgemslie]

Simon is hilarious! What are those faces all about?? LOL They always knew how to have a laugh, and didn't take it seriously....Loved them then and love them still, roll on Edinburgh Castle nxt wk :D

[EinkOLED]

They are obviously not singing live, just following the lyrics.

[chiftele08]

by the way, this video was a live (of course playback) performance in the videoclip show in germany called "Formel Eins" on 23.1.1984

[JHTV1]

Thanks! Great stuff this. Stage a bit cramped. LOL Always love the footage from European tv shows.

[chiftele08]

what a great song, what a bad shirt...

[agoodcupoftea]

i agree, dude. i could listen to this song all day, but that shirt is more wtf than an eminem video

[meganbear141]

Well, I love music from this time era, but I have to agree- the fashion was a little... off... to say the least. XD

But this band is incredible! :D Even if that shirt was awful! XP

[Brotherrockstar1972]

No SpiralMetal, that's ur nasty upper lip u dirty bagger u :) Take a shower--More like union ofthe soap for u :) he he he

[Brotherrockstar1972]

THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE KUNDILINI SNAKE--within each and every one of us. It's ALL about the AWAKENING YA'LL---HEAR THE WORDS WITH UR NEW EARS. HIDDEN MESSAGES EVERYWHERE--and like the song itself says--VOICES IN UR BODY COMING THRU ON THE RADIO---HIDDEN MESSAGES ARE EVERYWHERE. Anyone been seeing11:11 a lot, not sleeping or eating well. Aching, but then like magic it is gone---THAT IS UR BODY RAISING VIBRATIONAL STATES. WAKE UP YA'LL FROM THE MIND MANIPULATION THEY HAVE HAD US UNDER !!!!

[spiralmetal]

Yeah, I woke up alright, to the smell of bullshit posted on this thread.

[audreyshmaudrey]

i like simon's shirt!

[Beves640]

ive never been a big classic rock fan but i somehow love the chorus in this song

[girleslife]

Simon Le Hot  :D

[CelesteK]

You've got that right. :)

[girleslife]

people that understand me

[sicfuker25]

The union of the snake is on the climb

It's gonna race it's gonna break it's gonna move up to the borderline

yea!!!! good one!

[simplymebabee]

i love them...=] all their songs! their kinda hot too..=] lol but not where i need water poured on me airshow2009 lol ahahaha =DD <3 you all!

[ikeano29]

anyone wanna see the pitfalls of playback watch "all about eve - martha's harbour" live top of the pops

[vjepar]

kida duranz duranz!!!

[maibcn984]

Very wonderful song. D.D sois los mejores. Os amo. Thank you for your songs.

[guitarsmithco]

VERY HOT SONG . IT HAS THE PERFECT SOUND

[ew1951]

This video has great sound quality. It plays great (and perfectly loud) on my tinkertoy Netbook. The color quality is excellent too.

Thanks for posting this classic vid.

[cjs33139]

for those of you who are too young and just discovered Duran Duran, lipsynching was HUGE back in the 70s and 80s, especially for tv shows. Live concerts were obviously a different story. TV was a different format back then. So give them a break. ;) wow, i feel like I am 15 again! Thanks for posting this video!

[mikyhard]

If I'm right this is a playback.

[airshow2009]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW how hot!!!! OMG!!! WOW WOW WOW! oooooh someone pour some water on me!!!!!

[sly923]

i got no water on me...can i piss on you?!?!

[xXElecTricKXx]

How The Fuck Did I Get To This Video.

[ezakimak84]

brilliant piece of 80's music!!!!!

[sylphide13]

I think it's too bad that they're faking, because Simon's voice is amazing in live !

But you're right marmaladetiger, we can completly read what he's telling on his lips (which are so gorgeous by the way)...LOL

[marmaladetiger]

lol. i know their lip-syncing, you can totally tell. but i like this song, 1 of my faves

[Gypsy787878]

There lipping it, this version is from there album lol.

[CelesteK]

Oh yeah! I can tell they're faking it because Simon is miming the sax notes.

[TanzaniteDiamonds]

You're right!! But Simon looks so good! I've never seen this one before --- thanks for sharing!!

Good stuff. Nick's hair is perfect!

[CelesteK]

No problem Tanzanite Diamonds. I haven't ever seen this one before either.

I wasn't sure if they were really singing or if they were faking it until I saw Simon miming the sax notes.

[CelesteK]

Well everyone but Simon is dressed so nicely. What's up with that?

[EvenAfterImDead]

@Gypsy787878 Was the no mic thing that gave them up? Ahaha

[Nyctohylophobia]

@Gypsy787878 In those days everyone was lip-syncing on TV. No one let the bands sing it live.

[CelesteK]

Is this live or are they lipping it?

[jamaicafirst]

love this song

[queenvid69]

i love them

[Gypsy787878]

Loving the synth effects of The Roland Juno 60, they sound so majestic O_O...

Anyways, good sound quality, I dunno why there lip syncing, The only live studio I can think of that has done Lip Syncing in many bands is Top of The Pops?

Who cares, it's a great song and one of my favorite songs from Duran Duran lol.

[TWENTIETHCENTURYBABY]

This is a great video, sound quality is superb.

[1gregmichael]

think their lip-syncing? duh?!

[girleslife]

Simon is still cute ; )

[LouAnn1985]

Duran Duran= the most fantastic band in the world... i started to play bass guitar because of John Taylor!!!!! Simon Le Bon is the most good looking guy in the world!!!

[wisesatyr72]

excellent audio

[maibcn984]

I love this song so much. Arriba Duran Duran. You are the best band of the world.

[shortskirtslut]

can you tell that he has a lisp

[Midnightmaree]

LOL NO MIC! AHAHA Bless him :D

[girleslife]

Love this song and band love all there music!

[porschinator]

Wow...didn't know Simone had a Saxophone implanted into his hands!!! Amazing!!!

[ssudioTVgirl]

Why don't they do any closeups on Nick? It's always John and Simon/Simon and John. Poor Nicky.

[vmanoover]

what about rodger and andy? lol

[jfngjn]

Yea I don't get it either. Nick is just as hot as the both of em!

[Tonkku]

Wow - never seen this this before :O

[milanotre3]

1:59 ..... I shiver and shake for John... my very first love! I was 16 and I have actually been engaged with him for 4 years.... NO REGRETS!!!!!

[omgitsdebbie]

ooo i LOVE simons eyes ;)

[mrsnakehead]

That guy to Simons left (our right) didn't look the part.. He looked like he should've been jumping about in a working mans club -he just wasn't slick

[12081204]

I love this song!!

[cursiecat]

I love love love their music first and foremost, but you gotta admit they were so hot back then and even hotter now!!!

[dfitz5]

Obviously one the best bands, with this being one of their best songs. Rio was also another good one.

[karadot1971]

gotta love Simon,what a ham. He's really working up a sweat.

[bondiekatie3]

simon le bon looks sooooo nice in this video not to sure bout the trousres, but hey this is 1984 were talking about lol

[HanDuran]

I love the faces Simon pulls, when he sings. :)

I love this song!

[203361]

HAHA ME TOO!

[amayaki44]

lol lip syncage.. I mean.. who do they think is singing the girl bits?

[newmoonduranie124]

I love this! So what if they're lip-synching! Lol

[jaejae74]

I love the first 10 seconds...hehehehehe

[DWINC]

why did the public accept unplugged guitars and playbacking/ playdrumming/play synthing in those days?? For pete's sake...wire them and give Simon a mic to PRETEND he is singing. It is such an important detail for such a great band

[fightwithmight]

Wow. If eye maneuvers could kill...

[Button36]

This song is one of my favorites because the lyrics and melody are a picture-perfect description of Bipolar Disorder, particularly, the sensuality and euphoria associated with Mania, when the snake breaks through the borderline, that thin veil separating yourself from your desires and all the weirdness. I know -- I have Bipolar Disorder. My compliments to Duran Duran. Thank you.

[jacksighcon]

that sounds like something a shrink would say

[Button36]

Well, I'm an optometrist, not a shrink, but I have to agree with you on that one nonetheless.

[Smacked980]

Thats a very intersting observation you have made about disorders. To many people don't take them seriously. I have a rare condition called 'H D A D D' High Definition Attention Defecate Disorder. I can't concentrate very well for the most part but when I do manage to, it's very clearly defined.

[sanderella]

Ummmm...I think you mean deficit and not defecate. Unless it's a disorder from both ends. Either way, none of it made sense.

[apologiesaredue]

a bit ridiculous don't you think? Simon looks bored & dead tired (there's no other explanation for that fake sax interlude)
