This is a band that was dubbed 'a kiddie/ girlie band' by the critics of the '80's, a band that would be forgotten in a year or two. The critics obviously aren't always right when they call something...
One of the best songs these guys wrote. These guys MADE MTV. Don't believe any different youngsters. Sounds a lot like Muse huh? If you can find these albums on vynl, buy them. it's so worth it. Cd's don't do this band justice.
Lovin this ones, if your a DD fan Check out the new (QUESTION ft DURAN DURAN) Video -Take It Back, let me know what you think, i am a true fan of Legendary Duran Duran and hope i have done them and the fans proud.
I've never seen this clip before! I like the last scene of the guys getting up from playing cards, and I get to see a view of John's cute butt! :) lol
Dear Simon - when making a video, it would be wise to remember the lyrics. He screw up in the chorus between the words waiting & taking. Example, he messes it up a bit after 2:14 when he's suppose to say "waiting", but watch his mouth at that part, it doesn't match up, looks like he went to say 'taking' instead.. But all is forgiven since this is one of my fave DD songs, it's amazing live & i love Le Bon. But wondered if anyone out there (pun intended) noticed his bad lip synching in this video?
@j7609 Simon can do whatever the hell he wants :) he's SIMON! He's my DADDY! :) LOL if he messes up the lyrics so what? :) I'm just glad they have videos that we can continue enjoying for years and years! :) loosen up a little!
You are such a sweet fan!!! Like my sister used to be. I loved John Taylor because she did. I was only 11 and I knew I was supposed to like some female singer like Kim Wilde or something but John was THE GUY!!!
@Gina97xls i am loose (well, not like that ;) but you & other people who have replied to me here about this video shouldn't take my comment SO seriously. maybe you missed the part in my comment where i wrote;... "But all is forgiven since this is one of my fave DD songs, it's amazing live & i love Le Bon." i just think this vid is funny/cheesy. and yes, it's def. enjoyable too. i'm not so uptight that i can't get past the Simon's mistakes. mostly just wondered is anyone else noticed it too?
yes dear, i know when Simon's birthday is and that he's a scorpio. i've known since Rio came out. Simon was always my favorite. but yeh, thanks for the info. i know.
and acorrding to you, he may not screw things up, but just cuz he's a scorpio, that doesn't mean he doesn't make mistakes. we all do, no matter what or when our birthdays and signs are.
Wow! I've never seen this video! Thank you, I didn't even know they made a video for this song and it has been one of my favorite Duran Duran songs for years. Cheers mate!
to dirtylarry69 - talent wins out and they (DD) were cool and then there was a long while when they weren't and now most people realise that DD were something special- brilliant lyrics,melodies, and video clips way ahead of their time and they could cut it live ! and remembering their interviews they had wicked senses of humour so you stick with em ! Hope you didn;t listen to all those people who bagged em and you went home and listened to DD instead ! Enjoy!
guys, duran duran is a very well respected band within the music industry...they have influenced countless bands (one way or the other), and are known as good musicians, and basically are the main band credited for MTV's popularity....they definitely got/get their just rewards....especially from within the industry.......
You know, I always thought that there had been a video for this. I remember seeing them sitting all around the table. Somehow I thought it was some alternative version of Careless Memories. Man, this is fantastic to see this... thank you for sharing this!
Duran Duran were and are still an under appreciated band in my opinion. They certainly have their loyal fanbase of which I have been a proud part since 1982 but they should be in the Rock Hall of Fame and not a one off like the Beastie Boys !
Bloody awesome. Love Duran Duran. I think a lot of Duran Duran's songs from the first album and Rio that weren't released as singles were better than some of the songs that WERE singles. For eg. Friends Of Mine, Nightboat, The Chauffeur, Hold Back The Rain, New Religion. Although I loved Planet Earth, Careless Memories, My Own Way.
He was an armed robber in the UK that was released based on the witnesses being unreliable.. he had a campaign, ran by friends, for his release essentially..saying he was innocent and the eyewitnesses were not reliable. Shortly after he was released he went back to jail for one or two more armed robberies
We were witnesses of a great music era (the one of new wave and the new romantic movement) that will never return but will always remain. Take this out of the eighties and there isn't so much left.
This was one of their songs that I always thought there should be a video to. And what do you know.... There is one for this song. The things you happen to stumble across on YouTube!!
I think this video would totally complete the first and original Duran Duran video album. You know, the one that came out in "82 or so with videos from the first two albums.
I still think their first album was their best stuff. Rio was great, but by the mid-80's, they were too showtime. This song alone beats Notorious, Skin Trade, etc...
I always get cracked up laughing at them on about 2:50.. I wonder what they were all laughing at.. Maybe one of the guys from Duran Duran will post and let us all know!!
Listening to this song is like a time warp back to the 80's when I was young, with burgundy hair, eyeliner and frilly shirts! God! Duran Duran, Simon, John, Nick, Roger and Andy...Damn! I loved you guys! And PEACE to my high school Buds! Lori, Christine, Marcie, Les, Eddy, Paul, Kelly, etc etc...Haven't seem you guys in over 20 years! But I loved each and every one of ya! Hope life is treating you good!
I'll never forget at school assembly circa 1982 when I looked round and saw 4 boys with coloured quifs and eyeshadow..I thought OMG its Duran Duran LOL, Brill band and loved by everyone , esp school circa 82.
I love this song. Don't they all look REALLY young? Early Duran was brilliant, I really love all of their early stuff. This song deserves more attention.
Effing fantastic song! and wow what a treat to see a vid I have never seen before, I have been a huge fan ever since I first heard Planet Earth back in 1981, AWESOME stuff.....
And I thought that I saw every DD video ever created. This is a hidden treasure, that they themselves might not even know about. Now U-Tube has it. What a treasure, and God do they look hot, as always-Especially Simon in his sexy military look. What a gorgeous hunk. These guys are the epitome of male sex appeal. Va Va Va Voom!
OMG! I have never seen this. I've been a huge fan since 1982-83. This is an amazing video. Thank you for sharing it with all of us Duran2 fans. Even after twenty something years, I still adore each one of Duran2 especially Nick.
this song is one heck of a briliant song...i seen Duran Duran live here In Sydney Australia 2 days in a row last month March 2008 at the Entertainment Centre and at the huge huge outdoor concert the day after and wow was if packed with 10,000's of fans from 18 - 40. Duran Duran you guys know how to rock so thank you for the awesome music and concert.
I didn't even know this existed!! Bloody brilliant!! Thank you for posting it. I can't believe that after being a fan for 29 years (yikes!) this is my first time seeing it. I have made it one of my favorites.
We must be. I remember being 18 in high school back then!...I would say 99% of the kids were into Rock Music at my school....I was the first guy to come to school wearing eyeliner, Burgundy hair, and baggy New Wave suits and frilly shirts!!! I instantly became one of the most popular guys in school....total chick magnet! Oh the good ole days! Thanks Duran Duran for all the great memories! Oh...I failed my Calculas exam cause I stayed up all night waiting in line to get Concert tickets! LOL!
Try going to downtown Toronto in "New Romantics" gear .... there were certainly a few folks taking souble takes .... but defintely good times and plenty o chicks in the dance clubs at the time. While the rest of the world listened to Rush and AC-DC, we partied to DD and the like. Those were great times!
Get Out! Are you from Toronto?? Me too! I grew up in Scarborough!! But I live in Japan now! I'm not sure if you know the after hours Club that use to be in T.O. back then called The Kongo Club! I used to hang there a lot! Did you go to the DD Concerts at Maple Leaf Gardens back in March 1984??? Best memories of my life!
I actually frequented 3 after hours clubs in TO (1981-1987)...Bio-rhythm (Yonge/Wellesley), Voodoo (next to Bio-rhythm), & Twilight Zone on King/Spadina?? Also went to Klub Domino and Kongo as well.
Concerts attended:
July 6, 1982 - Concert Hall (best one of all-Simon apparently performed with a torn knee ligament)
Few people knew of DD at this time (if you were tuned in to CFNY you knew of them)
I went to the Voodoo club once. That was a long time ago, like 26 yrs ago. My girlfriend at that time was really into DD a few yrs before I was. She went to the DD concert when they opened for Blondie at the EX. What kills me to this day was that, after the concert (which I didn't attend) she called me to say she was going to the airport to see if she could meet the band members, asked me to come along but I said, no (dumbass). She met them, got a lot of photos. Missed a chance of a lifetime.
I'm a little bit younger than you, but I knew this song back in 1983- it was one of my faves. I was such a Duranie back then- I'm so glad to have found most of their videos on YouTube, but I would LOVE to get them all on DVD if possible. (I'm even considering buying "Arena", in spite of all the bad reviews).
Their 1st album was by far their best. 7 & the Ragged Tiger is 2nd IMO, then Rio, then the rest ^_^
i'll be forever thankful to Nick and the lads for writting this song. love what the guy does with his synths through-out the entire DD debut album, especially the so called b-side.. look at this video's 3:07 and you'll understand..!
The keyboard style they used in their first album is great - it's not "in your face" keyborads but a classic background sound that makes the song great!
yeah! i so agree. i love it when people describe Nick's synths 'atmospheric' because they truly are. though i must admit that 'in your face' synths do also work at times, take Our Daughters Wedding as an example, if you'd like:)
I love 2:55. I wonder what was said to make them laugh like that. So cute! I love this song but sadly I had forgotten about it after all these years, it's great to see it again though.
Got it from a very reliable source that this song was done AFTER PE...source said that it was done around the time of My Own Way (makes sense, they look similar in both vids), which was after PE. And no, I don't reveal my sources! LOL!
LOL,that was my "very reliable source!". Katy is a wealth of info. She even told me in a response email that "I have had an unusually high amount of questions about this".
Simon's yummy on this video! Now I remember why when I was 11 or 12, I felt so excited watching these videos...Hahaha! My first crush! I still adore him, but through the years my admiration has become more quiet...It's like having an old friend...hehehehe. I'm happy that now they've been acknowledged as good musicians...Love you, guys...Come back to Chile sometime.
I remember this song being quite longer. The beginning always sounded like a helicopter landing. It sounds like near the end some of it was cut out too. But regardless, wow! I remember how much I loved this song in my Durany days. Thanks for the memories! (All my D2 LPs, 12"s, etc. are somewhere in storage )
Oh my goodness! This just happens to be one of my all time fave unreleased DD songs! I love it! And I agree...Simon (my fave) looks AMAZING in this video. I do disagree about it being before PE though...he, as well as the others...looks more like the time between ITSISK and the SATRT album. I could be wrong though. Doesn't matter...he looks AMAZING! Thanks for sharing this.
Im just wondering, whos singing the deep voice part?

I had this tape when it came out in 1981 and played this song over and over again. I love it. So cool sounding even now.

this song is one heck of a briliant song...i seen Duran Duran live here In Sydney Australia 2 days in a row last month March 2008 at the Entertainment Centre and at the huge huge outdoor concert the day after and wow was if packed with 10,000's of fans from 18 - 40. Duran Duran you guys know how to rock so thank you for the awesome music and concert.

I didn't even know this existed!! Bloody brilliant!! Thank you for posting it. I can't believe that after being a fan for 29 years (yikes!) this is my first time seeing it. I have made it one of my favorites.

I loved Duran when I was 18 back in 1983....I've heard this song but it was the first time I ever saw this video at 43 yrs old...Damn!

We must be the same age ... it took youtube to introduce me to the video of what has to be one of their most under-rated songs!

We must be. I remember being 18 in high school back then!...I would say 99% of the kids were into Rock Music at my school....I was the first guy to come to school wearing eyeliner, Burgundy hair, and baggy New Wave suits and frilly shirts!!! I instantly became one of the most popular guys in school....total chick magnet! Oh the good ole days! Thanks Duran Duran for all the great memories! Oh...I failed my Calculas exam cause I stayed up all night waiting in line to get Concert tickets! LOL!

Try going to downtown Toronto in "New Romantics" gear .... there were certainly a few folks taking souble takes .... but defintely good times and plenty o chicks in the dance clubs at the time. While the rest of the world listened to Rush and AC-DC, we partied to DD and the like. Those were great times!

Get Out! Are you from Toronto?? Me too! I grew up in Scarborough!! But I live in Japan now! I'm not sure if you know the after hours Club that use to be in T.O. back then called The Kongo Club! I used to hang there a lot! Did you go to the DD Concerts at Maple Leaf Gardens back in March 1984??? Best memories of my life!
08030309961 3 years ago
I actually frequented 3 after hours clubs in TO (1981-1987)...Bio-rhythm (Yonge/Wellesley), Voodoo (next to Bio-rhythm), & Twilight Zone on King/Spadina?? Also went to Klub Domino and Kongo as well.
Concerts attended:
July 6, 1982 - Concert Hall (best one of all-Simon apparently performed with a torn knee ligament)
Few people knew of DD at this time (if you were tuned in to CFNY you knew of them)
Aug 18, 1982 (Opening for Blondie at CNE)
March 5, 1984 at MLG
Great times!

I went to the Voodoo club once. That was a long time ago, like 26 yrs ago. My girlfriend at that time was really into DD a few yrs before I was. She went to the DD concert when they opened for Blondie at the EX. What kills me to this day was that, after the concert (which I didn't attend) she called me to say she was going to the airport to see if she could meet the band members, asked me to come along but I said, no (dumbass). She met them, got a lot of photos. Missed a chance of a lifetime.

I'm a little bit younger than you, but I knew this song back in 1983- it was one of my faves. I was such a Duranie back then- I'm so glad to have found most of their videos on YouTube, but I would LOVE to get them all on DVD if possible. (I'm even considering buying "Arena", in spite of all the bad reviews).
Their 1st album was by far their best. 7 & the Ragged Tiger is 2nd IMO, then Rio, then the rest ^_^
MeOw!

i'll be forever thankful to Nick and the lads for writting this song. love what the guy does with his synths through-out the entire DD debut album, especially the so called b-side.. look at this video's 3:07 and you'll understand..!
CircusOfHeaven 4 years ago 2
The keyboard style they used in their first album is great - it's not "in your face" keyborads but a classic background sound that makes the song great!
piedrada 3 years ago 2
yeah! i so agree. i love it when people describe Nick's synths 'atmospheric' because they truly are. though i must admit that 'in your face' synths do also work at times, take Our Daughters Wedding as an example, if you'd like:)

i only thought they only made videos for the singles they release... interesting... anyway, nice find... thanx xD.

This is a curious find. From the styling I would guess it was filmed about the same time as My Own Way. Where did this come from?
kevinmyuen 4 years ago
It was filmed after Planet Earth. Definitely before Rio came out. I believe it can be found on the Greatest DVD. I'll have to look to be sure.

Got it from a very reliable source that this song was done AFTER PE...source said that it was done around the time of My Own Way (makes sense, they look similar in both vids), which was after PE. And no, I don't reveal my sources! LOL!
jenholtsands 4 years ago
It was done after PE. I asked Katy. Although Simon has told a friend FOM was done first.
SimonsArena 4 years ago
LOL,that was my "very reliable source!". Katy is a wealth of info. She even told me in a response email that "I have had an unusually high amount of questions about this".

when did this vid surface? always was one of my fave duran tunes and always wished it was a single and a vid (needed a night version/12'' mix too!).

Simon's yummy on this video! Now I remember why when I was 11 or 12, I felt so excited watching these videos...Hahaha! My first crush! I still adore him, but through the years my admiration has become more quiet...It's like having an old friend...hehehehe. I'm happy that now they've been acknowledged as good musicians...Love you, guys...Come back to Chile sometime.
Germania72 4 years ago
I remember this song being quite longer. The beginning always sounded like a helicopter landing. It sounds like near the end some of it was cut out too. But regardless, wow! I remember how much I loved this song in my Durany days. Thanks for the memories! (All my D2 LPs, 12"s, etc. are somewhere in storage )
Michelle062970 4 years ago
Oh my goodness! This just happens to be one of my all time fave unreleased DD songs! I love it! And I agree...Simon (my fave) looks AMAZING in this video. I do disagree about it being before PE though...he, as well as the others...looks more like the time between ITSISK and the SATRT album. I could be wrong though. Doesn't matter...he looks AMAZING! Thanks for sharing this.

It is WAY too low budget for this to have been done AFTER ITSISK. It's even lower budget than Planet Earth!
