Duran Duran - Electric Barbarella

[randomduck13]

And this is my favorite music video by Duran Duran :)

[Bactchan]

And with this song comes a weird kind of full-circle closure. Duran Duran was named for the villain in the '68 scifi weirdness known as Barbarella. (Barbarella was also the name of a club where many music acts played in Birmingham, England at the time.)

[wolfhunteralone]

eso es Anorexia!

[42bluey]

me thinks thats katy perry if its not sure looks like her

[johncop34]

1:53 skype

[punk8399]

this was my best friends all time faverite song. R.I.P Ryan Kieth Klier

[ScottACNohea]

I love this song, I love Duran Duran, but this is the first time I have seen this video. Does anyone find it odd that a bunch of dudes are playing with a mannequin?

[BloodyWire408]

Is that katy perry?

[nljuggalo]

@BloodyWire408 The whore didn't exist back then. 1997 was a good year.

[1Catherine101]

I had a maaaassive crush with a guy who looked so much to Simon! ! ... He was just too shy :'( ... awww.... Simon! the original, I prefer you above all men! :D you are my Electric Simon! hahaha Luv Duran Duran!!! 4 ever!

[REMCUREBOY]

I am seeing them here in Chicago this week...and I really, really wish they'd play this song live!!!!!!

[TheEhce]

My girl would've been 30 today I dedicate this to her

[witheredfairy]

I LOVE this song and its vid. But what's up with the terrible quality of the video, though?

[nljuggalo]

@witheredfairy Picky much?

[witheredfairy]

@nljuggalo Picky? what? is there something I'm missing here? this IS uploaded by emimusic, right? I wouldn't mind if some fellow youtuber uploaded it with this quality but these guys own the video. Besides, I'm not demanding anything, I'm just asking. Geez, you people can be so condescending.

[pinup60]

@witheredfairy i agree

[ant1ph0n]

@witheredfairy are you really asking why? holy shit...

[valericool]

The Electric Barbarella from this video is prettier than Barbie herself!

[Aleksandr680]

отличное видео

[Kazzerie]

hurray for baberal!!!!!!!!!!!

[crashbandi53]

Is the salesman Rowan Atkinson?

[TheHoneyfunk]

fedde le grande. duran duran did it 1st....and better

[sallygirl2066]

Gives the robot a jack rabbit classic sex doll action LOL

[sallygirl2066]

Simon is so fuckin hot

[seaniebouy]

They got their name from the movie "Barbarella"

[REMCUREBOY]

What's odd is this is probably my favorite Duran Duran song. I love it. (I just wish they'd play it live again...) "Emotionless and cold as ice, all the things I like..." I love that.

[zakman246]

FAIL: Uploaded by EMI, Says VEVO at the bottom. xD

[marcoilbiauto66]

fantastic video and song .......

[lillybillson]

i love how much taller than Nick, Simon is x

[TheEhce]

It's amazing how many metalheads love DD

[Yvory6]

omg yje first and last time I heard this song was 12 years ago

[avalanchealonso]

This is the era where Katy Perry used to be a full long haired blonde.

[TheNintendoJuggalo]

@avalanchealonso Don't mention that hack in a DD video.

[hailvishnu]

@avalanchealonso She kinda does look like Katy Perry, doesn't she?

[Lookin4sweetTALK]

the irony?:

Katy Perry is a real-life whore doll.

[edson333]

@hailvishnu hahaha yeah right, barbarella is  prettier

[JillmanVideo]

Devon Aoki @ 3:08 =)

[Kashmiran100]

Brilliant song and video.

[LAWLZ133]

anybody notice that Warren starts to take off his jacket after the Barbarella kissed his cheek?

[TheSUMMIE]

of course Nick is doing the makeup :)

[marcoilbiauto66]

fantastic and wonderful video .....

[littledkov]

just for those who liked the video, Ellen von Unwerth takes the credit for this brilliantly sensual video... loved it !! and so very funny. look up at her photography too btw...

[MariposaAllegra]

love the guitar in this song

[Tcc80s]

I liked this song back when it came out....I think I"m over it now :)

[narmolania]

While watching this video, all I could think about are those women forsed to be prostitutes..... Yeah, it is a sad thing and all, and should be stopped, but why cant I stop thinking about it WHILE LISTENING TO DURAN DURAN!?!?!?!??!?! A real buzz kill for the music ; ____ ;

[donnadunkle]

i just love this song and the band wow is all I have to say!

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

It's SUCH a pity that WHen the originall Duran reformed with Andy Taylor for 'Astronaut' he ended up leaving a 2nd time when they could have just kept Warren! RAther un loyal unfortunatel. HOW I ADORE 'MEDAZZALAND'

[Aggedor1959]

Forgot all about this song until I saw, 'The Electric Barbarellas' were on Ferguson tonight. :D

[ethanfourr]

@Aggedor1959 Lmao I didn\'t even know of this song, but I came to check it out simply because of the Electric Barbarellas that I too, saw on ferguson! :P

[misscatalina711]

I thought it was Katy Perry also! I think she ripped off the look!

[LittleEmoDancer]

So is it just me or is that model just Katy Perry in a different colored wig?

[ugalawdog98]

@LittleEmoDancer Nope. Her name is Mya Dunkel.

[ugalawdog98]

@LittleEmoDancer Nope. Her name is Myka Dunkel.

[gstephensmith]

This is a surprisingly good song.

[RocioDD]

first song ever available for download in the internet !! Duran Duran always ahead of time , i love my band ! awesome warren ! for ever duranie !

[aragorn100000]

nice and funny clip!!

[brbgal]

Simon, Nick and Warren were all so HOT in this video...would have been hotter if John would have been in it and wouldn't have quit...but you all know how that situation was...

[r3ignm4n]

It has been touted as the first song available for digital purchase/download on the Internet

[Simon4642]

@r3ignm4n could not find my book of explinations touted is a fish or im just out of touch with the lingo

[shockadelica]

If I had A robotic sex slave, it would look like Adam Lambert and I would dress him in leather.

[JuniorBuda]

I knew when I first saw you On the showroom floor You were made for me I took you home And dressed you up in polyester Princess of my dreams Emotionless and cold as ice All of the things I like The way you look The way you move The sounds youre makin In ultrachrome, latex and steel NO EE FIIINOOO

[mybagisgreen]

how stupid is it that when you try to link certain vids to your facebook, VEVO blocks you from doing so?!

[MrDeelightful]

For everyone who complains about the video, have you listened to the lyrics? It's blatantly obvious that the song is about a robotic sex slave. C'mon, people.

[F2Mbody]

Why can't those blow-up dolls do this?

[purpssss4]

Love this song, it should of been a HUGE hit for them, but alas they were not given any much support for the album, this was off. It was NOT even released in Australia, the first time for them. I got an import copy, and loved the album. This single, did appear on the GREATEST cd, in Australia, but by then it was toooooooo late, to even be a hit. Such a Shame!!!! It is such a classic Duran Duran track.

[IIIIsabelIII]

love!!!

[tedcantu1]

I used to play this over and over and over and over... like... 12 times in a row, and never get enough of it.... this song is like that

[sirroxalot]

I would get two and have them perform hot, lesbian sex.

[myrtlebox]

I used to listen to this back-back-back-back-back

...and then...I queue'd it up again for good measure

[88fredmcfred]

Sounds like Tears For Fears Pale Shelter in patches(thumbs up if you agree). But don't get me wrong - I love the song.

[maisky]

This is Luciano Spaletti - ex AS Roma coach!

[jl22071]

EDGY AND FUNNY!..JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT! JAJAAJA

[VfangzV]

That sexy robo-chick looks alot like Katy Perry! @me if you agree!!

[tigerborn62]

HALLUCINATE AND TRANQUILIZE. Brilliant. (from the movie, of course)

[CAPTAINSARGE]

Hate this vevo thing

[MissPsychoFreak]

I have loved this song since i was 2! im 15 now & it will always remain my fav song..........but dont get me wrong I LOVE pretty much ALL of DD's music ( and i love todays music as well!) (MOSTLY Lady GaGa!) Im a Duranie Monster ;) haha random!

[sumwotcurvie]

LOL @ 1.36 the look on her face is "You're gonna put that were???" I love this song...Video...Band...JOHN SIMON ROGER ANDY NICK... *SIGHS* YESSSS ;)

[qaliqo]

Anyone notice they're all three sharing her?

[lys84]

mdr

[enigma800]

I could just see Taylor Momsen doing a video similar to this.

[BohemianConspiracy]

the refrein sometimes reminds me to something from the 1976 "Destroyer" album of KISS and the guitar is quite reminiscent of early recordings of Garbage .... and who's that girl ?

[balzenschaft]

shocking

[MattmanLovesMusic]

Never heard this until a couple days ago. What a fantastic song though video might be construed as a tad exploitative/sexist!

[LeaShaz]

Great song, shame about the video!

[ThePunkAngelxD]

ahhhh this is too *awesome * <3 duran duran forever!!

i want to be your electric barbarella

[alfok]

Poor Barbarella at the end :( change batteries is the solution for everything

[bryarworship]

That's not how you use a curling iron!!

[MattmanLovesMusic]

@bryarworship

that's funny!

[singbluesilver9]

I love this video. Simon looks absolutely beyond gorgeous. Yum. I want to be taken home and dressed in polyester. Just great stuff.

[randomduck13]

I love this video :)

[litalovesu]

She looks a bit like Katy Perry.

[kushharada]

one of the worst song of duran duran

[LEVIAHAN]

Cant wait for the future when im rich to afford one :D

[stackjoint]

that is the worst shit I've ever heard in my life

[stackjoint]

that is the worst shit I've everd in my life

[TheIgnius]

Actor of electric barbarella is extremely hot!!!!! :@@@@@@******

[KasHCubeD]

@TheIgnius Myka Dunkle. Look her up.

[Mystisiler]

@TheIgnius you should see the actress who plays barbarella in the movie Barbarella. Jane Fonda was really hot then.

[Mystisiler]

@TheIgnius you should see the actress who plays barbarella in the movie Barbarella. Jane Fonda was really hot then.

[armpitdew]

@TheIgnius Actress... but more model. Myka Dunkle.

[ugalawdog98]

@armpitdew Yes, Myka Dunkel is the anorexic chick in this video.

[winterknightx]

@TheIgnius It's fake dumbass.

[rjinblack1970]

@TheIgnius Myka Dunkle is playing the robot ;-)

[GermanSniperBayArea]

this song really takes me back! in a very good way!

[only4tsc]

I want one.

[Deanocub]

That ain't no curling iron! It's a vibrator! They bought her to be a maid?? Ha!

[ferrarif40owner]

I want electric barbarella to give me a blow job :-)

[puacino2]

Good song!

[Phoenixkidd]

Total Objectification of Women! --I Love it !

[CAPTAINSARGE]

great song , great band even though I nlike heavy metal one still has to appreciate good music .

[RenadeNoir]

doing a Sex Android Burlesque Act to this.

[101Cypher]

best duran song eva

[mattstone12]

she is hot.

[KaristaSwiss]

so why was she short circuitting.. was she disgusted with what they wanted her to do

:o

[dmode007]

lol, nick would know how to put on the lipstick!

[poopyscoopy5]

I hope he isnt talking about a man dildo in this song

[EmilySlash]

When I heard this song, I thought she would be very beautiful, kinda like a Barbie doll, but I'm disappointed. She's not pretty at all, she's damned creepy. I still love the song though. I can just imagine someone like that coming at me with a knife, in my dreams.

[duaneburnett]

@EmilySlash you think so Emily? I think she does look a little creepy but she is supposed to be a robot though? Her name is Mika Dunkel and she was 14 when this vid was shot. All the girls in this vid are quite young . Apparently that is the way Simon and the boys like them . John Paul Gaultier is the robot salesman too.

[marianogedisman]

@duaneburnett : She was only 14 on this video? NO WONDER WHY I FIND HER SO HOT.

[RydiaMerchan]

@marianogedisman she was 17.

[marianogedisman]

@RydiaMerchan : Awww TOO OLD :(

[oldmismatist]

@duaneburnett Myka Dunkle was 16 when this video was made in September 1997. It was initially considered child porn, but since no nudity... no harm, no foul. She has gone on to complete her college degree in human studies and is currently in a masters studies program. While she is still thin, her modeling career is NOT in her rear view mirror.

[oldmismatist]

BTW: Devon Aoki, who is featured in this video, was the first choice for the 'maid'

[poopyscoopy5]

@EmilySlash

That's because you are female. I'd give it to her.. full force

[teobare]

da sempre 3 semafori più avanti di tutti gli altri

[teobare]

da sempre 3 semafori più avanti di tutti gli altri

[djazr]

haha this is like rocky horror but with a girl

[tatts2004]

i have been a DD fan since the 1st album......gosh.....that makes me still young...lol..this song kinda reminds me of thier earlier years....note howeva the girl who plays electric bararella reminds me of katy perry much to my disgust

[cyphernyquist]

Sexy Band....Duran Duran. You are one of my inspirations

~Cyphernyquist.

[blurose7]

LOL! I like it when Nick can't make the remote work and throws it to Simon! I just love it!

[Bossness123]

@blurose7 Lol, Nick was always like that lol

[wagsouza]

FUNNY !

[MelancholyKitty]

Hilarious video, great song but, um... when Simon gives the living doll the curling iron is she um, going to do what I think she's going to do? Or am I just a pervert? :-)

[singbluesilver9]

@MelancholyKitty Nope, you are not a pervert. The red curling iron has since become a red dildo in Duran Duran fanfic. And it's fucking awesome!

[michaeljehn]

Fantastic. Timeless perversion. Buffoonery in the extreme. And who else but Duran Duran could make such decadence look so stylish?!

[nukecat]

@michaeljehn I CONCUR ! i cant think of too many artists of today that could pull it off so well. except for maybe prince

[TheHighPriestess666]

Loved it when she starting brushing nicks hair, i burst out laughing! Really wish i could meet someone who looked like him ;__;

[Hairmonia]

This is a very stylish video, every hair is absolutely perfect. They were my inspiration long before I knew Id be a hairdresser. Still, i prefer Jane Fonda as Barbarella. This one is absolutely funny when dropping the glasses.

[triumphstag2008]

Very nice song!!

[davidsook]

<33333333333333333 love it!!!!!

[Pulsar205]

interesting song. those blue eyes on that malfunctioning doll!
