Duran Duran - The Chauffeur (Live 1984)

[Zicky74]

I was 10 years old when my father bought me my first tape, Duran Duran "Arena": thanks daddy, that day I knew what is "THE MUSIC", DD forever in my heart !

[InCatlandWithJane]

i love the Dali-esque crutches in the beginning. brilliant stage art.

[mnljh711986]

My teenage years wrapped up in a nutshell was Duran Duran

were my teenage good as a result?

HELL YEAH!!!

[amywynn217]

I LOVE this song! Simon's whining is amazing!

[hassannassaralah]

there is fuck all songs as good as this ..its a masterpiece

[sharkbeatable]

at 4:46 - 4:49 sexiest man alive

[voinovsky]

У 18 идиотов нет мозгов. Концертное выступление, кстати, гораздо круче....

[BuckBundy2000]

Harry Hill's TV Burp brought me here.

[jkar1973]

Duran is like a teenage bomb intellectuel and raw in the same time.

[CI0vers]

play the fuck outa that flute u little floutist

[svelte487]

is there a reputable site that has an mp3 download of this?

[Gina97xls]

@svelte487 Amazon sells MP3s

[thehargettfamily]

Lady Gaga?!?!?! WTF!!! I'm sorry I like LG but DD is a whole other level! Love this song!

[blurose7]

Who in their rit mind would dislike this song?! Or much less compare it to lady gaga?!

[m14m1a1]

this is no lady gaga

[hassannassaralah]

thanks simon i am eating anti depressants like smarties lol lol.

[ghanzo70]

una delle canzoni migliori dei Duran

[baradur1964]

to this day none of my old metalhead friends could understand why i would see DD every time they came 'round, well lets see fantastic music, great shows, and oh,yeah- the audience was full 70% love-sick girlies. not until bonjovi was there such a target rich environment. thanks DD!~!

[raeynah]

Love this song but I was surprised how well Deftones covered it, they did a really good job. Nothing will beat DD in my heart tho :)

[hassannassaralah]

love this song but dont know where my life is going..not much lefe of it me thinks...i loved this band

[Magpie1019]

OMG!!! I couldn't even PICK a favorite from this album!!!!

[skimp1974]

Eighteen people either clicked the wrong button or they just don't like real music.

[cleantonight1972]

I used to listen to this in the mid-eightties at the same time when i was diggin anthrax,suicidal tndencies,kreator and so on..of course i didnt tell my moshing friends about this..

[hippibillie]

I loved them then and i still love them now! This is the best song for crankin it up and pushin the petal down as far as it will go! oh yeah! P.S. the deftones did a great job remaking this! check it out1 they did Simon proud!

[mizzang]

This song reminds me of a stripper who I greatly admired.

[LAWLZ133]

@mizzang The one from the origional video? lol

[MelTorProductions]

Wait, I kno the third guy on the poles is Simon (obviously. I mean, who else can sing like that, especially hanging upside down like he was), but are the other two guys dummies? It looks like it---I mean, they both look like Simon, same hair, same height, and they're slumped down in a way that wuld b rlly uncomfortable for a living person. I used to think it was John and Andy, but they're onstage, so i guess they're dummies (the other guys on the poles, I mean).

[CandleD]

They don't make songs like this anymore. GREAT SONG!

[tylergirl1970]

@CandleD but they DO make songs like this today... it's just always from the legendary Duran Duran. Check out Man Who Stole a Leopard. :)

[icewoman972]

love this song....best of DD ever....:)

[SweetSoulDevil]

this is the song of my life! amazing

[kiararei]

can you imagine how hard it was to sing while laying on that contraption?

[kebarra1]

AMEN!

[TheDekker71]

tr-808 and jupiter-8

[Thessoup]

4: 38 Ocarina guy major FTW!!

[stlbomber70]

NIce song.  Deftones version is good too!

[Shikuhari]

The singer sounds like Mike Patton... weird

[LexInfinitum]

I saw DD in concert last weekend at the Chavon Amphitheater here in Romana, DR ...absolutely smashing, ageless sound, these guys sound exactly like 25 years ago performing this piece...unbelievable...

[mjtf1113]

at MY funeral........I want to be stuffed............and cord stuck up my ass..........which when pulled will play an ARRAY of songs from DURAN DURAN.....howsaboutthat?

[Simon4642]

@mjtf1113 only if i can buy the plot next to you

[mjtf1113]

@Simon4642 HA, you made me smile and laugh. Yes Duran is a force all its own

[kiddadd]

@mjtf1113 that should be a toy. i'd buy one.

[superfh4040]

enigmatic -- psychadelic -- S U B L I M I N A L

[thisone248]

Good idea lolita, I would also include some A-ha themes', like" blue sky", it rhymes with blue silver ....

[carlosfarinha917]

5 stars * * * * *

[jennifer03878]

My absolute favorite DD song!!! So beautiful!!!

[Kittyghirl]

Singgggggggggg bluueeeeeee silvaaaaa

[montaneejo]

So popular at their time by their "oh-my-god they are so beautiful" looks yet so underrated of their talent back then. It takes so many years and so many modern/gothic rock bands' covers for music listeners to really appreciated their work.

[zellerh100]

Great song and great groupe

[Simon4642]

come on who in the world sleeps with out dreams

[darcstryke]

who DISLIKES this, seriously???????

[Simon4642]

@darcstryke when u go to sleep so come the dreams

[sadalite]

best song to jam to from my favorite band. Quite simply brilliant.

[RainPoetry]

These lyrics are so stunningly dark and beautiful. They've always stuck in my head all these years. Simon LeBon's lyrics inspired me to write poetry back then.

[Theguitardude100]

fantastic



[jennifer03878]

One of my all time favorite DD songs.. So hauntingly beautiful!!!

[damashja]

i have the full band autographs with pics contact me at wken79@live.com

for sale or im going to ebay

[gibic400]

best live version

[eltrono22]

aUGOR

[edu36gon]

1984-ARENA !!!!!!!

[donnapanda]

does anyone remember the acoustic of this song on the b-side of the rio single? it was acoustic and live and sounded amazing. it was listed as sing blue silver

[GECHIKID]

Auto tune been out since the 70's idiot...Stevie Wonder was one of the first to use it

[1bigpaws]

i heard this on headphones in jan 85 with snow all around.It was late evening.I was 17......So much better live as the synth is so full.What a memory.where has time gone?

[MsSuzyq72]

goosebumps everytime....

[Nik17days]

@ mysticalVentus.. i was just thinking the same re Salivador dali...

as a kid i saw this concert & never quite understood that part...interesting to see how ahead of their time Duran were & howcreative....

[MysticalVentus]

The begining looks like Salvador Dali paintings

[amberfwn]

I love the set and acting almost as much as the song.

[Earthfart]

@amberfwn The band met Simon as he was studying theater.

That explains most of the band's theatrics.

[hansela8]

fucking brilliant

[jeroenalberto]

their best song ever! Magic!

[AfternoonLemon]

Somehow I've never heard this song before... what a superb song.

[Earthfart]

@AfternoonLemon Wow, seriously?

The video for this song was the first video to be banned from MTV.

The Deftones have a cover of it that has a whole different feel, but is fantastic

[2323chicubs]

greatest song by duran duran

[smithypeart]

i was looking at duran songs and this is one of the best,but you can not dismiss,New religion?

[rcartoj]

Yeah, Simon Le Bon played a great frontman on Duran Duran. wow, what a nice performance by DD.

One of my favorite.

[sadalite]

I remember watching this on Cinemax as a kid (and the soft porn at night) because I had my own TV downstairs with cable yeah yeah i was spoiled

[thisone248]

A masterpiece! So sweet and sensual as it's possible. Magical...

[theendlessenigma]

i blast this on my 1.21 jigowatt car system. I drown out everything within a 14 mile radius with this song. The kids look at me like I am nuts. Who cares.... this stuff is the bomb. Intricate lines of bass, keyboards and voice make this a true masterpiece which I intend to cram down as many people's throats as possible.

[Lamia7609]

@theendlessenigma And that is why you are awesome

[theendlessenigma]

@Lamia7609  why thank you!

[Simon4642]

@theendlessenigma can u move next door to me? i live in connecticut i will pay air fair?

[LexeconKiddo]

@theendlessenigma LOL...we should have a Duran car blasting face-off.

[theendlessenigma]

@LexeconKiddo My new system, which I personally designed runs off nuclear fission. But I like a challenege

[LexeconKiddo]

@theendlessenigma Haha! My system isn't even a system, and sucks less only when blasting this song. But yes, any chance to get near a good sound system blasting anything from this album and I'm there.

[theendlessenigma]

@LexeconKiddo i am game. 

[sicfuker25]

simon le hot

[mcgmcmullin]

This song is pure sex. Sugar coat it all you want: there is no getting around it. This song is pure sex. And my husband is grateful for it.

[metalslut1]

@mcgmcmullin ...and the call ME "Metalslut"? LOL! ;)

[Talkingforfree]

@mcgmcmullin

true...the opening rhythm sequence alone has impregnated millions.

Awesome song

[Lamia7609]

I remember watching this back in the day good times!

[GILBERHE]

VERY very good old memories of the 80's love it

[billntom4ever]

aw the sound is off a bit, I think.

[KushalaDoara]

wholy crap...still tits

[hitachiwowo]

i remember saying to my mum and my younger brother that this sounded good,they agreed with me. i miss them so very much as they departed from me. this song mean,s something to me and i,ll try not to forget it.

[GLR1968]

Immense song !

[AIimento]

This is my favorite song by Duran Duran.

[xoxxobob]

seiously? what band today does this?

[balinesa]

This hanging bodies are very much inspired in Dalí paintings

[balinesa]

MASTER PIECE

D-I-V-I-N-E

[megamarillion1]

15 amébas não gostam dessa música... tadinhas das amebinhas!!!

[Hardwarejoe99]

Great live performance...80s classics

@lolitasanos80s WELL THANK YOU FOR letting me know im not alone

[Myk1304]

Their best song, by far!

[jkar1973]

3.50-end, one of the best instrumental parts of pop music history.

[JohnnyDuranS]

true true

[SamiraRaks]

One of their BEST songs...EVER

[MrDiego881]

@SamiraRaks one of the best song ever written i think

[icewoman972]

[FalineWhiteTailDoe]

[dvusilov]

@FalineWhiteTailDoe

[lparaujo2003]

LINDA MUSICA!! DD FOREVER!

[ThePhantomas79]

GRANDES DURAN DURAN!!!!!!!!

[smellyhonkey]

Man I remember my sister promising my parents she'd to pay for Cinemax just for this show..We still have cinemax lol and she never paid! My fav DD song right after Late Bar and Girls on Film!

[lparaujo2003]

musica ESPETACULAR. Simon le bon great vocals!!

[MrCrrispy]

The greatest Duran song, but not really "live" LOL!

[photon72]

My top song of the 80‘s. Hell! my top ambum of the 80‘s!

[maurshunny1]

A bit of Salvidore Dali happening here, but definately one of their all time best songs, along with Planet Earth.

[mauriceslf]

Man I hate live music but this is just as good as the original...different version too.

[drjstaszak]

Definitely the best DD song ever written. Simon is such a great poet and songwriter.

[kristi1963paris]

awesome!!!

[desertgeologist]

What no autotune? What is this? Talent?

I had forgotten what it was like....

[novembrine1]

@desertgeologist

No autotune, BUT a studio made live album/video :)))

Corrections were made :)

Still, he's superb anyways!

[dmouland]

@novembrine1 definately no autotune, autotune wasnt invented until 1996 lol. Anyway,your correct, their a superb band indeed

[Charrister]

Love Simon's vocals in this

[bvg83]

like the beginning

[rongravy]

laying there all wounded...

[JessieJedwardGrimes]

I'm 12,Duran Duran are my favourite band,and this is my favourite song by them,and my favourite song by them.As said in the comments below,I don't know how this wasn't a massive hit.

[truediabolique69]

@JessieJedwardGrimes it wasnt a massive hit because it did not receive airplay...only if you bought the album did you find this treasure of a song

[gregingram1970]

@JessieJedwardGrimes Its coz its an album track and not a single. But lots of people know of the song coz of the repuation that album had...maybe the best album of the 1980s...

[TheKarensmythe]

One of my favourite Duran songs of the 80's

[IzzyTush]

The audio track is of course a real live performance (very good one) but they put a video clip on it instead of the real stage images... That's too bad in fact.

[psiconauta21]

The best of Duran Duran and one of the best songs in the 80's (and 50's and 60's and 70's and 90's and 00's and.......

[CherryWiiw]

Luv this song...^_^

[bernsbandana]

of course that was not sung live! It's a M-U-S-I-C V-I-D-E-O.

[GisellaUnforgotten73]

I don't believe not even for a minute that he was singing LIVE in THAT position!!..sorry!

[deepace]

the beggining looks like salvador dali paints xD

[cour71]

I don't understand why this song was not a huge hit. If you love well written, timeless material this is it

[deadwhorestorage]

I wuz there!

[3MC4]

@deadwhorestorage how old are u ? :P

[sylvan001]

Masterpiece.

[beyond4hk]

@sylvan001 @sylvan001 TRUE! SHEER MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!! Really DO hope the fab 5 can get together again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheCancio68]

how lucky to have lived those years!!! i'm so happy! great D.D.

[rememberthediamonds]

Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving, all looking for a new place to drive.

[ZolotayaRybka]

Simon is divine! Just before and during the collapse of the Soviet Union he was a breath of fresh air to the post-Soviet youth. Music is special for those who could hardly carry a tune, Simon is a gorgeous hunk who could sing and impress! WE love it!!!!! Mr Simon le Bonne (Tres Superb!)

[BRUNOGUSTAVOGOMES]

best group ever ...from Portugal

[sgilchrist1972]

Saw them at Reunion Arena in Dallas in 84. Frickin awesome concert. Saw them also at Six Flags in 86. One of the best bands of the 80's.

[44TeddyBear]

Awesome!!! Surely their best song!!!
