Fame by Duran Duran

A rare classic from Duran Duran circa 1981....originally a B-Side, this song is a cover of David Bowie's "Fame". Video was made by Teknosapien, a fan that remixes and re-edits videos for songs that never got an official video release. I got this one from the duranduran dot no webside.

Brilliant remake of Bowie. This came out on a Japanese Import-Their first release called Night Romantics....Hunt it down and buy it. A beautiful song on it is called Khanada....Oh my, the beautiful sound of the Brits.

@skunkus It is not changed. It is the Japanese fucking up yet another translation because they are most likely sitting there listening and trying to figure out the words themselves, but it is all wrong. Japanese lyric sheets are notorious (no pun intended) for wrong lyrics. There is a great Ultravox one where it says something about "I'll sell you my story Clyde." it should be "my slow reply". We had a laugh about that and made jokes for years about Midge's imaginary friend Clyde.

OMG, I just love this version of Bowie's classic song. Both the song and video compliation takes me back to be a 13 year old back in '83 listening to DD. I had all four walls AND ceiling covered with Duran Duran posters, especially with John Taylor. ;)

First time I heard this on KROQ (LA radio station) back in the early 80's, I recognized Simon's voice right away. I was so excited to hear it until my brother said that the song wasn't by Duran Duran, it was by David Bowie. I could have SWORN it was D2... and years later, I found out I was right (this is one of their earliest cover songs that went to print)

Thanks, Technosapien! Your work is always awesome!! *luffs*

MeOw!

I love the My Own Way cover from Japan. I bought the Nagel print for it. Actually, I am also currently using it in my DDM sig and on my MySpace default pic!

I seen on Ebay many LP's with that band around them, would be kind of cool to get em all.
