Let’s talk about Duran Duran, shall we? I mean, these guys were the shit. In a way, they kind of still are. Pop sensations breaking ground and mastering the art of the music video, songs that are so memorable, everyone in every country around the globe can recognize them. Tell me you don’t know at least some of the words to Rio or Hungry Like The Wolf? Don’t lie and say you weren’t a little tickled when H&M used a revamped version of Girls On Film for one of their commercials. This band epitomized eighties pop culture and I am honored to know I got to experience it full-on. Even into the nineties with songs like Ordinary World, a song that still holds up today. Since I can’t choose between Rio an Hungry Like The Wolf, I’ve decided to choose a D-squared ballad that makes me close my eyes and breathe in deeply because I just can’t, anytime I hear it. In a good way. This is, Save A Prayer, and I hope you like it as much as I. It’s not Rio, and it’s not Hungry, but it’s Duran2, so it’s golden.
