#duranduran - White Lines (Don't do it) - #futurepast @ovationhall Atlantic City Nj. September 23rd, 2023. This is a cover version of "White Lines" featuring performances from Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel was released as the second single from English new wave band Duran Duran's eighth studio album, Thank You (1995), in March 1995. Originally the song was intended to be an ironic celebration of a cocaine-fueled party lifestyle, but it was abridged with the "don't do it" message as an anti-cocaine song as a concession to commercial considerations.

I didn't like this.. You can't beat the original
They also left out the good bits
You can't Popify White Lines
Also it's weird to play a song like this now and from a band like this
1. It's no longer the height of the crack epidemic
2. Most people don't even know what Pure as the Driven Snow means anymore
3. Duran Duran never fought against drugs
i didn't like it in 95 and i don't appreciate it them doing it now
it's like when Dj Bobo did, Somebody dance with me and rip off Rockwell
it's not cool when this is done
