I’ve said before but because these are the first time you are reacting to songs, it should be the studio version not a live version. Lots of times live doesn’t give the original justice. ❤
For a live performance it's not bad.
Unless it's like Dire Straits or John Farnham where live is the only option! ;-)
Although in the case of this song I agree.
The singer, Simon Le Bon, wrote the song after the loss of a close friend. After several lines of the chorus, he says "where is my friend when I need him most?" The back up singers say "Gone away" He wrote the song in an attempt to help heal the horrible grief he was feeling. It worked. Beautiful song! Thanks for the reaction!!
More talented than their good looks might lead you to believe. The had some huge hits, and definitely show that quality you talk about where bands seem to age well. "Her name is Rio" has the totally opposite vibe from this song. But this song just screams for holding up a lighter!
Wild Boys is better, so is View to a Kill.
Duran Duran, best when watching original videos. they were awesome.
Was coming to say this. Growing up in the 80’s Duran Duran videos were some of the best! I had a huge crush on Simon
I will keep that in mind! And yes, they are great!
The band took their name from a character in a 1968 sci fi film Barbarella. They were massive in the 80s with a string of hits. Their songs were very Cathy and updates. Try listening to Rio, Hungry like the Wolf. They also sang the theme tune to the James Bond film A view to a kill.
The singer and the bassist were the biggest heart-throbs of 1985. Every teen girl I knew was in love with one or both of them.
🙌🏼
I was a Roger girl myself! 😂
Facts. I waffled between wanting to marry Simon or John.
And all the boys were in love with his wife.
@@rosa32 Who's wife? Simon's? Andy's? Roger's? Or maybe Nick's? They all had "beautiful" wifes. Some of them were even very nice people. Also: I've listened to Duran Duran and Depeche Mode since the early eighties. I had to tell my friends, who had a thing about either hating one or the other. I finally got accepted for loving both bands. Depeche Mode was always my favorite band. Always will be. But Duran Duran did make some of my all time greatest hits, as well. Glorious times, back when Autotune was not a thing. 🙂
They were the BIGGEST band in the world in the 80’s and still going strong today.
Lol no they were not even top 50
They released a new album and it's quite good! Check it out if you haven't heard it. One of my favorite bands for sure...
@@awakeforever You are either young or have a shit memory. In the mid 80s, they were by far the biggest band in the world. And because they committed the crime of looking great and making great videos, they were always criminally underrated as musicians, although that has changed over the years.
@@dannycasson1551 Yes. It sounds like something I'd get into. 🙂
@@awakeforever you must not have been alive in the 80s
The backstory to this song is so sad.
The origins of "Ordinary World" were the results of tragedy: the death of singer Simon Le Bon's good friend, David Miles, of a drug overdose in 1986.
Duran Duran started in the late 70s as part of the "New Romantic" scene, with emphasis on a visual, fashion art style. The music is subsumed under the generalized New Wave umbrella. Duran Duran was HUGE in the early 80s. Ordinary World was kinda a comeback for them in the early 90s. I love the first album, and the bass line from Last Chance On The Stairway from their second is really effing cool...
OK, you're delving into my biggest crush in junior high! I adored Duran Duran, and had scrapbooks and such. This is NOT my favorite song by them. Duran Duran was Simon Le Bon (lead singer), Nick Rhodes (keyboards), Andy Taylor (guitar), John Taylor (bass, and my biggest crush), and Roger Taylor (drums). None of the Taylors are related, oddly enough!
The best songs (in my opinion) are these, in no particular order. The videos were cinematic and intense, and added a lot to the songs themselves. Hungry Like the Wolf, Save a Prayer, Girls on Film, Rio, Planet Earth, Is There Something I Should Know?, The Reflex. Some others that are lovely - Wild Boys, A View to a Kill (was a James Bond movie theme), New Moon on Monday, New Religion, Come Undone, Notorious, The Union of the Snake, Night Boat, Sound of Thunder.
And yes, Simon LeBon has a fantastic voice - and an incredibly wide range of styles.
❤❤❤
Good memories! I remember the day The Reflex video premiered on MTV. The anticipation!!
Thanks for the information!! I will keep your suggestions in mind, thanks!
This song was written after the death of one of Simon Le Bon’s closest friends. Simon is the lead singer. This band is amazing and currently out on tour with their album “Future Past.”
Duran Duran is the name of the band. The band was a five piece outfit and they were the biggest band in the world from 1982 to 1985. Bigger than U2, Queen, Dire Straits etc then.
The song is used in a British gangster film called Layer Cake with Daniel Craig and it’s exactly when worlds will crumble.
You were very close about the meaning. Ordinary World" is the second in a trilogy of songs inspired by Le Bon's (lead singer) friend Miles David. The first is "Do You Believe in Shame?" Third is "Out of My Mind" It's an amazing trilogy. Ordinary World was their "comeback" song after having MASSIVE success in the 80's... hell they practically owned the 80's. Many great suggestions I saw from another Duran fan below me.
Hi Rowan! Lol. Did I tell you about the time I met Simon, Roger and John? Simon was a big, sweet teddy bear!
@@Julieroo28 KILLING me!
@@rowanmayfair9249 Ha! I adore Simon. Roger was really nice, too. He’s obviously very nice in general. I could tell John was in a pissy mood the minute I laid eyes on him so I didn’t try to engage with him as much. Nick wasn’t there. This was in Denver. I found out later that they all had food poisoning, but I’m not sure if it was then or later.
I LOVED meeting Simon, but wish I could have met our George. Hope you’re having a nice weekend. 🩷
@@Julieroo28 Your lips, the Gods ears.
I was 'rocker' back in the day, yet I was also a closet Wham/George Michael AND Duran Duran fan. Duran Duran were truly one of the signature bands beginning in the early 80's. The women absolutely LOVED these guys for their looks and fashion, which they blended so well. They were also very talented musicians and singers. Somebody already mentioned reviewing their actual music videos from that time, as not only did they set the standard for video production yet to come, but did it for all genres to try and live up to.
You often comment on you PDing Club, and these dudes might just have been the biggest PDing group ever. Girls LOVED them and even if your girlfriend allowed you to go to their concert with them, you had to resign yourself to the fact that if your girl did get to 'go back stage' to 'meet them', you nor relationship would matter in that '15 minutes of fame.' Sure, there were groupies back then for all bands, BUT there wasn't a girl who didn't become a groupie for these dudes. Shit, you could be in the room with her & them and it wouldn't stop what was going to happen.
The Beatles were known as the 'Fab 4', and these guys were often referred to as the 'Fab 5'. This song came later, but their primary popularity came waaay before this song was released and personally, I really do love this particular song.
Check out their videos...They were the Grand Poopie back in early to mid 80s.
Trust me! Signed - Rocker Dude
IF you could play one of their songs on acoustic guitar or a keyboard and had even a decent voice, you'd have one sewn up in the latter part of the evening at even something like a keg party, campfire, or just playing drunk on a curb of some street. You were golden!
Love WHAM and George Michael. His second solo album is probably in my top 10 favorite albums.
The extraordinary song about ordinary world! It helped me to survive in 90s. Pure magic.
Sorry, but knowing a band like Duran Duran is mandatory for anyone who wants to get to know the 70's / 80's music. They have great hits from those decades: "Notorious"; "Hungry like the Wolf"; "Come undone"; "Save a prayer"; "A matter of feeling"; "A view to a kill" (007 movie soundtrack); "Wild boys"; "Rio".
WILD BOYS official video is a MUST!!!
Simon LeBon lead vocals
John Taylor bass
Andy Taylor lead guitar
Roger Taylor drums
Nick Rhodes keyboards
None of the Taylor’s are related.
Agreed, best to watch the video to this but also must admit, this track was good live
Defnately NOT their best performance. Try ths studio version instead
I will keep that in mind, thanks!
Yeah, SLB (& all of DD) were so young that no one coached him on performing live so DD canceled a cpl tours/performances that yrs later he talked about how he had to scream so he could hear himself over Andy's Guitar & all the screaming fans; so he's had some pretty bad damage to his vocal chords over time; including losing half his range that required him to see several doctors & work really hard to get most of it back, which was a big scare for the band.
But he sounds great still, & his voice is just as unique as ever.
You can really hear his range & tonal changes; particularly when it comes to him doing his own harmonies, which can't be done live w/o using a recorded vocal track & that's just not how he rolls… He'd rather finish the concert missing a few notes or changing the key (like in this performance) than lip-sync, use autotune, or end early; & I totally respect him for that (I'm assuming most Duranies are the same)…
Love this song, takes me back to a road trip I took with my big sister in 1994. It’s unfortunate that his is such a bad performance. Also, I’m pretty sure it was on the soundtrack for the movie layercake.
Hello sweetheart 💋 Duran Duran starred in 1978 hit it massive huge in 1981 with planet earth 🌎🌍🌎 there 1st single in 1982 -1983 they hit duranmania just like the beatles Hungry like the wolf rio save a prayer made um massive huge on planet earth 🌎🌍🌍 omg omg they hit all the countries on planet earth ok duran 2 is in the 90s they released this awesome amazing song the singer is simon Lebon is vocals and Vocal cords will bliw you away so duran2:is when they hit it big now its 2023 theyve sold over 100 million albums plus and still touring across the globe look up there history just amazing 👍👍👍 ok ive been a die hard Duranie since 1981 i was 12 now 54;yrrs old lol 45 yrs theyve been going Duran Duran best band on planet earth 🌎🌍🌎 look up there history ok and ordinary world is about Simon lebon losing a very close friend who passed away so go for it girl you will totally enjoy
Duran Duran is the name of the music group. They started on late 70s and and after 15 albums still record and tour around the world. I know Simon had problems with his vocals probably around this time. He is not sounding his best here. He can definetly sing and is still sounding great these days. Oh, Simon wrote this song after his best friend passed away.
His vocal cords surprises everyone 🎉🎉🎉
Great song. Good live performance, but it cant touch the studio version, which you should also check out.
I will keep it in mind, thanks!
Please do come undone 1993 live unplugged Background singer is amazing and they had her sing lead for a bit
It’s a good question. I mean I always wondered if those four guys were all brothers whose father’s last name was Beatle. Also with the Rolling Stones. Same mystery.
might wanna check out these Duran Duran songs: Hungry Like The Wolf, Planet Earth, Girls On Film, The Reflex, Rio & Is There Something I Should Know
I will keep those in mind, thanks!
Simon seems to be mailing this one in. Not his best effort. I have seen him sing this better many times.
You just listened to the the biggest band of the mid to late 80s . Simon Le Bon the lead singer . There was no one to touch them bak then .REFLEX is one of favourites . Thanks for Bringing the Great DURAN DURAN here . John
Have a look at Duran Duran - Come Undone (unplugged) 1993. If you have the time young lady.
I will keep it in mind, thanks!
@@brittreacts Thank you for the reply and stay safe.
As you dive down the Duran Duran rabbit hole, might I suggest the following songs:
Hungry Like the Wolf
Union of the Snake
Notorious
I will keep those in mind, thanks!
Roger Taylor, Nick Rhodes, Simon Le Bon, Andy Taylor and John Taylor
80s throwback. So many good songs by Duran Duran
90's
@@rowanmayfair9249 yes the original song like 92 or 93 but the band developed in the 80s with their first 2 albums. I grew up watching the now defunct MTV and seeing Rio and Hungry like the Wolf. Respect was given and then early 90s Ordinary World album came out and was fantastic. I still have several albums on tape trying to find the good ole vinyl version for my collection.
And if u didn't know they r doing shows this summer and fall. If u did then this is for anyone else who reads this and maybe go see them if possible. Thank u
Try the studio version!
This is my band. I’ve loved them since I was a teenager and got to meet them about 10 years ago. I felt like I was 15 again.
that is so cool you got to meet them!!
@@brittreacts Yesss. I told the lead singer I had been waiting almost 30 years to meet him. He was so sweet!
Simon le Bon can hit them notes. 👍
Watch Hungry like the wolves. Duran Duran were mega big in the 80's!
Girl if you want some truly southern (clean) comedy look up Jeanne Robertson "never send a man to the grocery store"
I will keep those in mind, thanks!
Not Simon’s best vocal. There are better performances. It’s like he was afraid his voice was going to give out.
It did give out back around 2003? Lost his whole upper register! Very scary! He worked really hard to get it back and now sounds better than ever! ❤
@@NoCanDu That's right! I had forgotten that. He worked with a vocal therapist and learned techniques to preserve his voice and you can tell.
Oh, Duran Duran was my 2nd celebrity crush (the first being Bo Duke/John Schneider). I was 16 in 1984 and this band was IT. So many other good bands, but damn, John Taylor tickled my ivrories. Only 80's pop band I've stuck with through the years, or even more than one album. They have a hard rocking side (see Of Crime And Passion) that sent me towards rock,rather than pop. Went off with Bon Jovi, then Whitesnake (old school, y'all, not the scream fest versions, but the blues rock versions) Heck fire, can you do a react to old school Whitesnake? Say, "Don't Break My Heart Again," "Ready and Willing" or "Lovehunter" or even the later "Slow an' Easy"??? Talk about tongue in cheek!! (the asides in those songs are almost better than the songs themselves!) Coverdale is awesome at "tongue in cheek" comments
Ok, i saw this and i had to pause....even before i watch, i know youre gonna love her dress! So in advance I'll say great reaction ( as usual ), from west coast Canada 🇨🇦, peace. Happy Thanksgiving! ( here its monday oct 9th. ). Thought youd do the original video....oh well.
Easy listening is how I'd describe You. That is the highest praise you'll get from me. 😅
If you want more try "Rio", "Hungry like the wolf", "girls on film" or "Wild boys" But look for the original videos, sadly the live stuff just isnt as good
Oh, this band will be a fun rabbit hole for you, B! One of my all time faves! Try ‘Save A Prayer’, ‘Girls On Film’, ‘Come Undone’, ‘Pressure Off’ (with Janelle Monae), and ‘Rio’.
It’s a band. You need to see some of their original videos from the 80’s. Women loved all of them specially Simon Lebon.
It was rare back in the day to have just a singer with musicians that were not as band members. Today you have a “singer” and that’s debatable with a bunch of back up singers and fluff. Some artists today if they had to sing live couldn’t Hack it! With the exception of Taylor Swift, John Meyer and Adele music and artist fall very short of what most of us older folks grew up with. I’m a 60s baby so I grew up with 60s, 70s and 80s music. So you can imagine how critical I am of today’s artist. of course my faves are Led Zeppelin, Journey and most of all I am a Steve Perry girl😎
Hi hello love this video what an great reaction by you again thank you so much for sharing this video with us love it Britt.❤️🌹🤗👍
This band really wasn’t my cup of tea back in the day, but I did really like this song.
Their name came from a SciFi movie called Barbarella. Current lineup is Simon LeBon-singer
John Taylor-bass
Nick Rhodes-keyboard
Roger Taylor-drums
They have been making hits and music for over 40 years and were pioneers of the synth-pop and video genres.
You actually cheated yourself, Britt, because more catchy even than the vocals is the guitar melody you talked over not once but twice. That is the most brilliant part of the song.
Shortened, Duran Duran is just the name of the band. Doesn’t refer to any particular member
Why do you always listen to concert versions of songs? Is it some kind of your principle?
Never liked Duran Duran, then I found out this was their song. It's so different from their earlier hits.
you are becoming my favorite reaction video commenter. Your face is very expressive and predictable. I am a fan of the songs you cover too.
This song, arguably, was past Duran's heyday in the 80s but it fits in so well with their catalog. There's just something about them and their sound that is so, I don't know if iconic is the right word, but certainly recognizable. While I'm only a passing fan of their work, I have to say, when I hear a Duran song from my youth, I get happy.
Hi Britt, definitely check out Rio & Hungry Like The Wolf. 80’s music at its best & they’re still playing to HUGE crowds at their concerts in 2023! True talent. 🌸🙂
so next duran duran reaction girls on film than hungry like the wolf and to end A View to a Kill
The great survivor band of the 80's and still putting out great stuff today
Duran Duran is definitely worth a deeper dive. They were HUGE in the late 70s and throughout the 80s, with a catalog to match, and they're still around today. Thank you for this great reaction! ✌💙✌
I think they have a song in James Bond movie.
A View to a Kill
That is so cool!
The song is about his best friend who lost their life.
Simon live, is singing flatter than flat.
This song keeps me going in hard times. So sad, but yet so hopeful.
Next time Wiki DURAN DURAN. 👀
The name comes from a character in a sci fi movie with Jane Fonda “ Barberella”
Thanks for letting me know! that is so cool!
@@brittreacts your welcome I’m a wealth of useless knowledge 🤣
The character’s name in the film Barbarella was Durand Durand. The group liked the name and guess they thought it sounded better without the last letter D in each word!
ref barberellla
for the band name
Pretty song!
super catchy song
that it is!!
Great reaction! You should watch the videos for Rio and Hungry Like the Wolf. This was when they were at the height of their popularity. They still tour and release new music today! To see them now watch their video for Anniversary !
I will keep it in mind, thanks!
Cold...hot...cold...hot...happens a lot when you are old! Love your stuff!
Glad you enjoyed the video!!
Only with every breath I take by Gene Pitney ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I will keep it in mind, thanks!
Duran Duran get their name from the antagonist of the 60s sci-fi film Barbarella, Durand Durand.
Ordinary World was a comeback song for the band in 1993, when theyd been on a slow decline after the original line up disbanded after LiveAid in 1985.
Lead singer Simon LeBon was never a great lyricist but this song is an exception. It's one of a couple Duran Duran songs where he's processing the grief of a deceased friend.
Guitarist (at the time) Warren Cuccurullo created the composition. Warren wasn't part of the earlier classic line up of the three unrelated Taylors', Nick Rhodes and Simon LeBon, so hes not in the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame with the others.
Its a memorable song but not signature Duran Duran, which is mostly dominant syncopated Bass from John Taylor locking in the Roger Taylors drumming, Disco meets Punk and Power-Pop, supported by Synth textures from Nick Rhodes.
Thanks for all the information!!
This is an odd choice of both song and version of that song to start off Duran Duran with. You shouldn't judge them by this. Check out other songs like A View to a Kill, Wild Boys, Rio, Notorious, and Hungry Like a Wolf instead.
Hit the studio version and then tell me what you think of his voice
this song is about the death of Simons best friend who committed suicide listen to the words because of his grief he is trying to find his back to the ordinary world
Duran Duran - Wild Boys (long arena uncensored version) you gonna thx me latter :)
I will keep it in mind, thanks!
@@brittreacts keep in your mind.... the whole story is mindblowing...video, lyrics, music...pure 80's :)
