Looking back at all the bands and music I used to listen to back then, I'm surprised by the bands that I actually have a deep appreciation and respect for. I mean I liked the music of Duran Duran back in the day but because there was so much other music around back then, and because I was just a kid, they were lost in the mix of all the pop and rock and new wave bands that were around. But looking back, much of the music and many of the bands I once liked in the 80's I've since come to realise lacked true talent and musical production genius. Many were just disposable pop and rock artists. But Duran Duran were absolute geniuses at creating, arranging and producing unique, seductive and indulgent music that truly stands the test of time. Their videos are works of music video art. The guys are just such nice guys. They are truly dedicated to music as they are still producing music to this day. And they've released a number of hits over a span of 4 decades. They are exciting because they keep evolving and entertain us with new music and with their stories from their musical journey and with their music from their early days which is still pure ear candy.
Perfection. Simon, Nick, Andy, Roger and John all shine in this single. It was a flop upon release, but it's become a staple in their live shows. I loved it in the 80s, and I still love it in 2020.
EMI chose it as a single. After it crashed in the lower reaches of the Top 40, the label decided to let the band choose the singles instead. Next up was "Girls on Film".
What an absolutely wonderful tune. I was 9 years old when this was out. I had a best friend called Simon. (And, no, his surname wasn't Le Bon! Funnily enough!) He adored this song. I still remember him singing it one evening as we went home after mucking about for hours after school on the local playing field. 40 years ago, but an incredibly vivid - though not careless - memory. A couple of years later he moved to Surrey.....and, of course, eventually we lost touch. Have been trying to find him for the last 20 years or so, but all to no avail. I'm 50 now, and he will be next year. Simon, if you ever see this, get in touch. I'd give my right arm to reminisce about those childhood days with you.....and, hey, maybe play utterly brilliant stuff like Careless Memories whilst we do.
And,.....were liked and "followed" by a LOT of even YOUNGER "babies".....I, though MUCH OLDER NOW, was one of those "babies"..... "Once upon a time, in times LONG past...."🫤🫡😁
Duran Duran could have been the biggest band in history. And still be today. They wanted to change their formula and that's how history went... But from 1981 to 1985, boy, they were kings.
Yes, but the song wasn't such a great hit back then as it should have been, its a great hit in their concerts I thought Simon was the most gourgous man on earth when I first seen him in 1980.
Tengo 54 años de Chile y los he visto en vivo tantas veces como a KISS y sólo puedo decir ...Que gran banda , como suena ese bajo John , Simon un crá !!! y NIck un cerebro de esta banda .Soy fan de KISS desde los 8 años y es mi corazón , pero Duran Duran es mi alma y tego todos sus discos ... Grande DD !!!
I just saw Duran Duran at the Hollywood Bowl last night. They played this song last night. It was outstanding. I'm 50 and had never heard this song before. Shocked to see it came out in 1981!?!?! I thought I knew all their tunes. Need to revisit the early albums. They still put on an incredible show. Check them out while you still can. Nile Rodgers and Chic opened for them. Nile was their producer for a while.
The albums were never again as consistent but still very good. You could probably make it four if you include the Arcadia album which is pretty much Duran. Magic was still there for the singles though all the way to the 2000's
This is probably my favorite "broken heart" song ever. The lyrics are brilliant, and the desperate anger and pain is conveyed thru the music perfectly. Such a fckn awesome song. "I think I'd die, I think I'd laugh at you, I know I'd cry - what am I supposed to do - follow you?"
This is another song I love so much! Mr. Le Bon's dancing is amazing in this video too! 😊 I love singing this song and performing it on my clarinet! Duran Duran did an amazing job with this video. These are one of the songs I heard in concert at the Hollywood bowl and in a few other times I went to Duran Duran's concerts and the song still sounds amazing live! 😄👍😊
I just saw them last night at Madison Square Garden and they played this. I rocked out so hard. There wasn't a single empty seat in the stadium and everyone was dancing the whole time. It was magical. My only disappointment was they didn't play 'New Moon on Monday' (one of my all time faves). Where are you/did you see them?
@@futureidol83 I saw them in Toronto on August 22. I was so thrilled when they played this song. The concert was absolutely fantastic. I'd see them again tomorrow and the next day if I could.
Very valuable piece of "memories" from Duran Duran in their start carierr. Remembering that it is the time, that never come back, so this video and song gives us somehow indelible trace of 80's .... thank you for posting....
Yoooo tambien Daniela ,un temazo ,un clasicon Duran Duran una banda que traspasa generaciones tengo todos sus albums, un gran abrazo desde Rep.Dominicana
When i heard this song for the 1st Time all those years ago.I fell in love with it Straight Away. I bought the Album the Next Day and just listened to it Over and Over and Over and Over. And i was singing the chorus as "Pretty Girls Never Ring" for a very long time. Even today it sounds like "Pretty Girls Never Ring"
*Hair Dye, Frilly Shirts, Sashes and Kilts!* 💜 The _New Romantic_ Look was so cool... though short-lived. This song has such an energy, live in concert the song is epic!! The bit in the video with the tulips must symbolize something... shattered love?
have to get mine for the Sep 6 show in Boston. haven't seen them since 12 during the second half of the AYNIN tour. missed out on the 16 Paper Gods show.
Is there anything more 80' s than the 'jogging in place to every other beat' dance? I've always thought of this as more of an Andy Taylor song, and maybe the most Andy song of them all, aside from 'Hold Back the Rain'- which is just dynamite. I find the interpretation of the song kind so literal as to be somewhat humorous, which is topped in humor by Simon's overdramatic acting. It's nice to see Andy mug for the camera, and John's always good eye-candy, but what really catches me by surprise is Roger's clothes. Everyone is completely New Romantic (Simon and Nick, predictably going all out), whereas Roger looks like he's ready to start on the Rio tour. I've always honestly thought every member of the band brings something valuable/essential, but have also always thought of Roger as the unsung hero. His drumming is tight, flawless, relentless and really perfect on every song. Such a great band- even on b-sides like this.
DDvideos give me a feeling of being there...being present in all dance and alive. Cant stop the love..thanks to you all for a lifetime of freedom and abandon for the amazing beats, lyrics and energy👍🎶🎵👋⭐⚡💥💋
Is it wrong that this band still really excite me as much today as in 1981?
Not at all...they're still putting out good music. Great band

Hell no it ain't
@@rick_terscale1111 Absolutely! "Seductive music and videos that are works of art."
Nope. Their songs, especially this one, still make me lose it.
I seriously miss the 80's, and Duran Duran played a huge part in what made that decade so great.
the 80s everyone outposed each other , cool and pretencious , and every one went out for a good time ,wish could go back to that :)
Duran Duran my favorite band from 1984 (then I was 12y o)

You and me both! Remember conversations? Those were fun.
Oh.....I SO agree !!!!! 👍
After 39 YEARS, this song is *still* bangin
Hello BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
@@rubendario6159 idiot
Right on!
This song will always be banging ✊✊
This is my favourite 😍😍😍
John you still kill me with your smile and moves, 40 years later.🥰
That little hip groove side to side at the end absolutely does me in!!!!!😍🥰😍🥰
Yes indeed. ❤️👍
This song should have been a bigger hit..it's so utterly brilliant.
Can we all appreciate the musical talent in this track??? The guitar, bass and synth are so tight.
I don't understand why this song didn't sell at the time.
For me, it is one of my favorite early numbers by Duran Duran.
There was a lot of competition. New Romantics, NWOBHM, it was all happening.
Class song one of the best
Definitely class
Classic tune
I agree. It's an excellent song.
My favorite Duran Duran song................ greetings of Peru...
From Peru too!
Perfection. Simon, Nick, Andy, Roger and John all shine in this single. It was a flop upon release, but it's become a staple in their live shows. I loved it in the 80s, and I still love it in 2020.
great rhythm!!
Seriously. Everything is just so tight. I still don't understand why it wasn't as big of a hit as it should have been.
Still my favourite Duran track after all these years.
still loved them in early 90s and still love them in friday, 21 april 2022, 5:41 am

I wish I could of met hmm and Andy! Love Duran,Duran!
Wow, they were just babies right here!
Yeah, they really were!
And so was I when I first heard them!Still listening after 40 odd years and singing along.
And,.....were liked and "followed" by a LOT of even YOUNGER "babies".....I, though MUCH OLDER NOW, was one of those "babies"..... "Once upon a time, in times LONG past...."🫤🫡😁
How time flies. This track is tight!
I wish today’s music could move me like 70s and 80s did
Musically this band was just fantastic, hugely underrated. This tune is light years ahead...quality!
Must agree...
Good song. Shows the punk/post punk roots of the band. One of their very best
I'll never get tired of this song! The whole album too.
Como se llama el Álbum.??

Duran Duran , Simply the best english band . Duran Duran no words .I Love England. I am from Brazil but England is Fantastic . I Love ,Love England.
Essa música fez sucesso no Brasil?
Been a fan of DD over 30 years. Never realized they did a video for this song.
Yes, but the song wasn't such a great hit back then as it should have been, its a great hit in their concerts I thought Simon was the most gourgous man on earth when I first seen him in 1980.
Slap me John, slap me!!! @1:00 and the shoulder shake....oh Lordy
My pretty little mouse will be the sexy pretty boy of the band... So cute!!!
He must have known about the effect XD
DURAN DURAN INDUCTED TO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME CONGRATS...........
This is a great song to listen to on headphones the way the guitar riffs and synth hooks bounce from ear to ear

What an awesome song. Duran Duran, I'm really glad you existed during my lifetime.
Gawd I haven’t seen this in decades! Always loved Simon’s hip swing dance move😛
One of the best songs in their early career.....it rocks. Lindylou.
A very underated Duran song. One of my faves even now.
One of the BEST BANDS EVER..!! Nick like a modern Mozart..!!🥳🥳🥰🥰🎶🎶🎶🙏🙏🙏
My favorite Duran Duran song
This is yet another band my older sister introduced me to..This is one of my favourite Duran Duran songs.Its a true underrated gem.
so damn beautiful, intense, pure, energic.. there will never be a wonderful time to be creative like the 80s were

it was always my favorite!
Yes!
Duran Duran 1st self-titled album is fantastic.... also Rio.
Yes both superb albums.
The albums were never again as consistent but still very good. You could probably make it four if you include the Arcadia album which is pretty much Duran. Magic was still there for the singles though all the way to the 2000's
@@garycostello2949 Nothing is like Duran Duran without John Taylor in Arcadia. And he's not.
Simon voice is the Duran Duran . The bass line is also good but Simon is a God..
When I was in the hospital waiting for surgery I kept singing in my head this exact song.
This is probably my favorite "broken heart" song ever. The lyrics are brilliant, and the desperate anger and pain is conveyed thru the music perfectly. Such a fckn awesome song. "I think I'd die, I think I'd laugh at you, I know I'd cry - what am I supposed to do - follow you?"
Their best song imo, I love the live version.
How could I have forgotten this one for so long...
Still love this song after 42 years...42 years?!!! What?!!!
I love Duran Duran. They're my childhood 😘
definitely your childhood
Mine too!
Absolute classic their best track still sounds great today
John Taylor's hair 😍 i wanted mine that colour.
I also wanted him. One of the most exquisite looking men I've ever seen!
Always loved this song, such an underrated track!! Great piece of art

Hell yeah yes indeed I love this song after so many years and I'm 51 going on strong this song is so damn good to listen to.🇦🇺
42 years after its launch, I'm here loving it as if it were a great novelty.What is good, beautiful and well made is timeless.❤
In a little over a year, this single will be 40 years old. This blows my mind.
Over 40 years later, this still sounds totally fresh. Good music is timeless 🙌🏻
BEST SONG EVER!!! Best bass!!!! Love it soooo muchhhh always
Up there with the best of any 80s indie tune this!
Awesome song. Very Ultravox-y but with that amazing DD bass!
never understood why this song was such a small hit its one of my favs
Brazil loves Duran Duran. My favorite song!!!
This song came out 4 years before I was born and I'm obsessed with it. Obsessed with DD!!!
I wish I remembered this song but I have a careless memory.
👍😅🙏
F
Three Taylors, no relation, lol. And Roger is fierce on this track. Fierce.
One of my💞 favorites for sure.🎸🎹🎤🎼📺💣
John’s so hot that he just looks even hotter with a mullet. God he’s beautiful. 💔❤️🔥
There is never a good time for a mullet. Have we learned nothing from the 80s as a society.
Agreed💕💕 Beautiful then, beautiful now.
Mr Taylor, oh my what a beautiful man 💞😘🤭
He still is, I saw them twice last year!
Always has been, always will ! “Thud!” 😍❣️
I love how John slaps that bass. So cute!
The original is always the best and Duran Duran is still rocking like the Stones and god bless CHARLIE WATTS soul!!!
Congratulations to Simon on being awarded a MBE
Such a good song, they were so young 🥰

Great Duran Duran! After 80's the music died.
