Sri Lanka. The scenes were filmed atop the ancient rock fortress of Sigiriya, among the ruins of a Buddhist temple at Polonnaruwa and the island's southern coastline. A beautiful song, and an incredible album which included this song, Hungry Like The Wolf and Rio!
It’s hard to overstate what an impact their videos had at the time, when music videos were still brand new and most bands were just doing studio/concert videos, but DD were making gorgeous, lush, dreamy, adventurous videos like this one. They were just mind blowing the first time I saw them on MTV. Truly groundbreaking.
No doubt you are speaking truth. As a different perspective, growing up in the UK, most people only have experienced this as a song on the radio or a record they bought, with maybe a mimed performance on TOTP, and it was still impressive just from that experience..
One of the most extraordinary and beautiful songs ever written…And 40+ years later DD are still backing it up with amazing new music…Musical snobbery has no place here……DD created magic out the gate and continue to do so to this day, 2024. Let's count our blessings for being here to enjoy it.
Omg yes!! Aside from all of their spectacular talent, creativity and ambition (the music press couldnt stand them bc they were jealous), They were absolutely gorgeous!!! Just Naturally! We were all love struck! They had natural sex appeal, even for us innocent teens! They came off as fun, intelligent, worldly and just over all great guys! And seriously how many of us girls back then would never get over them!! ❤ I still love John Taylor!!😂
This is one of the most beautiful music videos ever! The video was filmed on location in Sri Lanka. If I remember well Andy, the guitarrist, got sick from the water while filming with the elephants. DD were video kings! They even made a zombie music video from their song Night Boat before Michael Jackson's Thriller. Thanks to Matt for always requesting Duran Duran!
Woohoo, another Duran Duran song. And a classic at that. Save a Prayer is such a beautiful song with Simon's amazing lyrics. This song is so beautiful live. From the first time i heard it live when I lied to my parents (1986, I was 14) and my best friend & I, along with her older sister and her boyfriend we took a 9 hour Greyhound bus ride to see them live. Would have been worth it if we'd been caught but I was in my 30s before coming clean to my mom about it, lol. And it's been great at every live show since. What can I say, I'm a Duranie for life (and I have the tattoos to prove it)
One of the best songs ever written (my opinion). Love this song! The lyrics are amazing, the instrumentation gives you an emotional feeling and you cannot but love it. This video was huge and so was this band. I used to do my very best to dress like this band in high school, as did many others. This band was such an influence. The video was shot is Sri Lanka, along with "Hungry Like the Wold". Both directed by Russel Mulcahey. The song revolves around a chance meeting between two people that flares into a one-off sexual encounter. Le Bon described the lyric as "realistic, and not romantic." Mulcahey took the lyrics and created a video that was beautiful with images, which is a contrast to the lyrics Simon wrote.
What a gorgeous couple you two are. And just think, If you were born just 60 years ago, you could have been sexy extras in this Duran Duran MTV classic. Crazy right? Lol.
Ahh, how this takes me back to when I was 14 y/o and the only person in my tiny Western Oklahoma town who was into New Wave. I still love them so much. Rock on, Kelly
I really like Matt he has you going through the best of this catalog , has a ton of facts and I know a lot about these fellas myself but Matt has me beat by a mile . Thank you Wolf Hunterz and Matt and DD !!!!
There are 3 videos of songs off of Rio that were filmed in Sri Lanka. This one, Hungry Like the Wolf and Lonely in your Nightmare. The scenery fits the songs completely. I think all three videos are exceptionally made, but between the song and video, this one is the masterpiece.
You are right about the location of the videos. And just to add, part of the Lonely In Your Nightmare video was made in London but primarily in Sri Lanka.
This entire video, Hungry Like a Wolf and Lonely In Your Nightmare were shot in Sri Lanka at the time. Boosted the tourism of the country to stratospheric levels then 😂
The video was filmed in Sri Lanka. Absolutely stunning video. Beautiful song. I’ve always loved it, since it came out. I was a teenager then. The bad things said about Duran Duran were from jealousy mostly. They were very cool and gorgeous but different and from England. Girls went wild! Guys didn’t want to look too feminine by liking them, well some felt that way. It was a different time in society.
I don't get that. I am a guy and many of us were Duran Duran fans (still am) back in the early 1980s. You were mostly either a New Waver or a Rocker during this era & many Waver's were into Duran Duran & were not hesitant to let it be known. It would be known either by wearing DD t-shirts or wearing DD buttons on your shirt or on your Levi's denim jacket(s). And if you were a "Waver" you didn't care what others thought. We expressed ourselves with our haircuts, hair-dyes and through our fashion. If there were insecure guys who liked Duran Duran, I'd say they were few of amongst the many guys who were opened to liking the band.
@@billw715 I was born in 1969. I was a new waver. I’m not sure what you are trying to explain to me? To them in general to help those who don’t know,sure. I was simply stating that some people, mainly males, didn’t like them so much. I assume because they were beautiful and it did become pop music later as well. Yes lots of guys liked them. Yes people in the alternative scenes were not following those general rules about gender.
I’m a longtime DD fan my kids even know! I’ve always told them when I pass on someday this is one of the songs I want played. No joke I want a party with all DD played.
Hey. Thanks for posting Fun fact. This video was shot in Shri Lanka. Also with Hungry alike the wolf great memories. The producers an Australia movie director Russel Mulcay said they were going for the mini movie The got to the top of the mountain by plane and Nick Rhodes the keyboardist said he would never do that again and lead singer said. Thee line we could call this paradise his fav line in song.
You are right. The Hungry Like The Wolf video was filmed in Sri Lanka along with Lonely In Your Nightmare (also filmed in London). Rio, along with Night Boat, was filmed in Antigua in the Caribbean.
Hello 👋👋👋 agai luvin you playing all these Duran Duran tracks you see what a band and true musicians 🎉🎉🎉this track is off there massive huge album Rio which they released Rio hungry like the wolf save a prayer and all the video's were shot in Sri Lanka ok and also lonely in ya nitemare ok then the chauffeur was filmed in London this Rio album by fans votes is always No1 🎉🎉🎉 the album Matt is on about is reportage and glad to hear the other day in rolling stones magazine Andy Taylor as completed is guitar 🎸🎶🎶 raps and music on is guitar 🎸🎸🎸 and Duran Duran are saying it's goin to be completed and released next year wow wow wow wow Duran Duran always likes to surprise there fans totally awesome amazing band epic brilliant totally true musicians 🎉🎉🎉 best band on planet earth 🌎🌍🌎
The guys filmed 3 videos in Sri Lanka , Hungry Like The Wolf , Save A Prayer & Lonely in Your Nightmare !! They also used to use Simon Le Bon's actual boat in 2 video's I believe , Rio and Nightboat .
They filmed several videos on location in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) including Hungry Like the Wolf and Union of the Snake. They did a spooky video to a song called Nightboat. It wasn't released as a single but they made a video for nearly every song on the album Rio. They had a DVD released with lots of videos. I don't know if Nightboat in on YT or not. Might just check that out!
It's cumin out 2025 the album reportage it was said on Thursday 21 of November 2024 by nick Rhodes live on TH-cam while all the fans were waiting for the premier of evil woman live recorded live on Halloween in new York Madison Square gardens watch the video it's fun everyone dressed up and a sold out concert once again enjoy
They dropped Simon and Nick with a helicopter on top of that mountain ...it seemed to be a very sacred place but they dind't know that at the time...from what i've read they had to get out of there very fast because the monks where very angry about that ;-)
i always said, this band are always underestimed. The sold million and millions of albums but in the 80's they are a boys band for alots of people and the people not always listening the very good music this band make . and they are good musician to . I always like the base in this band . John Taylor make very good job lol
Good to see you running through the Duran Duran back singles & l like your reactions. May l politely suggest 2 different (& better) versions of singles you've already highlighted for you to hear please. The Wild Boys' Long Arena version & 'I Don't Want Your Love' single version. I know you like the heavier & more guitar based songs. They are worthwhile,thanks. Vertigo (Do The Demolition) from the Notorious album is another worthy of your attention.
That intro is surreal sublime just ingenious music writhing only the British could hsve come up with this music. Check out another British band the stranglers (golen brown)
John is probably my favorite bass player, but I think a lot of people overlook Nick Rhode's keyboards, and how they drive a lot of their songs. I think you should listen to both Power Station (John Taylor, Andy Taylor, Robert Palmer etc.), with their sort of funky rock, and Arcadia (Simon Lebon, Nick Rhodes, and lots of guest musians), with their experimental esoteric album. Please give both bands a listen or two.
Re-making these old videos would be just like what is happening in the movie industry where every other movie is a crappy remake of a great movie from the past
It was great when it happened. However, Its getting harder and harder to see young people react to these old songs. You guys just dont see what we saw decades ago. I think that the "music video reaction" thing is almost over.
That's your own issue & your own myopic restriction, mate to say, "You guys just dont see what we saw decades ago." Of course it is if you are asking them to see it in every detail like people from that era because they weren't around decades ago; therefore, I wouldn't expect anyone being raised in their own generation to entirely see "what we saw decades ago." Why would you have this expectation of them? Let them experience what they experience as only they can by being from another generation. So stop playing Mozart's Symphony No. 40 since it was composed in the late 18th century or Beethoven's 5th Symphony since it was first played in 1808? since no one is going to have the same reaction to these works like they did over 200 years ago? And most people don't hear these works live as they were performed when originally introduced. In addition, these works played now are interpretations of the original. I grew up in the 1970s & in the 1980s. If we had the internet & TH-cam back then, I, or you, wouldn't be able to do reactions of Elvis Presley, Nina Simone, The Beatles, James Brown, Patsy Cline, The Doors, Marvin Gaye or Sly And The Family Stone & etc.? We can't listen, absorb & have our own experience with the song & artist? I can't have a reaction to one of my favorite bands, The Beatles, when I was in my youth & not of The Beatles' generation, because I will not clone my reaction to those who were fans when The Beatles were releasing their music? I appreciate The Beatles in my own way from my own experience. And I, like others, appreciate them more from my generation to this current generation, to those who are from The Beatles era because not every one was a Beatles fan. Every single person that listens to music does a reaction in their own minds. They have since music was first introduced, will do so now & into the future.
@@billw715 Its not my "own myopic" issue/restriction. The reactor thing is old as hell bro. It was a thing several years ago...no doubt....but it's certainly lost its steam. Trust me., I was HUGE into all these reaction vids 5+ years ago. The thrill is gone.
@@arwiviv You don't speak for me or for every user on TH-cam; therefore, it is your own issue & I am indifferent to what anyone does on TH-cam as long as it's harmless. In addition, whether its a thing from several years ago & has lost its steam, you are not the Omniscient one to decide for us all or for those still have currency in watching "reaction" videos to state otherwise.
@@billw715 Easy my friend...its not that serious. I was simply stating how I feel. You feel differently than I do...and I respect that. I do truly feel that musical reaction videos arent what they used to be.
Sri Lanka. The scenes were filmed atop the ancient rock fortress of Sigiriya, among the ruins of a Buddhist temple at Polonnaruwa and the island's southern coastline. A beautiful song, and an incredible album which included this song, Hungry Like The Wolf and Rio!

Not to mention their music!! Ear-gasams for days!
No doubt you are speaking truth.
As a different perspective, growing up in the UK, most people only have experienced this as a song on the radio or a record they bought, with maybe a mimed performance on TOTP, and it was still impressive just from that experience..

Been a Duran Duran fan for 42 years 52 now still love them.👌
Same here and I'm 59
Nobody talks about Nick's sick synthesizer magic....just superb!!!
John is so beautiful here, and his basslines are especially amazing in this song, proving he was more than just a pretty face.
💯
Omg yes!! Aside from all of their spectacular talent, creativity and ambition (the music press couldnt stand them bc they were jealous), They were absolutely gorgeous!!! Just Naturally!

Gorgeous song and one of my favourite videos of all time. To be able to 'travel' through this vid pre internet was amazing!
I just seen them Live for the first, tenth row, center. After about three songs the reality hit me that they are legends. Very Professional. 🤟
DD's exotic lusty charm.This video is iconic '80s masterpiece.Long way ahead of its time and 'cine-artistic'.A reason they were top!
nothing like a beautiful song talking about a one night stand...duran can make wine out of water
Woohoo, another Duran Duran song. And a classic at that. Save a Prayer is such a beautiful song with Simon's amazing lyrics. This song is so beautiful live.

A lot of sick bass lines in DD songs
Such a lush soundscape. Hard to overstate how huge DD was from 81’-85’. I was 12 when Rio came out in 82’. Great band. Groundbreaking.
Another beautiful song with a beautiful walking bass line. Filmed on location in Sri Lanka x
I grew up listening to these guys back in the 80, MTV days 🎸🎸🎤🥁🔥🔥🔥
Ahh, how this takes me back to when I was 14 y/o and the only person in my tiny Western Oklahoma town who was into New Wave. I still love them so much. Rock on, Kelly
Awesome DD song with that killer John Taylor bassline!!
I really like Matt he has you going through the best of this catalog , has a ton of facts and I know a lot about these fellas myself but Matt has me beat by a mile . Thank you Wolf Hunterz and Matt and DD !!!!
Bought the Rio album in 1982on LP vynal played it constantly this song always stood out one off my favourites .👌
Esta cansion y video deberia ser himno dela humanidad bella cancion y el video bello gravado sri lanka excelente chicos bella reacion👍👍👍

This is absolutely awesome! Great song!

Gotta ♥ early 80s new wave pop!
Played this song over and over again back in '83. Beatiful song guys! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Rio Album was the 💣💣💣💣. Do The Chauffeur from this album, incredible!!!!!
if you like Duran Duran, you should listen to Dance Macabre, the title song from their halloween album released this fall.
My favorite song from DD. Wild Boys is a close second. The building you were wondering about is Sigriya, an ancient fortress on Sri Lanka.
Hey. Thanks for posting
Fun fact. This video was shot in Shri Lanka. Also with Hungry alike the wolf great memories. The producers an Australia movie director Russel Mulcay said they were going for the mini movie

and this, my friends, is why being a teen in the 80s was all that!
Duran Duran forever!!!Love from Athens❤
The best video/song combo ever.
This video, was filmed among ancient ruins in Sri Lanka I believe. Rio and Hungry Like A Wolf were both filmed there as well
You are right. The Hungry Like The Wolf video was filmed in Sri Lanka along with Lonely In Your Nightmare (also filmed in London). Rio, along with Night Boat, was filmed in Antigua in the Caribbean.

Me suscribo al canal porqué ella es hermosa y me encantan sus reacciones..
GREAT Breakdown, Matt!!! he's not wrong about how big they were!!!
Imagine being a 14 years old freshman in high school, in Louisville, and seeing this. Life changing.
S drink as you must be...say a prayer was a time we loved durran durran.
They dropped Simon and Nick with a helicopter on top of that mountain ...it seemed to be a very sacred place but they dind't know that at the time...from what i've read they had to get out of there very fast because the monks where very angry about that ;-)
No video today can come close to their 80's(and 90''s) gems, so no thanks...I'll keep the classics.
Damn i miss the 80‘s…..
Michael Jackson and Duran Duran turned music videos into mini movies.
i always said, this band are always underestimed. The sold million and millions of albums but in the 80's they are a boys band for alots of people and the people not always listening the very good music this band make . and they are good musician to . I always like the base in this band . John Taylor make very good job lol
The first time it was released it reached the Philippines immediately and we feel like cool teenagers everytime we play this in our cars.
Beautiful 80s song. Suzi, you've lost weight, you're in perfect shape. You are beautiful, you are both beautiful
This video was done in Sri Lanka!
Good to see you running through the Duran Duran back singles & l like your reactions.

Best song+Best video: WHAT ELSE!?❤❤❤❤❤❤
This video was shot in Sri Lanka.
That is the Sigiriya Fortress in Sri Lanka-one of the most breathtaking sights in the world.
THE ALBUM FROM 2005 CALLED REPORTAGE AND THE PLACE FROM SAVE A PRAYER IS CAYLANE
Caylane? Where is this?
Have you listened to “The Chauffeur “? it’s one of my favorites and was also covered by the Deftones which is fire as well
You cant better this track with a remaster... They already masters yall!
From "Arena", the greatest version of save a player ever.
They have released two new albums in the last two years. Future Past and this past October Danse Mcabre. Great video on Future Past is Anniversary
Love the content guy,s give Peter Kay on shoval guitar ago ❤
I USED TO LISTEN TO (SAVE A PRAYER) WHEN I WAS 25. AM NOW 75
I THINK THAT THIS SONG BY (DD) IS MAGNIFICENT. A MASTERPIECE
The ancient rock fortress of Sigiriya is what you saw on top of the cliff . Some people actually say these video's inspired them to travel the world .
That intro is surreal sublime just ingenious music writhing only the British could hsve come up with this music. Check out another British band the stranglers (golen brown)
John is probably my favorite bass player, but I think a lot of people overlook Nick Rhode's keyboards, and how they drive a lot of their songs.
I think you should listen to both Power Station (John Taylor, Andy Taylor, Robert Palmer etc.), with their sort of funky rock, and Arcadia (Simon Lebon, Nick Rhodes, and lots of guest musians), with their experimental esoteric album. Please give both bands a listen or two.
Hear this song in the Dawn 👍
This song screams balmy, tropical holiday!
Big Wreck- Ghosts . Live at Suhr factory party 2015. You’ll likey.
I just read that back and if y'all miss that funny bit, it's more funny. HI AL GORE RHYTHMS!
Re-making these old videos would be just like what is happening in the movie industry where every other movie is a crappy remake of a great movie from the past
Play this song in any romantic situation. No Step 2, that is it, lol
Jesus, vid actually starts at 2:24
Wow, I'd like to see just like paradise by David Lee roth
sri lanka....helicopter...duran was well known for their videos...watch 'rio' by them
Indonesia
You should do a reaction to COMING ON STRONG by Broken English, it's a great kickass 80's tune!
catchie evergreen.
This song reminds me of being a 10 year old in love with Zena Wetheral and pining over her all summer! LOL 🤣
Recomend this version music
The Eagles Of Death Metal - Save A Prayer (Duran Duran Cover)
Is THAILAND the location
Requesting helix heavy metal love
Power Of Love by Frankie Goes To Hollywood?
You're watching a music video that was all there was at that point. Why would you need to disclose that.
Culture Club?
Why would you want to re-make these old videos when they were so great?
A great song about a one night stand and oral sex.
It was great when it happened. However, Its getting harder and harder to see young people react to these old songs. You guys just dont see what we saw decades ago.
