    Girls on Film

    It's my favorite Duran Duran song.
    What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

    It was one of my favorite videos as a teen.

      I think I like The Chauffeur the best but GOF is a really great song.

      I've seen them live maybe 3 times and every time they play the unedited version of their videos at some point in the show. I will probably see them live again at some point....

        Duran Duran is not too bad. Back in the day I didn't like them because they didn't "rock," but they are quite good at what they do. The same goes for the Pet Shop Boys and some of those other neo-romantic synth bands.

        I like Ordinary World and The Union of the Snake well enough.

          It's a tough time for some girls on film.

            Rio and the aforementioned Ordinary World demand a recount!

                have you seen the unedited version of Girls on Film?

                I still distinctly remember two women and a gigantic lathered candy cane.

                  I don't remember that video.

                    The Chauffeur is my favorite DD song.

                    My sister (7 years older than me) had an unedited version of the DD videos on VHS. I used to watch them when she wasn't home. She had her bedroom basically wallpapered with posters of Simon Le Bon.

                    I saw them at Park West (when it was Park West) probably about 15 years ago. May have been longer than that.

                          Wait....you'll watch the unedited Duran Duran videos, but you won't watch The Wire?

                          The Chauffeur is my favorite Duran Duran song, with Anyone Out There a close second.

                            I leave my seat and wait on the arena concourse until the videos are over.
