Musical Monday with Duran Duran

I loved Duran Duran's music as a kid. I loved them as recently as 1993 with "The Wedding Album"... and then I lost touch.

I recently became aware that they are still making music, all these years later. But do they still have it? Can they still channel that magic?

Yes. Yes, they can. Today's offering is both one of the funkiest songs ever delivered by Duran Duran. And it's supported by a fabulous music video that's guaranteed to help stir the Halloween Spirit!

Musical Monday: The Chauffeur & Duran Duran

"The Chauffeur" is a song off Duran Duran's second album, "Rio." As far as I know, it never climbed any charts, but it is nonetheless a song that's reportedly near and dear to Simon LeBon's heart. It's also a song with a weird video. It's a moody bit of black-and-white film work that has just enough boobage and sexuality to earn itself an R-rating (if such things were applied to music videos).



Yes, Ian Emes directed an extremely interesting and engaging music video. But what does it mean? Your guess is as good as mine. Feel free to offer some in the comments section to this most!
