Duran Duran made MTV in 1980`s, they was like alliens in the eyes of their fans and all of others, literally.Super channel, I can say and I remember, was maybe only music channel with non-stop program and the most powerful and popular New Romantics movement of this age of fashion, music, visions and pop-art generally. And the video is awesome, with all that most-excellent Sri Lanka jungle!ĭuran Duran was the first music band with complete style, good looking members, literally like top male fashion models, but the most important POINT is, was and so still is, so too alive the same powerful and so unique original energy on the last like 14th studio album of them, titled "Paper Gods" and published in september of 2015. The long version is by far the only version that should be played. On the legendary album "Rio" published in 1982 and then again on the live concert`s and video compilation "Arena", published in 1985. You know, this song is awesome when it hits the top billboard charts twice.

This turned out to be the elephant's mating call, leading the elephant carrying Roger Taylor to charge downhill in order to mount the female. The latter pair had zero time after completing the record to change clothes before catching their flight, and Rhodes had to wear the same leather jacket and trousers he had been wearing in the cold of London.ĭuring the filming of the scene where the band were riding elephants, a female elephant made a bizarre sound. Simon Le Bon and Roger and John Taylor travelled to the location, while Andy Taylor and Nick Rhodes stayed in London finishing mixes for the Rio album. The video shoot was a difficult experience for the band. The video was a nightmare to film for various reasons.Scenes were also filmed on top of the ancient rock fortress of Sigiriya, at the ruins of a Buddhist temple at Polonnaruwa, and the island's southern coastline. It was filmed in the jungles, beaches, and temples of Sri Lanka in April 1982.
