Poll question: Admit it! Duran Duran were better that The Police!
Admit it. You secretly love Duran Duran, don't you? Oh, you may pretend you prefer the Police, because that's a safe, respectable choice that the music snobs like, but back in your room, you're secretly grooving to 'The Reflex'. I know you are. I know it!

1. W00T!!
You gone too far this time
But I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around -
With my chances on the dangerline
I'll cross that bridge when I find it
Another day to make my stand, oh..
High time is no time for deciding
If I should find a helping hand, oh..

So why don't you use it
Try not to bruse it
Buy time don't lose it

The reflex is an only child, he's waiting in the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a
question mark

:bounce: :bounce:

Absolute dreck. I despise Sting like no other.

29. Who knows?
Or cares for that matter? The guys looked hot in the video, that's all that counts. ;-)

Union of the Snake
(duran duran)

Telegram force and ready
I knew this was a big mistake.
There's a fine line drawing my senses together,
And I think it's about to break.

If I listen close I can hear them singers, oh oh oh...
Voices in your body coming through on the radio,ho,ho...

The union of the snake is on the climb..
Moving up, it's gonna race, it's gonna break through the, borderline


Nightshades on a warning
Give me strength at least give me a light.
Give me anything even sympathy
There's a chance you could be right.

(chorus) (chorus pt2)

(chorus)

The union of the snake is on the climb..
It's gonna race it's gonna break -
Gonna move up to the borderline..

The union of the snake is on the climb..
Moving up it's gonna race, it's gonna break through the borderline.

The union of the snake is on the climb
It's gonna race it's gonna break -
Gonna move up to the borderline..

32. That's it.
My editorial is about "women in the industry." I need to find a way to slip in the phrase "Girls On Film."

34. I admit it
Mind you, just about anything's better than The Police. On the other hand just about anything's better than Duran Duran. Between them they contain much of the rot that made 80's music the appalling garbage it was.

36. Even the thought is pure torture
Duran Duran. Ouch, see? Even the name is painful. And for pop I always was partial to INXS anyway.
