Every voting day I think of this song, even though I have no idea what the song really means or even if it has to do with voting at all. Anyway, just thought I would highlight this song in celebration of today. A nice neon lit flashy 80's distraction on a day destined for a lot of serious issues. As I recently heard somewhere there's no pressure today, we're just selecting the leader of the Free World :)
This song was a hit, a Top 10 hit even, but it was mainly because of the momentum of Duran Duran's career. So I didn't hear the song on the radio much myself, but the hook stuck in my head forever.
I can't figure out the meaning of a lot of Duran Duran songs. Like I love The Reflex, I just don't know which reflex he's singing about or why it's a lonely child waiting in the park...or is that dark? Maybe Simon Le Bon will be the Riddler in the next Batman movie!
Never heard this song LOL
ReplyDelete"Pull my shirt off and pray we're coming up on re-election day." What the heck does that supposed to mean? ROFL!
ReplyDeleteWell, it has been pretty tense lately. Is that what it supposed to mean? I really have no clue. I always thought this song was a bit strange.
