There is nobody in the band with the
name Duran, but they're a good band.
Girls on film and Rio are some kick ass
tunes..

...and let's not forget Hungry Like The Wolf. That was one of the coolest songs from the 80's!

They got their name from the 1968 Jane Fonda film, "Barbarella", named after the villian in the film, Dr. Durand Durand.

Jane Fonda was smokin hot in the opening sequence to Barbarella. When Kylie Minogue recreated the famous scene she was also smokin hot but nobody tops Jane Fonda.

Lol, i posted that as a joke. It was a Mike Myers sketch called 'Coffee Talk' with Linda Richman. That was one of my favorite Saturday Night Live skits, but it's good to know that people really do appreciate the music of Duran Duran.

I like Save a Prayer, I saw them in concert years ago with The Cranberries as the opener :smile:
