I was at a party where a beautiful girl (out of her head) danced to this. It was mamorable (to coin a new word). There is something about this song... it has a slick, underhandedness. It feels like a cheap car salesman con. Anti-salubrious, dark, seedy, sleazy. Like a humid night in downtown Roxy Musicville, Undercover of the Night stonesness. I'm drawn at times to that The The-ness, that Tarantino-Lynchiness. Even the growly vocal from LeBon that matches the güiro's rake. That's a class flourish. Then Grace Jones shows up - of course! And it's that extra ingredient to make this dish Michelin Starred. #walkonthewildside https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3Yy6c0Tlvk

I really wanted to have this song by Arcadia - Goodbye is forever.

but it's blocked.
So guess this Election Day tune of theirs is pretty appropriate for Britain right now. Pray God it's not the Tories again.

This is back from when I was SO in love with Simon LeBon. I actually liked this album as well as Power Station, the other Duran Duran side project.
"Maximum big suprise your smile is something new
I pull my shirt off and pray". The lack of any kind of shirtlessness going on at my polling station just now speaks volumes about the sad state of modern democracy...
