Jul 6, 2008 - Does anyone know what 'Duran Duran' means? Why did they name the band Duran Duran? It's a cool name. I'm wondering about the meaning. Anyone know? Thanks!

Jul 6, 2008 - Duran Duran is from the movie Barbarella,however the term Duran Duran comes from an old French word Duran Durance meaning French Army

Jul 6, 2008 - There's just something about Nick with dark hair..YUM!
sassyshannen Says:
Jul 6, 2008 - I totally agree! He looks sooo sexy with dark hair.

Jul 6, 2008 - DAYAM! Simon looks so hot in this video! I love all the Arcadia stuff (I wish they had done a video for all the songs on the album). I don't like Nick's hair in this (black hair doesn't look good on him). I was so happy when he bleached it back out ^_^ Actually, I think he looks best with auburn hair, but that's JMHO :3Thanks for posting this (it's on my playlist)MeOw!

Jul 6, 2008 - I'll try to help you out with one song: according to an interview with Simon, "Planet Earth" is about the constant threat of nuclear war that seems to go unnoticed.

Jul 6, 2008 - @ultrachrome - yes, i do remember the riddles on the record sleeve. it took me forever to figure it out, but then once i did, it seemed soooo obvious and i felt dumb that it took me so long, but it was still fun! and i still have the album actually. brilliant record all around!

Jul 6, 2008 - This is my favorite song of everything Duran or Power Station or Arcadia has ever done. It's so smooth. And the end always leaves me wanting more.

Jul 6, 2008 - Simon's Dancing = Priceless lolI love this. I never thought I'd like Arcadia before I listened to it, I was more of a Power Station gal. But man, this stuff is boss. I'd have to say second under DD.
MadOnLiving Says:
Jul 6, 2008 - Duran Duran /Arcadia - PURE CLASSIC MUSIC. DD are the best band live in concert!!! If you get the chance to see them in concert go. I have seen them lots of times - most recently last year in Dublin. They still sound AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
