Duran Duran - Evil Woman (Official Lyric Video)

[@YukeWeiss]

This is not a cover I anticipated, but this will be in heavy rotation forever. I adore ELO and Duran Duran.

[@videobenny3]

Two Birmingham bands!

[@aldocelotto3678]

Great!!!!!❤

Same here!

[@avanoosterhout8397]

@@videobenny3 Didn't know Duran Duran were from Birmingham too. It makes sense they chose an Jeff Lynne song to cover.

[@stephenjones1861]

Love both bands from my hometown but this isn’t great, 80’s style ‘disco mix’ of a classic. Could be worse but could certainly be better

[@bornflippy1]

Simons voice just ages like a fine wine. Duran Duran has been consistently great since the 80's. One of the best bands ever imo

[@darren2427]

It's ELO, But at least it's a shameless copy, exactly the same to the point of having the ELO flying saucer whizzing around the video...

[@kyachdistent1301]

Utterly agreed, and they continue to prove it, unlike many overrated acts.

My opinion as well!

An iconic 80s band covering an awesome song from an iconic 70s band in 2024? I wasn't expecting it, but i like it.

[@sylvesterquast9906]

It's people like you who could use a dictionary "Iconic" is an overused and abused participation trophy word. P.s.. Duran Duran should quit 15 years ago They are really a shit band now 😢

I hope they remake all their 80s hits in Atmos. New versions I mean.

[@alexisdowers2030]

Yep

[@gingersnap-xe8jt]

This is the perfect comment for Duran

[@mitch7951]

For all the detractors out there, this great cover will lead a whole new group of listeners and fans to ELO. Nothing beats the original, but I love this version. Definitely a dance floor banger!

[@telephonepole8366]

As controversial as it sounds I really like this version over the Original.

[@sharpvidtube]

@@telephonepole8366 I'm the opposite, much prefer the original. Wish Duran Duran had gone crazy with it, sounds too similar, but the original has much more energy.

[@joedirt4347]

Very true love Old music like ELO, never been a fan of Duran Duran since I was more into heavy metal in the 80s but this is very nice 👍🏼

[@paulhanson001]

I can die happy. Duran Duran cover ELO. Fantastic.

[@opwave79]

Right? ELO was my favorite band of the late 70s and Duran Duran my favorite from the 80s. This song is my youth!

[@samallen9339]

I don't think Simon le Bon has ever sounded so good. He sings beautifully on this.

[@najibkhan7299]

I love ELO, & I always appriciated Duran Duran....but I never saw this one coming. I'm both surprised & and impressed! The boys in Duran really pulled it off. I love it!

[@corin6677]

Both great bands both from Birmingham

[@cksmith9968]

I do too! Excellent

[@SilverArtemis]

I am amazed at the quality of his voice. Simon has an immortality regarding his voice, it's so young and vibrant. Unusual as one gets older. Amazing.

[@stevestachini7466]

Auto tune I guess

[@sevbaileyify]

Auto tune would not solve a tired old voice. It would still be a tired old voice, but in tune.

[@carryjgful]

It is sublime. Ive noticed lately many bands from from the 80s era whose singers' voices are clear & strong still. Either they didnt abuse drugs & alcohol heavy or they got a long break by not performing a decade or more. Saw Depeche Mode last year & it was heady & incredible. David Gahan had the same tone and energy & managed all his notes. So blessed to have seen them. Way worth the expensive nosebleed seats too

[@SilverArtemis]

@carryjgful you're right David Gahan is awesome too!

[@SilverArtemis]

I actually think it's his signature voice is naturally boyish...kind of choir boy. I'm pretty sure it's not auto tune. Just reverb.

[@Newwaverose]

Finally a cover that works in Duran Duran's style! Also a music video that isn't AI, thank goodness!

[@gitos67]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKndYneri8aFqJo not so sure this is Duran's style, if I think to Save a Prayer, New Moon on Monday, The Chaffeur, Rio, ...

[@kimbatts]

This is one of my favorite ELO songs. I am blown away by Duran Duran's cover of it! Duran Duran is/always has been an amazingly talented and versatile band. Always full of surprises! Love you guys!!!

[@Aramanth]

Duran Duran take a retro song and somehow make it _more_ retro! Brill!

[@kathyhendrickson2689]

Duran Duran does it again! Simon Le Bon's voice is amazing!

[@Kinesiology411]

Simon's voice is ageless, which takes daily work and discipline. Well done, LeBon. Many singers start to lose strength, clarity and range by middle age and it's avoidable. This is also a terrific cover of a song pretty much everyone knows and loves. This is equally at home in the 70s, 80s and today. Mad lads we love to the end.

[@reneemanzoor746]

To all the DURANIES! Hail with me if you are one! Been there since 1983 with these icons. Grew up listening to them. Got my little sibling, parents, cousins, AND even old grandma into it too! As good as drugs.

I mean this from the bottom of my heart but this cover is STELLAR! I really love what they did with a fantastic classic!!!! They made it their own and their take on it must be played on the radio for the world to appreciate!!!! I cannot say enough awesome things about this!!!

[@ianpounder2955]

Couldn't agree more. This needs concerted air play as this deserves to be absolutely massive! Faithful to the original but still enough originality to make the track completely fresh and current. Really hope to see the guys incorporate this into their live sets regardless of whether it's Halloween season. It could easily take the place of 'White lines' (not that it's a bad track live) which deserves to be rested for a time to make way for this masterpiece!

[@FFab-DD68]

This song should be a smash hit on all global song charts.

[@haki5672]

[@VampFaye]

I was 7 years old when Evil Woman came out. It was one of the first rock songs that I ever discovered in my own and still evokes feelings from the past. My father was a strict man who forbade me from listening to rock music at all. Little did he know that my cousin was introducing me to a whole new world of sounds and beats. The man was absolutely livid when he realized that I was no longer interested in Disney soundtracks (the only musical items that I was allowed to listen to) and was growing up. A mere 2 years later, a group of mates from Birmingham decided to start a little band, which became the phenomenon we know as Duran Duran. No one imagined they'd still be making music over 40 years later. The real fans never doubted they'd/ still be around, and I'm so happy that they are. Music can soothe a savage soul. It can calm nerves and help heal damage that comes from our past. Never forget the power of it!

[@RicoGrande-qv4ex]

I own the original ELO song and the original is better in my opinion. There is no substitute for the piano and original guitar riffs. Though I do like this cover which sounds more like a club version in its own way, the original is still the best.
