Duran Duran - Skin Trade (Official Music Video)

My son is 16 years old and I took the responsability to also teach him about good music. When I introduced him to Duran Duran he got captured by this song. This is his Duran Duran's favorite song!

The DJ spun the record and played the video on a huge screen along one of the walls of the club. It was fucking magical, all the hot Italian girls squealing with delight as it played.

[@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary]

Duran Duran hit so big and hard back in the early 80s that you couldn't go anyplace without hearing something about them.. I liked them a lot but we were so oversaturated with them within a couple of years that I think people needed a break, I know I did.. I think that's why really good songs like this went largely ignored by so many.. This was underlined by the fact that there were so many other awesome artists and bands out during that time.. The 80s, as even young people are appreciating now, was a stellar time for future classic music and movies

Agreed, I could take or leave them in the early 80s but then they started coming out with brilliant stuff like this, and then later Ordinary World and Come Undone. They're a class act.
