[@teresaspencer5372]

God! I miss the 80’s sooo much!!! When MTV was in fact a video station that celebrated music. Not the reality trash that they show now!! Shame on you MTV!!!!!!

[@BnaBreaker]

As I type this comment it's now forty years on... New Years Day 2024 and Duran Duran are still going strong... just came out with a brilliant new album and toured the globe! Legends!

[@rainbown20091]

Awesome song ,long live to 80's ..and it's so beautiful to see Duran Duran having fun with Franky !

[@yvonnemulder9038]

Yes

[@ColumbiaRinex]

Everybody wasn't prepared for the impact that this song would be for the late 80's. We ALL went bizzark!!!! MTV blew up with this hit!!!!!!

[@Carlos-du4jy]

Duran Duran getting down with Frankie Goes to Hollywood ! AWESOME

[@griff311]

Duran did a mix of Wild Boys and Relax on their Diamond in the Mind concert video. It’s amazing!

[@tomsom3219]

Very icônico!

[@karenward267]

What a great time to be alive. This was the anthem of my early adulthood. Even now, I have to get up and dance. Thank you Holly and Paul.

[@rainbown20091]

Agree with you 100%!!!

Isn't it great?

Loved this song in Body Double 1984 and I was 5 in 1985 when I did a break dance to this song at my friend's Bar Mitzvah in Long Island.This song is so great and addictive. Loved being a kid in the 80s.

When music had a pulse

[@michaelangelo6378]

I was 20 and not a care in the world. We dressed up to dance and partied all the time. Music sent a chill down your spine in the 80s. Now 2020 is coming to an end, my son is 24 and life has sucked since his mom passed from ovarian cancer in 2014. Music sucks, but he loves the old stuff. No more dressing up to dance or party and we keep our faces covered and distance from each other.

I was just reading Holly Johnson’s description of this performance in his autobiography “A Bone in my Flute “. Apparently he was off his head and at one point asked the audience if anyone there had ever “made it with Ronnie”. Great clip, thanks for uploading!
