Oh my.

When my friend John forwards a video link, it's guaranteed to be blog-worthy, ESPECIALLY when it's Duran-related. So you can imagine my excitement when I get an email titled, "Best...Video...EVER!!!". And I think it is.

Enjoy some sort of crazy mid-80's dance show madness with Duranies. No Duran themselves, but the mulletude and tragic dance line is SO worth it.

You spoiled the game.

I've neglected you! Actually, my absence has more to do with some very cool stuff happening on the "Glue" and other SVM-related front, but I'll get to that soon!

For now, enjoy what might not be the rarest, but is the surest to give you the warm fuzzies inside, sent to me by a friend earlier in the week. At about 2:50 in, Simon does some sort of Elvis leg shake that I should probably prepare you for (whether you swoon or laugh over it). Oh, and shirtless tiny Andy rocking out? You complete me.



Oh, and if you still have time after that clip, you can mock my goofy submission for the OnlineMusicFame.com, "Why Should I Be a Rockstar or something" contest. Check it out (I worked in a few "Glue" mentions, just cuz I could)!

Baby Duran!

Awwww, I love this one! Here's some students from Heritage Regional High School's lip sync rendition of "Hungry Like the Wolf".

Unfortunately, this also reminds me of my friends and I auditioning in 5th grade for our grade school talent show, lip syncing "The Reflex". Notice I said auditioning, not performing, because WE DIDN'T MAKE IT. How heartless do you have to be to not let 5th graders lip sync, even if it's bad?

It should be noted that a group got in that lip synced Alabama's "Roll On". I would still be pissy over it, but one member of that group of 4th graders is now my brother-in-law.

But seriously...Alabama? And not Duran Duran? In 1985?? Clearly our school system needed help.

Sting? Takes himself too seriously? Next you'll say Bono has a god complex.

Here's a little "Big Thing"-era clip (my favorite era, for those of you playing the home game) featuring Simon's description of This is Spinal Tap, John being spacey (but oh so cute), and some inside joke about UB40 that we don't get.
