When they hit the charts their look and style was just about
everything, I hated in the music world but listening to their music over the years,
I have come to appreciate some of their music. One of their songs is ‘Girls on
Film’ and some of their videos are just jammed pack with the female of the species.
It’s Duran Duran whom I am talking about and one music video
in particular Girl Panic and the songs not bad either. Advertised in 2011 as the
return of the 'Supers' - Naomi Campbell (as lead singer Simon Le Bon), Helena
Christensen (Roger Taylor), Eva Herzigova (Nick Rhodes), Cindy Crawford (John
Taylor) and a nine and a half minute video of puff of fluff, sparkles,
lipstick, leather and legs. All told enough to get anyone hot under the collar.
In the video, the supers perform and lip sync the song Girl
Panic! While the band interview them, it is all a bit baffling but they is
plenty on view throughout the video. The band have built a reputation with
their music videos you expect high production qualities and they rarely disappoint.
So the plot, such as it is, sees the supers as the band walk
up in a fancy hotel surrounded by some real hot chicks, and I mean hot. The ladies
then prance around London, pose for a photoshoot, roll in luxury cars, all set
to a really good song and partying the music stops for interview-the-band time
but it still roll along. A band of skinnier, young anonymous models plays
everyone else from the fans, the paparazzi, the groupies.
It is one hell of a video even if it is near ten minutes long.
