Song of the Day - Hungry Like the Wolf

Remember music videos? Whatever happened to them? Now MTV is loaded with The Real World, or Road Rules or My Super Sweet Sixteen (Have you ever seen that show? It's absolutely horrifying!) or The Hills (ditto on the horrifying...). MTV may have pioneered the music video revolution--once upon a time, but it was Duran Duran who made it an art form.

The 80s New Wave faves are back on tour--and it's not going so well. Apparently, bassist John Taylor stormed off stage and singer Simon Le Bon forgot the lyrics to Hungry Like the Wolf. Mon Dieu! Not Hungry Like the Wolf! That's probably one of my favorite Duran Duran songs, and the video for it was as steamy as its lyrics:

Straddle the line
in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt,
I'm after you.
Mouth is alive
with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf.

The video is for your enjoyment. The lyrics so Simon can study up for the next performance...



Hungry Like the Wolf

Dark in the city
night is a wire
Steam in the subway
earth is afire
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doodoo doodoo doodoo

Woman you want me
give me a sign
And catch my breathing
even closer behind
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doodoo doodoo doodoo

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt
I'm after you
Smell like I sound
I'm lost in a crowd
and I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line
in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Mouth is alive
with juices like wine
and I'm hungry like the wolf

Stalked in the forest
too close to hide
I'll be upon you
by the moonlight side
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doodoo doodoo doodoo

High blood drumming on your skin
it's so tight
You feel my heart
I'm just a moment behind
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doodoo doodoo doodoo

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt
I'm after you
Scent and a sound
I'm lost and I'm found
and I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line
it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine
I'm after you
Mouth is alive
all running inside
and I'm hungry like the wolf

Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground
I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt
I'm after you...
I smell like I sound
I'm lost and I'm found
and I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line
it's discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt
I'm after you
Mouth is alive
with juices like wine
and I'm hungry like the wolf
