Rock out with your cock out! 10-15-2010

RioToday I'm rolling back to the 80s and the age of New Wave. One of the bands spawned in the chaos was Duran Duran.

Could they really have a rockin' song?

Sure.

RIO

Yup. Listen to the bass line and the drums. Put a better distortion on the guitars and a less feminine sounding singer and you can kick ASS on stage with this tune!

Have a listen, see for yourself:

Rio
Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right you catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV
Two of a billion stars it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

Hey now woo look at that did she nearly run you down
At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive
You make me feel alive, alive alive
I'll take my chance cause luck is on my side or something
I know what you're thinking I tell you something I know what you're thinking

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twists across a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grand
Her name is Rio she don't need to understand
And I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande

I HATED "Double-Duran" back in the day.

Nowdays, I can tolerate some of that stuff.

I hated Duran Duran during the 80s but in the 90s I went back to listening to everything and found that RIO had a really cool drum line, so I really changed my opinion as a result.

I tend to not hate a lot of 80s stuff anymore.
