Duran Duran(named after a character in Roger Vadim's sci-fi classic, Barbarella) are an electronic pop-rock band that were part of the new wavemusic movement in the early 1980s. Created by Nick Rhodes(keyboards) and John Taylor(bass) in 1978, with the later addition of Roger Taylor(drums), Andy Taylor(guitar), and Simon Le Bon(lead vocals), the band have sold over 70 million records and are the most commercially successful of the new romanticbands. Their songs were cheerful, hook-laden pop that fared well on the radio, but what many remember best about Duran Duran are their iconic music videos. Though many of the videos were tongue-in-cheek, the band never quite escaped the glamorous and decadent jet set image their early videos projected. The band spent on an average more than a six figure sum (£), on first 3 albums videos (each) alone.

American Science Lyrics

Duran Duran

(lebon, rhodes, taylor)
Its a little bit late now,
But theres times you will get a little bit out of hand
Making all of a spill
And if we can lay this down youre going all the way
Take a look and Ill check it out,
Cause I can always find it
Such a lonely place... ooooh
This room without your face... ooooh
Ooooooh...american science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooooooh...its such awful manners
Dont keep me waiting come and lie beside me.
A little megalomania becomes you evidently
There aint a thing you cant acquire with your cling-wrap
Plaything just look at this state,
I crawl around in a daze, like symptomatic case of your soul persuasion
Such a lonely place... ooooh
This room without your face... ooooh
(chorus)
Ooooooh...its a little bit later now,
Theres times you will, let it all get out of hand
When you feel you feel
I just switched on the operation.
Such a lovely face... ooooh
And pulls me into place ... ooooh
(chorus) to fade
