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.

Big Thing Lyrics

Duran Duran

(lebon, rhodes, taylor)
Get it up, get it out, get it in time,
Hang it up, hanging out, hanging on a big thing.
Move it in, move it out, move up the line
Bang it up, bang it out, banging on a big thing.
Brothers and sisters let me hear it..
(get it up, get it on, get it in time)
Give me the green light and watch me move it..
(move it up, move it out, move up the line)
This is temptation - power rotation
Give me the friction and watch me make it..
(make it up, making out, making it slide)
So glad you came along
This time you wont be wrong
You love to turn it on
And youre not the only one
(chorus)
Brothers and sisters we can take it
(shake it up, shake it out, shake it all the time)
Give me the suction we can stick it
(lick it up, suck it up, stick it outside)
This is temptation (station) power rotation (to station)
Give me the playlist and watch me eat it
(eat it up, beat it up, beat it in time)
So glad you came along
This time you wont be wrong
You love to turn it on
And youre not the only one
(chorus)
So glad you came along
This time you wont be wrong
You love to turn it on
And youre not the only one
(chorus)
(chorus)
