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 (Â£), on first 3 albums videos (each) alone.

Get It On Lyrics

Duran Duran

Well you're dirty and sweet
Clad in black,
Don't look back,
And i love you,
You're dirty and sweet oh yeah
Well you're slim and you're weak
You got the teeth
Of the hydra upon you
You're dirty sweet
And you're my girl

Get it on..
Bang a gong.. get it on
Get it on..
Bang a gong.. get it on

You're built like a car
You got a hubcap diamond star halo
You're built like a truck, oh my
You're an untamed youth
That's the truth
With your cloak full of eagles
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl

(chorus)

Well you're windy and wild
You got the blues -
I'm in your shoes and your stockings
You're windy and wild, oh yeah

You're built like a car
You got a hubcap -
Diamond star halo
You're dirty sweet
And you're my girl

(chorus)

Get it on!

Get it on!..

Bang a gong!..

(chorus)
