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.

Love Voodoo Lyrics

Duran Duran

When I first met you on the roof,
You cought me in your web of youth,
But now I know the wicked truth,
Its much to late so whats the use in fighting?
You peel me like an onion skin,
And wonder at the state Im in,
One day youll turn up to begin,
And find theres nothing left but innuendo.. (innuendo)
Beside you others fade away,
Like amateurs in loves charade,
Much more than just a game you play,
The secertain rules become a way of living.. (way of living)
Night after night I try to prove
That I can resist you
Tied up inside your love voodoo
Designed to manipulate
The queen of sensuality,
You shelter me from liberty,
Its nothing short of piracy,
Thats not to say it doesnt please me sometimes.
Now this may come as no surprise,
But Im content to compromise,
Until the day you realize,
That I have been manipulating you.. (no surprise, no surprise)
(man-ipu-lat-ing)
(chorus)
-
(chorus) (chorus) (chorus)
(yes, Im tied up inside your loving
But its voodoo to me
Everynight how I try
How I try to resist you
But its no good to me)
(chorus) (chorus)
