I wonder how the new DD video will look like? Anyone has any wild ideas?

I was deeply disappointed with videos from Astronaut (Sunrise, WHT), severe lack of imagination & ordinary i felt

I don't think Simon's body would take the pressure of a windmill dumping him under water these days [;)]

As long as the video doesn't feature dancers, I don't really mind.

(what is it with all the music video's these days just being people dancing.. f**k-me it is boring)

TM, how abt ppl dancing semi-nude ala Wildboys. Will that excite u? LOL

Will DD be daring enough to pull off another GOF? hahaha

DURAN DURAN GET SEXY IN NEW VIDEO WITH TOPLESS MODELS

DURAN DURAN are set to stun fans with an X-rated new video which will remind many of their explicit, canned GIRLS ON FILM promo. The British pop group teamed up with Justin Timberlake for the track Falling Down, and decided to put the SexyBack into the video by hiring a group of topless models for the shoot. The song features Le Bon in rehab, surrounded by nearly naked stunners, while his bandmates play doctors, according to British music paper NME. Le Bon explains, "The concept of models in rehab has so much to do with what the song's about. It's very sad but there's a kind of beauty in it as well. "The song is about arrogance and pride, as well as personal breakdowns and the hope for redemption and the resilience of the human spirit."

Well I guess they're gonna need those naked girls to sell any copies of that god-awful song...

Nite Runner ftw!

Well.. I'll hand it to DD.. they are sticking to everything that seems to be a pre-requisite for a top 10 kiddie-hit these days:

Timbaland
Timberlake
Tits

Lets call it the 'Three-T's' rule of hit production.

hmmm i thought if nudity was shown, its gonna be banned from videoplay on MTV or whichever kiddies stations. wouldn't that be detrimental to the band in terms of exposure?

or are we looking at another Frankie Relax situation where the ban spurred the sales?

A lack of EXPOSURE doesn't seem to be the problem here.
