Le Bon should be congratulated here, because even though I have no concept of what this line means, I can definitively say that it is creepy.
#DURAN DURAN HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF LYRICS SKIN#
If someone was following you, what would happen first? Would you "catch (his) breathing" or "feel (his) heat"? And would those two things happen like two verses apart?Īnd, "high blood drumming on your skin it's so tight"? Huh? I think maybe it's actually "High blood / drumming on your skin, it's so tight." In which case, whaaa? Actually, maybe Mr. High blood drumming on your skin it's so tight / You feel my heat I'm just a moment behind

Each one could also be adapted as a children's book and an erotic science fiction movie. Hey, why didn't Duran Duran turn this song into a whole series? They could've done "Angry Like the Goat," "Sleepy Like the Bear (In Winter)," "Sticky Like the Anteater," "Endangered Like the Panda," "Amphibious Like the Frog".

Is anyone else getting hungry? I'm kind of hungry. Unless we were in the forest the whole time and he just happened to mention that it was dark in the city, as a kind of non sequitur. "The moonlight side"? What does that mean? And when did we get into this forest? In the first line we were in a city. Stalk through the forest, too close to hide / I'll be upon you by the moonlight side Mouth is alive with juices like wine / And I'm hungry like the wolf I think maybe Simon Le Bon is so hungry that he's become delirious. Straddle the line in discord and rhyme / I'm on the hunt I'm after you And the following line, "I'm lost in a crowd," doesn't help much either. How can a thing or a person smell like he/she/it sounds? I don't think it's possible for a sound to smell like anything. It could be "smell like a sound," but that doesn't really make much sense either. "Smell like I sound"? I don't get that line. Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd / And I'm hungry like the wolf

In touch with the ground / I'm on the hunt, I'm after you Is this just completely wrong or am I missing something here? Lightfoot myself, I cued up the song, in which he does no "do do do"-ing whatsoever, unless I'm listening to some sort of abbreviated version or something. Woman, you want me, give me a sign / And catch my breathing even closer behindīy the way, I'm not including any of the "do do do do, etc." parts here because they're not really "lyrics" per se, but I would like to point out that the Wikipedia page for this song states that "the repeating of the word 'do' at the end of each verse, is an inspiration from Gordon Lightfoot's song 'If You Could Read My Mind'." Being naturally curious about bands' musical influences, and being a fan of Mr. This is actually some pretty good imagery. Oh well.ĭark in the city, night is a wire / Steam in the subway, earth is afire Why not shoot in Canada or Siberia or something? It would've been cheaper and more relevant to the whole wolf thing. Just as an aside, this video was shot in Sri Lanka, where to the best of my knowledge, there are no wolves.

On her quest to find Durand Durand, Barbarella is seduced by a human resident of SoGo, who introduces her to penetrative intercourse (civilized people of Barbarella's society find sexual release through pharmaceuticals), seduces an angel named Pygar, and overloads a torture device (called the Excessive Machine) which kills through sexual pleasure."Ĭoincidentally, the members of Duran Duran went on to introduce all of America to penetrative intercourse with their hit song "Hungry Like the Wolf." Take a look at the music video. Beyond this premise, the plot is very loose, serving mostly as an excuse for Barbarella to end up in erotic situations. In the film, Barbarella is assigned by the President of Earth to retrieve Doctor Durand-Durand from the planet SoGo in order to save the earth. "Set in the 40th century, Barbarella follows the adventures of its title character played by Jane Fonda. But, for the unwashed masses who have missed the boat, the band Duran Duran is named after a character from the 1968 classic "Barbarella," starring Jane Fonda as the title character. So if, like me, you are a connoisseur of 1960s French erotic science fiction, you probably already know this.
