Duran Duran - Red Carpet Massacre

Duran Duran - Red Carpet MassacreLock up your daughters—the lecherous pretty boys of synth pop are back. The Durannies, still best known for provocative ’80s hits like “Girls on Film” and “Hungry Like a Wolf,” hope some of Justin Timberlake’s SexyBack powers rub off on them. JT joins Simon LeBon and crew on the disco noir of “Falling Down,” which features an X-rated video with topless models. Timbaland and JT muscle in on the edgy thump of “Nite Runner,” while Timba himself lends his authoritative rap to the ominous “Skin Divers.”
