SATURDAY NIGHT DURAN DURAN, THE STRANGLERS.

Duran Duran with Serious. From the album Liberty (1990).





I passionately hated The Reflex stuff, and loathed their image. But nevertheless, they provided us with a couple of good hits. Serious, a classic poppy tune, is one of them. The lyrics mean nothing, but hey... it doesn't have to be serious.




The Stranglers with Skin Deep. Album Aural Sculpture (1984).





Originally called the Guildford Stranglers when they formed in 1974, this is a band that I will forever associate, first and foremost, with Hugh Cornwell, although he left in 1990 already. But honest is honest: all hail to Jean-Jacques Burnel, who like Cornwell was there too in 74... and who still is.


Good night, and stay safe.



MFBB.
