Surely you remember the Second British Invasion? Why, that was back when MTV (let's put some quotation marks around the "M" nowadays) actually displayed music. What a concept. Now we're stuck with bullshit tripe such as New Jersey Whores, or something like that, but in the greater scheme of things, it's not quite important. But let's go back to when MTV actually meant something. Here, my friends, is one of the bands that made it all possible - Duran Duran. Named after a character from the cult 1968 Roger Vadim film Barbarella (starring the most beautiful Jane Fonda), these Birmingham, England lads truly let loose on American shores with an almost imperious regality. Here, from their 1981 eponymous debut album, is the seminal classic, "Girls On Film". I suppose I might also add that this video is NSFW. So I have!
