Title track 'Rio' was actually the seventh single from Duran Duran's 1982 sophomore album of same name. The single hit Australia and the UK in 1982, but it took until this week in 1983 for it to release in the U.S.

It's only one of the best songs and videos EVER

@jake4480 that baseline is incredible, unforgettable, a great musical achievement, i think. Duran Duran gets too much hate. they’re viewed as this like ’80s boy band that didn’t make their own music or something, but they actually did write their own music, and i’m pretty sure they played all their own instruments as well. they just had a very plastic image, i guess, which rubs some people the wrong way. i personally love Duran Duran.

@f0rrest ha! I love em so much too. Yeah, I know some people are gonna bag on em. Hey, if they don't want great songwriting, everything else, their loss. Love Ordinary World and of course like, Girls on Film.. even Michael, You've Got a Lot to Answer For haha - just watched Bone Temple yesterday and there were 2 DD songs in it! (Girls on Film and Ordinary World). And he has Rio, you see the cover several times in it.
