What a year for music in general...Jump, Hot for Teacher, Panama (Van Halen), Rock of Ages, Photograph (Def Leppard), Looks that Kill (Motley Crue), Round and Round (Ratt), Rebel Yell, Eyes Without A Face (Billy Idol), Let's Dance, China Girl, Modern Love (David Bowie), Beat It, Human Nature (Michael Jackson)...
I was ten when the song was released, so I didn't live the impact that this USA and UK nº1 among other countries had in the world. I got to know Duran's music in 1984 in the summer when Arena was released. While watching this vid I was imagining that the song was being showed for the first time on a TV show and that at that time the power that it had must had been astonishing.
Duran Duran mi banda favorita hoy mañana y siempre Simon es lindo y canta lindo Duran Duran es increíble gracias por compartir con nosotros los fans de Duran Duran este video simón es lindo mi favorito 😘😍❤💋💋💋👍👍😜😜😜💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
***** That's called *old age* mate! (LOL!) There are certain things old farts like us simply *shouldn't* do! *Dancing*...sadly, is one of them!! (yep!...I still hit the dancefloor too...sod 'em!!) :-) Goodnight buddy!
Catchy, innovative and creative...so 80s..I so wish I had been 20s at this time. I wasn't born when this was out. Was only a baby in the 80s/ a 90s kid really. I missed all the good life.
Sabine Wei they conjured up the song when they hired a chatueo in South of France. They had all been drinking a few red wines and started jamming away , and so the reflex was born :):)
They look so amazing still , I know I still got a huge crush on nick lol . I really appreciate the past music more because it’s energetic and boppy and poppy and I just love the way it brings a message to me in a way for not only this song but every song in the 80s pretty much .
So what... TOTP was nearly always lip sync'ed - but the artists had talent, and their catchy, memorable songs were not 6 minute whining dirges a' la 2017..
great times!.. was about 10yrs old & lived two doors down from nick rhodes' (bate's) parents.. used to take groupies on a tour up the road to john taylor's house. his mom was our dinner lady at school LOL!
This was peak Duran Duran. They caused a full scale riot of screaming girls in downtown Toronto early ‘84. 10 months later those screaming girls started dressing like cheap tarts in a red light street emulating Madonna. The Duranie era was sadly over after that.
00:10 - LOL ... Simon almost forgot to put the microphone to his mouth. But hey, every other band and artist that appeared on TOTP lip synched anyway. I don't think anyone ever performed live on TOTP ... hmmm ... they always played the single and the band/artist always mimed.
they had a lot on this show lip synced. like nearly all of it because i think they just couldn't be bothered with the technical stuff screwing up on tv and it took time to set up everything.
@KhanadaRhodes Nah this performance is lip-synched. Shame.... half the time on TOTP, they lipsync and the other half, they sing live. This performance, the band just seems to lipsync to it. The poster didn't do anything. I can tell....
As a guy growing up in the eighties I hated Le Bon, probably because he was the guy I most wanted to be!🤯
Invejosa
Nick has always dressed stylish! Love him in the red jacket!
Love 80s hair wish it would make a come back.
me too, I kinda hate today's samey fakeness.
25 and have a good mullet length. 😏
Just do it😁
no one is stopping ya
Wish mine would come back 🤣
Duran Duran forever! what a wonderful year 1984 was, like 1983, wish I could go back. :)
Andy’s jacket, legendary!
😍🤩
Unglaubliche Band, mit einem unglaublichen Simon Le Bon!
Die Musik war einfach so geil und so besonders 🤩!!!
Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 ,👋👋!
The summer of 84 was the greatest time of my childhood. I miss that era.
The 80' were an incredible time to grow up. I'd go back in a heartbeat.❤

Super, smashing, great.
You aren't alone. None of the other 4 are attractive but Rog, quiet and a little bit geeky. Aged the best too!
Outstanding.
The Reflex is my all time favourite Duran Duran song
Oh John.. You still take my breath away

Beautiful face! Fantastic music! They are all genius.

What a year for pop music 1984 was. It began with Relax and Radio Gaga and ended with Last Christmas and Do They Know Its Christmas?
pipoo1 Totally!! It was THE BEST YEAR!!
They look so amazing still , I know I still got a huge crush on nick lol . I really appreciate the past music more because it’s energetic and boppy and poppy and I just love the way it brings a message to me in a way for not only this song but every song in the 80s pretty much .
the first four years were definitely the best
this has to be one of the best synth pop songs ever written.
I love duran so much best band ever .seen them in concert amazing. Le Bon girl 71 xx
cuuute john😋
I was a teenager and in love with John Taylor 😂
Iwas there for this!
Oh, that´s awesome!!!😊
Happy Birthday Simon!
still sounds good thirty plus years on eh?
lewstone1934 it's lip synced, so easy to tell...
So what... TOTP was nearly always lip sync'ed - but the artists had talent, and their catchy, memorable songs were not 6 minute whining dirges a' la 2017..
lewstone1934 salty
I like some of the whining dirges! But I agree: The Reflex is one of their best songs, and it does indeed stand up 30+ years on.
quick reaction
Wow, first time noticing Nile Rodgers stand out bass guitar. Really stands out.
Class !😌🎵🙌
Impressive bassline :)
Andy Taylor is so friggin cute in this video
The guy dancing behind Nick at 1:03 is thrusting, honestly I'd probably be doing the same thing if I was there though
great times!..
was about 10yrs old & lived two doors down from nick rhodes' (bate's) parents..
used to take groupies on a tour up the road to john taylor's house.
his mom was our dinner lady at school LOL!
Simon Bates!
Go A+...
Epic mullet.....

Lol..John misses the bass slides, but throws in a few extra ones just in case :P
I remember having my first sexual feelings watching this as an 8 year old. It was very confusing, hahah
8!!???😯🤭
At 1.46.. I wonder what Simon is saying to Andy, which Andy replies 'Yes' too?! 🤔
3.33- where did the mic go John?
@MrNostalgiaX i never said they didn't lip-sync the song. all i said was i used the original audio off the dvd.
Bet Steven "tin tin" Duffy is kicking himself after leaving as lead singer
You can always tell when a band is miming somthing they always crack up and can't sing. :)
00:10 - LOL ... Simon almost forgot to put the microphone to his mouth. But hey, every other band and artist that appeared on TOTP lip synched anyway. I don't think anyone ever performed live on TOTP ... hmmm ... they always played the single and the band/artist always mimed.
3:07 - oops, he forgot to lip synch... hehehe.
Simply red lip didn't lip sync
Why does it sound like hes saying im dancing with duncan banatine i must be cracking up or something lol......
@MrNostalgiaX Yeah, most of the totp shows were lipp-synched....on the show 'The Old Grey Whistle Test', songs were performed live
they had a lot on this show lip synced. like nearly all of it because i think they just couldn't be bothered with the technical stuff screwing up on tv and it took time to set up everything.
@KhanadaRhodes I know. Actually I was trying to defend you cuz he was basically accusing you of overlapping audio on this. But whatever....
@cdh99 thats pretty awsome how much to get in ?
@peterharrison86 i didn't dub anything...
@WiiNiie25 - it
TBH is it even top of the pops if it's not lip synced
.
Y
It always amazes me, how do they lip-synched when there's a band ?
That's a lot of unused drums! 😛
@KhanadaRhodes Nah this performance is lip-synched. Shame.... half the time on TOTP, they lipsync and the other half, they sing live. This performance, the band just seems to lipsync to it. The poster didn't do anything. I can tell....
utter bollocks
