My friend was a huge Duran fan from the beginning for life. He’s being buried today so I’m playing his favorite Duran Duran songs. In the pre-Internet days, he tracked down the passage that Simon is reciting in the video. Rest in peace, Joel.
For those of you who weren't alive during the MTV glory days, this band made MTV. So ahead of their time, every video they made was an artistic masterpiece. Not just pretty boys, but seriously talented. They were the whole package ❤
Criminally underrated track. They really were video pioneers. No one else was doing this sort of thing in the very early 80’s. The Shakespeare at the beginning gives it the perfect creepy vibe.
I couldn’t agree more. So creative innovative And nothing fake about it. The real thing. It’s like a mini movie. And the dialogue during the dark yet moving of the beginning of the song the instrumental why in the hell wasn’t this A hit. It makes that damn song with Justin Timberlake sound like a preschool melody. And that still pisses me off that Duran Duran Would stoop to that level and let Justin Timberlake invade the Duran Duran sacred circle.
Yet this one video was released and went mainstream in the UK in November 1982... Strangely Michael Jackson yells in his video and runs from Zombies in Thriller, which released just one year TO THE MONTH later in November 1983 Coincidence?
Totally agree. This is one of the creepiest yet smooth songs. This was WAY fucking ahead of its time. Still one of my favorites from them. The journey they take you on is just beyond anything else that was happening then. The calm, the crescendo then calm then... oh it's a roller coaster. So good
Was more a "John" girl then, but hey, I just love bass players. But Simon came very close in as second. This video oh, how I wanted to be on that night boat back in early 80-ies.
Now that you mention it, I'm seeing tons of evidence for that. The makeup design, the scene with the crab, the locale, the cinematography, etc. Wow. I can't believe there's a Duran Duran video referencing Zombi 2 and I didn't even know about it until recently.
Saw them recently and they opened with this number. Hearing those eerie synths in the low lights and effects gave me some serious chills as the concert began made it one hell of an opener.
I was at the Tampa show and when they opened with this, I lost my mind! You could tell who the hardcore Duranees were by who was singing along to this!
It is songs like these of Duran Duran's that many casual radio listeners never hear that show what a fully fledged out band with so much talent these guys have. Love it.
my second fave duran video of all time! the acting! the shakespeare! nick's wrong timing with the mirror! john's scream! andy and nick working together for once! the band getting mauled by a bunch of undead duranies. roger surviving in the end (he was my fave when I was a kid)!
The first time I saw this video back in 83 or 84 I was determined to find out what he was saying and where did it come from. So because of Simon Le Bon I was introduced to Shakespeare and that was the start of a new life that would have his works and Duran Duran music influence it to this day 34 years later. :)
Absolutely! I spent ages looking through the entire works of Shakespeare looking for this quote and ended up with a lifelong love of Shakespeare and I can say that I am lucky enough to have had a personal phone call from Simon- spoke to him for half an hour courtesy of my lovely brother and his lovely girlfriend Helena!
Also that;s one of the things that I love most about DD was that they wrote such weird and beautiful and poetic lyrics and the videos were and still are works of art ! and they had a sense of humour as evident in their interviews ! Saw them live in Australia in 2007 and they were still brilliant!Half the audience were in their forties and the other half were in the age grou p of 19-24 and when I spoke to the latter group what they loved about DD was what we had and still did like about DD!
What a privilege for being raised in the 50's! My parents have shown and talked about the fun they had when people were never home, people socialized, people had fun, and nobody sat behind a screen!
I remember going to a goth club in Enschede Holland in the late 80's and this track was played. I wonder how many people knew this masterpiece was Duran Duran?
Raw and artistic. No sellout, disposable pop here. First time hearing this song. Careless Memories is another unique piece of music on this album that is a must listen.
The B Side to the first three albums were quite dark (Night Boat, Chauffeur, Seventh Stranger). There’s more to this band than lipstick, boats and pop tunes.
Don’t forget Sekret Oktober. B side to Union of the Snake if I remember correctly. Admittedly, ‘twas a long time ago when we played b sides. What gifts. We are so lucky!
This bass line totally drives the creepy factor; The low-end usually does. My favorite bit to play is that dark B to G to open E at the end of 'echo me'. Always makes me raise my eyebrow on the G to E.
This has to be one of my most favourite videos of the 80's! The fact that they were thinking more cinematic in their videos then their other contemporaries says much to Nick's love of movies! They didn't really put bad videos out! Also had some of the greatest directors as well!
When I was a teen I loved it when Duran Duran came out with an 'Exclusive' video on MTV. My eyes peeled, getting lost in the story. Haven't had that desire since, really. Thanks Duran Duran! x
One of my favourite Duran Duran songs. This to me proves that even after 30 years, the band was not just an 80's phase. I feel excited still when I see a video from them that to my knowledge had never released a video. As for Shakespeare and zombies; keep in mind that the group were doing what they were told to do. The video was the creation of a video producers imagination. Artistic creativity, for better or worse. I liked hearing everyone speaking throughout.
2021 brought me back to Duran Duran after seeing a guy sing Ordinary World on a singing competition. I am hooked all over again like I was when I was a teen! I lost 30 years of their music but have been caught up and now own all CD's! Thanks for sharing this video; I never knew it existed. They are the greatest! Let's get them in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
I loved this video as a child. The video fits the music perfectly. I love the eeriness of it. And Simon is picture perfect! Love that first scene of him standing on the boat.
I have loved this band for ages ( I discovered them 14 years ago when I was a teenager) but this is the first time that I see this video. I don't understand the complaints. The video is awesome and so ahead of this time where zombies are mainstream. Anyway, if you still don't like the video, the song is just too good.
I remember the first time I saw this video....1983/84. I was already obsessed with Duran. This video was absolutely sexy to me. I think we rewound the VHS tape about a billion times once we got our hands on it.
Definitely one of my favorite songs. Exceptionally talented band. There musicality is unmatched. Blessed to have aeem them in concert over 5 times. The best was the impromptu concert in the parking lot if Capitol Records in Hollywood, CA. Front row with the Fab 5! Still have all my albums, cassettes and CDs plus calendars and posters at 55 years old. Excitingly looking forward to the next opportunity to see them perform Hopefully in the UK.
after seeing the video (I'm 41 now btw, born in '77) and watchind some of their other videos you or anybody has to admit Duran Durans sheer talent and creatvity, and urge to put it out there. They had great money then, and could've decided not to do a video but they did anyway....I think for all their songs. Pure showmens, they are. I honor their talent.
I remember working so hard to save every penny because the VHS machine cost $500 to be able to save/record whatever snippet you could of the videos you loved
10/11 years old and looking up Simon's Shakespeare quotes. Teachers should have used this to get us interested! ;) Still remember it all 40+ years later.
I had no idea they'd made a video for this song. Not until I just now stumbled on it here. I've been a huge Duran fan since '81 when I was in middle school. How did it take me nearly 40 years to learn of it?

Very accurate statement! Whole other side of the band. This energy shows itself through out the first album more so than any other but this song and video are monumental really! Before Thriller even! Better!!!!!😉Deeper!!!!! There was a depth to this band. I was in pre school when this came out. Saw the video way after the fact around 7and the Ragged Tiger. This band is a big part of my life and I appreciate you posting this video! I didn't have cable/MTV but had the albums so it's great to get watch this whenever after so many years! Cheers
So that's why the mirror shatter when nick see himself in the mirror. He forgot wearing his make up. Good thing the boat didnt drown when they got simon on board he didnt even need make up to be a zombie

I've loved this video since the first time I saw it in the 80s. The shiny wooden schooner is beautiful and it reminds me of the yacht DD used to film Rio on.
Duran Duran was doing zombies long before Michael Jackson made them cool! This has always been one of my favourite videos. In case you're wondering, 40+ years ago I researched what Simon was reciting. It's a soliloquy from Romeo and Juliet. Unfortunately, I can't remember if it was Romeo's or Mercutio's soliloquy. The whole video is great, though! ETA: Simon is doing Nightboat in concert again! So awesome!
Not only are they video geniuses for their time but they each do their instruments well. In my opinion, because of their new wave look, they had a quick female audience in large numbers and took criticism on true talent at first but love or not like them no one can argue to this day what Duran Duran has done for this industry.
A zombie apocalypse video released before MJ's Thriller! I have always loved this song. It's so criminally underrated, and the layers of the song and video combined require you to watch it more than once to fully appreciate just how genius these guys are.
I was a fan of Duran Duran 40 years ago...I was 10 and it was a time when it wasn't cool for boys to like them. So, I was a secret fan...but now I'm out in the open. They're a great band and continue to make great music!
Duran Duran banda fantástica de los 80 cuya musica pareciera que fue escrita en en el siglo 21 ya en el salon de la fama del rock and roll tiene todavía mucho que dar a la música mundial gracias por esas bellas canciones y videos espectaculares simonnnnnn belloooooo.

This was the first Zombie music video predating Michael Jackson thriller by a year. It's a nod to Italian horror filmmaker Lucio Fulci. I love this!

MJ's "Thriller" album came out in November of '82, the *video* in October of '83. This single and video was released in July of '81.
One of my favorites. Nothing else was even close to it back in the 80s....
I was just thinking about that very thing while watching this again. It's one of my favorite videos for one of my favorite songs!
@@starfishplectrumelectrumge8013 Wrong: the song is from their first album, but this video was obviously shot in 1982.

Not July now, but I did in July 1986....

I certainly do. Several years ago I wrote a number of scenes for a story inspired by the video. Couldn't figure out exactly how to end it, though.
Peter Evans Me, is a good idea... The music plays by...
Sounds like a good idea. I'm working on getting my bachelor's degree in English as a writer, so maybe I'll write a story based on this video.

I remembered that I purchased a video of Duran Duran when Night boat came out, I couldn't watch the video because it scared the crap out of me!!!

John's screaming 😂
Loved this video. One of their best, IMHO. Use to give me the creeps, late at night on MTV back in the day.
I was listening at 12 years old on Daddy’s old record player in 1982. One of my fave DD tunes.
Duran Duran
Nice blood curdling scream JT :DD
So that's why the mirror shatter when nick see himself in the mirror. He forgot wearing his make up. Good thing the boat didnt drown when they got simon on board he didnt even need make up to be a zombie

@@mshadow6147Huh?
I've loved this video since the first time I saw it in the 80s. The shiny wooden schooner is beautiful and it reminds me of the yacht DD used to film Rio on.
Yes! Kind of the antithesis of Rio, though, no?
This is the best music video EVER!
ON THE EDGE OF THE KEY....
LOVE THE CRABS!!!
ATTACK OF THE BRUSSELS ELITES ON ALL WORLD SOVEREIGNTY
Duran Duran was doing zombies long before Michael Jackson made them cool! This has always been one of my favourite videos. In case you're wondering, 40+ years ago I researched what Simon was reciting. It's a soliloquy from Romeo and Juliet. Unfortunately, I can't remember if it was Romeo's or Mercutio's soliloquy. The whole video is great, though!
ETA: Simon is doing Nightboat in concert again! So awesome!
Not only are they video geniuses for their time but they each do their instruments well. In my opinion, because of their new wave look, they had a quick female audience in large numbers and took criticism on true talent at first but love or not like them no one can argue to this day what Duran Duran has done for this industry.
This short film deserves an OSCAR
No. The zombies didn't dance.

I'll take that over Thriller any day.
Me too :>
Huge Duran Duran fan from the 80s here and I still LOVE this song and others from this album!!

john ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A zombie apocalypse video released before MJ's Thriller! I have always loved this song. It's so criminally underrated, and the layers of the song and video combined require you to watch it more than once to fully appreciate just how genius these guys are.
I was a fan of Duran Duran 40 years ago...I was 10 and it was a time when it wasn't cool for boys to like them. So, I was a secret fan...but now I'm out in the open. They're a great band and continue to make great music!
I was a fan out in the open. Maybe that is why everyone hated me ?
Duran Duran banda fantástica de los 80 cuya musica pareciera que fue escrita en en el siglo 21 ya en el salon de la fama del rock and roll tiene todavía mucho que dar a la música mundial gracias por esas bellas canciones y videos espectaculares simonnnnnn belloooooo.

@@michaelengle9062
Definately a great number to open their live shows with !!! 👌
Who cares about the goofy video...listen to the music. This was one of Durans darker sounds, one of the best.
+Robert Bell Yes, exactly! And it still gives me goosebumps...
Love the video and the song LOL
"goofy video?" No one called Thriller goofy....the song OR the video. This video is cool too. Don't be snarky.
i would call it tongue in cheek! it's a great video that lasts the test of time!
Dark but cool! Great sound...
Simon's incessant yelping nearly sinks the ship.
M
That's hilarious.
One of the best.. Nick Rhodes…!!!! Absolutely the Mozart of the era..!!🥳🥳🥰🥰🥰👍👍🎶🎶😊
Duran Duran
Nick is a Synth Master! He is so creative and adds such depth and texture to the ears with his instrument💯💥🤩!
I am seeing Duran Duran tomorrow night in Boston and cannot wait to hear this tune to start the show. Wow, cool song!
40 years ago ??? Can anybody beleive this? It looks like somebody recorded last week. Much much more ahead of time .
