Personally, I think it's a great song.

90's music wasn't that bad.

Most modern pop stars are unfit to shine Simon LeBon’s shoes.

Fun fact: The guitar solo that characterises this song was arranged and performed by Warren Cuccurullo, former player with Frank Zappa. Warren is credited generally with resurrecting Duran.

Duran Duran was often dismissed as a "pretty boy" bubblegum band but they had some great cuts.

In addition to this one, they had "The Chauffeur", "Save A Prayer", "Hungry Like The Wolf" and "New Moon On Monday."

Not bubblegum disposable pop.

From Duran Duran Pledges Support for LGBT Community at North Carolina Show

Duran Duran considered cancelling its Saturday night (April 16) concert at North Carolina’s PNC Music Pavilion in protest of the state’s newly passed HB2 law, which requires transgender people only use bathrooms that correspond with their sex at birth.

It is a great song, lyrics, melody, composition, production all of it. Arguably their best.

Ready for this?

The ONLY band to have a #1 hit in the 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s is . . .

Duran Duran.

Excellent pick. I was sitting at a bar, finishing my second Heineken. Somebody played “Ordinary World” on the juke box and I loved it immediately.

And somebody spoke and I went into a dream …
