DURAN DURAN - GIRLS ON FILM
See Them Walking Hand In Hand Across The Bridge At Mignight
Heads Turning As The Lights Flashing Out It's So Bright
Then Walk Right Out To The Four Line Track
There's A Camera Rolling On Her Back, On Her Back
And I Sense The Rhythm Humming In A Frenzy All The Way Down Her Spine
Girls On Film, Girls On Film, Girls On Film, Girls On Film
Lipstick Cherry All Over The Lens As She's Falling
In Miles Of Sharp Blue Water Coming In Where She Lies
The Diving Man's Coming Up For Air Cause The Crowd All Love Pulling Dolly By The Hair, By The Hair
And She Wonders How She Ever Got Here As She Goes Under Again
Girls On Film (Two Minutes Later), Girls On Film
Girls On Film (Got Your Picture), Girls On Film
Wider Baby Smiling You Just Made A Million
Fuses Pumping Live Heat Twisting Out On A Wire
Take One Last Glimpse Into The Night I'm Touching Close I'm Holding Bright, Holding Tight
Give Me Shudders In A Whisper Take Me Up Till I'm Shooting A Star
Girls On Film (She's More Than A Lady), Girls On Film
Girls On Film (Two Minutes Later), Girls On Film
Girls On Film (See You Together), Girls On Film
Girls On Film (See You Later), Girls On Film
Girls On Film (What Ya Doing), Girls On Film
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Roger Taylor, Andy Taylor, Nick Rhodes
Producer(s): Colin Thurston
This Song Is About The Exploitation Of Fashion Models, Who Must Deal With Dehumanizing Shoots In A Frenzied Environment Where They Are Objectified For The Masses. The Group Was Known For Dating Models, So They Had Plenty Of Firsthand Accounts To Draw From. It Was Written By The Five Members Of The Band.
This Song Is Best Known For Its Video, Which Was The First Extended Video Ever Made And Was Quite Racy. In An Interview On The Band's Greatest Hits Dvd Collection, Simon Le Bon Says That The Controversy Over The Song's Notoriously Raunchy Music Video Eclipsed The Song's Message Of Fashion Model Exploitation. The Video Was Directed By Lol Creme And Kevin Godley, Who Were The Leaders Of The Group 10cc And Also Recorded As Godley & Creme.
Mtv Did Not Exist When Duran Duran Made The Video - They Made It To Show In Nightclubs And On Video Jukeboxes That Were Going In Bars And Were Not Subject To Broadcast Regulation. It Showed The Band Looking On With Lots Of Girls Posing For The Camera, Some Of Them In The Nude. The Bbc Banned It, But Mtv Aired An Edited Version With The Nudes Removed.
This Was Used On The Season 2 Episode Of Stranger Things "Trick Or Treat, Freak" When Nancy Fights With Steve And Spills A Drink On Herself.
