DURAN DURAN - HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF
Darken The City, Night Is A Wire
Steam In The Subway, Earth Is A Afire
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Dodo Dododo Dodo
Woman, You Want Me, Give Me A Sign
And Catch My Breathing Even Closer Behind
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Dodo Dododo Dodo
In Touch With The Ground
I'm On The Hunt I'm After You
Smell Like I Sound, I'm Lost In A Crowd
And I'm Hungry Like The Wolf
Straddle The Line In Discord And Rhyme
I'm On The Hunt I'm After You
Mouth Is Alive With Juices Like Wine
And I'm Hungry Like The Wolf
Stalked In The Forest, Too Close To Hide
I'll Be Upon You By The Moonlight Side
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Dodo Dododo Dodo
High Blood Drumming On Your Skin, It's So Tight
You Feel My Heat, I'm Just A Moment Behind
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Dodo Dododo Dodo
In Touch With The Ground
I'm On The Hunt I'm After You
A Scent And A Sound, I'm Lost And I'm Found
And I'm Hungry Like The Wolf
Strut On A Line, It's Discord And Rhyme
I Howl And I Whine, I'm After You
Mouth Is Alive, All Running Inside
And I'm Hungry Like The Wolf
Hungry Like The Wolf
Hungry Like The Wolf
Hungry Like The Wolf
Burning The Ground, I Break From The Crowd
I'm On The Hunt, I'm After You
I Smell Like I Sound, I'm Lost And I'm Found
And I'm Hungry Like The Wolf
Strut On A Line, It's Discord And Rhyme
I'm On The Hunt, I'm After You
Mouth Is Alive With Juices Like Wine
And I'm Hungry Like The Wolf
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Roger Taylor, Andy Taylor, Nick Rhodes
Producer(s): Colin Thurston
This Was The Band's Breakthrough Hit In The Us. It's Success Originated From Mtv, Which Had Only Just Come On Air, Showing Their Video Of The Band In The Sri Lanka Jungle (They Also Shot The Clips For "Lonely In Your Nightmare" And "Save A Prayer" On This Trip). It Was An Early Sensation Particularly In The Deep South Where The Channel Was Being Trialled. In A Pre-Mtv World Where Duran Duran Could Be Heard But Not Seen, It Is Unlikely That They Would Have Broken Through In America.
According To The Band's Blender Interview, Lead Singer Simon Le Bon's Lyrics Were Inspired By The Fairy Tale Little Red Riding Hood, Which Features The Big Bad Wolf.
The First Grammy Award For Best Short Form Video Was Given At The 1984 Ceremony, And It Was Given To Duran Duran As A Joint Award For "Hungry Like The Wolf" Together With "Girls On Film."
The Outfit Bassist John Taylor Wore In The Video Was Used As The Basis For Styling The Character Sonny Crockett, Played By Don Johnson On 1980s Tv Show Miami Vice.
