Ordinary World - Duran Duran
Talking of Duran Duran (yes they were briefly mentioned yesterday), in the 90’s I rediscovered them when they released the Duran Duran album, aka The Wedding Album.
We had moved to a new house in Frederick and I was pretty annoyed that WHFS, the only radio station I listened to, didn’t stretch that far. Then along came satellite TV, a field which Tom’s employer was hoping to branch out into, and we signed up to be betatesters. Suddenly we had lots of channels at our fingertips and I finally got to watch MTV, which back in those days actually showed music videos. Imagine that!
This is my favourite track from that album, Ordinary World. You have to admit it’s a pretty brave bride who forgoes a strapless meringue for a dress with the biggest bow in the history of the world across the bosom, and replaces a veil with a lampshade!
Oh yes, why is it aka “The Wedding Album”? Because the cover art is photos from DD’s parents weddings.
