Mrs T loves her YouTube and often we will watch that after dinner.
Last night we were watching a guy metal detect in a farmers field in France.
Next there was an invasion of wild boars, they way he said it sounded just like Wild Boys!
And so this weeks ttt post was born!
I was never a New Romantic nor a big fan of theirs, but respect where respect is due.
The band were Duran Duran who were massive back in the day, but I am sure will be brand new to a fair few of you reading this.
We are kicking off with The Wild Boys which was from live album Arena but was the only studio track and as per Smooth Radio:
The idea for the song came from video director Russell Mulcahy, who wanted to make a full-length film based on the surreal 1971 novel The Wild Boys: A Book of the Dead by William S Burroughs.
Any James Bond fans might remember this theme tune from A View to a Kill which was Roger Moore's last appearance but I will remember it for Grace Jones. Reminder to self, do a ttt about Grace Jones!
So bassist John Taylor, a lifelong Bond fan, approached producer Cubby Broccoli at a party, and drunkenly asked "When are you going to get someone decent to do one of your theme songs?" source
The rest as they say is history!
The Reflex was their last number one single in the UK.
Apparently this is the product when you have drank a few bottles of wine. You record a song with no meaning what it is about!
Note: The three YouTube videos that I have shared are not owned by me, I am simply spreading great music on Hive.
I wish that you all have a brilliant rest of your week, and until we meet again enjoy your tunes 馃幎馃幍馃幎
