LA La late bar...la la la la la la la la! Grew up a hardcore fan. The b-Sides were always my favorite. Planet Earth and Late bar as the b-side work well. Love it -
An amazing song especially for its era. Pretty amazing this kind of synth pop came out in 1981. I watching the video of this song and it was really trippy with all its visuals.
The only downside with these early Night Version remixes is that they use Simmonds Drums so you can't really mix it in like the later songs in the '80s. -
Edited 20 years agoCall them what you will - a bunch of pretty boys recording disposable pop as an excuse to bog on the make-up and squirt the hairspray - however, Duran Duran recorded some great tracks that have easily stood the test of time. For 1981, 'Planet Earth' was quite mind-blowing. Containing synths that seem like they were pulled from a sci-fi flick, lyrics that sound like they were written by Bowie plus a pumping bass line that fused the whole thing together, the band's first single ranks amongst the greatest of all New Wave songs.
