With a couple of catchy singles and epic videos under its belt, Duran Duran went on to top those with the sweeping ballad "Save a Prayer".
Filmed among the beaches and temples of Sri Lanka, the surreal video flows perfectly to the synth-pop gospel.
The dreamy synths immediately draw me in before the synth flute takes over. Dancing children, crashing waves and five buddies on tour.
It wasn't all sunsets and one-night stands: guitarist Andy Taylor apparently fell into water used as an animal latrine during the filming of the video and ended up being hospitalized with dysentery.
Fave lyric: "Some people call it a one night stand but we can call it paradise"
That is also my favorite line from the song, maybe because the Le Blanc lived in Paradise
