[edit] the Arpeggiator

I switched the "Music" tab back to "Arpeggiator," since the arp, in itself is not the focus of the music. it's just on of those things that Duran Duran was well remembered for. when more content on the on the song, is written, then it would make sense to put it under a "music" tab.

Sorry, I agree. I intend to come back and write a little more about the song, but I shouldn't have changed the heading until the article's ready for it. Thanks for your edits! — Catherine\^talk 05:37, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

It's cool. I just think that the keyboard, in the song, was something to noted. I look forward to more info on the singles. And I'll try and bug myself to start more pages for the singles. (Human historian 06:12, 5 May 2006 (UTC))

[edit] America-centric

The "About the song" section starts with this ludicrously America-centric opening paragraph.

"The song did not attract much notice in the United States upon its initial global release, but a slightly retouched version by remixer David Kershenbaum became a favourite among deejays who heard the EP Carnival. After the band's breakthrough hit "Hungry Like the Wolf" stormed MTV and scaled the American charts in December of 1982, radio programmers paid closer attention to the catchy melody and insistent, intricate bass line of "Rio", and Capitol Records reissued the single for the American market to great success."

Is the success of a British band's single in the US charts really the most notable thing "about the song"? I hardly think so. 81.19.57.146 12:17, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NS version

When will this version be released to iTunes? Genevieve-Tamerlaine (talk) 01:42, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I want to protest that Duran Duran must now share this page with that chick from Pussycat Dolls. Blargh. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.86.184.147 (talk) 02:18, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
