Duran Duran

Now they're butch!

Duran Duran is an English new wave band. Although formed in 1978, the band is most well-known for their output in the 1980s and was one of the most successful bands of that decade. Amongst their many awards are two Grammys and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The third single from their 1982 album Rio, "Save a Prayer" was used in the 2018 Bumblebee film, and was the fifth song on the movie's soundtrack.

Fiction

Beast Wars: Uprising

In 1984, Noah Acton found a rad cassette player on the steps of the British Museum, hoping to use it to tape some awesome Duran Duran music off the radio. The band's recent hit single, "Union of the Snake", caused some controversy as it suggested a possible connection between Duran Duran and the terrorist group Cobra. Lead singer Simon Le Bon publicly denied this allegation but Noah had some private doubts. Cultural Appropriation
