That's easily the best track by any of the 1985 Duran offshoots. (Not counting "Bang A Gong" b/c it simply doesn't count.)

I can't say I really like that period of Duran Duran material, 81 through 84 was my favorite with a sprinkling of their later stuff (Electric Barbarella, Sunrise).

Well, "Ordinary World"/"Come Undone" were still en route a couple of years down the line. But this was probably their last hyperenergetic number to chart.
