Of all the Duran Duran stuff that's been posted and linked over the years, I don't think anything hits me harder than The Chauffeur. It hits me harder than anything else they did. And it's such a perfect endpoint to the album it's on.

Kind of pendulating between this and The Happy Dictator by Gorillaz as the Song of the Moment in my playlists.

It's like spitting on a fish
It's like barking up a tree
It's like I said you gotta buy one if you wanna get one free
Dare to be stupid (Yes)
Why don't you dare to be stupid?
It's so easy, so easy to do (Dare to be stupid)
We're all waiting for you (Dare to be stupid)

I work all day at the factory
I'm building a machine that's not for me
There must be a reason that I can't see
You've got to humanize yourself

I think this Culture Club song has held up amazingly well after 43 years.
