Duran Duran – Hungry like the Wolf (Official Music Video)

A dynamic dance tune that captures the feeling of a hunter hungry like a wolf, this track stands as a defining song of the early 1980s New Wave scene and still shines with undimmed appeal today.

Inspired by the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, the lyrics thrillingly express fierce desire and primal impulses in love, while Simon Le Bon’s sensual vocals lend a taut tension to the entire piece.

Featured on the album Rio, it achieved global success—its innovative, adventure film–like music video, shot in Sri Lanka, became a hot topic on MTV and won the 1984 Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video.

With sparkling synths from the Roland Jupiter-8 and a funky groove, it’s the perfect track for a summer drive or a beach party!
