Unlike Duran Duran, Thompson Twins, a band out of New Zealand which made it big with this song in 1984, does not appear to be on tour.
But, they pop up in pop culture including episodes of "Family Guy." The band was named after characters in Herge's classic "Tintin" comic book series.
(Oooops_ we forgot to mention that Duran Duran was named after something in the Jane Fonda sci-fi flick"Barbarella" ).
I recently heard this song on 98.7 Simon-FM Greensboro. In fact, I think it caused me to miss an exit!
