Duran Duran "Friends of mine."

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/duranduran/friendsofmine.html

Not only a great beat, but good lyrics as well.

Hey Brits that are 80's fans, did they ever make an extended mix or "hot tracks" or "night mix" of this song?

Funny thing about your nickname there Bonk. I was watching VH1 "Where are they now?" and they were doing a spot on Duran Duran and the interviewer asked what they did on tour besides sing and living the glamourous life. Simon LeBon told him "We were too busy bonking to get into any trouble." Well, when you have thousands of women throwing themselves at you in each city, I guess I would be busy "bonking" as well.

Baby sneezes
Mommy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
So bewildering

I know nothin' stays the same
But if you're willin' to play the game
It's comin' around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart (broken heart)

Pay the grocer
You fix the toaster
You kiss the host goodbye
Then you break a window
Burn the souffl
Scream the lullaby

I know nothin' stays the same
But if you're willin' to play the game
It's comin' around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart

And I believe in love
But what else can I do
So in love with you

I know nothin' stays the same
But if you're willin' to play the game
It's comin' around again

(Baby sneezes)
(Mommy pleases)
(Daddy breezes in)
I know nothin' stays the same
But if you're willin' to play the game
It will be comin' around again

(The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout)
(Down come the rain and washed the spider out)
(Out come the sun and dried up all the rain)
(And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again)

{Carly plus backup singers}
(The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout)
(Down come the rain and washed the spider out)
(Out come the sun and dried up all the rain)
(And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again)

I believe in love
Now who knows where or when
But it's comin' around again

{Carly plus backup singers}
(The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout)
(Down come the rain and washed the spider out)
(Out come the sun and dried up all the rain)
(And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again)

I know nothin' stays the same
But if you're willin' to play the game
It's comin' around again

(Itsy bitsy spider)
(Itsy bitsy spider)
(Itsy bitsy spider)
(Itsy bitsy spider)
(The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout) (Comin' around again)
(Down come the rain and washed the spider out) (Down the rain came)
(Out come the sun and dried up all the rain)
(And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again)

(Itsy bitsy spider)
(Itsy bitsy spider)
(Itsy bitsy spider)
(Itsy bitsy spider) (Again)

FADE

Always an uplifter.

Ahhh yes, Carly Simon's song, unfortuneately she released it a few years too late, I think it would have been a smah hit had she released it before MTV came out and the British New Wave invasion hit us.

Great song BTW Toasty.
