About this deal
Duran Duran • Rio • Seven and the Ragged Tiger • Arena • Notorious • Big Thing • Liberty • Duran Duran (The Wedding Album) • Thank You • Medazzaland • Pop Trash • Astronaut • Red Carpet Massacre • All You Need Is Now • Paper Gods • Future Past • Danse Macabre The midtempo No. 2 smash was a departure, as Duran Duran's previous singles were all geared for the dance floor.

Save a Prayer" was not originally issued as a single in the United States, although the music video was very popular on MTV.

He accidentally swallowed some, and had to be hospitalised during the band's subsequent Australian tour due to a tropical virus he contracted at that time. The band members all initially refused to do the scene where an elephant sprays water from its trunk onto one of them due to its homoerotic overtones; they finally settled on John Taylor since he was the band's pin-up boy. He would be teased about it for years afterwards. [9] "I didn't care," he wrote in 2012. "I loved it. It is one of my most treasured memories." [12]
