Greatest Videos - 04 - Hungry Like The Wolf
Video:
It's funny and I still quite like it. The video tell us about Simon (who else?) chasing a woman in an exotic country while the other Durans try to find out where the heck Simon has gone.
The landscapes are really beautiful and the woman, though is not a classic beauty, is attractive in her own, determined way (though I hate her when she kisses Roger, and, oh my, she even uses her tongue!)
It's fun seeing Nick, Rog and John at the beginning, running and looking for the elusive Simon, though I wonder if Nick got lost or what, cause then we only see Roger and John on the hunt later. Probably he got tired and sat down and whined a bit (Oh, I'm bad! I love him but sometimes he's like that!).
And Andy??? Why the heck does he appear so little in this video when he looks so nice?!?!?
They compensate this by giving Roger lots of scenes and close-ups, not that I complain about it hehe!
The cheesy scene, at least for me: when Simon and the woman meet and stay frozen for a moment with their mouths wide open.
The scary scene: Simon drinking water from that filthy cloth, hey, have you gone CRAZY?!?! And he's singing as well, he should be choking or something (apart from getting a disease!)
The nice scenes: The few where the five boys are together (for instance, in that party, where they are all laughing, or at the end, when they finally find Simon). I would've love seeing much more of them.
Song:
I liked it a lot in the 80's, not that I don't anymore, but it fell down in my personal ranking. Though I love the live version a lot!
The Boys:
- Andy: Cute, cute, cute!!! In the few scenes where I could spot him, he looks very nice, I love his suit and his hair. It's a shame that he's almost nowhere to be seen.
- John: He's a beautiful man, and here he's no exception. Though he's so skinny and pale here, that I don't feel very excited about him showing his chest (yes, I'm a crazy woman!)
I like him when he asks that boy about Simon, he looks charming! And he runs a lot in this video, looking for that naughty Simon!
- Nick: Same as Andy, he's like a ghost, now you see it and then you don't. It's strange, really, that he appears so little in a video.
- Roger: Roger is devastatingly awesome!!! And there are lots of little scenes where he shows us his sweet, lovely face. Damned that woman! Why could she kiss him and not I?!?!?!
- Simon: Not my piece of cake in this video. In the market scene, he looks strange, too blond maybe, I don't know why, but he doesn't seem Simon to me. He manages to crack me up at the end of the video, where he's singing and making funny faces as if he were getting crazy!
And I'd love to knock over a table as he does! (I think everybody will love to do so!)
