    Lyrics:
    You've gone too far this time
    And I'm dancing on the valentine
    I tell you somebody's fooling around
    With my chances on the danger line
    I'll cross that bridge when I find it
    Another day
    To make my stand, oh oh
    High time is no time for deciding
    If I should find a helping hand, oh oh
    Why don't you use it?
    Try not to bruise it?
    Buy time don't lose it
    Why don't you use it?
    Try not to bruise it?
    Buy time don't lose it
    The reflex is a lonely child
    Who's waiting by the park
    The reflex is a door to finding
    Treasure in the dark
    And watching over lucky clover
    Isn't that bizarre
    Every little thing the reflex does
    Leaves you answered with a question mark
    I'm on a ride and I want to get off
    But they won't slow down the round-about
    I sold the radio and TV set
    Don't want to be around when this gets out
    So why don't you use it?
    Try not to bruise it?
    Buy time don't lose it
    Why don't you use it?
    Try not to bruise it?
    Buy time don't lose it
    The reflex is a lonely child
    Who's waiting in the park
    The reflex is a door to finding
    Treasure in the dark
    And watching over lucky clover
    Isn't that bizarre
    Every little thing the reflex does
    Leaves you answered with a question mark
    So why don't you use it?
    Try not to bruise it?
    Buy time don't loose it
    Why don't you use it?
    Try not to bruise it?
    Buy time don't lose it
    The reflex is a lonely child
    Who's waiting by the park
    The reflex is a door to finding
    Treasure in the dark
    And watching over lucky clover
    Isn't that bizarre
    Every little thing the reflex does
    Leaves you answered with a question mark
    Oh the reflex what a game
    He's hiding all the cards
    The reflex is in charge of finding
    Treasure in the dark
    And watching over lucky clover
    Isn't that bizarre
    Every little thing the reflex does

Because in 1988 the boy band era started with groups like Bros and New kids on the block and rap, hip hop and rave/acid house dominated the charts. But between 1980 and the end of 1987 the music really rocked!

      "Purple Rain" by Prince and the Revolution spent 24 consecutive weeks at Number One. "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" spent TWO weeks at Number One, in America according to Billboard 100 in 1984. "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" went double platinum while "Purple Rain" sold more than 17 million. WHAM's "Make It Big" sold six times platinum, also released in 1984. I don't think Duran Duran dominated 1984 by a long shot. A great year nonetheless.

    I'm a metalhead for most of my life but I will forever love 80s music that I grew up on. I was showing my 9 year old daughter this at breakfast and explaining just how big of a band DD was and that before CZcams, you sat and waited with a tape recorder by the radio for the song to come on or in front of the TV just waiting for the videos. It almost seems unfathomable how we did it because we live in such an instant gratification society but I think that it taught us discipline and appreciation for things for sure.
    I remember it like it was yesterday. These guys are actually an incredibly talented band too. John Taylor is a sick bassist.

      Me too man. Metal and hip hop. But if it’s got a good bassline, I’m in. And these guys and others from this decade had that in droves. I also totally agree with what you said about instant gratification. I remember there was some George Michael video in the very early 90’s. Tyra Banks was in it, walking down a catwalk runway, nipple tassels on. We thought she was the hottest thing on the planet. So we sat around for like another 5 hours until the video came on again. We were like 10. 🤣 Lots of crap music in that span of time. But because of that day, I ended up going out and buying Check Your Head with my allowance money.

    • @KeremcanBuyuktaskin
      @KeremcanBuyuktaskin Před rokem +3

      I'm also a metalhead, probably because of DD. Before, I couldn't recognize different instruments in a song. I learned to differentiate by listening to a lot of DD, and especially discovering the bass was like a revelation. And the next step was metal naturally, as my ears were trained for it thanks to DD. Also I became a bassist later on thanks to John Taylor, and still to this day his bass lines amaze me.

    The Reflex Is a beautiful song has the rhythm of the 80s, it transmits all the joy that was lived at that time, it's something great! 😍

    Forever jealous of people who were alive in the 80's.

      ​@Richard Fielding that shows how limited you ears are. Marcus Miller, Mark King, Billy Sheehan, Stanley Clarke, Bernard Edwards, John Entwistle, Jean Jacques Burnel to name but a few...

    The very first time I heard or saw Duran Duran was with this video, when it first aired on MTV. I was in fifth grade and visiting a friend, and I had kind of an awakening. I grew up not being allowed to listen to secular music, so I'd never heard anything quite like this. The music was WOW, and they were the most beautiful people I'd ever seen at that point in time. I've been a fan ever since. I recently came across my old Notorious CD and have spent the last several days listening to and watching everything I can find online. Such good memories, such great music. Thanks.
