Quit, - while you were ahead! Nice Going! (I can just see her, crying into her pillow every night now, ..."That Bastard! -That Album was Supposed to be Mine!!"😭)😁
I don’t think Simon Le Bon gets enough credit for his contributions to DD. He does most of the lyrics and has an awesome voice. I think he is the best leader of the band and still looks and sounds good after joining the band.
I guess it comes down to personal taste and for me, The Chauffeur is the best song, by the best pop group, ever recorded. Beautiful, perfect. Bravo boys, from a fellow Brummie.
Classic like a good wine mattures with age.. love DD espically Simon iv been alife long fan from 1980 seen them in Dublin absloutley brilliant. So glad there opening up the commonwealth games cant wait.
I was 17 when I discovered this song back in 2007, it haunted me then and still does now. I can never explain how it makes me feel but got to be my favourite DD track 🥰
i first heard this song 2 days ago and i was like wow who sings this is it some one new how refreshing , then i found out it was duran duran i watched the video and both video and song was perfection , i was shoked that it was an 80s tune because it sounds timeless , so glad i found this song its fabulous 👍
Not only that but I think this was done in the early 80s... possibly even recorded or wrote in the late 70s!!!(I could be wrong on that.) But yea... GENIUS!!!! WAY WAY WAAAAAAAY ahead of it's time and SUPER TIMELESS!!!!! That pipe wind instrument he plays, if I'm not mistaken, is the oldest instrument known to man. So I mean... super timeless in every possible sense. Ahead of it's time and also having something from the earliest time man had instruments(if I'm not mistaken.)
I became a fan when my sister's friend brought back "Carnival" from across the pond after spending a summer there! If you love the Chauffeur, you'll also love "The Man Who Stole a Leopard." Have: Duran Duran Rio Seven and the Ragged Tiger Live from Madison Square Garden (bootleg radio recording) Notorious Strange Behavior Astronaut Paper Gods Medazzaland Come Undone Pop Trash and two more titles I forget.
I was a Duranie and always will be. These guys can really PERFORM. They were never just overly produced, slick synthesized 80s run of the mill crap. Their stage performances were always on par with any studio recording they made. Just awesome...not many singers or bands can touch them.
This song is one of many reasons DD are giants in the New Wave genre. In fact it might have been the moment this band broke out of its Boy Band reputation. "Oh, they are better than we thought," the critics seemed to say. This is appreciated by even the snobbiest pop music connoisseurs. The use of this song in Greenberg (2010) was a brilliant bit of writing.
Particularily like this because it's got the helmet newton inspired video projected on the background that went with the song which normally you cannot watch or post unless you say you are over 18 with Perry Lister dancing as The Chauffeur topless. Formerly Billy Idol's girlfriend and New Romantic/Hot Gossip dancer.
Легенда!!! помоему был год 88 может и нет, я подросток, ставлю в окно колонку с Депешмодом у меня появился новый друг, позвал меня послушать Дюран ... на бабинах, касетник ...я ахренел.... (краткий рассказ как я полюбил Дюран Дюран)
I purchased this album when I first heard songs on a University of Miami radio station and then got the first album after that. Its so many permutations to listening these album .
Came here looking for a live version of this song so I could see what the "flute" instrument is, also expecting that no way a live performance could sound as good as the studio track for such a complicated "synthy" song. I was wrong. They nailed it live.
Super nice true 1980 classic pop band, had their posters all over my room back in the days, Nick is my favorite. Remember them in 1985 Valby hallen DK first live show WOOW, "ladies and gentleman welcome to Duran Duraaaaaaaaaaan".....It was/is magic. Thanks for sharing.
This song pulls all kindsa emotions out of me❤...Mmmm Sing Blue Silver.....this sound is so mysterious (like me). Definitely one of my faves by D2, that and the bass from New Religion & Rio. Le Sigh.......🤗😎
Gracias Dios, por ser contemporáneo de estos verdaderos "Lords of the Sound" La Banda que mistificó los acordes de mi vida y completa mi mundo cada vez que la escucho. 5 demonios tocan a mi puerta y se como se llaman señores.
Sure is a Great Song, ... must have had all other New Romantic Bands back in '82, thinking "Damn, - Wish We'd Thought Of That!!"😁. It was my favourite off the Album back then, but also if you liked it's haunting vibe, then like me, you'd also have liked "Lonely In Your Nightmare!". Ironically, it was "My Own Way" with it's great Bass Intro ! [that I understand the band don't really like], that made them stand-out, as getting stronger, and a band to watch out for! Also, thought "Hold Back The Rain", was strong too; long before 'Wolf' or 'Prayer', etc. (Don't understand how Elton John can't like "Philadelphia Freedom", either! But I guess every performer has their 'Beté Noir' - that's at vergence with popular opinion.)
Bought this album 1982 for my girlfriend ....girl is gone but the lp is mine.
Her loss.
You have chosen wisely... 😏
Nice work, most of us have a similar story... some did not get to keep the lp.
Quit, - while you were ahead! Nice Going!
(I can just see her, crying into her pillow every night now, ..."That Bastard! -That Album was Supposed to be Mine!!"😭)😁
ahahahahaha
Every true DD fan cannot but love this song.
My favourite and Anyone out there, then careless memory.
It has been my top favourite since it was released.
.
😮b yub
I think it was my favorite....
I don’t think Simon Le Bon gets enough credit for his contributions to DD.
He does most of the lyrics and has an awesome voice. I think he is the best leader of the band and still looks and sounds good after joining the band.
This the the "Stairway to Heaven" for Duran Duran.
For me this is on another level
@@mrbungle3310 a much higher level than SWTH
Masterpiece
The best. Love the darker tone that has a hint of Depeche Mode to start and then evolves into a mix of so many influences.
Pode crê
Simon voice is still just as good as it ever. Been a fan since Planet Earth
God where has time gone?
I just love the fact that Simon plays the ocarina himself instead of it being a backing track. Must click replay now, this is so brilliant.
Best band in World History🎸🎸🎸
Beautiful song! I am a huge Duran Duran fan. The Chauffeur gets me everytime. It's mysterious and enchanting. Classic...timeless. Love these guys.
Hi there, I'm a Duranie from Asia. Would you kindly enlighten the meaning of the lyrics of this D.D. classic please? Best regards.
Best band in World History
The Toltec 👏👏👏👏
☻🎸🙋🏿♂️👏👏👏🏆
Agreed
Such a hypnotizing song. You guys performed it magically. Still one of my favorite bands of all time.
Haunting, immortal masterpiece.
¡Obra maestra!

Simon LeBon - Best pop lyricist to date.
Yes!!!
I can never get tired of hearing this classic...
I've been listening for 26 years and I am never disappointed!!
I guess it comes down to personal taste and for me, The Chauffeur is the best song, by the best pop group, ever recorded.
Beautiful, perfect. Bravo boys, from a fellow Brummie.
I'm inclined to agree with U
This is going to be my funeral song, as the curtain closes, the congregation will here Simon's glorious voice sing me off to my final sleep.
I fell in love with The Chauffeur when I was about ten. That was nearly 40 years ago, and it’s still my favorite song.
These guys are just so genius and beautiful. I will always love ❤️ them!
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!! My heart aches, in a beautiful way, when I hear this song. Duran Duran, are the best band ever, PERIOD!!
I completely agree 😁
Classic like a good wine mattures with age.. love DD espically Simon iv been alife long fan from 1980 seen them in Dublin absloutley brilliant. So glad there opening up the commonwealth games cant wait.

Fell in love with the song all over again.
They are very underrated especially John's bass and Nick's synthesizers!!!
2019 and I still love this song...
Nice, but the live 1984 is without contest the best version, amazing and exceptional, "Sing blue silver" is incredible. I still listen it regularly.

Best song ever
Christ what an album then and now
One of my favourite tunes from DD! 5 stars! Rule in 2020!
I was a Duranie and always will be. These guys can really PERFORM.
They were never just overly produced, slick synthesized 80s run of the mill crap.
Their stage performances were always on par with any studio recording they made.
Just awesome...not many singers or bands can touch them.
Hermosa canción,maravillosa banda los bellos Durán Durán..❤
Could listen to this song over and over... classic track.
the best band ever
Canzone favolosa....Da brividi❤
Only two words; great, love! And the flute... awwwhhf..
+Tuula Orre-Aava It's an ocarina, not a flute ;-)
@@crrispys3035 Actually an ocarina is a kind of flute!
Jedyny mi znany utwór w muzyce pop, gdzie główna partia jest grana na okarynie. Ostatnie półtorej minuty jest genialne, panowie wiedza co robią.
I think this is the definitive version of this great song.
Absolutely brilliant 👏
Bloody brilliant awesome amazing band 👍 luv um after 40 years plus experience in the music business wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow
Simons voice just does something to me every time!!
Youre Still my first crush Mr Simon Le Bon since I was a teen.
Please play this in SF....another classic timeless masterpiece🌉🔥🎸🎹🥁🎤🎶🎶🎶

Oh the ocarina and everything else about this song. STILL love listening to DD.
My favorite from DD....
Gem......
Personally as a rock/metal head, i love this band,Rio is the album i fell in love now, im new to them, and this song is just perfect
this song already revealed Nick's musical sence in his very youth and how he feels music in general.
Particularily like this because it's got the helmet newton inspired video projected on the background that went with the song which normally you cannot watch or post unless you say you are over 18 with Perry Lister dancing as The Chauffeur topless. Formerly Billy Idol's girlfriend and New Romantic/Hot Gossip dancer.
Absolutely beautiful song
i had no idea what this song meant when I was 10 years old. but it was my favorite song.
Still the best❤
Легенда!!!

Beautiful live version. Thank you!
We used to cover this song back in the day. What a wonderful song to play.
So thankful for your talent and grace. As a late 60's kid I love your music. Oh and I have it all on vinyl ;-)
I purchased this album when I first heard songs on a University of Miami radio station and then got the first album after that. Its so many permutations to listening these album .
has to be...must be...one of THE best pieces of music. What can be better?
Still in love with Duran Duran 🥰🥰🥰

There is no end to Simon's talents, is there?
