Duran Duran - “Rio” (1982)
Shot by the usual Russell Mulcahy in Antigua, this video is the epitome of the 80s ideal fantasy escape. Tropical island - check, exotic beauty - check, yacht and expensive clothes - check, fluo colours - check, of course.
Also a girl named Rio plays tricks on the boys and teases them, all in a skimpy swimming suit or just bodypaint. Duran Duran later said that she represented “their success in the US”. Whatever that means.
