My first thought when watching the "Electric Barbarella" video is a model made to order. In a sense, the video is similar to the Disney film, Pinocchio - still life becomes reality. She is uniquely designed with makeup and maid attire. She functions on an electric level. A rather odd lyric - "Princess of my dreams."
The "Electric Barbarella" video is certainly one of a kind. The lyrics to "Electric Barbarella" are unusual, but the tone is defining to Duran Duran - even if lacking the original lineup.
There is one lyric I cannot get past - "But you never looked so good." Perfect skin, plastic kiss, fake fur, fake pearls. She is designed to be the ideal figure.
In the post, "I Don't Want Your Love," I admitted to not being an overall fan of the song but loved the live intro. In the case of "Electric Barbarella," I love the song for its energetic beat but the lyrics are seemingly off in a way I cannot describe.
This is my take on "Electric Barbarella."
