1993
I discovered Duran Duran when "Ordinary World" was accidentally leaked to radio stations. The song was a hit and forced the band to finish The Wedding Album as soon as possible.
I loved the song so much that my mom bought a copy of the album when it was on cassette tape. Of course, I now have the CD...and iTunes.
I have long said that I prefer "Ordinary World" recorded. My main reason is at the end of the song with the final instrumental notes accenting Simon's final vocals. There is a sense that Simon does not want the song to come to an end, but the instrumental says otherwise. I want to say that the instrumental is Nick's keyboards.
And so if I had never heard "Ordinary World," would I be a Duran Duran fan?
