Welcome to Monday Blues!
In this series, I am featuring anything blues - whether by album title, song title, or simply music in the genre.
In this launch post, on the other hand, Duran Duran is paving the way with "New Moon on Monday."
Kick off the week and the Monday Blues series with a new moon.
"New Moon on Monday" Background -
10th single
Released in January 1984 in the UK
From Duran Duran's third album, Seven and the Ragged Tiger (1983)
No. 9 on UK Singles Chart
No. 10 on Billboard Hot 100
The music video -
Filmed in December 1983 in Noyers, France
Dressed as an underground resistance movement...Organizing a revolt against a modern oppressive militaristic regime
Least favorite video - according to Andy Taylor and Nick Rhodes
Christmas holiday cut short to film the video
Dark and cold set
The music video may not have been so much, but the chart success speaks for itself.
"New Moon on Monday"
