[Things started with clever Venture Bros references and shifted to questionable 1980’s Duran Duran music that at least tried to be deep. From there my faulty memory dredged up a music video that should have remained lost in time. Everyone at Curmudgeon Compound, including the dog, is still reeling from it.]
I mentioned to Mrs. Curmudgeon that I remembered a Duran Duran song that was played only once on the radio.
“You can’t remember the zip code of the house we’re living in right now but you remember a song on the radio that was played once.”
“I don’t recall much about it.”
“Played once. So long ago it’s when you still had a mullet?””
“Yeah, it’s weird. The radio always sucked but one day, when Duran Duran had hardly started, there was this one song. I don’t remember it but I remember the title. It was a clever title. Also, mullets rocked. No regrets about that!”
“Do tell?”
“It was called ‘I Eat Cannibals’. They played it once and never again. Sometime in the early 1980’s. Isn’t that a catchy title? I wonder why it never went anywhere.”
Mrs. Curmudgeon was already searching on her iDevice.
“A Duran Duran song that never got airplay? Are you sure?”
“I think so. Wouldn’t any band have a few unpopular songs? When’s the last time you heard ‘Happiness is a warm gun‘ on FM? I mean the Beatles are everywhere but that one disappeared.”
Mrs. Curmudgeon was puzzling over inconclusive search results. “I Eat Cannibals” by Duran Duran wasn’t coming up. It turned out to be a 1982 song by a group called Toto Coelo.
“Right year, wrong band.” She concluded.
“What the heck, hit play.” I prompted.
BAD MOVE!
Here’s the video, watch it if you dare:

The aftermath wasn’t good…
