Lyrics:
Moving on the floor now babe you’re a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it’s very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right
You catch that mirror way out west
You know you’re something special and you look like you’re the best
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
I’ve seen you on the beach and I’ve seen you on TV
Two, of a billion stars it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I’m sure that you know it’s just for you
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
Hey now (wow) look at that did he nearly run you down
At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive you make me feel
Alive, alive, alive
I’ll take my chance ‘cause luck is on my side
I tell you something I know what you’re thinking
I tell you something I know what you’re thinking
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twists across a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
Her name is Rio, she don’t need to understand
And I might find her if I’m looking like I can
Oh Rio Rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

I remember cruising down the road in Chicago while this song was playing on the radio in 2017.
I love how funky the base is
That's how you brought 50 Kilos over from Cuba in 83 😅
Simon is a professional yachtsman who done the round the world yacht race
The best music video of all time.

Anybody notice he is wearing fins when he got jerked into the water?
Timeless decadence
Does this lyrics have any reference to Brazil? "Rio Grande" is a Portuguese name from Brazil
This is in Brazil?
Love this !! ..more than the band will ever know ! (Pinner)
Ah, the 80's. When the male band was more feminine than the female visual appeal model!
killer bass
I just learned this song on bass and after a few plays my fingers get tired, Johnn Taylor must of done quite a work out on live sets….
Here after Hatate's brace from RB
Only learned about this song because of the south park season 3 christmas special. Good song too.
who else heard this from south park?
Best Christmas song ever👍🥲😄
Duran Duran are trying to say they we’re born with those suits on -they are in birthday suits get it now
Imagination a wonderful tool or a demon of doubt?
I'm here because of new kids on the block "Bring back the time". Had to check out all of the references
They were so meaningful at that time. They were so able to bring aestetics into music videos. execeptional
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷❤️❤️❤️
easy english
IL RIO è LA SCIA DEI PESCI PER PRENDERE IL VOLO
FUTURO SOLO DOCUMENTARI
IO HO L'AUTISMO
SIMON LE BON è LEONARDO DI CAPRIO
MI STA PREPARANDO TUTTO LUI

QUESTO è A COLORI QUALCQUNO PIACE CALDO è IN B/N
DOVE SI VEDONO LE RONDINI DI MARE
QUELLE DELL'ARTICO SONO TREMENDE GLI ELICOTTERI
Sing street
I was a British tourist traveling across the U.S. in 1982. I heard this song on local radio as we were traveling across the Rio Grande. Doesn't get much sweeter than that.
