Duran Duran – Hungry Like The Wolf

Duran Duran – Hungry Like The Wolf

In 1982, music video director Russell Mulcahy, who had directed the band’s first video “Planet Earth”, was brought back to make the music video for “Hungry Like the Wolf”.

The band had a vision of jungles and exotic women, and the director suggested Sri Lanka, a country he had just visited. EMI spent some money to send the group to Sri Lanka. The video was lush and cinematic, with shots of jungles, rivers, elephants, cafes and marketplaces evoking the atmosphere of the film Raiders of the Lost Ark (who was a success at the time).

In 1982, the band were getting zero radio airplay at the time, and MTV (in their first years) wanted to try to break new music. The famous tv station put “Hungry Like the Wolf” into heavy rotation, playing it four times a day. The exposure eventually helped propel the single into the top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100.
