iPod Song of the Day

I have nearly 5,500 songs on my iPod, and while I try to limit listening to the pure random of all of those tracks in favor of playlists I have made, I do try to listen to a sampling of random shuffle before I make the switch. So I'm going to start a new feature on here today for the one song that stands out in the proper shuffle setting. The first song is Duran Duran's "Union of the Snake."



The video is typical from the '80s, weird, goofy, and all fun. The song, though not as good as some other Duran Duran tracks, is still pretty solid with a pretty cool sounding chorus and standard issue keyboards and horns. As for the lyrics, I haven't the faintest clue as to what they're about. When it comes down to it, most lyrics by bands like Duran Duran are about girls, breaking up with girls, longing for girls, etc. This one doesn't seem to fit, though, and seems more along the lines of those for "Wild Boys," another awesome track. Ah, well, the point here isn't to dissect a track, but to showcase a cool one.
