Rock band Duran Duran comes from
Birmingham and is considered the most important representative of the so-called
Second British Invasion, by which the unstoppable popularity of British groups
in the United States is meant.
In 1978 the men of Duran Duran regularly performed
in their hometown in a club called Barbarella's, after the trash film of that
name starring Jane Fonda (1967). One of the supporting parts in Barbarella is played by Milo O'Shea, acting as the wacky concierge Dr. Durand-Durand (by which the name Duran Duran has been sufficiently explained).
It only remains
for us to mention here that doctor Durand-Durand tries to let Barbarella die of delight
by using an advanced, violently pulsating machine.

I thought they performed at the Rum Runner primarily.
Why wouldn't you post their song, "Electric Barbarella?!" :)
Changed the clip to Electric Barbarella, thanks for the tip!
Good to know about Duran Duran performing at the Rum Runner. We are looking into it, perhaps we can come up with a few more details worth mentioning.
Do you know a different explanation? Were you there when it happened? Post a comment! >>
