Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran Duran

"Hungry Like the Wolf" is a seminal music video by Duran Duran, released in 1982. Directed by Russell Mulcahy, it was filmed in Sri Lanka, capturing a cinematic quality that echoed films like "Raiders of the Lost Ark." The video features Simon Le Bon chasing an exotic woman through markets and jungles, while the other band members search for him. This narrative, combined with lush visuals, helped establish Duran Duran as a major force in the 1980s music scene. The video's impact was significant, especially in the U.S., where it received heavy rotation on MTV. This exposure propelled the song to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned Duran Duran their first Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video in 1984. The video's blend of adventure and sensuality remains iconic, symbolizing the band's influence on 80s pop culture. Its memorable style and themes have endured, making it a classic of the era.
