{ His name is Leo and he dances on ol' Sam... }

oooooh!  Well, we seem to have a Duran Duran fan out
there.  Funny...I thought there might be a minimum
age requirement for the net...(Sorry...I couldn't
resist the comment.  Please don't hit me.)

The real problem with the concept of "bad" lyrics is
that those people who feel that the lyrics are dumb
may be missing the point.  They may be too deep for
our limitted thought processes.

The other problem is that some songs are more dance
oriented where, as our Duran Duran fan put it, "The
Lyrics Don't Matter."

Thus, the lyrics are going to be silly...but who cares?
I'm not an amazing Duran Duran fan, I admit, but they 
do write some good danceable stuff and I love to dance.
They aren't trying to write music to make you think,
they are trying to write music that you don't have to
think about.  Personally, after spending a whole day 
working on a procedure, program, document, or whatever
I like to do something that is positively mindless,
whether it's watching Gilligan's Island on TV, going
to see Rocky Horror, or listening to Duran Duran.
