Duran Duran Get Caught in Justin Timberlake’s Unstoppable Plot To Bring Sexy Back

9/20/07, 6:14 pm EST

First 50 Cent partnered with Justin Timberlake on a track about porn (“Ayo Technology”), now Duran Duran have fallen victim to JT’s SexyBack wiles. The band just shot an X-rated video featuring topless models for “Falling Down,” the first single off their November 13th album Red Carpet Massacre, the NME reports. The track, which was co-written and produced by collaboration machine Timberlake, was initially inspired by frontman Simon Le Bon’s experience recovering from a motorcycle accident in 1992. In the clip, however, the song’s dark themes are represented by a collection of beautiful naked women in rehab (the bandmembers portray doctors) and Le Bon swears this all makes sense somehow. “The concept of models in rehab has so much to do with what the song’s about,” he claims. “It’s very sad but there’s a kind of beauty in it as well. The song is about arrogance and pride, as well as personal breakdowns and the hope for redemption and the resilience of the human spirit.” Sounds … deep. We’ll have to see how it stacks up to this year’s other porn-tastic video, Rilo Kiley’s “Moneymaker.”

The album is amazing. The band is amazing. The video could well be amazing. Or not. But it’ll still likely be an improvement on their last few video efforts.

Don’t overthink it, Goodman.
