Duran Duran/ Arcadia - Election Day

submitted by Issykitty

1 decade 6 years 11 months 3 weeks ago

This is the full-length music video for the song 'Election Day'.

Interesting facts (from Wiki):
Election Day was the first single released by the Duran Duran off-shoot band, Arcadia. It was released by Parlophone Records in October 1985 and subsequently hit the top ten on both sides of the Atlantic. Along with the Arcadia members, Election Day features Grace Jones on vocals and speech segments.

The dark and moody video — with Gothic imagery inspired by Jean Cocteau's 1946 film, La Belle et la Bête — was shot in and around Paris in late September 1985. It was directed by Roger Christian. There was a short cameo appearance by William S. Burroughs. A documentary film was made on the filming and production of the music video.
