How to Defend Your Musical Tastes

Actually, I like Duran Duran. They aren’t my favorite, but they made several songs I quite like. One of their songs has a lyric that I think is one of the best character descriptions I’ve ever seen.

“Going down to the disco where she's gonna star in some fiasco”

It contains no physical description, but you can picture the woman they’re talking about and you know exactly who she is.

Note from Missy: (pushes glasses up nose, clears throat) This lyric is from “Pretty Ones,” an unreleased demo from the Astronaut sessions.  I will also point out that my knowledge of Duran-lore meant I was laughing out loud to things in The Venture Brothers episode “Maybe No Go” that baffled Scott, which was kind of a nice feeling—for a brief time, I was the pop culture master!
