MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

By May 9th of 1995…
one of the biggest bands of the ‘80s…
suddenly showed up covering a hip-hop classic.

Duran Duran with “White Lines.”

(Music Cut #2)

And this wasn’t some polished pop remake either.

Bassist John Taylor
wanted that same raw energy
the Beastie Boys were bringing in the early ‘90s.

So Duran Duran went OG –

and brought in
Grandmaster Melle Mel and the Furious Five.

They turned “White Lines” into something way heavier than people ever expected.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Twice as sweet as sugar, twice as bitter as salt
And if you get hooked, baby
It’s nobody else’s fault, so don’t do it!” – Duran Duran (Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel)
