This song has nothing to do with Brazil or Rio de Janeiro. Duran Duran only toured Brazil for the first time in 1988. 6 years after this song was written.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.175.173.85 ( talk • contribs) 13:43, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
I switched the "Music" tab back to "Arpeggiator," since the arp, in itself is not the focus of the music. it's just on of those things that Duran Duran was well remembered for. when more content on the on the song, is written, then it would make sense to put it under a "music" tab. ( Human historian 01:17, 4 May 2006 (UTC))
The "About the song" section starts with this ludicrously America-centric opening paragraph.
"The song did not attract much notice in the United States upon its initial global release, but a slightly retouched version by remixer David Kershenbaum became a favourite among deejays who heard the EP Carnival. After the band's breakthrough hit "Hungry Like the Wolf" stormed MTV and scaled the American charts in December of 1982, radio programmers paid closer attention to the catchy melody and insistent, intricate bass line of "Rio", and Capitol Records reissued the single for the American market to great success."
Is the success of a British band's single in the US charts really the most notable thing "about the song"? I hardly think so. 81.19.57.146 12:17, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone know the fate of the yacht used in the video? I had seen some years ago that it was in rather a neglected state. Perhaps a Google will solve things.
