Playing With Uranium

Playing With Uranium is the 3rd track from Duran Duran's 2000 Pop Trash album which was the last to feature the trio Simon Le Bon,Nick Rhodes and Warren Cuccurullo.There was no credited producer on the song except for "TV Mania" and Simon Le Bon's own record label "SYN Productions.The plan was to release the track in Italy "only" in 2001 but this never happened,instead the only release worldwide was a German 1 track 5" promo CD single issued by "Hollywood Records" and "only" for German radio station airplay.

Last issue on Hollywood Records
In March 2001, the band announced they had parted ways with Hollywood Records; Nick Rhodes said "Never was there a place that felt less like a record company: Seven giant dwarves hold up the building". "You're listening to these people, and finally I had to say", 'How funny that your corporate logo is a large pair of ears, yet not one of you in here happens to have any".

Lyrics
In for an evening Of light entertainment And who would believe you Could worry the neighbours? Come on over to my place Playing with uranium If it blows up in your face See you on the other side Come on over to my place Playing with uranium Reinvent the human race You just got the invitation We go undiscovered 'Cause people are careless One way or another They'll never forget us Come on over to my place Playing with uranium And if it blows up in your face See you on the other side Come on over to my place Never be the same again Reinvent the human race You just got the invitation Playing with uranium Playing with uranium Never be the same again Because we're playing with uranium
