Someone Else Not Me

"Someone Else, Not Me" is the 30th single by Duran Duran, and the only single from the album Pop Trash.

About the song
The song is a melancholy ballad, and one of the few songs on the Pop Trash album with lyrics actually written by vocalist Simon Le Bon -- the rest were composed by bandmates Nick Rhodes and Warren Cuccurullo.

Music video
The video was the first to be created entirely in Macromedia Flash animation, by web design firm Fullerene Productions (who also created the band's Flash-based official website).

B-sides, bonus tracks and remixes
At Le Bon's request, the lyrics were translated into French and Spanish so he could record alternate versions, which were included as bonus tracks on various global releases:


 * "Un Autre Que Moi" ("Someone Else Not Me" en Français) - 4:19
 * "Alguien Más Que No Soy Yo" ("Someone Else Not Me" en Español) - 4:16

Chart positions
"Someone Else Not Me" only reached #53 in the UK a dissapointing placing considering most previous singles have hit the top 40, however it made the top 10 in Latvia, #1 in Poland, and #4 in Italy.
