==About the song==
  ⚫
Written by [[Duran Duran]], this is an experimental recording built around a lyric from "[[Is There Something I Should Know?]]". The lyrics "Yo Bad Azizi as a nuclear war" is a corruption of "You're about as easy as a nuclear war", due to the way vocalist [[Simon Le Bon]] sings the line. This reportedly prompted a fan's letter asking Le Bon what "yo bad azizi" meant.
