"Yo Bad Azizi" is a Duran Duran song, released by EMI in 1990.

About the song

The is written by Duran Duran and was released as the B-side track on their 1990 single "Serious". The track is an experimental song built around a lyric from "Is There Something I Should Know?"; "Yo Bad Azizi" as a nuclear war", a corruption of "You're about as easy as a nuclear war" due to the way vocalist Simon Le Bon sings the line. This was reportedly prompted by a fan's letter asking Le Bon what "yo bad azizi" meant. The song did not appear on their 1990 album Liberty.
