"Yo Bad Azizi" is a song by Duran Duran, released as the B-side single to "Serious" by EMI in 1990.

About the song

Written by Duran Duran, 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 was reportedly prompted by a fan's letter asking Le Bon what "yo bad azizi" meant.

The song did not appear on the Liberty album.
