REMBERT EXPLAINS

Rembert Explains the ’80s: Duran Duran's “Hungry Like the Wolf” Video

By Rembert Browne at

Welcome back to our series Rembert Explains the ’80s. Every so often, we'll e-mail 25-year-old Rembert Browne a video from the 1980s that he hasn't seen. Rembert will write down his thoughts as he's watching it, then we'll post those thoughts here. This week's installment was selected by Grantland editor-in-chief Bill Simmons: "Hungry Like The Wolf" by Duran Duran. If you have an idea for a future episode of Rembert Explains the '80s, e-mail us at hollywood@grantland.com.

Rembert's note: The album cover for Rio will always be one of my favorites. That girl's earrings were so long.

0:03 That laugh in the beginning was the work of a little Indian girl? Never would have guessed, but that's just the CUTEST.

0:08 Where was this shot? This doesn't look like Great Britain.

0:19 They are the only white guys in this village. Are they on a study abroad program? What is this?

SONGS OF THE WEEK

Songs of the Week: 'Oscar Preview' Edition

By Molly Lambert at

Even though there are only two songs officially nominated for awards this year at the Oscars, that's no reason you can't make a 2012 Oscars mixtape anyway. We compiled some tunes related to and/or inspired by (loosely speaking!) this year's nominees. Maestro, play them off!

"Man or Muppet" - Jason Segel and Walter the Muppet (Oscar nominee)


Need a reedy-voiced inspirational ballad about maturing into adulthood for your Muppet movie? Bret McKenzie from Flight of the Conchords and Jason Segel are here with a '70s AM-flavored serenade to self-exploration. Segel can SANG, but we knew that already from "Lady L." (He can also play basketball, but that's another story.)
