Duran Duran

Never underestimate the power of scantily-clad women.

Duran Duran’s Rio has been named the greatest music video of all time in an MTV poll.

The 1982 video, featuring the band in suits on a Caribbean beach being teased by scantily-clad women, beat favorites such as Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Madonna’s Like a Prayer to claim the title.

I’m not sure how Rio beat out Aphex Twin’s Come To Daddy, though.

Duran Duran may win this round.

But Señor Coconut , below, may get the prize for “most original cover”. Are you ready for some more cha-cha-cha?
