I think that that was the only line of the song that any one of us knew, **BUT HEY, has anyone answered the OP yet?** ---

Sheesh, even I know this one, and I only ever listen to Gilbert & Sullivan. It’s Rio Rio by Duran. Blame It On Rio, by the way, was an excellent movie for fourteen year old boys who really weren’t seeing enough titties on TV. This was before the Internet, y’know. I still have that movie on VHS somewhere… or rather, just the scene where she takes a polaroid of herself on the bed. (I know it’s not really that kind of forum, but I’m WAY too dumb to contribute to most of the other posts. Tittiemovies I know about.) ---

> [@Bad News Baboon](#): > > This thread is _Taylor_ made for a Duran fan. I can \*not \* believe you brought Taylor Dayne into this conversation. Taylor Dayne belongs to the Dark Side of 80s music, the side that we’re trying very hard to combat. The ritual for getting rid of the Taylor Dayne vibes is to chant random phrases from good (or at least amusing) 80s music in order to counteract the badness. My God! What have I done? Go west! Life is peaceful there! ---
