"Wild Boys (Wilder Than Wild Boys Extended Mix)" - The Hidden Vocals!
September 15th, 2013

I have a couple of questions regarding "Wild Boys (Wilder Than Wild Boys Extended Mix)" and have been wondering this since 1984 when the song came out.

At around the 4:50 mark on song, there is a phrase being said (I won’t even attempt to "interpret" it!). Back in 1984, a friend of mine who sang/recorded with the local boy choir took my Wild Boys tape to the recording studio and told me that "phrase" was "Duran Duran's Duranies rock on" being played backwards! Is this true? When you listen to it, the last three words being said sound the same so it could be "Duran Duran’s Duranies".

Also, at around the 5:35 and 6:10 marks of the song, there are these "cawing" bird sounds-my friend said those sounds were the words "Wild Boys" sped up at a high speed.

Could you or any of the guys tell me if it's true? Any other songs with these "secret" messages?

Thank you for all your hard work! Relay my regards to Duran Duran and please ask them to come to Hawaii!

Aloha,
Laurie



Dear Laurie,

This is far too good a rumour for me to dispute any of it! Well done!

Best,
Nick

Well, I think in Nick speak, that means he has no damn clue.

[Klingoncelt]

Exactly.

It would have been nice to have someone that was around and paying attention at the time answer the question.

I've noticed that Nick hasn't been very helpful with his answers in a while.

[duranietillrcm]

Maybe he's only wanting to answer questions about the NEW project with Warren, and gets tired of the old Duranie style questions.

[Klingoncelt]

Katty only posts 1 or 2 questions a month anymore, so I expect better quality answers.

Yeah, I know, it's Duran Duran, what's quality to them?

[duranietillrcm]

It would be nice of them to remember SOME stuff from the early days.

[Klingoncelt]

Yeah, it's funny that John and Andy can remember events from their childhood, but DD can't recall later events, most of which were documented.

[duranietillrcm]

Too many drugs....

[Klingoncelt]

Yup.
