It was an immediate hit in the band's native UK, reaching #12 on the UK Singles Chart on 21 February, and did even better in Australia, hitting #8 to become Duran Duran's first Top 10 hit anywhere in the world. The song later appeared on the band's eponymous debut album ''Duran Duran'', released in June, 1981. ==About the song== "Planet Earth" begins with a slow synthesised sweep backed with electronic rhythm, but the real rhythm section of throbbing bass and crisp drums soon kick in. Muted guitar carries the up-and-down throbbing as the singer joins in. The song was the first to explicitly acknowledge the fledgling New Romantic fashion movement, with the line ''"Like some New Romantic looking for the TV sound"''. The original demo had an extra verse at the end, as can be heard in the Manchester Square Demo version, released in 2009: "I came outside I saw the nightfall with the rain, Sheet lightning flashes in my brain, Whatever happened to the world we used to know? I've got you coming over fear now." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Planet Earth (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
