Duran Duran Party Songs?

Ask Katy

Hi Katy...with the holiday season fast approaching, i have a question for any member of the band who can answer it....A few years back, a friend of mine gave me a cd with the songs "Good King Wenceslas" and "White Christmas", both sung by Duran Duran.The recordings sound like the band is at a party, with lots of laughter and commentary. What is the story behind these recordings? Was the band at a party or on a tv show? Anything you can remember would be great! I have been dying to know for years. Thanks so much.Happy Holidays!

THE BAND HAS NO MEMORY OF THIS AT ALL. SO IF IT WERE CERTAIN BAND MEMBERS AT A PARTY AND A TAPE RECORDER WAS SNUCK IN, THAT’S POSSIBLE OR MORE LIKELY, IMPOSTERS OR PRACTICAL JOKERS INVOLVED IN THIS PLOT…

* EDITOR'S NOTE: We have received many, many, many (!) emails about this. So we listened again and while band members agreed that it sounds like them, they really don't remember ever recording it - so perhaps it was indeed nicked from a party.
