Am I the only one who can't listen to Hungry Like The Wolf anymore?


I just want to know if this movie had that kind of effect on people. I listened to some of this song tonight and I could only make it through about a minute. I just couldn't get out of my head "Diane Downs, child murderer." Did Duran Duran's song have this kind of effect on you after watching?

You have your opinions I have mine.

Ahhh I'm so glad I'm not the only one!!

I agree completely. I still cannot listen to the song. The second I hear it, all I can picture is her bopping to the beat at the trial. The song is officially ruined for me.

Thank you for responding. I knew somehow I wasn't the only one who was affected this way by the movie.

I haven't seen the film and I have to ask, what happens in the film to make this the case?

The movie was based on a woman who tried to murder her children and tried to pass it off as someone else doing it. This song is playing in car's cassette player as she's driving them on a deserted road, and when she's trying to kill them. When it's being played during the trial, she's found bopping her head to it.

For some people a certain song can have a lasting effect on people, being it positive or negative. For this song some people can't help but think about this movie and/or story when they hear it. As a result when they hear it, they have to find something else to listen to.

Add me to the list, too.
Can't listen to it any more...








"We're all out of cornflakes. F.U." Took me three hours to figure out F.U. was Felix Ungar!

I can still listen to it but that scene always pops into my head.

I've now updated my profile, it's still crap

reply

Yeah me too, whenever I hear that song now, I always think about this movie and that scene in general.

I thought I was the only one who couldn't stand that song anymore. When it comes on the radio, I instantly picture Farrah Fawcett nodding along cheerfully to the beat during the courtroom scene.

My sister hates this song because of this movie.

I still love it.

I`m sorry for my lack of manners, but I`m not used to escorting men.

I never cared for the song to begin with (I did like DD's "Rio" but found there songs too redundant... buy anyway) but we all seem to have that one song that is "our song" that touches some part of our psyche so much that it becomes a part of our identity... can almost illustrate who and what we are.

I can see why some of you can't listen to the song anymore; Charlie Manson's obsession with "Helter Skelter" did that to a lot of people a decade earlier.
