This is a good remix, but I've always liked that there was no official remix of it, that perhaps they didn't want to taint the purity of it, in the same way that Morrissey doesn't approve of remixes of his work, both solo and with The Smiths. Now, what I never understood was that there was no remix of "A View To A Kill." That song was made for it. My sad Duran story: I used to have Le Bon hair, but now it's gone all Cuccurullo. “Save A Prayer” is my favourite Duran song and is still in rotation with “Space Oddity” as my all-time favourite song.

It never worked. But no record would have worked, because it was me trying to do the seducing. I didn't have any skills back then. Hell, I don't have any now. <br><br>Actually, here's a funny story related to the song. When I was in college, I was playing Robotron at an arcade with my DJ partner before we were going to work, and I was dolled up with my 1988 big hair, white dress shirt and black pants. Some high school girl walked over to us, looked at me and started singing, "Don't say a prayer for me now, save it 'til the morning after," then left. Clearly on a dare from her friends, but I thought it was hilarious. That's the look I was going for. I guess I got it right.
