Hungry Like The Wolf
Duran Duran · Biggest & Best [2012]
Steam in the subway, earth is a fire
Do dodo do dodo do dodo do dodo do doo doo
Woman, you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do dodo do dodo do dodo do dodo do doo doo
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do dodo do dodo do dodo do dodo do doo doo
High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight
You feel my heat, I'm just a moment behind
Do dodo do dodo do dodo do dodo do doo doo
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine, I'm after you
Mouth is alive, all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Burning the ground, I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Hungry Like The Wolf
Released in 1982, "Hungry Like The Wolf" stands as a defining anthem of the synth-pop era, spearheaded by Duran Duran's charismatic frontman Simon Le Bon. The track exemplifies the band's signature blend of new wave aesthetics and polished production, featuring a distinctive synthesizer-driven melody that became inextricably linked to the group's global rise. Originally recorded for their debut album *Rio*, the song was later reissued on various compilation sets, including the 2012 *Biggest & Best* collection. Its enduring popularity stems from its infectious rhythm and the iconic video, which cemented the band's status as pioneers of the 1980s visual music culture. The composition remains a staple of the genre, frequently covered and referenced in subsequent pop recordings.
