His name is Rod, and he dances on the sand...
This video from Rod Stewart looks awfully familiar...
Oh no, no, no. Rod, what did you do? Just take Duran Duran's "Rio" video and have your lanky figure digitally added?
A little irony here: In the early 80s, when Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon's first saw photos of his future wife, supermodel Yasmin Le Bon, he found her number and called her up to ask her for a date. Thinking it was a hoax, Yasmin told Simon she'd rather date Rod Stewart and hung up!
