Duran Duran fans, you took today off from work, right? You better have, because National Duran Duran Appreciation Day only comes once a year.

The genesis of the holiday is totally unclear -- and why August 10 is the chosen day is a total mystery -- but even Entertainment Weekly recognizes it.

I just hope the band spends the day locked inside a studio, coming up with an album that washes the bad taste of Red Carpet Massacre out of our mouths.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely am devoted to Duran Duran ... 100 percent. But I long ago gave up trying to figure out what any of their songs are about.
