“Say the Word” by Arcadia

"Say the Word" was the last of Arcadia's five singles, the Duran Duran offshoot signing off with a song recorded for the soundtrack to the film Playing for Keeps. Atlantic put it out in the US in September 1986, with Alex Sadkin producing.

The video didn't bother with fresh footage: it stitched together clips from Arcadia's earlier videos and cut in scenes from the movie, and a later edit without the film scenes surfaced on Duran Duran's official YouTube page. Collectors, check the American seven-inch: its A-side is billed as the "LP version", but it runs well short of the soundtrack original's five-plus minutes, and that label is simply a misprint.
