“Too Much Information” by Duran Duran

"Too Much Information" was the third single from Duran Duran's 1993 self-titled album, their seventh, and it followed "Come Undone" out the door. Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Warren Cuccurullo wrote it, and the band produced it with John Jones.

In Britain it became their third top-40 hit off that record, and across the Atlantic it climbed to 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 and 26 in Canada. Cassette buyers in the UK got a sweetener: a free No Ordinary EP of live takes on "Hungry Like the Wolf", "Notorious" and "Come Undone", recorded at a Tower Records show a few months earlier. Nick Egan directed the video, and Music Week's Alan Jones gave the song three out of five, hearing less atmosphere than "Come Undone" and more weariness than "Ordinary World".
