"Hungry Like the Wolf" remains one of the English rock band's biggest hits, and despite never topping the music charts, it is a true rock classic. The song also has an interesting origin story.
Although the beat and instrumental work on the song are certainly important and memorable, some fans really love the unique lyrics, which are from the point of view of someone "on the hunt" for a woman. One part says, "I howl and I whine, I'm after you/ Mouth is alive, all running inside/ And I'm hungry like the wolf."
According to a feature in Blender magazine from 2002, the lyrics were actually inspired by the classic children's story of Little Red Riding Hood, which is about a little girl being hunted by a wolf in the woods. Talking about Le Bon's work on the lyrics and melody for the song, guitarist Andy Taylor said, "He has a great ear for putting a melody to a bunch of chords. I didn’t realize it at the time, but his inspiration for that lyric was Little Red Riding Hood!”
Despite never reaching No. 1, Duran Duran's "Hungry Like the Wolf" remains a new wave classic that is timeless for rock fans.
