Just a year before they had a Seventies couch. Earth Tones. They now had an Eighties couch.

"Go big, go arty, go comical, go hardcore."

Just a year before they had a Seventies couch. Earth Tones. They now had an Eighties couch.

Time Magazine's Man of the Year for 1982 was "The Computer." That could've been on the glass coffee table.

As for hardcore:

Wild boys fallen far from glory
Reckless and so hungered
On the razors edge you trail
Because there's murder by the roadside
In a sore afraid new world
They tried to break us 
Looks like they'll try again
Wild boys (wild boys) never lose it
Wild boys (wild boys) never chose this way
Wild boys (wild boys) never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

Go big, go arty, go comical, go hardcore: sometimes Duran Duran went four-for-four.
