Just a perfect day
Drink Sangria in the park
And then later, when it gets dark
We go home

Just a perfect day
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie too
And then home

Oh it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

Just a perfect day
Problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
It's such fun

Just a perfect day
You made me forget myself
I thought I was someone else
Someone good

Oh it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow

Lou Reed said this was the best version he'd ever heard and.... He was bang on ❤

"I think Duran Duran's version of Perfect Day is possibly the best rerecording of a song of mine - I'm not sure that I sing as well as Simon sang it - I think he sings it better than I, if I could've sung it the way he did I would've, It wasn't for lack of trying, they recorded it the way I meant it which is a real big thrill for me so Thank you Duran Duran"
- Lou Reed, 1995

Best version of the song, Lou Reed absolutely loved it! ❤️

[eatjhutz]

I’ve never heard this cover version until I watched Fresh (2022). Indeed, such a perfect cover!

[ManicMindTrick]

Very dreamy version. His voice is so pure.

[krogdog]

Lou Reed said this was the best cover he's ever heard of any of his songs.

[smileforeleanorfrancis]

This is so dreamy. It's like I'm floating away.

Simon's vocals are amazing. Duran Duran Forever!!!

Duran Duran & INXS were the sexiest bands of the 80's mid-90's.

[erinfraise]

"I thought I was someone else, someone good." AAAGGHHH. It guts me every time! And the repetition of "You're gonna reap just what you sow" over and over like that horrible voice in our head always does. I mean... damn.

I was 17 years old when I first heard this song for the first time back in 1995. I fell in love with the song immediately and bought the single that very same weekend. I can still remember the ice cream cone drawing on the cover of the single. I had no idea it was a Lou Reed cover at the time. I thought it was such a sweet, romantic love song, the kind you dedicate to your high school sweetheart on the radio. It was until many years later as an adult that I realized the dark undertones with the final lyrics "You are going to reap just what you sow." Amazing lyrics and amazing layered performance by Duran Duran. I love this band to pieces. ❤❤❤

Loved Duran Duran when we were teens and young adults. Still love their music so much that decided to use it in our latest short, 2022 year in review. This group was part of our youth and brings back such amazing memories, so it is always nostalgic to hear them and this song, love their rendition of this amazing classic. Thank you guys for wonderful memories and great music.

Duran Duran never got the acclaim they deserved cuz they looked like male models, GREAT band

[moondrops]

Simon is underrated as a singer. So romantic and apparently superficial. Thank you they did an amazing version

[strangerrose]

Duran did the best version of this imho! x

[HeyDuffy]

I love that Lou Reed gave this rendition such high praise. Such an amazing and moving song he wrote and Duran Duran interpreted it perfectly.

[stonermuzyk]

A song with such power and grace. Pour the glass, walk around the place in your head you love the most and wait for the bomb to drop. Oh it's such a perfect day, I'm glad I spent it with you.

Классика! Ностальгия! Шедевр! Мурашки по коже! 💕💜💙💚

[LegendofTheCosmic]

Duran Duran were teenage angels who fell in love with the Art in the eARTh

[johnrappaport]

Best song on Thank You and one of the best songs this band has ever recorded. It's simply perfect.
