Duran Duran Meet El Presidente Meet El Presidente is the 16th single from Duran Duran, and the third single from the Notorious album. According to a studio report in Star Hits magazine, one of the early drafts of this song was called One of the Faithful. A demo version using that name can be found on several bootlegs. The album version of the song is considerably different from the version used on the single and remixes and on the video. The album version has a slightly slower tempo, while the other versions use stronger basslines, a horn section, increased percussion (most notable during the lyric Hell has no fury like a young girls ego), and female backing vocals (including a recurring Ooh ooh hook). In these ways, the non-album version is somewhat more similar to songs recorded for the subsequent Big Thing album than it is to other songs on Notorious. Its unclear if the two versions of the song are different recordings or if they are remixes of a single recording, though comparing the vocals seems to indicate that they are from the same master take. Duran Duran played this song, among others, live on the final episode of British music show The Tube.
