Whenever a reference to mid-80s pop group Duran Duran occurs in [Wittertainment](Wittertainment), it will be deliberately mispronounced as "Durran Durran" in honour of former [Radio 1](Radio_1) DJ Simon Bates, who once - not paying attention - did that by mistake.

A similar thing happens with [chihooahooa](Beverly_Hills_Chihooahooa) dogs, although the originator of that is [Peter Powell](Peter_Powell), who made that sort of error so often that he once had the entire Colemanballs column in [Private Eye](Private_Eye) to himself.

For 22 years Durran Durran held the mantle of Worst James Bond Theme Ever with A View To A Kill, until replaced by Jack White and Alicia Keys' Another Way To Die for [Question Of Sport](Question_Of_Sport).
