CSS cover Duran Duran for Rio Olympics

05 August 2016, 07:14 | Written by Laurence Day

Brazilian dance punks CSS are helping get in the Olympic spirit with a pumped-up version of Duran Duran's "Rio".

Simon Le Bon and John Taylor - members of the '80s new wave outfit - also contribute to the mix.

CSS have flown under the radar since the release of 2013 album Planta, but apparently couldn't pass up the opportunity to commemorate the Olympic Games in their first Brazilian (and South American) visit.

Announcing the cover via Facebook, the group write: "In the spirit of the Rio Olympic Games, we did a cover of Duran Duran's Rio, featuring backing vocals from Simon Le Bon, and John Taylor playing the bass (!!!!!) - which obviously was a huge honor to us! It's available on Itunes worldwide!"

Listen to the cover of "Rio" below.
