De groepsnaam is ontleend aan de naam van de boosaardige wetenschapper Durand Durand in de cultfilm Barbarella uit 1968 (met in de hoofdrol Jane Fonda en als regisseur haar toenmalige echtgenoot Roger Vadim), waarin een astronaut uit de 41e eeuw, Barbarella (Jane Fonda), naar de aarde wordt gestuurd om doctor Durand Durand (Milo O'Shea) een halt toe te roepen.

Songtekst

See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights flashing out it's so bright
Then walk right out to the fourline track
There's a camera rolling on her back, on her back
And I sense the rhythm humming in a frenzy all the way down her spine

Girls on film, girls on film, girls on film, girls on film

Lipstick cherry all over the lens as she's falling
In miles of sharp blue water coming in where she lies
The diving man's coming up for air cause the crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair, by the hair
And she wonders how she ever got here as she goes under again

Girls on film (two minutes later), girls on film
Girls on film (got your picture), girls on film

Wider baby smiling you just made a million
Fuses pumping live heat twisting out on a wire
Take one last glimpse into the night I'm touching close I'm holding bright, holding tight
Give me shudders in a whisper take me up till I'm shooting a star

Girls on film (she's more than a lady), girls on film
Girls on film (two minutes later), girls on film
Girls on film (see you together), girls on film
Girls on film (see you later), girls on film
Girls on film (what ya doing), girls on film
