Dancing on the Valentine is a Duran Duran Video 45 released by PMI in the UK and Sony in the US in October 1984 (1984-10). It was released on VHS, Beta, Laserdisc, and Video8 (8mm) format.
Dancing on the Valentine is a collection of the three videos from Seven and the Ragged Tiger.
The title comes from the lyrics of "The Reflex": "You gone too far this time / But I'm dancing on the valentine". The artwork was also highly influenced by the release of "The Reflex" single, earlier in the year.
A re-release in 1991 combined Dancing on the Valentine with the band's previous two-track Video 45, Duran Duran.
Famous quotes containing the words dancing on the, dancing and/or valentine:
“I’ve learned one thing about life. We’re a good deal like that ball, dancing on the fountain. We know as little about the forces that move us, and move the world around us, as that empty ball does.”
—Ardel Wray, Edward Dien, and Jacques Tourneur. Dr. Galbraith(James Bell)
“It may be possible to do without dancing entirely. Instances have been known of young people passing many, many months successively, without being at any ball of any description, and no material injury accrue either to body or mind; Mbut when a beginning is made—when felicities of rapid motion have once been, though slightly, felt—it must be a very heavy set that does not ask for more.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“There would have to be something wrong with someone who could throw out a child’s first Valentine card saying, “I love you, Mommy.””
—Ginger Hutton (20th century)
