They played WHT on my radio and mentioned that Duran Duran has said that this song is about Bush's war in Iraq. Has anyone heard anything more about this? It certainly makes the lyrics mean something completely different.

Basically the band were watching the news one day, and the reporter asked a little boy in Iraq about what was going on over there.
The boy replied: "No one really knows what's going to happen tomorrow".
Lead singer Simon LeBon was really moved by this, and he wrote the song.
Opening line of the song is "Child, don't you worry....."

Club JAM! I didn't think this song would make the dance charts.. I'm a little curious what mix they are playing. I heard WHT on the radio for the first time last night. It was on "Hollywood Confidential" (I think that's what it was called). They talked about Andy and the passing of his father and then they played WHT.

Well, it will have officially tied "Sunrise" by tomorrow and that looks to be the end of it. But as the song says, "nobody knows."

WHT got its bullet back on Mediabase, so I am hoping it reaches #12 at least (so it beats "Sunrise")!
