Full article:

John Taylor (Duran Duran) : We were making so many records, we couldn't sit down and try to creatively plan our videos. Wild Boys was the first time that we wrote a song for a video. We had talked with (video director) Russell (Mulcahy) about The Wild Boys, the William Burroughs book, which he wanted to develop into a full-length feature. He talked to us about writing a song for it. We wrote the song, and he put the ideas that he developed for the feature in the video. That was the first time that we had written a song, thinking about how it was going to look.
