Duran Duran invented pop, you know

Duran Duran's John Taylor has hit out at Madonna, accusing her of copying their colllaboration with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland.

"It wouldn't be the first time Madonna's copied us," the bassist added. "She's been doing it for years."

Imagine what it must be like being inside John Taylor's mind, twisting and turning every pop happening to reinforce the fact that Duran Duran are the most important and groundbreaking act of all time.

Remember that video where Madonna had highlights in her hair and mimed to a song? WELL DURAN DURAN DID IT FIRST.

And what about her song about dancing on an Spanish island? WELL DURAN DURAN DID A SONG ABOUT RIO WHICH WAS NEARLY EXACTLY THE SAME.

And that one time when she was the biggest female pop star on the planet and earned more than $150m from concert tickets in a single year? WELL DURAN DURAN... Erm... Oh, fuck.

John, if you're reading, here are a list of people who collaborated with Timbaland before you came up with the idea for the first time ever in history and then Madonna stole it:
