<P> Rhodes came up with an idea for the backing track in the car while he was going to the studio . He started playing with the Roland Jupiter 8 keyboard , while singer Simon Le Bon was working with the lyrics . The lyrics were inspired by Little Red Riding Hood , and the repeating of the word `` do '' at the end of each verse takes its melody from the instrumentals in Gordon Lightfoot 's song `` If You Could Read My Mind '' . Andy Taylor worked out a Marc Bolan - ish guitar part , a very Marshall - sounding Les Paul guitar lick that was added to the track . Then the bass and drums were added , and the whole track was finished that day , including Le Bon 's vocal melody and lyrics . The laugh at the beginning of the song and the screams during the song 's fade - out were performed and recorded live by Rhodes ' girlfriend at the time . </P>
