"Duel" is a song by Morganne Matis and was her first official single.
It was released in March, 2004 not long after Morganne was voted out of the French TV talent show Star Academy (France) peaking the fifth position. Duel was successful both commercially and musically peaking No.23 on French official singles charts and remaining in the top 40 for 12 weeks. It also peaked No.20 in Belgium (Wallonia) and remained in charts for 4 weeks.
It was later added to the artist's full length album Une fille de l'ere which released in 2006.
Duel is a 1971 television (and later full-length theatrical) thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Richard Matheson, based on Matheson's short story of the same name. It stars Dennis Weaver as a terrified motorist stalked on a remote and lonely road by the mostly unseen driver of a mysterious tanker truck.
David Mann is a middle-aged salesman driving on a business trip. On a two-lane highway in the California desert, he encounters a grimy tanker truck, traveling slower than the speed limit and expelling sooty diesel exhaust. Mann overtakes, but the truck roars past him and slows down again. Mann overtakes again; the truck blasts its horn and Mann leaves it in the distance.
After arriving at a gas station Mann phones his wife, who is upset with him after an argument the previous night. The gas station attendant refills Mann's car and mentions that it needs a new radiator hose, but Mann refuses the repair.
Back on the road, the truck, which had stopped next to Mann at the gas station catches up and blocks Mann’s path each time he attempts to pass. After antagonising Mann for some time, the unseen driver waves him past indicating it is safe to overtake, but when Mann attempts to pass he almost strikes an oncoming vehicle. Realising the truck driver was trying to trick him into a fatal collision, Mann passes the truck again, using an unpaved turnout next to the highway.
Duel was an ITV game show based on a format by Francophone production company French TV, hosted by Nick Hancock, broadcast on Saturday evenings. It ran from 19 January 2008 to 5 April 2008.
Each 'Duel' consisted of two contestants, who each began the game with 10 poker chips, which in turn each have the same monetary value. They were asked multiple-choice general knowledge questions without time limits, each with four possible answers, one of which was correct. The contestants were asked to cover the answer they believed to be correct with their chip; if they were unsure, they were permitted to cover up to four answers with their chips, to ensure that they had a chip on the right answer when revealed. Once satisfied they had done so, each contestant was asked to confirm their answer by pressing the 'Lock Down' button, at which point the further placement or removal of chips was halted. Contestants retained chips placed on correct answers. Each chip placed on a wrong answer was collected by the house and added £1,000 to the rolling jackpot, which began at a base £100,000.

In phonetics and phonology, a semivowel or glide is a sound phonetically similar to a vowel sound but functions as the syllable boundary, rather than as the nucleus of a syllable. Examples of semivowels in English are the consonants y and w, in yes and west. Written /j w/ in IPA, y and w are near to the vowels ee and oo in seen and moon, written /iː uː/ in IPA.
Semivowels form a subclass of approximants. Although "semivowel" and "approximant" are sometimes treated as synonymous, most authors agree that not all approximants are semivowels although the exact details may vary from author to author. For example, Ladefoged & Maddieson (1996) do not consider the labiodental approximant [ʋ] to be a semivowel while Martínez-Celdrán (2004) proposes that it should be considered one.
In the International Phonetic Alphabet, the diacritic attached to non-syllabic vowel letters is U+032F ̯ COMBINING INVERTED BREVE BELOW. Additionally, there are dedicated symbols for four semivowels that correspond to the four close cardinal vowel sounds:
Go on and lie I've heard it all before
You had no shame
This pain I feel you've never known
The rain outside is shifting in the wind
The road is looking lonelier
Alone again
Love is real
Then love goes on and on
The words you say condemn you
As the guilty one
I guess you're not the kind you claim to be
Always looking out to get your love for free
Could you lie and say you love me just a little
One more wrong will keep us one more night
When quiet fades at the light of day
I see the truth
It's on your face again
When morning breaks my heart won't understand
Spend a lifetime raising houses on the sand
The rain outside is shifting in the wind
The road is looking lonelier
Alone again
Could you lie and say you love me just a little
One more wrong will keep us one more night
When quiet fades at the light of day
I see the truth
