David Bowie - All The Young Dudes

[xDadnerbDx]

IBlueFellow sent me here :)

[Jormungandor]

I can never remember, who did it first? Bowie or Mott The Hoople? Both are incredible.

[thekillers1stfan]

@Jormungandor Mott did it first but Bowie wrote it for them

[Jormungandor]

@thekillers1stfan And this is why it's such a damn awesome song. Thanks man!

[baytownbert2]

Hardcore Bowie fan! I saw him in the diamond Dogs tour in L.A. in 1974.

[TheManWithTVEyes]

Do you eat fleas and swive in trees?

[TheFingerstyleGuitar]

Ian Hunter with Mick Ronson on the Live 'Welcome to the Club' - best version. Hunter undeniably the most under appreciated talent out there. His first four, and last three albums are his best.

[nickshingler]

This is great, love those saxophones! It sounds like a very modern version - could it be a Toy out-take?

[jjaxma]

still the sexiest man alive... love you .xxxxxxxxxxx

[nikobeza]

(Y)



[RhunDraco]

Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden also did a cover of this, on his first solo album, Tattooed Millionaire. That's also a great version.

[Cocarat206]

Bowie may be in his 60's but everyone who knows him can tell -- He's still a Young Dude!

[HolgerHelfert]

such a great song. i love it when ian hunter sing it, but naturalle bowie is better, hehehe

[ifwekill]

sexiest man alive, when asked about his sexuality he said "i'm a trisexual, cause ill try anything once".

[StewartCarolan]

Funky littlee boat race = face in "Cockney (London) rhyming slang

[lennox2]

The chorus lyrics are:

All the young dudes

Carry the news

Boogaloo dudes

Carry the news...

Absolutely nothing to do with Google.

Great song from a real talent !!

[RodrigoPecine]

@lennox2 i swear they said it ''All the young dudes,carry the nUKES.....''' hahah guess I was wrong :)

[StratfordOnGirl]

I love this song, with its playful lyrics and Bowie's great voice.

btw, does anyone know from where that photo in the video is? I've always seen it being used but I never know its source.

[skhrumfagen]

amazing photo!!!

[monkeylennon]

Diz iz like the kinda sik tunez i write

[ioriorioriorio]

stand up comedy!! beatle- esque

[DanBlabbers]

I don't care if he gave away success/fame/profits. I'm glad just having a version of him singing it so fine as he does

[hoolygoo]

i heard and like ozzy osbournes version and loved it thinking it must have been the original because id never been able to put an artist to it before, i think i just found my original hero of this song!

[Scholick]

Haha i totally got the lyrics wrong." All the young dudes. carry the news. google those dudes and carrys them views" x)

[brisinger2]

@Scholick Lol, I don't think google was around when this song was written.

[overner2001]

a live version of this appeared on "David Live" album from 1974. I did not know he had recorded it in a studio, just knew the Mott version. Great anthem from that era.

[bodgely]

i love this song.......but i love bruce dickinsons one the most

[bulbkit]

Bowie's version has more of a mantra quality, how it carries on at the end, that gives it more weight. both versions are fun to listen to, but bowie gets the meaning across.

[adric137]

one of his best songs!

[tedGEGI]

mott the hoople's version is best

[ritter89]

Always like this better than Mott's version.

[dante4d]

From the versions I know, I like Bruce Dickinson's one the most...

[MorningShot4]

What album is this song from?

[RiseOfAnarchy34]

@MorningShot4 ziggy Stardust

[nights1515]

@RiseOfAnarchy34 Actually I think it was Aladdin Sane but it came out as a bonus extra song with the album.

[Unell08]

no cover can beat it!!! Bowie - is Mozart of 21 century!!!

[gta4megafan]

I remember reading in a rolling stones magazine that this song has an apocalyptic vibe to it, still looking for it

[cheruben32]

grande david bowie eres unico

[goozerdog]

mott's version is way better in my opinion

[TheNaomiengland]

This is my tune. Why hasn't David Bowie been awarded the obe?

[andymouse123]

bowie write this for a then struggling band

mott the hoople he also produced the album

[ziggy95]

@andymouse123 yea he helped Mott out, but later as they were not "very grateful" he took the song back

[solangesand]

how is this similar to 21 guns by greenday?

[r0xtartr1n1]

@solangesand I wanted to kno the same thing!!! I dont see it.

[bualtserrof]

Great song

[janette339]

i think i like his version better than mott the hoople :/

[DementisVenustas]

Would make sense, since Bowie actually wrote it.

[soulchosen]

I like the Mott the Hoople version too! Great song!

[bobbyt912]

how about ozzy's version

[soulchosen]

Not so keen on that

[Maryha77]

@bobbyt912 Ozzy's cover is the best version of this song ;)

[janlulde3e]

They could make the song so much better of Bowie only keep it by writing because he's voice isn't really beatifull. I know no one can make a better version because this is the orriginaly one but i think the version of mott the hoople sounds better if you look to the voice! Bruce dickenson have a cd calls tattood milionar and he have to covered this song and that sounds so good!

[thexfiles214]

what are you talking about, bowies voice is great

[duxberry1958]

two songs by bowie i love this one and hero's

[lekezenman]

Young dudes: copulate ,fornicate all wild salmon you can eat...drink .... then start again!

MAN OF THE EARTH!

[90zosoman09]

This was written by bowie but covered by mott the hoople.

[ggonnz]

the beginning of this song makes me cry so muchh and i dont know why

[thewish4]

bowie saw mott,liked them and heard they were breaking up,so handed them dudes,which he wrote...the rest is history.

[rindavu]

mott the hoople! it was like their only hit i think..unless david bowie did also recorded a version himself..not sure...funny how these things go, right? they were a straight band and their only claim to fame and glory was a gay song..i don't mean it in a bad way at all, its just ironic =]

[leonoel42]

This is not a gay song. Why do you think that? It's quite the opposite. Basically get drunk and shag (women). It;'s a rejection of the hippie dream that went before it.

[Barnox]

I seem to remeber a guitar intro like this in another song... any help?

[PunkityShmunkity]

hahahaha

[George12String]

Mott the Hoople did thing song, whom david origionally wrote the song for (kinda). Maybe that's what your thinking of?

[Barnox]

Nah, a friend found it.

Ballad of Maxwell Demon, from the film Velvet Goldmine. Based-ish on David Bowie.

Thanks anyway. Not that I'd heard of Matt the Hoople before I heard this song.

[poppyseedgurl]

Maybe 21 Guns by Green day???

[annesolano]

Yeah, I heard this on Clueless and then my sister kept listening to 21 Guns and it was similar.

[mabdog]

ZIGGY STARDUST?

[kavinrocky]

yes

[bonzodog10]

May have been, All The Young Dudes

by mott the hoople.

[minigiganten]

sounds like the beatles - hey jude-ish dosent it?

[yortonjunction]

I must diagree , both bowies, and motts versoins are both good. its just music, and for me the lyrics sum me up as a young man in the 1950;s,

appreciate your comment, YJ

[stardark113055]

@yortonjunction mine was the 70's,,,, know what ya mean. ;)

[thewolfboyjack]

even though Bowie wrote it. I prefer the Mott version myself, but Bowie wrote the song for Mott to keep them from breaking up.

[Auswurfling]

i love this song and i love david bowie. ;)

[samero86]

great song!

[TVC17]

Bowie mentioned in a interveiw when he gave Mott the Hoople this song he was giving away a hit....he was right....

[PeacfullEasyFeeling]

@TVC17 ya but both mott's and david's versions are good
