[poughkeepsiejohn1]

[Eggs4Eva]

Oh David you do make me smile :)

[windywinters]

[ucanseethejoin]

This was from 1979 when the record was out, the video show was on ITV before it moved to the BBC

[funkyalfonso]

Apparently he got the musicians to swap instruments in the studio.

[Shalimarune]

for goodness sake, the guy in the hat is Kenny Everett, go and wiki him. brilliant and lovely man, RIP.

[BayPeacelee]

@Shalimarune  He's not dead!

[LadyBowie1119]

After the guy in the hat says, "Now, chase me around and call me names." does David say something? If so, what? I thought I heard one of them say, "Don't swing!" but I'm not sure if that's right or even which one said it...

[TheBookWorm1718]

@LadyBowie1119 Somebody told me that he said 'names!', but there are 2 syllables to whatever it is so I'm not sure. But it sure is funny! And it was David that said it.

[LadyBowie1119]

@TheBookWorm1718

It's not just, "names," you're right about that as it is two syllables. It is funny and I realize it IS David. I wish I knew what it was he was saying... I guess it's not that important.

[LadyBowie1119]

I love how David tries to look calm and coll (and succeeds) while the other guy is bugging him!

I love the way David looks so calm while breaking the violin and then sticking the guy with the bow!

"Now! Chase me around and call me names!" LOL

[RedVynil]

What a silly song!

[TheGlugGlugClub]

there's old wave. there's new wave. and there's david bowie.

[ghodium]

that leg kickin thing he does looks so funny from the side

[BabylonWhore666]

Smoking! - and a Singer smoking..and a singer smoking indoors in a public place ..and a singer smoking, indoors, in a public place and ON TV!

Wow this must be older than I thought lol.

[chanctonbury63]

VIOLIN??? Fake!!!

[ozzfan1979]

" I was in the war, but I didn't see yoooou there".... lmfao!!

[CheetahLuver12]

this is hilarious.

classic Bowie dancing (even though it's not all that good... xD)

damn it, Bowie could you get any better?

oh wait. yes. :) <3

[delusionarium]

1:56



[monotrious]

Bowie cool as always!And Kenny as awesome as always!So funny.Love it!

[ferdinandsouz]

Woooow Bowie with a cigarret, satirizing machismo and with a fashion hair in 1970s. What a transgressional man.

[DivertingEcho]

OMG. Those days. I don't intend to downgrade Bowie. His music was very popular. However listening to this song or any other of his songs reminds me how simple and lame the music was in eighties. Kenny Everett however is still funny. British comedians are the best. And the british peolpe in general.

[ferdinandsouz]

@DivertingEcho In eighties? This song is from the end of 1970s =D

In fact it has a post punk felling.

[BowieGirl95]

@DivertingEcho This was released in the late 70s, not the 80s. You can tell because Bowie has an 80s haircut, and he is ALWAYS ahead of the times.

[DivertingEcho]

@BowieGirl95 Just barely in seventies. Bowie released this song in 1979 and I think that it was played and listened mostly in eighties. Anyway the Kenny Everett Show is definitely from eighties hence the eighties haircut. Yet another thing - I remember that Bowie recorded more songs in seventies than he did in eighties, but I still consider that he made his succeed in eighties. And that's why I associate him with eighties music.

[TheBookWorm1718]

@BowieGirl95 New year's Eve episode from '79 going into '80.

[CheetahLuver12]

@BowieGirl95 You're the one who took the username I was gonna use for youtube! xDDD

Ah well. Its cool. :3

[lescop78]

What a wonderful singer! But what a terrible actor...

[TheBookWorm1718]

3:00 Was that intentional or not?

[TheBookWorm1718]

Okay, I'm not familiar with Kenny Everett so can somebody explain why he's wearing a suit in the front and in the back he's wearing a bra and women's garters and stuff?

[TheBookWorm1718]

"Now, chase me around and call me names!" LOL But what DID David say after that when he was trying to stab him with the bow?

[lianjie1963]

@TheBookWorm1718 He said "Names!" because Kenny told him to (chase him round and call him Names).

[TheBookWorm1718]

@lianjie1963 That's what I thought he said. He is SO funny!

[Ellathegreatable]

I understand everetts pain. I've fought for people like bowie too :( but never got one :'(

[starmanlover]

Davids just such good fun - he's so good natured :]

[ram29jackson]

the end destroyed it

[MrGrahamFinch]

Kenny everett david bowie love it

[squareeyedgran]

Yes Bowie is very beautiful in a classic way. He is just magical to watch.a n AMAZING talent!!! Love him!!!

[LedZeppelinZaku1]

Bowie's dancing is epic

[clumpft]

ha ha fuck bowie, Everetts the man!!!

[EnglishTalkRight]

uber gay ness

[TheJesterGirl]

@EnglishTalkRight And it's FABULOUS!

[zzebowa]

Yes, he is beautiful, and I am a guy saying that!  Great music too.

[reetpeet]

Wow! That dates it! He' got a fag! :-)

[nothingnewsince82]

@kingofpunk1977 - Ok, ok! I humbly beg forgiveness, T2 was the business. But thats it.

[kingofpunk1977]

I saw this in April 1979 I was 12 years old. On this performance alone I had STOP WEARING FLARED TROUSERS & get a pair of Bowie Pegs. Now before any tosser starts saying "What about Punk blah blah blah I was wearing straights in 77". Your average working class kid in East London was still wearing flares. Want evidence . Check any episode of Minder/Professionals/Grange Hill1979 & even the Madness Baggy Trousers video shows your average kid

[kingofpunk1977]

@kingofpunk1977  Cont ....In flared trousers

[gamester57]

iggy pop is 5'1" not bowie, as in the song "I'm only five foot one, I've got a pain in my neck! I'm looking up in the city, what the hell what the heck!" etc

[claudefrog]

when your a boy, the boys will check you out. lol hahaha.

[soundisbliss]

i find it a bit gay, how he sings 'boys'

[nothingnewsince82]

We are not worthy. It really was all over by '82

[kansasinnovember]

@nothingnewsince82 HE SHOULD HAVE STOPPED AFTER SCARY MONSTERS,DON'T MOAN BOWIE FANS,YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT

[gamester57]

@kansasinnovember  Let's Dance is always a guilty pleasure though, eh?

[nothingnewsince82]

@kansasinnovember - True, but for all his shit music, I can forgive him everything because of Station to Station, Low and Heroes. In fact just Low is enough.

[nothingnewsince82]

@nothingnewsince82 - I will go one more. I forgive Bowie everything just for Breaking Glass.

[nickthelick]

@kansasinnovember Ok, personally, I think Scary Monsters was his last GREAT album, though Let's Dance is ok... Oh yeah, Outside, check THAT album out! It's with Eno again and fucking excellent! Try and get the 2cd version. =O)

[kingofpunk1977]

@nothingnewsince82 Tin Machine was worthy. Now you ADMIT IT

[TheSHEERHEARTATTACK]

I WISH I WAS THE VIOLIN

[xxxjennyxxx1974]

gorgeous

[ozzfan1979]

I WAS IN THE WAR.... BUT I DIDN'T SEE YOOOU THERE! LMAO!!

[CT2507]

if he sang like that on Britains got talent, he would be X'ed.

[robinmondorama]

the man.

[M0THERKN0WSBEST]

Back in the good old days! ... fuck me!, ... never thought I would say that!!! : p

[vapourmile]

The way David Bowie snaps the bow at the end, he's got comedy moves to rival Kenny!

[Snotra]

Two words.....Scott Joplin!

[bennymalone]

Bowie songs have some of the best basslines ever.

[somedayLAsomedayGC]

Poor violin !

Thank u for sharing it ^_^

[snugglepop100]

Love the fag. Only David can make smoking look cool. And he was bloody gorgeous. well still is I guess. Sigh.

[kimmortennissen]

I knew that MArilyn Manson often emitates Bowie, but must admit it did know How MUTCH, he does (did) it.  Makes Manson look mere and more like a copy cat :S

[angelikakravitz]

Oh such grace, oh such beauty......

[mrsziggystarlet]

<3 THISSSS xD bowie is SOO unbelievably sexy in this clip xD and kenny everett is his usual hilarious adorable self :) xDxDxDxD

[TheBlackQueen1974]

Handsome man. The end was so funny! Now chase me around and call me names! Gotta love Bowie.

[S93G]

Only Bowie could make those dance moves sexy! ;D

[blugularis]

too much cocaine here?

[Meouwww]

Why don't you hit me with yours? Go on! Please?

Chase me round and call me names!

<3

[ninavanwon]

I love this, he's fabulous.

[PhantomQueeny1]

It should be illegal to be that sexy!!

[angelikakravitz]

@PhantomQueeny1  YEAH!!! right!!

[popalways]

Wow so Sexy and beautiful Bowie *__* And the end it's so funny haha :)!

Bowie 4 ever :)

[eruption257]

Christ, he's dapper.

[Acadianiste]

destroying instruments sucks.... I don't care who does it. : (

[1kissbee]

@Acadianiste esp. a violin but maybe they had it made special because no violin i have seen breaks like that

[Hoosia]

@Acadianiste break 'em, make 'em, break more, make more - who gives a f***!

[kjsh987]

he looked such a gentleman in that time

[misslep91]

great performance

[UliJones]

Brian Robertson of Thin Lizzy fame recorded the guitars for this version of BKS.

[dontlayeggs]

the original video where Bowie is dressed as different females is more humorous.

[mrsziggystarlet]

xDDD haha- bowie is too hot!! and he s so funny!! this is epic- i have seen it like a million times- but it never gets old!!!

[Gringobadges]

brilliant.. ;)

[viviave8]

the cigarette is so typical Bowie, I love it. The end is freaking epic. This video... YES.

[kjsh987]

this must been on the 79 or 80´s.

[TheBookWorm1718]

@kjsh987 David Bowie said on the Jonathan Ross show when they showed the clip, that it was the New Year's Eve show, '79 going into the 80s.

[icycatz]

LOL . the ending was a BIT wierd.. rofl

[BowieGirley]

OMG..... I LOVE HIM.........

[skepticoz]

LOL that would explain the name.

[leonoel42]

@BowieGirley Join the quque girlfriend!. God Bowie is hot especially around this time and thin white duke/MWFTE

[rebble67]

bowies amazing but.... well that dancing was sorta weird and well ik he smokes but m just glad he stopped... hey wait a minuite...y did bowie stop touring?????

[RDJim]

His teeth looked so much better then. Those caps he has not are just too hollywood generic.

[TomsFriendKake]

I agree, if someones teeth look to perfect, well then they look fake! He was really sexy, and now for older man, he still is even with the wierd teeth.

[whangie1]

@RDJim Yeah I agree.

[LestHeBecomeAmonster]

@RDJim I personally thought his teeth were the best in Labyrinth

[MrRichie73]

how funny with a ciggy in his hand

[krebdj]

when you're a boooooooooooy

[jkcrystal2]

wow this is funny , and good show hehe....

hey looked good in black heheh....but no the smoking NO!

LOL thank u :D

[acmedressform]

smoking is bad for your health kids, don't do it, but i still love how they could smoke in the studios in the 70s.

[PockyBebop]

"I fought for people like you...and I never got one." XDDD

This was so funny! I love how Bowie was trying to look cool (and he did!) while Kenny Everett was bugging him about "the war". The bit with the violin bow floored me with laughter! I just love this clip <3

[TheBookWorm1718]

@PockyBebop He looks to me like he just wants to kill that guy, which shows how great of an actor he is and he doesn't even need to talk to do it.

[tiradeoftruth]

chase me round and call me names!

funny as hell.

[DBowie1983]

his dancing is so funny, in a good way i mean, aaahhhhhh, his sexyness is gonna make me pass out *thump*

[andygovo]

amazing!

[darkstar0709]

5ft 1 lol dont be daft

[tfcrew]

"Bowie is only 5 feet plus one inch tall."

...Really?.. so that means that Kenny Everett is only 4' 4"? cause he stands right nxt to him

[beeb1992]

Yes, David Bowie is 5ft 10. Wherever you read 5ft 1, it was wrong. :)

[DBowie1983]

No, David's 5'10" where did you read that he was 5'1"????

[M0THERKN0WSBEST]

I was being silly, I think he is like 5.10 or 11, not quite six feet.

[DBowie1983]

Oohhhh, he. =D

[LORDGODSIRALEXFERGIE]

I heard he was 6' 2".......Or was that 62?

[DBowie1983]

I'm gonna go out on a limb but I'm guessing it's 62 because, he's 62 =)

[LORDGODSIRALEXFERGIE]

That would make sense I guess.

This guy is just unique - in my opinion the most underrated british performer ever. I have been a fan since the 70's

[TheBlackQueen1974]

@LORDGODSIRALEXFERGIE He was 5'10

[gmullin]

yea you were allowed to smoke on tv back in the 80s.

[exoman62]

I think Bowie says "Aladdin Sane"

[tutts999]

Fantastic, Bowie at his best. And he

looks awesome.

[femaleBowie]

wow he´s beautiful

[wagsouza]

POOR !!!

[HtsDontsproductions0]

does anyone know what david says after Kenny says "Now chse me around and call me names!" he says something as he hits the violin bow on the ground but I can't figure out what it is....lol I guess thats because I'm not a boy... :-P

[Rachael1918]

It's 'Darling swain!'

It took me a while to figure it out, though ;).

[antheaize]

absolutely divine, very brillant, very perfect!

[Schmidtenhoffer]

f that.

[clumpft]

fuck that was hilarious, sooooo camp! brilliant!

[AlineOldman]

So good..Bowie is perfect!!!

[redwhitch17]

Ahh David bowie..Brilliant...........I love Kenny..RIP ..He is a genius..

[Jordaneagames]

its 1979 if im correct

[Jordaneagames]

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH he broke a violin I MIGHT DIE!!

[4mayZing]

I LOVE his eyes. They're sooo compelling.

[wisesatyr72]

Genius all the way..

[aimeemacdn]

This was the era before he started taking heroin

[poniewczasie]

aaa, he's soo cute!!

[Nussekudden]

I think he's so cool! And with a sense of humor too, allways a big + !

This must have been in the 80's - his baggy pants and the fact that they let him smoke on TV!

[ellast1]

late 70's

david was allways ahead in fashion

[snickerdoodle173]

his singing is EW! but that face! he's too handsome!

[JeMiero]

The white Mc Hammer

[pughpughbarneymcgrew]

Looks like he's wearing a black boiler suit lol!

[filteredglitch]

this is great!! haha kinda funny. but thanks for posting this!!!

[thelittlebombardier]

bowie forever

[BackforGood138]

Wow!!!handsome...!!!

[54spiritedwill54]

love this song

[bob26drft]

waste of a good violin.

[neofaustian]

I like david bowie he's one classy dude.

[hellblazer116]

this is why his voice sounds worse than it should at his current age fucking smoking

[Droyd21]

Lol, she has a point though. Though the song is indeed tongue in cheek, it is about a serious subject.

Both the song and her comment really isn't that far from the truth.

[Snurdgerbly]

I remeber seeing this program way back when.  Doesn't DB just look fantastic!? And Kenny, poor, wonderful Kenny. What a loss. :-(

[shokwave321]

contradiction is the subject of every argument...lol

[shokwave321]

Live and Let Live ..thats what its all about..............superb musik and what a superb performer...just a shame that baber stabber was on the end of the video...

[eliseandnicky]

oohhhhhh.. he is so fucking beautiful here o_O.. excuse me while i go and pass out somewhere...

<3<3

[ArizonaLioness]

You're so exactly right!!

[monicasm123]

I can change my colors

I can change my face

I can kiss you hello then put you in your place

You'll NEVER own me

Im ALWAYS first in the line because Im a girl

When you're a girl get him to buy you a home of your own

When you're a girl get him to drive you EVERYWHERE you'll get your share when you're a girl

Girls Girls Girls keep swinging

Girls have it ALL worked out.

[mchelo18]

1- You didn't get the song.

2- "When you're a girl get him to buy you a home of your own" ---> you think you're making women look clever by implying they trade sex for houses? Go back to Girl Power 101, you tool.

[Alfrunk]

He's commenting on life, not taking sides.

[monicasm123]

girls keep swinging 1234 They'll all love ya They'll all adore ya Nothing stands in your way when you're a girl Clothes shoping for ever never pay ever Life is all peaches and pearls When you're a girl When you're a girl you will never wear a uniform when you're a girl other girls check you out You get a boy to pay for things When you're a girl Girls Girls keep swinging Girls have it all worked out.

[lusulpher]

Lol, someone is actually telling the truth on the web...

[DinoDivo22]

It's all coming back to me now! What a kak! Kenny rocked and the chase (not to mention the violin that doesn't smash on cue) is just a riot. Thankyou thankyou thankyou!

[piercehannigan]

hahahah whaaaaaaaaat!

[peasantchick503]

Jazz hands! 1:20

[rm009z0858]

Jizz hands!

[alecx111]

A very uplifting song in these time of recession.

[LetsBurnGoats]

-smashes once-

o.O why not broken? -rage- -smashes again-

David is epic.

[floppyd0g]

Dave was the ultimate at this time. New album every year, new sound, image etc. Like no one else. Just the best.

[starfaery]

This song is rather funny.

[pablodmdp]

MOR by blur is so similar to this tune

fucking brilliant man
