at my table sometimes we throw food or money in the middle of the table and when i bring the stereo this song fits so perfectly with the part where it goes "sailors fighting in the dance hall"
Wow... actually i'm here in this pagine because i have listen Bill Kaulitz(Tokio Hotel's vocalist) talking about his favorite singer and he's David Bowie and behind that, i have fallen in love with this song.. ABSOLUTLY ! I've never thought he could a really good singer but my God! he's realy good.. he's wonderfull! Now i love u David Bowie! ... And Loveu Bill Kaulitz! ♥ With love... From Colombia! :D Vivian!
OK,now that we've got that established,I have got to say,no matter how many billions of times I listen to this song,I STILL get chills when he hits that first high note ....
I feel emotional! Great track. Makes me think of a time when I was happy, as a child, 1st getting into music. Soundtrack to a summer. Thank you Bowie.
Since LOM I always thought "look at the law man beating up the wrong guy" was about Gene, but it could be about the other lawman in A2A- Keats, as the trailer for the last episode suggests he hits Gene, who could be the 'wrong guy'/ good guy.
Saw Bowie in 1973 at the Greek Theatre in LA, and then in 1976 in Zurich Switzerland. An incredible preformer. Remember surfing Zuma beach in Southern California back in 1971 and in my yellow Suburu wiith black vinal top listening to Bowie before going out in the cold morning surf. Great memories.
This is the best song ever!!!!!! i love david bowie!!!!!he's the best and he wears make-up when he's in character like when hesings life on mars he's Ziggy Stardust!And his Ziggy Stardust outfits are kickass!
that's how I got to know the song, I wonder if I'd ever have noticed it otherwise; I certainly would not have the same feeling in my guts watching it without Sam and Annie;D
Obvious. Americanization. She's in a broken family and tries to get away from the world. It's a parody of how America has gradually become more and more alienated. Lines like "It's on America's tortured brow that Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow" give it away.
Wish I had been born in 59 instead of 69.
