I love how this video is so simple I could make something just like it on iMovie '09, and yet there's something about the way David Bowie does it that makes it amazing.
This may start more trouble than I want. First great song but WOW is Bowie cranking the bisexuality level to 11 in this video.
His aloofness when surrounded by all those writhing women. The real standout was when he wiped a woman's forehead with his glove and was revolted by it.
On deeper reflection it could also indicate how jaded he's become with the hyper-sexuality and shallowness of the "American dream".
nice parody of the american dream, all the more ironic in that he has achieved it, but isn't "drunking the kool-aid", hasn't been subverted by it... or so his ongoing career moves suggest.
I've always loved this song and I haven't seen this video in ages. It's aces. He looks a bit like Annie Lennox with that mask on, which is funny, because I just watched the footage from their rehearsal and performance of "Under Pressure" at the Freddie Mercury benefit concert. And I really dig Bowie's pantomime-style dance moves. He makes everything awesome.
not to bring up the whole Labyrinth thing again....but i can definitely see how he contributed alot of the attitude of Jareth...like in essence Jareth...IS Bowie....does that make sense? or am i just weird?
The David Bowie that we all know has gone. Life has dealt him a bad hand to play with ( heart problem ). So much of what he was came from his enjoyment of his life and he can't enjoy his life as much now. Just my thoughts;;;;;;;; having said that, he has an incredible awareness of things so will surely move us all on again in the future.
Saw this years ago on a TV special showcasing all the vids made for the `Black Tie White Noise` album, but what I really want to see again are the comedy sketches he did for the show in the vein of Harold Lloyd I think it was....they were outstanding. I have them on videotape but I dont have the means of getting it onto here and I dont have a VCR anymore either. If someone can message me how to convert them I will upload as have about 8 hours of Bowie stuff on them still not found on YouTube.
This song is exactly what is possible to make in world of pop and not to copy.The melody, being totally based on a strange and repeating line, 3:00 very good solo part out of rock and roll, 3:33 starting new way of sounds, typical Bowie who can make out of seemingly normal something unnormal. :D Some notice pop of 2035
me too, david is sexy as hell! love him and everything about him
