I love this! I laughed when Bowie says 'very selfish' Brilliant. I've got like 20 Bowie albums, but never listened to anything before 'Space Oddity'...what an idiot i am, because this is brilliant and funny! 5 star of course.
"Dogs shouldn't be allowed in here bloody obscene" makes me laugh all the time I loved this song when I got the album "the deram anthology" about 5 years ago and still love it today. my mu says I'm mad!!!!
is it just me or is this the same melody as THE LONDON BOYS. AMASING SONG, i feel like i too have practically become obsessed with it, so young but still soo good
for gods sake david, too good too young, will you ever stop killing me and bringing me back to life again, only to kill me with you talent, weird, creepy, scary, hilarious, goosebumps-inducing, and just plain silly... HOW?????????
Haven't heard this in **years** (mind you, I am word perfect on the "lyric" including the asides! Posts like this are what YouTube is all about for me! Now I can play this for others, and they'll know I didn't make it up! :-D
What, other Bowie fans said this song never existed. Well, in a couple of weeks to a month I'm gunna put like 5 more songs from before this album. And I'm glad to provide this for u.
if someone came up with this in school they'd call the cops

Definitely one of David Bowie's most unusual songs, there's no music and it's very dark and creepy, but I like it, I can't get it out of my head.

Not exactly Bowie's most catchiest song, still good though.

Bowie was Alice Cooper and Marilyn Manson before they even imagined their art.

Ah. I still have the LP for this. I loved listening to it. Wonderfully creepy.
Not as strange as The Laughing Gnome, though. :P

Looking at the second picture with bowie and the dog i realize something...Bowie would have been an AWESOME Joker for the batman movie...

he was considered for the role that went to jack nicholson. Bowie would've ROCKED in that role;)

Definitely agree that it's more a poem than a song. Actually it almost sounds like a radio play what with the sound effects and stuff.
LadyGrinningSoul08 3 years ago
me again.
well, it seems to be more of a story told with Bowie acting out a role... i mean, he even called himself a storyteller, didn't he?
in a strange way, it vaguely reminds me of "Hello, Spaceboy."
it is a cool story; what a great way to end an album.
thanks for posting, again.
