I know people are entitled to their own opinions and all that....but this version...is so much better than the original, I mean I love david bowie, I love a lot of his music....but Diamond Dogs just isn't a good song. This on the other hand? this is amazing.
It's more fitting to the lyrics, it's clean, crisp. Beck adds a tone to it with his strangely indifferent voice. It has a very different feel which I think makes this song a remarkable example of music, and re-done music in particular.
I hate it when people come on here to listen to a cover then immediately dismiss it, citing that the original is 1000x better. Wow, is it really SO horrible to appreciate both for different (or perhaps, gasp, even SIMILAR) reasons? I enjoy both, and that's that. Shoot me.

*pauses the video and turns on the original 1974 version*
Ah, that's better. Almost had to call the cops, because of the brutal rape this terrible song just put my ears through.

I like the david bowie version better, it sounds less depressing than this version. Not to say that this version is bad.

I've never heard either of the two versions of this song before today.
I listened to both and...
I don't see how it's even a comparison.
No disrespect to David Bowie but this version wins in every single way.

@garethmanEXE No respect to David Bowe? He wrote the bloody song. His original will always be the definitive one.
