@c4gregjockca What about all those things you said to me in bed last night? What happened to tying puppies leashes to a bumper, and slowly tearing the guts from live kitten?! We were going to put salt on them and listen to their cute little screams while performing oral sex on each other!
@c4gregjockca Get off American made youtube you pussy!! You know, usually I take what people say into consideration but seeing as you're one who has dildos, cocks and condoms on your page it's pretty hard to take anything you say seriously. I was right when I told you to go suck my fat American cock huh.... faggot?? Lol And fuck the rest of these hating, anti American, cum guzzlers that keep giving you thumbs up on your corny ass comments. They're all just as stupid as you are. Fuck'n Clown!!
...And you're just a dirt fucking third world cock-a-roach!! You aren't even on my level so I dont know why Im wasting my time arguing with your dumb ass. You're pathetic little country aint shit so who are you to talk down on the most powerful country in the world huh? In case your stupid ass dont know the whole world is in recession not just America dumb-ass... FUCK OFF ALREADY YOU PARASITE HA HAA!!!
Why do people have to get old. Arg. I remmeber this. I remmeber Bowie helped with a game called Omikron: The Nomad Soul. Future was so close, or it felt that way. "Life doesn't repeat, but it rhymes" - i think Mark Twain said that? Well, every person you can imagine is alive or has been. That's the lesson to be learned.
Bowie gave an interview in 1999 where he described his feelings behind the song:
"It's not [...] truly hostile about Americans [...] it's merely sardonic. I was traveling in Java when [its] first McDonald's went up: it was like, "for fuck's sake." The invasion by any homogenised culture is so depressing, the erection of another Disney World in, say, Umbria, Italy, more so. It strangles the indigenous culture and narrows expression of life."
I guess the record company censored the line "Johnny wants pussy in cars." Too bad That's just a shite thing to do to such a great artist, or any artist for that matter. It's like putting a sock over Michelangelo's David. Oh wait they did that already didn't they? Pussy and cock (depictions or otherwise) = weapons of mass destruction apparently!! But go ahead, give us more explosions, more blood and guts and brains blown out in video games, films and TV any day!
@daPawlak listen fucker, America is the greatest country in the world. And it's kinda hard not to attack poorer countries when we have one of the highest GDP and are allies with the holders of the higher GDP's. So good job, you obviously watch some peice of shit political shows to get all your bullshit information. That is, when you're not whackin it to southpark
@ajbasher1229 "t's kinda hard not to attack poorer countries" no it's not you just don't do it... unless you want to rape and pillage. Face it, your country is the greates threat to mankind, but unfortunately my nation as well as many others is one of what you called 'allies' (I would say 'provinces') of this empire and does nothing to stop this.
@Diamondgrl2007 USA exploits rest of the World, stages ridiculous global war on drugs hurting milions of inocent people and bringing milions of dolars to organized criminals. Or maybe it's becouse CIA overthrows democraticaly chosen governments, or simply they can't stand corporate welfer for multinationals that destroy Earth while abusing their workers, not to even mention wars in middle east. There are plenty of good reasons to say 'Fuck America'
@daPawlak Unfortunately this is because of our government, but the government doesn't represent all the people in the country. I'm American and I believe war is wrong. I also disapprove of racism. I hate guns. There are positive and negative aspects of America just like any other nation. The reality is that people aren't perfect, and unfortunately that includes people who run governments as well as leaders of the world, and America is definitely no exception.
@Traumaqueenamy That's true, but I don't think any European nation started any war since decolonisation (aside form Balkans), also US is home to most of multinational corporations and they wouldn't succeded without your government help. I never generalise actions of country to each and every citizen, but you should really look into modern history, it isn't equal. but I never blame citizens for what government did, but only you can change what they do. I don't want to be afraid of Americans.
@ajtanner95 and it's an attitude like that, that will keep you as the opposite, a man who thinks he knows everything won't learn anything and a man who accepts that there is alot he doesen't know will become very wise. Blindly thinking your country is the best when statistically it isn't will keep it that way idiot.
@ajtanner95 Your comment says it all - US is countries Cartman, delusional convinced of it's own uniqueness, but deep inside aware of being just a fat kid, so have to constantly convince itself of 'being the best' by assulting much poorer countries.
Yes, you will fuck us up, if we let you. Luckily USA is going down, now it's its last decade of hegemony.
it is sad that America gives its people the right to come together and express our point of views....and all we tend to do is argue ....TRUE..but not one of us is all of us...so when you say the things that are being said here i hope you remember that . or your no better then any raciest group or hate group that America can or dose hold i like the song because it shows the differences.... i value them...
This is an orginal David bowie song google it at lyrics you find that plus all his other songs.Trent and David collobrated together on this song to update this song for today but this song was waaaay ahead of it's time and still is many countries find Americans scary and threating. He wrote this osng in the 70's man.When you watch the video they really do a good job of showing David's fear of guns and the ease with which Americans can use them.While the we embrace our culture of guns.
I see a NIN influence, bowie sure evolves with time and changes his style, and takes from younger bands which is great., I wonder if reznor collaborated with the actual music.
@hiobec it is sad that America gives its people the right to come together and express our point of views....and all we tend to do is argue ....TRUE..but not one of us is all of us...so when you say the things that are being said here i hope you remember that . or your no better then any raciest group or hate group that America can or dose hold i like the song because it shows the differences.... i value them...
there is more than a NIN influence, most of people seems to ignore it but trent reznor did this version of the song, listen to the album version you will see how different it is, this is the trent reznor remix which is more than a remix
I'd enjoy america more if we were like trent.. his band is actually very unselfish they found out how much their cd was going for and at a concert gave everyone permission to download it off the internet(illegally usually unless you have consent)
c15art you are spot on. The thrust of the theme, although ever evolving, and open to the interpreter's own critical faculties, Bowie(along with the civilized world)cherishes the western ideal of freedom and liberty...this song references the disturbing escalating element of violence and brutality in society..
Just remember it is the governments, the people never truely have control over the governments. We are brainwashed to think we do...but it's just a big club...and the citizens are not in the "club". People are decent through out the world.
your right, people never really do have control over their governments, but people have common sense and are able to distinct wrong from right, they just choose not to.theres no brainwashing involved, its just plain arrogance.
Remember when Bowie "snubbed" Gary Numan? Oh, that's right! you can't! your a child!...you can't even remember YOUR National culture! Pathetic "EARTHLING"!
Hmph. Aren't all good Christians god fearing people?
And by the way, the majority of Americans aren't godLESS, they're just ignorant Baptists. I'm a born-again Atheist American and I know my shit, thanks. :]
I love the artists and I am a poet, and had the same childhood like Trent, in a small town...So I understand him well and knew lots about him when I used to like NIN. Bowie is great too -- but I have to disagree with the end of the video, Yes I'm afraid of Americans but not for the reason of God. Americans are GodLESS...that's why I'm afraid of Americans. :) I'm a christian and still love the video so please don't take my comment the wrong way. :)
I could only dream of being the object of Reznors stalking. Bowie has an incredible presence that is so overwhelming I cant even begin to put it into words.
Read more into the video! Look at America's huge sway toward right wing protestant politics. Based on the verbal vomit of gun owning evangilical christians, God IS an American.
and if you search a little deeper you'll find theydid a tour together, where trent sang alongside bowie for a portion of the set, encompassing songs from boths bands
Bowie speaks about alienation... in scary monsters super creeps he speaks about Lennon's death. NYC is one of the safest cities on planet Earth. Godbless you John. eronsea Bristol UK

Americans are GodLESS...that's why I'm afraid of Americans. :) I'm a christian and still love the video so please don't take my comment the wrong way. :)

I think one way to look at it is that Americans are so self-righteous that they believe they are God.

I could only dream of being the object of Reznors stalking. Bowie has an incredible presence that is so overwhelming I cant even begin to put it into words.

Read more into the video! Look at America's huge sway toward right wing protestant politics. Based on the verbal vomit of gun owning evangilical christians, God IS an American.

That's Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails chasing him. Trent helped Bowie w/this version of the song and is actually singing with Bowie.

well, if you look into it you'll find its true
and if you search a little deeper you'll find theydid a tour together, where trent sang alongside bowie for a portion of the set, encompassing songs from boths bands

Bowie speaks about alienation... in scary monsters super creeps he speaks about Lennon's death. NYC is one of the safest cities on planet Earth. Godbless you John. eronsea Bristol UK
