Jonathan Richman wrote this song with quirky humour. Bowie is a genius in his own way, but he does not do this song justice. Its way too serious of a take .
i'm trying to sing i was told i sound like bowie i try to sing with a smile i sound like this guy when i try some people would compareto the sound with little laugh you sond like frank sinatra, (error)when i was asking them hey what do do i sound like to you i was compared to our friend here, i feel restricted from singing my question to mr. bowie is how did he learn to sing personally?!
@shovman i dont think david bowie would waste his time on lesser things like youtube (as in i dont think you are him) furthermore i also think your just an asshole

David Bowie proves he's one of the masters of the universe with this song. It's hard to top the version in Repo Man but Mr. Bowie has done it.

I like Bowie, but really do not like his version of this; it's much too much Big Rock

Picasso might not have been an asshole, but he had something to hide.
