  • I prefer Lou's version.

  • yuckkkkk

    MamaJaz

  • Even though Bowie is a pathetic commercial product, he should have had the common decency not to denigrate a song by a band of the Velvet Underground's stature.

  • I love bowie, but he shouldn't sing this song. It suits him like Led Zepplin would suit Lady Gaga.

  • Bowie's BBC recording of this song is fantastic. This version has Thin White Lines written all over it.

  • Oh, my God, this is fucking ghastly.

  • Theres a version with Bowie and Lou Reed both singing and its much better,only slightly bowiefied.

  • Isn't this just from the documentary "Cracked Actor?"

  • @evelsteev as far as I remember the Cracked Actor doc came out before this tour.

  • yea come up with his straw hat!

  • i love both David B and Velvet underground/Lou Reed but this is, well... dreadful to be fair

  • Louo Reed > Bowie

  • I don't know if it's the video quality or Bowie on drugs, not a great cover.

  • First of all it "Im waiting for THE man" and its about a drug dealer, its a Lou Reed cover, if you call yourself a Bowie fan,....atleast ge it right.....(sigh)....

  • Its Im waiting for the man!

  • "High heeled shoes"? Is the dealer also a cross dresser?

  • god, he really "bowied" it!

  • this is a nice song ^_^

  • I check this song on wikipedia. The explaination is all there.

  • This song is written by Lou Reed. I think it's about waiting for a drug dealer. Not the homosexial thing.

  • woah, what did i do? I was just asking if he was gay. i didnt mean it offinsivly LOL! Sorry if i offended you.......O_O gosh, so many people get offended over a comment or a quetsions.......sorry!!

  • "a" comment? you made a couple hear and there on Bowie vid's, these vids are for fans, if you have a problem with his sexuality (and by the way he never was actually gay anyway) or anything else then you shouldn't voice them where there are hundreds of us that love him!

  • LOL! Well, my first one was to a mean person when i yelled and i have a cousin who is gay and tons of friends too....so whatever man!! : P LOL!

  • so a person cant voice their opinion anymore? Isnt that what youtube is about...voicing your opinion, even if you disagree with people? Douche bag
