[polodemarseille]

THIS SONG WAS NOT WRITTEN BY DAVID BOWIE BUT BY FRENCH SINGERS JACQUES DUTROC AND JACQUES LANZMANM IN 1966

[SollyMotherF]

[polodemarseille]

[polodemarseille]

THIS SONG WAS NOT WRITTEN BY DAVID BOWIE BUT BY FRENCH SINGER JACQUES DUTROC AND JACQUES LANZMANM IN 1966

[krackersdave]

[TaipeDiep]

"Trust the Gene Genie!"

Love life on Mars.

[MrWoots1]

de meest sexy man in the world

[AanDeHagelslag]

Anyone remember listening to this when you were strung out yourself?

[paisleyization]

THIS is real rock, how it should be, hard, catchy, fun and danceable too.

[SadStatue0ofLiberty]

I love this song!

I love David Bowie!

Ahhhh!

[FBlackRules]

Bowie gave All the Young Dudes to Mott the Hoople in London and helped their career take off. Ian Hunter told me this after a living room concert in Rancho Cucamonga, CA several years ago. One of my buddies won a radio station contest and the concert was grand prize. Indeed it was grand. Thanks Ian and thanks Bruce!

[FBlackRules]

RIP Mick Ronson. I miss your great work.

[caspian1993]

Why was I not born in the 70s?

[AanDeHagelslag]

@caspian1993 Cause then you would be born when this music was at it's top and you wouldn't experiance it anyway cause you would be a baby and be a teen in the 80's which isn't bad either. I prefer to say that I wanted to be born in about 1945 cause thats when the war here ended and I would've been about 19 in the mid 60's and more of a grownup in the 70's 80's so also able to see Nirvana and such. ^^ You agree?

[gammaGTgammajereste]

listen to "la fille du pere noel" de Jacques Dutronc in 1966

[m1kewithaone]

@gammaGTgammajereste why??

[kavtoM]

Only thing I can think about right now - GENE HUNT!!!!

MY FAV SONG...TUNE IS AN OUTER SPACE ROCK &ROLL

[ch3rrysunbur5t]

I'd been searching for this song for ages, i got the David Bowie singles volume played through Starman, Rebel Rebel, Suffragate City, this was last on the list...Yeaaaaaaaah Boiiiiiiii, i found it :D

[m1kewithaone]

@ch3rrysunbur5t sometimes, you get lucky.

[magribin]

This track was taken from Kindness (pre Smokie band's name) song "Oh Yeah". Enter this and see here on youtube

[MultiFinlayson]

Alien

[templeofcoy]

My daughter used to get in trouble for singing this song in pre-school

[MrsSurrealista]

@templeofcoy Hahahahaha.

[kitschetc]

this was partly nicked from the honeybus 'girl of independent means.'

[ATamandua]

Brownsville Station also borrowed the opening melody of this for their song "Love, love, love" off the "Yeah!" album (which also contained a little ditty called "Smokin' in the boy's room).

[toonen23]

nobody can be mentioned in the same category for songwriting except mercury, John, Sting, Michael, Barrett, and me!!! Rave the fuck on...

[ScooBeeDooBeeDoo]

Mic Ronson ! awesome guitarist.  RIP MIC.

[GreekGoddessxx]

damn, this was my favourite song when I was like 3 xD still love it

[wowwowwiwow]

...Control.

[MultiFinlayson]

Astonishing song

[brendan680]

This is one of two tracks which will be played at my funeral !! the second one is Purple rain.

[berts30]

[fluffych1cken]

[Ukranus]

[HeadfulOfHollow]

Recently heard it on "Control" and fell in love with it over again.

[TheMrKBurns]

[gargle39]

[McGanoon]

[sb2244]

Favorite Bowie song.....thanks for posting!

[HippieJimi]

I don't trust people who don't listen to David Bowie.....

[fourcups123]

@HippieJimi ..why not we trust you !!! snap your fingers and let yourself go man !!

[fourcups123]

@HippieJimi ...excuse me , i misread you , I agree !

[HippieJimi]

@fourcups123 Thanx 123.....

[ERASESONGBIRD]

when Ian Curtis listen this great song!!

[1979mattant]

Classic, Bowie's a legend.

[icarosilva16]

the man is still a genius,his music is everlasting,he liked Jean Jenet.......he can be sexy but too old to works without a chemical help..who knows ??

[bondurango]

Nobody can tell me Bowie didn't cop The Nashville Teens version of "Tobacco Road" for this one. It's so obvious.

[ChorltonM21]

@bondurango Nobody can tell me The Nashville Teens didn't cop their riffs from some old bluesman like Muddy Waters :o)

[bondurango]

@ChorltonM21

Copping a riff is one thing. Copping a melody is another (the only thing missing from it is the bridge). Now, If you don't understand the difference it's because you don't know the difference between a mountain & a molehill.

[giborn61]

The true king of rock.

[cdgt1]

LOVES TO BE LOVED.

[RamBam3000]

David Bowie is without equal, simply because he's. . . David Bowie.

And how many other musicians can say they've been "The Music Master" in a William Gibson novel ("Idoru")? It's never explicitly stated to be him, but it's pretty easy to figure out.

Would have made an awesome Dr Who, as well.

[02madre]

I love this man and this song.

[tp010101]

@darrenmyers.... you think its ok to refer to females as bitches? it aint you misogynistic fuck face

[ChinoRdrgz]

@tp010101 yet you think it's okay to refer to another human as "fuck face."

let he who is without sin throw the first stone...

[clairpie1]

hippiegirl i think he got better with age.

[RebelwithMacaws]

Jean Geanie loves.... to shoot smack! 4 Walter snicker snicker ;~))))))

[xRocketzFighterx]

I heard this song this morning when some community group was setting up an event outside I heard this song and sat on the stairs in the hot sun with my dog listening to the whole song from start to finish, I loved this song so much I had to ask them what song it is XD

David Bowie you just became one of my top favourite musicians man XD

[giborn61]

The true king of rock

[zoogarten]

Bo Diddley's "I'm a man" riff is used in this song.

[hippiegirl17]

The man is STILL sexy.

[darrenmyers1]

@hippiegirl17 you are sexy for the simple fact that you are into good music.....In real life me and you would have too much fun, Drugs and timeless music combined with myself and females = life well lived.....im 20 years old, its very rare that I encounter a chick who doesnt like retatrded ass music, I show bitches a doors song and they think its like ancient shit thats funny to listen to. Blowjob to LA woman on coke....see you in 20 minutes fiendin for my next fix

[02madre]

@hippiegirl17 amen to that

[MasterHetalia]

@hippiegirl17 YES.

[IslesOfHorror]

reminds me of Life on Mars and the 70's

[joes6666]

.....driv'in back in '74, my 8-track tape fucked up listening to this song and I tried fixing it and rear-ended some dude, only 16yrs. old, lost my license, insurance skyed, ...Hey Bowie, you owe me!!! ....well, come to think of it, maybe I "owe" him!!! ...great jam!...thanx Davey Jones!!!!

[kblopp]

Next time just push a matchbook between the 8 track tape and the radio.
