[MissGirlMisa]

False advertising! No fair!

[FromTheDarkPictures]

the man who fell to earth!

[TheJesterGirl]

How come Bowie always got perfect hair?

[DrWine07]

i love so much but.. what he said ?

*i'm french , sorry*

[blade004]

@DrWine07 Hey mate, what he said was "I'll never get used to that".

Greetz from Australia ;)

[DrWine07]

@blade004 Lol , thank you so much ^^

[blade004]

@DrWine07 You are more than welcome ^_^

[XxBOOSHGIRLxX]

*starts begging cieling*

[naumnn]

The man who fell to earth...this is funny every time I see it!! He's great!

[ofalltheranters]

I wish right now that David Bowie would crash through my bedroom celiing XD

[victordemise]

That weas great (again). After watching the actual movie on IFC tonight, it was funny to see that retro commercial, and to relize it was in fact, "retro".

[JarethTheGlitterBoy]

What the hell! I Have XM radio and I have never had an extremely sexy David Bowie fall through my damn ceiling!!! I'm calling XM to complain right now, this is unacceptable lol

[PockyBebop]

Where I am, it's raining cats and dogs, but no Bowies! :( I wish David Bowie could crash through my roof.

[slowcloud]

That's actually an early version of "Afraid" playing at the end (later re-recorded for Heathen), which may have come form the Toy sessions, an aborted earlier album that was to see Bowie re-record some of his pre-fame songs from the mid to late 60s, as well as some new originals.

[amorgens]

@slowcloud nerd!

[slowcloud]

You love it.

[fanamire1]

LOL!! I'm so just preying that happens to me! Thanks for posting! XD

[Anteroization]

que estupido e impertinente pero grasioso

[lesterclaypool1]

Bowie crashes in on a black woman in a hotel...nothing happens.

Sam Cooke does the same thing and gets shot dead.

The world is a confusing place.

[redmustang13]

Dam*n... wouldn't it do the world a favor if David Bowie would start crashing through the ceiling every now in then?

giggles***

[IoSonoTrash]

Buhahah!! my dream!

I hope that this event happens to me too!! XD

[antheaize]

Bowie is the better!

[jkcrystal2]

LOL that was cool MAN !

[BdALpye]

Is it playing on the man who fell to earth?

[BreakingGlass77]

I remember this commercial. Is it really that old? It sounds like they're playing a track from Heathen, that came out in 2002

[deeja24]

loved all these commercials when they were on, wish i could see the one were snoop looked up with "i gotta stop smokin that $#!t" face,lol but all are priceless

[BowieGirley]

HAAAAAA XD that is by far, the best ad i have ever seen! LOL! it was just so sudden! i cant stop laughin! XD

[Aueneye]

Man has no right looking that good at this age. He has a painting in the attic for sure.

[NinjaOfTheSandx]

I was only 9 when this commercial came on TV and it was the first time I saw David Bowie, and when I saw his eyes and heard his voice I said to my mum "Mommy.... who is that?!"

And I was captivated by him ever since.

Shame I didn't hear of him earlier... :P

[AchrenDuaite]

XD "The man who fell to earth." Good God, I would love nothing more than to have that man drop through my bedroom ceiling. So awesome.

[LadyScreaming]

Thanks for sharing! I have never seen that before!

[DBCrowns]

Perfect! Bowie falling to earth again..

[fruffles]

@DBCrowns yesss from the film The Man Who Fell To Earth such a cult classic

[dbdeg88]

I remember this commercial! I don't think I really got the "I'll never get used to that" joke back then because I knew next to nothing about Bowie at the time, but now that I've gotten more into him, I can appreciate this commercial a lot more...

[SAT9terminus]

Uncle Bowie!!!

[marianstefan1]

Good add

[aloralove]

...he missed the bed. =(

[raerae1281]

I remember when I first saw that I was like, "Damn, she's the luckiest woman in the world, I wish Bowie would fall through *my* roof"

[MrBlindPenguin]

Yeah I like to think she's this huge Bowie fan.

[fiction99]

bowie is "the man who fell to earth" once again ;).

[yoshimax777]

It is a greatest short CF in human history.

Dave is a spacy being.

[Daliya1]

Fantastic!

It's raining Bowies today!!!

[eliseandnicky]

i WISH :DDD

[AmyLeeFan1Aleera]

LOL. HAHHAA.. No, that was just so randomly funny..

Smart arses at XM Radio.. Betcha that old lady didn't even know who he was.

by the way, nice name (areafan). LAWL.

[areafan]

Why thank you. ;)

[izabelabar]

Ha, ha, ha good I'm laughing to tears

[brooksie19]

Bowie is so awesome!

[bowie1983]

I'll never get used to that.

[keymookatt]

part of that. never forget that. what a great time.

[TheLocalBlackandLiz]

pffbt. I had XM radio, and David Bowie never fell through my roof. Fucking tease!

Haha. But seriously, how amazing would that be?

[areafan]

In that case I won't bother getting it! ;)

[MetallicCrayon]

I wanted XM in 2001 because of this commercial. Kind of makes you think of "The Man Who Fell To Earth" though, doesn't it?

[NihilisticSeraph]

...That's quite a persuasive commercial.

[Inglesa]

indeed

=P

[lindadox]

Is the song afraid?

[areafan]

It is--which is odd since Heathen wasn't released until 2002.

[PompadourSamurai]

Probably was the prototype of it that was going to be on the Toy album.

Cheers for a response to a 2 year old comment!

[NmmiNut]

@lindadox I think Afraid was originally supposed to be on ...Hours, but it was cut, but he liked it so he kept it and waited for the next album...

[cbrez13]

@NmmiNut Afraid was supposed to be on an unreleased album called "Toy." It was to consist mostly of rerecorded versions of pre-"Space Oddity" tracks, such as "Let Me Sleep Beside You," and "The London Boys," along with a handful of new tracks: "Afraid," "Uncle Floyd," (which became "Slip Away" on "Heathen") and "Toy," which was released on iTunes as "Your Turn to Drive."

[DearlyBeloved0616]

haha shes like "is it really you?"

[MacyJay]

she's rather like "who the hell are you" :)

[sparkalot]

OOOOOh, so lovely....Per chance to dream.

[absoulutebowie86]

hah if i was that lady i probably would have died right there on the spot...<333

[rockyhorrorrebel]

oh god!!!!! i loves me some bowie! :D that was funnay!

[BowieLover2]
