David Bowie - China Girl

[ironbark1100]

An Asian girl, from N.Z.....

[morecowbell69]

This song has nothing to do with Connie Chung or the woman in the video. It was co-written by Bowie and Iggy Pop, and first released on an Iggy Pop album in 1977. Bowie put it on his own album 6 years later.

[morecowbell69]

The song isn't about a woman. It's about Western culture infiltrating Eastern. From the mouth of the man himself.

[oneoftheeeahuahshua]

excellent song

[IamDayoldHate1]

David Bowie is one Suave motherfucker.

[YTPEXPERT]

[wakekid2001]

[csca555]

he sure likes those china girls

[RagDraggo]

Wasn't the writer of this song (David Bowie) referring to TV News Journalist Connie Chung as he references "China Girl"?

[TheRealArtzilla]

@RagDraggo No, Bowie was dating the Asian model in this video at the time.

[masterpatricZeta3]

@TheRealArtzilla no,he was not.

[TheRealArtzilla]

@masterpatricZeta3 Yes, he was.

[RadarMan913]

daron malakian brought me here..

[theblahman]

Stevie Ray Vaughan on lead guitar folks, Bowie always had great people in the studio with him, Fripp and Eno on Heroes for example

[noff27]

@theblahman They played together with him because the music produced was great and they knew they themselves could make it better and Bowie knew it too. Eno on the album Low, was amazing.

[DevaXfish]

very great song

[atelierjuno]

SUPER SUPER SEXY thakyou!

[Kanarie1973]

This song 's about heroine.

[simonsrd100]

whish this stupid maze advert would fuck off soz drunk

[specialkaye87]

hah! family guy spoof 3:08

[morecowbell69]

This song IS racist..... or anti-racist in a backhanded way. That's the point Bowie was making.

[MrRonnilee]

Jo, fetzt, und iss immer noch ein schöner Schmusesong. Good David

[ayititifi10]

if this song came out now--alot would consider it racist and there would be a huge to-do about it. it would not be seen as the beautiful art-piece that it is. somehow the more 'tolerant' we have become--the more unreasonable we are? i loved it in the 80s when i was 10 and now when im 36. just my humble, black female opinion. one love.

[Darion1A]

@ayititifi10 it would only be considered racist if he was talking about the chinese in a bad way like rappers always talk about white girls or puerto ricans and thats not considered racist

[cliffyyffilc]

@jayhawke167 absolutely!! AND legendary... It's Stevie Ray Vaughn on guitar.

[gunnargerhardt]

awesome bass line

[jayhawke167]

awsome guitar solo

[maxti6]

He said this was his 'sell-out' album but I truly thought it was excellent. I was 19 when it came out. It was very cool.

[Darion1A]

@maxti6 a sell out album means it sold to the point where they were out of copies, or out of seats for a concert multiple times so sell out is good

[maxti6]

@Darion1A His statement that I saw on a documentary was that he did this album for commercial reasons and not an album from his heart. He did it for money. But i never would have thought that in a million years. It was one of my favorites and I was liking it.

[Darion1A]

@maxti6 well bowie still cares about his fans but not everything has to have meaning behind it, when people work at mcdonalds are they working there for the money or the customers? its the same thing, i actually see him as a normal person for doing that, it doesnt change my opinion at all

[cotchford1969]

Marlon Brando!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[AYBOGA75]

Killer!!!



[domirules28]

this came out in '83?? could've swore it topped the charts in 1986 when bowie was in labyrinth....

[13hellkaat]

God, you might as well call me bowiesexual.

[DaveWollenberg]

David hit #10 in Billboard, 8-27-83. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[lesstation]

Still good today. 

[123456789jklmn]

Still listening to this timeliess song....David Bowie is stil an amazing artist.

Love his style....Thanks for sharing

[MzKoritaPerez]

[WolfofPeru1967]

And I do have authority to say that NOT all girls fancy him since I know plenty of girls that just like his music...Period. I will be looking for any responce for more amusement.

[MichelleLaBell10]

[ladykaramino]

Both are wearing the same bronzer LOL

[Vicarapostolic]

Cool song :)

[dukeofmodena]

She reminds me of my 3rd wife, cost me a fortune to get her over here - fuck knows where she went on the 2nd night. Robbed me aswell.

[turbot1187]

@dukeofmodena Damn dude, hookers in Chinatown are far more affordable

[alcody1]

@dukeofmodena hahahahahaha!!!!!!!

[do95070]

@dukeofmodena I am sorry to hear that, shame on her but not all chinese girls are like that though. Best luck to you in finding love! <3

[kevjay777]

I love his fantastic voice. He has absolute command over it. He can sound like 37 different artists - all original. All him.

But I don't get all this "I'm straight but I'd turn gay for Bowie" stuff. Have today's kids lost their minds? You idolize another human to the point you would suck his cock? I don't believe it . . . . I think those who say it are A) Already gay or B) Just trolling for thumbs or C) Both A & B!

He has a golden voice, but listening is as far as I would indulge myself.

[jonomurphy3]

@kevjay777

I think maybe you take the gag (excuse the pun) a bit too far.

[v2vroth]

Great Guitar solo by Stevie Ray Vaughan!

[MrsTootie79]

Everyday is 80's for me. I will not listen to the pop radio stations today cause it just doesn't compare to this decade.

[7allam]

China White is another name for heroin. Read the songs lyrics and see if you can catch it. It's cool.

[7allam]

The song was co-written by Bowie and Pop during their drug years in Berlin. It was on Pop's album The Idiot, but Bowie released it on Let's Dance so Pop could get a co-writing royalty. Pop was bankrupt due to his heroin addiction.

[forhgu5hi46]

this makes me feel special... :)

[MsMUSICJUNKIE420]

@forhgu5hi46 are u chinese? lol and a girl??

[forhgu5hi46]

@MsMUSICJUNKIE420 Yus, haha :)

[FinnMove]

Great song. Strong and emotional.

[7allam]

I could escape this feeling, with my china girl I feel a wreck without my, little china girl I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder Saw the stars crashing Im a mess without my, little china girl Wake up mornings wheres my, little china girl I hear hearts beating, loud as thunder I saw they stars crashing down I feel an tragic like an marlon brando When I look at my china girl I could pretend that nothing really meant too much When I look at my china girl

[7allam]

This song is about heroin:

[genesisrock43]

@7allam No it isn't. Iggy Pop wrote it about a Chinese woman he fell in love with (whose name i forge) who was recording in the studio at the same time that he and Bowie were working on the idiot...

[TheSkeetergirl]

Stevie Ray Vaughn guitar solo. Love it!

[LovetheUK07]

I'm a little German and Italian girl..

And I love this song. :)

[jimmybrown11111]

@LovetheUK07 what an outstanding combination

[MegaChrist69]

[stellathequeen97]

[RawheadRex72]

[joebob780]

I measure a culture by two things, Their food and their women, I like both when it comes to the Asians. Aieeyaah

[joebob780]

I measure a culture by two things, Their food and their women, I like both when it comes to the Asians.

[Nrisagieri]

"I'll stumble into town, just like a sacred cow, visions of swastikas burns for everyone, it's in the way of my life, my little china girl, you shouldn't mess with me, I'll ruin everything you are, You know I'll give you television, etc..."

sounds like "White guilt"

[maoistaus]

Is Bowie in his late 50s now 

[plutao]

@maoistaus is now 60 bowie is about the same age than Freddie Mercury

[maoistaus]

@plutao thanx for info wow 60 he has matured like a fine wine

[Nrisagieri]

i wonder if any Chinese people got offended by this song

[stuckinwhopast]

Gee I wonder how many diversity festivals they celebrate in China pls tell me. Pls answer I can tke it. I want to know how many diversity reps they have in Japan Korea and china ha ha

@domirules28 it was released in 1983

[rlawton002]

hihihi lardo.... love it...Im not THAT GAY....just alittle gay when.... I'm in the mood....not that there's anything wrong with it.

[Wrkoutguy08]

Sometimes when I listen to David Bowie, his voice makes me laugh. Don't get me wrong, he has an awesome voice, no disrespect intended.

[JCDC12]

you pay me 5 dollar!

[znatizeljac]

[SleepyMenton]

Not a video, really just audio!

[katoklzmk]

Do you all know that this was written by Iggy Pop about his then (Chinese American) girlfriend?

[potato73]

@katoklzmk I actually think this song's about Heroin addiction

[woodenships747]

Never stop building dreams....Life will not surrender only we could surrender,,,, please never surrender........dreams like this are just to good to let go of...people stand up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

[jonomurphy3]

[extremenonna]

This is Geelong Ng, a New Zealand born, of Chinese descent. Bowie met her on one of his NZ tours.

[extremenonna]

this is Geelong Ng, an New Zealand born of Chinese descent. She was an actress in NZ and Bowie met her her on tour.................hence her inclusion into his video. <3

David Bowie is 63 now. Oh, time passes by so quickly.

People getting older but good songs never.

This is one of those never getting old.
