  • such a hot song, wish I was back when it was out.

  • I actually have the single of Blue Jean on the transparent blue 45. The first Bowie song I ever owned, I believe.

    Oh, and @funwilly I think he would look Very good in mud :)

  • he wud look good in mud

  • I love how his face looks so animated but, in reality its just the make up he is wearing. I love Bowie!

  • David Bowie: the man who can dress however the heck he wants and still look good.

  • Well... partly =0)~

  • Davy Jones is the true Chameleon, that is why i named my handle the way I did... =0)~

  • it's somehow upsetting that david bowie can still look utterly gorgeous covered in ridiculous facepaint and frog-hopping around in harem pants.

  • @CameFromOuterSpace Totally. Nobody has the right to be that gorgeous no matter what he does. :D

  • I actually think Bowie had all the gifts, a true entertainer.

  • Hey, is that Gordon Kennedy on guitar?

  • I loe this video!

  • wasn't there a full length video that was 15 minutes or so long which included this clip? I seem to remember watching it on MTV in the 80's. They made a big deal about it at the time. I remember one scene of David fighting a giant hair blower in his dressing room...

  • @Interfect727 yes, there was a long-form version of this song. I remember that Bowie was a house painter who injured his nose and wore a bandage on it. That was part of the "story" before the song started.

  • one of the coolest videos ever

  • I love geek David trying to open the wine and failing. It`s so funny!

  • one of the few remaining "Gods" of music

  • I thought the full version of this video was on here.. Now I've got to find it *LOL*

    Still cool video and the man is too great

  • Adrien Belou was playing with Frank Zappa long before Talking Heads. He is basically a sessions guitarist/vocalist extraordinare.

  • Oh David Bowie. You are magic.

  • Bass player went on to become Right said Fred. I'm a model and I turn my head when I walk on the catwalk. Good bass player Ithink the band her is called the animals

  • @rds13601 Bugger! I thought I was the only one that spotted that!

  • This guy is on his own trip and I love his smarts to do it.

  • @Mangapulse precisely! He owned the world not the other way around.

  • People over look how good of an actor he is. Also, I think Adrian Below (Talking Heads) did the guitar work on this track.

  • Does anyone know where i can find the beginning of this music video?

  • jean genie give me a whirl.

    jean genie let me bite your twix

    in......blue jeans.

    id like to share a bratwurst with you

    my blue jeans.

    they are pink gril and round, and

    ...i hate them - take them back now mother !!

  • Bowie Rocks!

  • strangely one of his normal outfits

  • Impossibly beautiful ....top models would kill for that bone structure...who, but David, could make both a nerdy guy AND an animated genie look so hot you melt :):):)

  • @christinechurch1963

    No kidding. Some nerd, lol, David looks too cute in his suit.

  • most people could

  • the nerd Bowie at the table is great - I can relate to that guy.

  • wow it is suprising that kids my age actualy like this too someone should start a channel for young bowie fans and we can keep a record of all the worlds young bowie fans and just maybe we can keep his music alive for generations to come :)

  • @bowiesyoungestfan what do you mean keep it alive it is already up running and alive

  • @girleslife u do know techno and lame music like that is taking over but the more people talk about bowie the more people will like him

  • love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuu

    <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

  • davied is the best

    check out china girl

  • a little 2 dark i cant tell is it him at the table also?

  • No matter what role he is playing, Bowie is always a class act.

  • I'm 14 and I absoloutely adore him. He is so unique and and special and I also love how he's so cutely awkward with the woman at the table. :) David Bowie is one very talented man. :D

  • I love the way Bowie dances... even when hes standing still he looks so graceful.

  • im 15 to and i think the same as you

  • Im 15 and im a fan

    He has great music

  • @xxlilmizzplayboyxx cool someone else who likes bowie who is the same age as me

  • nose candy

  • This is the cutest video, just the way Mr. Bowie acts so awkward with the girl at the table. I love guys like that. And he's such a hottie as the painted dancing genie-like singer/performer.

  • bowie shoud have acted in kurosawa akira's films. very alluring and exotic!

  • è fantastico sembra uscito da un fumetto molto sexy

  • Bowie reminds me of Taco here

    LOL

  • Sigh. The Bowie in the audience was me at one point. There's no crime in trying is there?

  • @ yakovlievich...yeah, i've been that guy also, for months it seems. Then there been times that I could do no wrong getting sometimes 2girls in the same day. I thought maybe it was a confidence issue, looking back now, I think it is all random.

  • ok but isnt a comedian

  • Im the same age as his youngest fan? I'm sure theres younger

  • ya i just say that im his youngest new zealand fan

  • hilarious. He is so talented as a comedian in addition to everything else!

  • nobody moves like bowie

  • na i didnt know dat

  • did you know that the bass player in the video is Richard Fairbrass from Right said Fred!

  • ya he rules

  • hes the 2 men the one singing and the one wit the lady

  • it's contour-shadowing make up, and they did a really good job on it, this video was actually taken out of a twenty minute special that he did called 'Jazzin' for Blue Jean' it's pretty funny actually, you can find it on youtube

  • @getmadgetmad1

    it's him

  • It took me a few moments to realise he is also the dorky guy with the girl. Is he wearing a band aid on his nose? How cute!! I really like the way they did his make up while he's singing. It makes him look like he popped out of a drawing.

  • Really?? Do you know what David Bowie looks like? Did you watch the whole video?

  • Whats that suppose to mean? "Do i know what he looks like?" Of course i know what David Bowie looks like.

  • Possibly not. He's the one who's with the woman throughout the clip.

  • I KNOW that. And he's also the one singing.

  • David Bowie is so talented. This video always makes me happy! The lyrics are very poetic and interpreted differently by everyone. I think that is an awesome quality in music. I just wonder what he mean when he states, "She has a police bike!" David Bowie thank you for sharing your talent to the world.

  • I love David's turban. I love him in this video, the dancing one not the one sitting at the table. XD

  • I love the geeky Bowie. He's so cute!

  • michael jackson at 2:38 ;) Just kiddin'

  • Exelente canción, muy buena  como la de let's dance!!

  • david bowie was a little concerned about his sexuality, which was a bit odd by british standards, so he was a little self--conscious and compensated by being "creative"

  • Not sure anyone can decide to just be creative one day and have it work so well.

  • Comment removed

  • why does the singer look like a cartoon?

  • because it's david bowie!!! he can look like whatever he wants when he sets his odd mind to it, literally he'll look like anything!

  • this song is definitaly my favorite, love the video <3

  • whats on his nose at 2:21?

  • a band-aid

  • well, like i knew that but why?

  • this video is part of a (approximately) 20 min long short film where david bowie played a dorky guy who puts up billboards. he tries to get a girl to go to a show with him. you can find it on youtube somewhere.

  • @LittleMsJessiLove In the longer video he's up a ladder trying to let this girl go past and then he accidentally slides down the ladder and cuts his nose in the process. I think it actually happened for real and they just put a band aid on him and left it in the film. Cos you see a little blood in the ladder scene.

  • i love david bowie

  • Bowie never looks dated!

  • Woosh Oleander

  • too fast

  • one of the most perfect portrayals of the 1980's

  • A classic one of the last Great Bowie songs

  • love his face make-up, it's awesome. wunderful song

  • androgynous men are cool

  • This version of the music video is my favorite. Love it!

  • Wonderful, this double role...

  • A reallu clued up guy, and a a good musician.

  • For you veganstardust from the time we were still going strong and so was Bowie. Love always. xxxx

  • Just gets Bowier and Bowier!

  • Another great David Bowie song. . .need I say more. . .

  • Jebeno je NAJBOLJI

    greeting from Serbia

  • David Bowie looks awesome in this music video!

  • me gusta muchoi la voz de bowie! pero yo creo q todos sus albunes son totalmente diferentes.

  • richard fairbrass- right said fred singer on guitar! ha ha

  • Perhaps. It's a great video, though.

  • AWESOME!!!

  • Maestroooo!!! x vos me hacia puto!, eeeeeeeehhhh!!! mejor no.... jajajaa

  • God he was (is) beautiful! And I love him in this clip. No-one can compare to this guys talent. I can't think of another artist who is as talented, creative, unique and fascinating.

    And I STILL fancy the pants off the guy, even though he is now 60 something years old.

  • Don't worry, it's totally understandable!

  • Bowie is in a world all his own. I think he purposely fascinates his audiences, putting each person into a trance of sorts. This is one of my favorite Bowie numbers.

  • That face... *sighs & smiles*

  • dis my fav david bowie song (luv them all)

  • HA when he first down the stage the guy next to the stage:L what a munter

  • wow..he's so hot! (:

    and this song is very great. <3

  • What a sexy and talented man!!

  • I Second That!

  • Does anyone know what was with the bandaid on his nose at 2:30?

  • yes when the video was made in the 80's , i'm not exactly sure witch way it happened , but the long version of the video is bowie telling the girl he knows the singer and can arrange for them to meet , like i say its a while since i seen it but its incident packed and lasts at least 15 min's .

  • In the 20 min version, he sees the girl while he is putting up a blue jean poster and he falls off of the ladder while trying to look cool.... i got the video from a chrity shop for 20p :)

  • Cheeky! Have you uploaded it yet? I'm sure me a few million people would LOVE to see it!!

  • I wish i could but i dont know how too? :(

  • It's ok Cheeky(LOVE the name!) I'm sure someone will soon.

  • thnxsy...i'll see if my comp wiz mate can do it for me because i would love to upload it too :)

  • On the longer version he's putting up the letters for the venue add on the wall outside and falls down on the ladders hurting his nose. Somehow he ends up in the performer's (Bowie in paint) dressing room, seeing him without his makeup. The performer promises to come and say hello to him (the twerpy Bowie) so he could make a good impression on the girl just he won't tell anyone what he looks like without makeup. Of course the performer knows the girl and he.... (I won't spoil the end....)

  • It's on youtube somewhere I remember watching it here.. unless it was removed?

    xD

  • wow, his make-up and costume in this video is awesome. When it comes to theatrics, David Bowie is king.

  • David Bowie sits down next to the Robert Palmer girl and asked her "Hey,you see anybody you know here?"LOL

  • Man, he's so damn fine!

  • in his day yes

    but man, i love bowie to pieces, but he has really bad teeth.

  • i think his teeth are cute : ) like a trademark

  • Rabid. You obviously know what beauty is. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm positive your beautiful on the inside, as well as the outside. Adrian

  • don't kiss him then :P

  • I remember buying the extended vinyl when it came out, but could never really get into, sorry. I think this was too...ummm 80"s?? yeah I know it was the80's but ...the sound did nothing for me.

  • never gets old
