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.
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
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 :):):)
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 :)
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
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.
@ 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.
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
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.
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.
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"
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.

This song is awful! This is Bowie at his worst since 'Laughing Gnome' e.g. This is not a David Bowie song. It is so lightweight and I think that Bowie himself has disowned such songs. This was Bowie's Phil collin's period. Yuk!
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.
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.
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 :)
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....)
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
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.
