Scary Monsters in the greatest compilation Album of all time. Bowie used all he knew to a write a great song in almost every one his previous reincarnation...
Yes, definitely sick musicians. Really good. One of his best records. So many great pieces. I could go on,....oh, his make up and costume, brilliant. Better than Ziggy, I think. Thanks for putting this on You Tube.
"Sam" is just a name of a fictional character for the song. Calling someone a "gun" is another way of saying they are sharp, cool, etc... Like saying, "That guy's a real pistol!" The entire song is about racial and social prejudice and the subsequent resistance given by those that are attacked for their differences. Unfortunately Sam doesn't do so well with his resistance...
I first listened to this album about 5 years ago and I keep "re-getting" into it; everytime I get a new enjoyment out of it- the whole thing is a mind blower.
Very unique and almost perfectly composed music, lylic, and song.
Too much underrated song. I really love this song!
