David Bowie - Time Will Crawl

[FoolsLaughter]

His hair was kind of awesome here, wasn't it? In a kind of...poofy way....:)

[alphonsedot]

i sosososo wish i was 1 of those dancers working w/ him

[queenofgoblings]

Although David was supposed to be in a creative crisis by this time, he was still able to make wonders like tthis (video included). I love how they move him like a puppet, the coreography is great!

[RebelAlien84]

@queenofgoblings I agree with you 100%!!!! I love this video too. There's no doubt that you have excellent taste in music ;)

[queenofgoblings]

@RebelAlien84 Thank you so much, Rebel! I can tell the same about you, it´s enough to enter your channel to notice it. Kisses!

[MimeInManBody]

terrific video, I love the coreography.

[Bowiefan1214]

One of his most underrated songs :'(

[Seana1Ford]

I guess this is where being an ex-mime comes in handy :) but god I absolutely love him. He is perfect.

[Hainer8]

''Despite the naff eighties production this is Bowie at his very best. Great song.

[SkwerlBergamot]

david bowie is talos

this is why i choose stormcloaks

[Jtp0002]

@SkwerlBergamot Hey you jerk talos is the one that started the empire, so technically you are going against talos and therefore against david bowie. I shall now have to kill you for such a sin

[blkcat1028]

Bowie is the consummate performer. If you've never seen it, get the video "Glass Spider". It's amazing.

[LadyBowie1119]

I don't get the video, but I LOVE the song. :) I like 1:39 - the roll thing.

[XoXoluvWolvesXoXo]

Hehe that smile at around 3:45!!<3 :D

Great song and funny video. :3

[TheBookWorm1718]

Serious song, funny video, we would've liked this also if the video was serious but I think the majority of us prefer it this way, :) It's so funny seeing David get tossed around like a doll, to say nothing of everybody else.

[screwdigitaldish]

I love how the black guy dances.

[monty8010]

La canción no es que me entusiasme, y el disco tampoco, pero que requetebueno que está.......¡Por Dios!.

[dcadaw]

I think I just died <3

[SuperILUVMJ]

I luv Peter xD

[howltothemoon101]

screw modern music...BRING BACK BOWIE

[bluemoonshinya]

peter frampton on guitar.

[DeathsExile]

I cant figure out what the hell the video is about but the song is good

[TheBikerCheese]

@DeathsExile The song and the video seam like they are some kind of play on the Odyssey and the chernobyl disaster. Very artful.

[TheBookWorm1718]

@TheBikerCheese Well this song WAS based on Chernobyl. When it happened, David and his crew were some of the first people to get word about it but when they contacted other people to find out more, nobody had any idea what they were talking about. He said those hours until the story broke and everybody knew about it were very claustrophobic and a lot of images came to him that he turned into the song.

[TheBikerCheese]

@TheBookWorm1718 That's interesting, thanks! I don't remember what I got the Oddysey references from, weird.

[MultiSwon]

LOVE SONG BOWIE SONG FOREVER

[THEprincessFirefly]

creepy 80ies video!

[LethalDestrutor1244]

David Bowie has a gift, that is to do great songs, but retarded videos!

[1965maple]

Great song, retarded video.

[IceAngel262]

That man is sex personified. <3

[tzerokool]

i wish i knew him so i could kidnap him how many of you are thinking this

[philbee56]

[Abbyjo8881]

Ooh god, his hair is orgasmic..

[BourgeoisieTV]

when you see something like this you realize how laughable anything that Lady Gaga and her ilk are doing...Sadly, kids nowadays don't know any better..

[TheBookWorm1718]

@BourgeoisieTV Indeeeeeed, you're never going to hear this song on the radio today.

[BarberwireBeast]

He really is quite attractive for an older man... Well, being I'm 17 lol.

[emreeeemmmrrreee]

david bowie'nin kaslı zenciler tarafından sağa sola fırlatıldığını görmez olaydım oy. görmez olaydım diloy...

[stevobath]

My fave BOWIE SONG EVER!

[Ratzelslaff]

Fantasy land.... Disney makes a fortune on it. MTV was breaking ground way back then.

Youth then, youth now... energy. Lots of energy.

Bless the lot of them.

[hethenia]

Got to love that creepy smile at 3:45 mmmmmm love him

[peterlive]

PETER FRAMPTON ROCKS ON THIS VIDEO TOO

[peterlive]

PETER FRAMPTON ROCKS ON THIS VIDEO AND HIS PLAYING ON THE SONG TOO.

[leonakita]

@peterlive Frampton's a goon!... he hardly plays shit and this video is garbage attempt by Bowie to recapture his theatrical days... everything about this album and tour sucked the big one...this video is no exception!...at least Frampton has the where-with-all to not participate in the stupid theatrics...its like 80s gymnastics on crack!

[HebeHebeHebe1]

I wish there was a LOVE button!

[PeterRoeder31]

This is about the coolest song I have ever heard.

[AindaMais]

@Supermigg Lol, indeed, I was too mesmerized by her moves to notice:)) Do you realize the insane amount of control she has over her muscles to do that? amazing

[watch0view]

press 8 over and over again..... she's giving the most ferocious head i have EVER seen

[Moonshine3991]

Seriously, is there anybody more incredible than David Bowie?! Not likely. XD

Btw, I loved his hair here! He looks amazing! <3

[JuliaGillardOfficial]

fukvevo.

[AindaMais]

3:47 - 3:53 HOW THE HELL IS THAT GIRL DOING THAT?!? AWESOMENESS.

[TheBookWorm1718]

@AindaMais LOL I'd like to know that too!

[Moonshine3991]

@AindaMais My thoughts exactly!!! XD

[Supermigg]

@AindaMais If you look at the end, you can notice how her feet are tied to the floor using a mechanism similar to when you go skiing :) that's how she can move her body like that

[1silvergirl2]

[].[] I just relized somethng, David Bowie kinda looks like a younger version of my dad.... creepy.

[incognitoboy]

i saw the 'glass spider' tour in denver this group of dancers with him was the same group he took on tour....toni basil is among them and did the choreography. the guitarist in the video also toured with him. you might have heard his name...peter frampton?

[DreiaeugigeSpinne]

Whos that black guy? :D.

[Ozepyon09]

Am I the only one who thinks the little rub at 1:02 is cute?

[TheBookWorm1718]

@Ozepyon09 No you ain't the only one. Does make you wonder though if it was intentional or not.

[SweetenThekitty96]

@Ozepyon09

No I think so too! :)

[scarlettrose11]

3:43 that smile!! *____*

[emirushadow]

He's wonderful. He's God.

[martinez1671]

the black guys gay

[Ellathegreatable]

@martinez1671 well who wouldn't be around david bowie ;D

[TheBookWorm1718]

@Ellathegreatable  Women.

[Ellathegreatable]

@TheBookWorm1718 you make alot of sence ;D

[panomenson]

super cool song i like that bowie number 1

[TheBookWorm1718]

LOL Poor David, in this video he seems like the guy that in school during baseball they would've used HIM as the first base.

[GUILDENSTERNSGAL]

There has almost always been something old about David's face. Gorgeous, of course but in some way wizened, like you can see through him to the wonderful old man he will one day become.

[ldavidtennantfan]

i seriously laughed my arse of when that black guy started dancing around 2:20

[ldavidtennantfan]

oh, God i love the way he looks in this video! thumbs up if you agree

[8BlueSkies]

@ldavidtennantfan I know!!! Bowie around this time was awesomely sexy....and in Labyrinth - woah!

[orinanime]

@ldavidtennantfan

absolutely!!!

this is one of my all-time favorite looks for him

[leonakita]

@orinanime red-haired mullet Bowie is better!...Bowie will forever be the only man a mullet looks good on !

[orinanime]

@leonakita

nah. i don't like his mullet look that much.

mostly, because it's accompanied by the make-up covered forehead with no eyebrows.

And I think still think Billy Ray Cyrus pulled it off.

And Bono's rockin' mullet.

Also, Patrick Swayze will forever rock the greatest mullet of all time.

[egrorian1]

@orinanime Bowie doesn't have a mullet in the Time Will Crawl vid! There is a great misconception that all 80s long hair on men was somehow a mullet, not so - it needs to be short at the sides, which Bowie's isn't here! Later on the Glass Spider Tour he got it shorn at the sides, so that was a mullet yes, but not here.

[orinanime]

@egrorian1

Actually.... I'm aware that this isn't a mullet.

Never said it was.

It's too long in the front.

And it doesn't actually need to be SHORT at the sides. Just SHORTER. A mullet is ANY hair-style where the hair is noticeably/remarkably shorter on the sides, top, and front, than it is in the back.

Which is why I mention Bono.

Just look at Superman in the 90s.

[egrorian1]

@orinanime okay, fair enough, sorry

[egrorian1]

@leonakita this isn't a mullet! There is a great misconception that all 80s long hair is a 'mullet' - not so, it needs to be short at the sides, which Bowie's hairdo isn't.

[leonakita]

@egrorian1 i didnt say it was... i was referring to his ziggy days, 'mullet'

[Ellathegreatable]

It's bad how attractive i find this man ;D <3333

[Promthanius]

@Ellathegreatable  Not really ^_^

[botbagel]

Luciousness...sheer luciousness...excuse me while I drool....XD

[AkumaXKami]

@botbagel I'm with you there! Seriously, only David Bowie could make suspenders look sexy.

[elzashan]

@AkumaXKami You obviously havn't seen torchwood. :D

[perversiadark]

AWWWW MI AMOOOOOOOOOOR! SE VE TAN FRAGIL! KIERO KIERO!!!!

[HewittH]

If you watch closely at about 3:15, Frampton comes alive!

[GraceHasGoneInsane]

I am a MASSIVE daivd bowie fan since i was young but i've never herd this song before O.O this shocks me since this song IS AWESOME!!!

[StevenLoos]

That man is just way too fucking beautiful. He has to be an alien. Nobody can stay THAT good-looking for so long.

[alixinthemiddle]

0:28

SURPRISE SEX!!! =D

[davebikes]

Loved the Lyrics and so glad you posted this . Cheers!

[vfrl4fma]

ok who are the two retards that disliked this song

[thevoid99]

@vfrl4fma i think one of them was david himself. he didn't like that album.

[vfrl4fma]

@thevoid99 oh in that case i do appologise to Mr. Bowie, who is that one retard who disliked this song

[catgirl1234]

I love this! He may not be a great dancer, but the body language says it all.

[knrose10]

EPIC WIN!!!!!!!

[ilikecheetosevenmore]

Another great vid by the God of Rock! XD

[sierrakanani]

I love 3:46, so cool!

I love this song!

Nothing can beat Bowie's awesomeness!

[antheaize]

I love this video, is so strong, like the song... so dinamic, so nice.,

[LeBonGirl007]

omg...saw the Glass spider tour and this live....feckin amazing...love him!!! xxx

[COMP3LLED2KILL]

What is this song about?

[NekoJenn]

@COMP3LLED2KILL Stuff.

[Bowiefan1214]

@COMP3LLED2KILL

people like to say it's about pollution and stuff like that, but it seems like that's mostly speculation.

[StarKillerLucas]

@COMP3LLED2KILL According to Wikipedia,it's about "the pollution and destruction of the planet by industry"

[Cyndizdayswar]

@StarKillerLucas It's about Chernobyl. Bowie was in Germany and saw the whole mess on TV while wondering if radiation could get there..

[Cyndizdayswar]

@Cyndizdayswar No, wait. Switzerland was the place and he heard it on the radio. A norwegian radio broadcast. And he felt really claustrophobic since the norwegian guy on the radio was screaming "about huge billowing clouds were moving over from the Motherland and they weren't rain clouds".

[mrjohnnyboy65]

let's face it...the video is pretty damn stupid....BUT THE SONG ROCKS!

[VeraLynn72]

This video is very symbolic of how the 80's consumed David, made him feel lost and changed him, forcing him to break away from all the media in the 90's with Tin Machine.

[gotbugplz]

He's so sexy. :I

[ilikecheetosevenmore]

@gotbugplz Yesh! XD

[naomihart1]

i love the part of him crouched in front of the mirror, he seems to have so much FUN, it makes me smile every time!

[LadyValentine666]

i love this song David Bowie Is God!!!! <3

[SweetAsylum610]

lol the guy at the end totally did a Bruce Lee when he kicked out the light

[mountainhigh88]

Been there then...

[ViolinGnome]

I think I am in love with his outfit in this video.....and his hair.

!!!!

[kasey88cmc]

i love the song :)

[elliedrama46]

Im loving the 80s steryotypes......ALL OF THEM.

[gyruss73]

Frampton baby!

[freiskveirt]

Been addicted to this song since I heard it again a month ago or so.

A dark emotion, of longing and fear, comes back everytime I listen to it.

He took a top gun pilot and made him fly through a hole 'til he got real old...

(Seems like Relativity issue).

[ninelivecat]

Saw Glass Spider Tour in Slane Castle 1987 I was a teenager remeber drinking Pints of Cider in the Round O pub in Navan on the way to the show It was a great day

[bolerocrew]

I took a long long time

And they grew real old

And our eyes will melt

And hopefully it'll end.

[jshdy36e9dj]

he act's and look's soooo Gay!..he is but a good singer, one of my fav's of all time!

[createhavok]

he isnt gay

[finnan0333]

@createhavok He's bisexual.

[createhavok]

yeah i read the interview where he talked about it. not really our business anyways.

[BowieGirley]

like createhavok said... he doesn't look gay to me.... he interesting....

[elliedrama46]

very interesting.....i cant look away!

[SuperHeroMan411]

no its being unique this is why he, michael jackson and prince to name a few are so great its not gay its called art and it works.

[elliedrama46]

I love this video soo much! this song is the cats pajamas! tee-hee

[elliedrama46]

why does he look so cute in this video? like he's having sooooo much fun...

[elliedrama46]

there is no way you can love david bowie too much......unless you are a "stalker"

[PrincessAmy777]

Now there's a very slight possibility that I love this video just a bit too much.

[sisterdebmac]

I'd really love to see this video. If the damn thing would LOAD. Jeezus!

[wbr150]

Peter Frampton at 2:20...

[sisterdebmac]

He first appears at 1:05, actually.

[mchelo18]

I absolutely love the action in this video, it seems most of the time they are improvising, and their gestures go so well together.

David Bowie = eternal love of my heart!

[sisterdebmac]

They were rehearsing for the Glass Spider Tour, actually. Putting together the stage show.

[caseof88]

i love bowie he is soo gorgeous :)

[tallcoolone09]

i saw him sing this song live on his Glass Spider Tour in Edmonton, Alberta Canada at Commonwealth Stadium in August 1987.

i'll never forget it...it was awesome concert.

Duran Duran and The Goergia Satellites opened up for him.

[SpaceOddity38]

I absolutely love his hair in this.

[watrpolo1]

I love when u haven't heard a song n such a long time & u hear it again & its like new all over again. I love!

[twistedviewlabs]

this video proves that Tim Pope uses the same video techniques. it's the only bowie video i mistake for a cure video sometimes (tim pope directed quite a few videos for them...)

[Demonosapien13]

I love David Bowie. :)

That very passionate black man made me laugh through the whole video, though.

[Hoople92]

Penso che se vedessi quest'uomo sverrei...lo amo,non ci posso fare niente!

Amo il modo in cui balla,le espressioni del suo viso,i suoi denti....i suoi denti erano una cosa da andare fuori di testa quando ancora non li aveva rifatti <3<3

[SpaceOddity38]

Happy Birthday Mr. Jones!

[retroEddz]

Whoa, that first part with the passionate black guy scared me a bit. I was like, " Bowie?! David, look out!!"

[gyruss73]

@retroEddz No doubt, and did ya see the jumpkick "the passionate black guy" launched at the end to bust that light out. That is One scary "passinate black guy"

[ilikecheetosevenmore]

@gyruss73 Lmao! You are awesome!

[sarzada]

@retroEddz 

[72DANNILO]

bowie is the best and this song too

[robbie1yermaw]

this is my favourite song!!!

[Buffalunky3]

I'm gonna be glad when the streets run red... I havent had any ketchup for my hotdogs D:!

[LadyBowie30]

Bowie is so sexy! I can't wait until I get another tattoo of him!

[marypiscore]

amazing, he was very fit, was't he? hahaha

[TheBookWorm1718]

@marypiscore  Oh God, I hope I'm that limber at 40, LOL.

[GOTHICCHIC4]

his hair is great considering the year

[everestthunders]

Song from Never let me down LP. Saw this in Madrid, Vicente Calderón stadium on July 87, by the Glass Spider World Tour.

I saw the show for the guest band. THE STRANGLERS.

One question, anybody knows whats from Bowwie, I heard rumours he is seriously ill??

Best

[arabiansanchez]

He was ill 5 years ago when he required an angioplasty for a blocked artery.

nowadays he is fine so far as anyone knows. According to his wife iman, via twitter, he is "cooking up something I'm sure you'll all like."

It appears he is, to some extent anyway, making a new album.

[everestthunders]

gracias

[Gorviee]

@arabiansanchez Oh my gosh, I hope you're right!

[mchelo18]

That was a fake twitter account, sorry to break the bad news, but it doesn't seem likely that he will release anything soon.

It seems he is retired. Brian Eno said David is "not interested in music anymore". But rumor has it that in fact his health is too fragile to perform or record, although they won't let the fans know for commercial reasons.

[rebeccaliebregts]

Retired? I think I just saw the world turn a bit darker =[

Bowie - you'll never get old <33
