very much the same version my daughter and I sing together, its nice to have a version before it was polished and it just be a song about his child not the almost pop classic it nearly became.
what a shame! at least you know of it now. You should really buy the album Hunky Dory. it's got kooks and tons of great bowie tracks. Life on mars?, Andy Warhol, Oh you pretty things, changes. The list goes on and on.
In June of 1971, Neil Young's latest album would've been "After The Goldrush." I can't think of anything on it that sounds like it would've been an inspiration for this (certainly not lyrically), but then, who knows how Bowie's mind works.
Kooks, a celebratory Hymm!?? i call all my siblings kooks! i also have a naritive for them, its zaamaza! quite proud of that! Ooooh the sun is comming u right here, its like been on cremitoria!!! vin desal, "where can i get eyes like that"
Ah, my hero!

A few people clicked on the dislike button. Why, was it the song or Bowies pants you didn't like?

This is beautiful, a Bowie track that I was unaware of until recently.

This is great. I love Hunky Dory, it's my second favorite Bowie albums, but I've never heard Kooks live. It's really a good song.

i have this on my copy of "Bowie At The Beeb"; i first heard it this morning... to think i got Diamond Dogs this week instead of Hunky Dory.
i love the extra line, too!
sounds like he used a twelve string; rich sounds.
