Ching a Ling

[Sordidlives1973]

Too bad it wasn't a huge hit!

[adric137]

very creative 

[tizz306]

I thought the song was written by Andy Farmer (guy on the right), now deceased. I have a copy of the original acetate.

[norcicoso]

@tizz306 that's not Andy Farmer !!!

[norcicoso]

@tizz306 that's John Hutchison !!!!!

[gazzah54]

are we talking about missing lik elliot

[hootsmon]

He later used his harmonic melody in WIDTH OF A CIRCLE on THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD...Lifts the sweet folk to another level

[steffiphillips]

@hootsmon

"saviour machine"

[sSurrenderDorothy]

A lesson to us all: even if you suck and make crap music, you just might end up bloody brilliant in the end anyway.

[JVRWi]

That fucking bitch dumped bowie, fuck her. She probably regretted that as she saw what kind of man he growed out to be! On the other hand, the break-up gave bowie much inspiration and motivation. Bowie is the man!

[Lilithdammit]

God, Hermione was so beautiful.

[gotbugplz]

@Lilithdammit hermione looks like a man

[gazzah54]

this is not the full version

[trig]

"The Dame!"

[ToxicBassAus]

im scared ):

[actron]

Bowie is such a master songwriter. I love his use of chords and melody. Always great to find a tune of his I havent heard before, thanks for posting this.

[HotKit]

I'm with Notzi1981! I, too, listen to a lot of music genres.

[davidbowiegirl1]

This is actually Ching-A-Ling. Anyways, I love both the song and the video. So beautiful. This song reminds me a bit of Bowie's song...um... was it All the madmen... He's a true recycler! :D

[channelvessel]

you see he even saw he rise of the cushion as the 21st century gift of choice! what a true prophet

[Willbequeen]

I never thought I would find this. What a rare piece of Bowie history! And Hermione, his first love. Thanx :)

[Ninja1058]

wtf.....i typed in ching a ling hoping to hear some missy elliot.....not this weird hippie stuff

[5871248]

hey ninja wtf I dialed in chingaling for some soul dance groove from the sixties so we both got screwed by whoever these freaks are. haha wtf some more.. hissssss no offense to elephant man whats his face squiggy starman

[gringolazlo]

typical stupid hip hop person.

[Notzi1981]

I'm sorry, but I must interject that your labeling of all hip hop fans as stupid is incorrect. I'm a fan of hip hop music, including Missy, and I liked her "Ching-a-Ling" song. However, I also like this song, and I am a big David Bowie fan as well. I have an electic taste when it comes to music, and I appreciate many genres. Ironically enough, I've even made a David Bowie fan vid set to Missy's "One Minute Man." All hip hop fans don't have the same mentality.

[gav240z]

The fact that both you idiots were looking for Missy Elliot says it all. This is an early outtake to a B-side of David Bowie's music.

David Bowie invented all sorts of genre's Missy Elliot couldn't hold a candle to David's work.

[theachtungtree]

@gav240z he actually borrowed from the velvets, hard rock and kraut rock-brian eno scene..but made it his own with exceptional works of course

[lawabidinganarchist]

@gav240z Brilliant analysis :) am I correct though in saying also David just does the backing on this? It is such a spooky phenomenal tune though, it reminds me of my first love..I love this track.

[ziggy99]

Sooo young...sooo bowish...I love ya

[Lovethecookies]

what the fuck is this?

[rochelend]

Music !!! you dumn fuck

[Lovethecookies]

wtf, tering hippies.

[Love60sMusic]

hou je bek!

[MandyKazooBowie]

Yeah I know. I said that a long time ago, and I was mad at the time. But I still wouldn't have been mean to David like she was.

[Eatahoho]

What the fuck...

[estymomo]

the chorus of this song was later used on "savior machine" on the man who sold the world album

[blackmore4]

So it was. Well spotted!

[estymomo]

hutch worked with bowie up to the ziggy period

[MandyKazooBowie]

David is so adorable!!! Poor guy. Hermione sucks. Her judgment does anyway. Bet she regrets everything now. How could anyone stand to break David's heart? He is so sweet and kind and amazing. Breaking his heart is the stupidest thing you could ever do to him.

[blackmore4]

MandyKazooBowie: "David is so adorable!!! Breaking his heart is the stupidest thing you could ever do to him."

You got "Letter to Hermione" out of it, didn't you.

Reading your teeny-bop 'Jackie' post, I'm not sure whether to chuckle or weep, unless you were satirizing said magazine. If so, bravo; "stupidest" is an ironic gem. If not, may I advise re-reading your stuff before posting.

Then again, I have been entertained.

[MandyKazooBowie]

Ha, takes a lot to entertain you, blackmore4

[eliseandnicky]

david bowie is so cute, e looks so young and innocent, i just wanna hug him!!!!

[ziggystardustlover]

David is MY lover. Not yours, Hermione, you cold hearted bitch. I bet you feel real good about breaking the best man on earth's heart. Don't you?

[koyee514]

有冇歌詞?

[ScenesFromPalacio]

Woh! I'm reading Tony Visconti's autobiography and just typed this in on the off chance-I'd never heard it! I love Bowies novelty songs-so think this is great!

Thanks so much for uploading:)

[CaptFlamingo]

Hutch is actually a pretty decent singer.

Whatever happened to the man?

[FragCashJared]

He became my father!

[CaptFlamingo]

Hah, nice!

Next time you see him please tell him some dork on the internet appreciates his singing talents.

[tiptopdadddy]

Sometimes getting your heart broke is the best thing to ever happen to you.

[mrtyles]

i love they put david atop two pillows.

[gotbugplz]

@mrtyles they're all on two pillows

[katmass]

and hermione left Bowie for that guy.. do you think she regrets it now? LOL

[binkerbutter]

[loyalqueen]

I don't like Hermoine she looks like a bitch...no offence LoL no offence to this to its a crap song. BTW i LOve young bowie he looks sooo cute....its funny looking at him there its like damn boy u gots no idea wats in store for u lol.

[cheerbear237]

That's Hermione alright. She broke his heart. The Deram Anthology is one of my favorite Bowie albums. Thanks for posting!

[CalandrielAurealin]

Amazing.

[AnnieIOS]

Holy crap!! Is that the infamous Hermione? Thanks for sharing!!

[femdog]

He was such a cute little Mod!

[juniperandlamplight]

Ooh, nice! I've been looking for this on the 'net. I have some serious inappropriate love for Mod Bowie...and for this song :D . Thanks for sharing!
