Be My Wife - David Bowie

[Sakuya727]

HE'S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­O DAMN HOT I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Moonberry94]

I AGREE! :D

[claulo9]

i lived around the world,i left every place.

[AstroSconeMaster]

David Bowie, Why don't you be my wife? I have never wanted anything in my 16 years of existence more than you to just be my Wife.

[Sakuya727]

@AstroSconeMaster Because he's a man. He can't be a wife unless he gets the snippity snip at the surgeon's office which is very unlikely.

[weareangrypeople42]

I love his old teeth with a burning passion. Look how lovely they are. RIP, Bowie's old teeth

[BrucoisaDD]

This guy is the androgyny alive!

[fraserclubbx]

3:04

"David, over here!"

"Where? Oh, there you are."



[noelkanderson]

Does he have the flu?

[bigcheese83]

@noelkanderson No, thats how he looks on Coke and Milk

[bigcheese83]

@noelkanderson No, thats how he looks on Coke and Milk

[Groblinfull]

ok

[pwcf5]

The coolest Grandfather on the World Wide Web.!!!

[rico0laura]

song, fuck I hate typos

[rico0laura]

This sonf is beyond perfect.

[grzegorzwasacz91]

podobny do Tomasza Jabłońskiego!

[izzostiles]

ok david, if u insist....i will be your wife!

(take me!)

[NightmareLoveForever]

Don't have to ask me twice.

[BowieBabe047]

Damn, he is just so sexy! ^_^

[Klitja]

awful teeth

[pwcf5]

@Klitja

Awful teeth.!!!

You must be American, ok, lets talk about supersize fat fuckers in your bit of planet

[vintageification]

Classic!

[YorkistWhiteRose]

Something about this song makes me sad. I don't know why, but....

[sanctanoxstudios]

This video is very reminiscent of the Love You Til Tuesday promotional film.

[0ladyjulie0]

you will always be in my earth...

[ziggiette]

YES, DAVID, I WILL!!!

[StudioScarecrow]

marilyn manson proposed to his wife at a david bowie concert while he was playing this song

kinda sweet

[medusarayproductions]

Really reminds me of the club scene in "Mullholland Drive" which is by far the most disturbing moment of the film(When the singer just falls over). I think that was the intention with this video.

[Prothalamion]

Only Bowie can make loneliness and depression look like something to aspire to. A condition loaded with possibilities and artistic integrity.

Prozac....... eat your chemical heart out.

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

David KILLLLS me in this video. He looks so perfection.

[supersonicbird11]

I just wish we heard womething from Mr Bowie would be lovly, is he retiring from music ? well i guess he continued silence cld give us all a huge clue, and his bioagrapher says no as well, but DB has always kept his audience in suspence, but not quite for this long however

[rm009z0858]

@supersonicbird11 If he has retired he has done so in the most dignified and artistic way only he could do. No farewell tour, no fanfare, no announcement, just stopping. I've been a Bowie fanatic for nearly 30 years and will be sad to see him Bowieng out but who knows what's inside that genius mind of his?

[iamyourfuture808]

@supersonicbird11 hasnt he previously retired about 5 times ?

just a good excuse for another come back ;-)

[RACHELisdaBOMBdotCOM]

i love u david bowie<3 ur music is so amazing and a true genius!!!!!

[MsSwwood]

Fucking amazing. :) I love you, David Bowie! :D

[sweetcanary3006]

he is just the most beautiful one

[newlyndays]

Such a tormented soul during this period.

[manciggy1]

I think this reached the dizzy heights of number 72 in the British charts!

[kiraspeaks]

repeat

[JLHoneyy]

Sometimes you get so lonely Sometimes you get nowhere I've lived all over the world I've left every place Please be mine Share my life Stay with me Be my wife Sometimes you get so lonely Sometimes you get nowhere I've lived all over the world I've left every place Please be mine Share my life Stay with me Be my wife Sometimes you get so lonely

[absegamifrosh8]

some times i get lonely, so i just watch this video...

[Eggs4Eva]

he's a sexy and im in love

[damedavid]

He looks beautiful but wasted, and there's so many closeups where you see pain written all over his face. It's hard to watch, but I still love it.

[Dravenswraith]

at about 1:09 reminds me of a franknfuter moment

[HuBiB123]

bowie-sensei

[southernbrooklyngal]

this guy has so much sex appeal

[billhardman]

what is with this riff... everybody seems to drag on it. Zepplin - The Rover....

must of been those passive aggressive powders they use to put on their bits

[MsWorkandplay]

he's the most amazing artist evr! i mean is there anything wrong with him in that cool Labyrinth movie? jim henson was so genius for picking him xD i luv him!

[MsWorkandplay]

he's the most amazing artist evr!

[Pfloydiana]

Lo que él quiera :)

[cappin]

Oh dear... Those Kind of Bowie fans

[MrIMBECILE1]

The guy is a true artist and knows exactly what he is doing in this video. Obviously a lot of younger viewers are seeing him for the first time and reading way far much into why he looks this way or that way. He is extremely talented. The guitar over the shoulder at the end is beyond cool.

[Chacha5678]

@MrIMBECILE1 just because someone's young doesn't mean they're ignorant

[acaae1]

Yes! I do!

[jeangenie1271]

It's AMAZING what a lot of makeup

can do to a person - SHEESH!!!

DJ

[turner475]

Just the best

[get2535]

he looks so sick....but one of the best music video ive ever seen

[macho844]

David bowie did so much coke, charlie sheen said damn!

[woahXgirl94]

1:03 ;)

[daverolo87]

COCAINE IS A HELL OF A DRUG!!! :)

[BlueUSAspy]

He is drunk. Look at the Kebab shop he is clearly craving rather than turning up for this. But seriously I prefer his 70s teeth to the mail order ones he has now. They are like a graveyard of mouth.

[SpiderFromMars97]

he's so high... XDDD

[cx6wieler]

Hahaaha it looks he has a very bad taste in his mouth......... Sorry david.....

Bud its a very beautyful song!!!!!!

[SpiderFromMars97]

If you insist, I may think about it..

[Joey69G]

Sublime!!! :)

[blueberrybabyful]

can't stop watching this video! incredible song! incredibly cool guitar! incredibly hilarious! with a super cool dude! fantastik!

[Eggs4Eva]

he had cut down his coke use by this time so i doubt he's off his face. i find him sexy ;)

[spaghettihorse1]

he looks like his mother here and speaking like his dad

[KatieM101388]

hahahahaha he's so creepy!! love him tho<3

[flame0154]

I WILL BE YOUR WIFE DAVID BOWIE.

[dlfunky1]

@flame0154 sorry too late!

[knnyphph]

He's totally giving off a Steve Buscemi vibe in this vid. lol

[darthmaul33]

Those 55 dislikes have crabs from raping their grandma.

[tomvanengelen]

I found PJ Harvey's video for This is Love an nice tribute to this video. Look for it and tell me you agree :-)

[bigjayalltheway]

you're.one.ugly.mothafucka.

But a genious indeed

[RyanLies]

@bigjayalltheway hes one hot mothafucka look at some newer vids or interviews

[Chacha5678]

@bigjayalltheway david bowie? ugly? lol nice try

[mrsmjforlife]

i'll be your wife david :D

[samuelwilliamsummers]

I'll be your wife David, and I'm male.

[steviecullen21]

Great track. I much preferred his vocal styling on the records from this period, lyrically as well, the songs seem more honest and less concerned with any need to be like 'David Bowie' as in his later eighties and nineties stuff. From Low to Scary Monsters was a very creative part of a glittering rock career. Still love this LP.

[saganemc2]

@unickDJ thank you very much! His interviews during the "Charlie" thing are difficult to watch at first. He seemed better after, smack or not. Having frequented both in about the same amount of time(thank cosmos I didn't have his loot!) I relate easily and the outward signs are discernible

[unickDJ]

@saganemc2

Yet the German city was the European capital of Heroine ( actualy with Rotterdam), and let's say that during the whole 1977 year he used frequently heroine ( together with a lot of alcohol !), those last 2 drugs 'helped' him somehow to forget quiet definitely cocaine.

But bravo, you are very perspicious having noticed that, I mean...REALLY!

[unickDJ]

@saganemc2

Indeed, sir, u r absolutely right...

I guess every Bowie's fan is aware of his huge addiction to COKE, not only when in the US between 74-76, but it started in the very earl 70's..

I guess this particular drug had to do with the massive proliferation of top ten hits almost every month 4 at least 5 years, but at the end of the TW duke tour during late 1976, he was almost ..dying! both his body and his mental were at the edge, and he flew to Berlin, where he quit this drug.

[saganemc2]

No one?

[saganemc2]

The image/mood displayed here shows one who is under the influence of at least one type of the opioid family of drugs. Is he attempting to set the tone of the subject matter with classic, obvious, outward maybe even cliche'signs of this type of inebriation. Or did he really have a problem with those. I mean, I knew about the cocaine......... the subject fascinates me.

[MorganDistortion]

this is the sexiest bowie has ever looked, scary , artistic and experienced. 55 people listen to rebecca black and cher lloyd

[transmitting13]

never new this vid existed

[Cocarat206]

I'll be his wife o_o

[unickDJ]

kamara thanks 4 this gift!

[beetlebum1990]

He looks weird holding a guitar

[DBCrowns]

@beetlebum1990 I think he looks sexy holding the guitar:)

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

I ADORE 'BE My Wife'. One of Bowie's finest tracks and man he looks fucking HOT in this video. I love his lips in this video *** The sound of this record is s BERLIN baby +

[leonakita]

Its almost as if Bowie went out of his way to look bad in this. Unibrow, pasty skin, unfluffed hair, full lipped blush lipstick and infected gums and a menacing frown and dismal look... Perhaps in full withdrawals of cocaine at this juncture.

[lawabidinganarchist]

@leonakita It is true he does have the needy look about him lol, fits in with the song at least :(

[tokimasa121]

One word: Unibrow.

[wearevibe]

@tokimasa121 Unibrows were in.

[lerocleroc]

what a strange uninteresting music video the music itself is great the video feels awkward

[fanoftiersen]

@lerocleroc

It's not uninteresting. It underlines the feeling of being lonely and misunderstood. I think it's great.

[drkgoddessSelena]

1:49 I wish I was that guitar xD Omg to be touched by him lol

[bebebuell1]

my favourite song and album was 13 then and still adore him now

[HebusxJebus]

I am straight but I can see he is a great lookin dude

[bunnyfish714]

best bowie song ever

[msbee901]

Oh my, I thought lipstick was a lady thing. Yet still sooo handsome!

[msbee901]

Oh my, I thought lipstick was a lady thing.

[Chacha5678]

@msbee901 its david bowie

[zaynzaynzayn]

This is where Bowie's look became more self-consciously intellectual and anti-fashion.

[naldo40]

that one-note guitar solo is pretty effective. i wonder if it is actually bowie playing. didn't think he played much guitar on his records

[Spirou12345678]

@naldo40 He played a lot of rhythm while Mick Ronson was in the band.-- and played some lead thereafter... not improbable.

[porcelaindoll2]

I hope whoever the makeup artist for this video was never hired again. I love you Bowie and you're hot, but that shade of lipstick is awful on you. I hope he didn't pick it out himself.

[EarlJemmings]

@porcelaindoll2

Could be that was the point. Think about the song from the aspect of a man who is not infinitely attractive, and it gives the whole song a new depth.

[cappin]

01:31 "gonna act out some lyrics.. what the..?? keep forgetting why i'm here..shit fuck..."

[cappin]

00:25 "where the fuck am i and who put this guitar in my hands"

[cappin]

Are me and my friends the only people who love this vid cos of how absolutely loaded on coke he is in it?? what is he doing with his face? or that guitar?? hahahah 1:03 god go through it frame by frame i'm crying with laughter :D:D love pre-detox bowie

[luneproducts]

@cappin he wasn't loaded on coke in this vid :S he was just recovering from his addiction at this point.

[mrtofupeanut]

@cappin Maybe you're the one loaded on coke. That's just David Bowie's beautiful face. So maybe you should shut the FFF up because David Bowie is hot and you're just jealous.

[somercet1]

@cappin "Be My Wife" was recorded in Berlin, when he was detoxing himself. He's not on coke. Also, since he's never had a unibrow in his life except for this video, I would say his entire look here is a conscious, even sober, aesthetic choice.

[cosmogoniad]

@somercet1 That is partly true.. it was recorded in Berlin while he was detoxing.. but I don't think he had already recovered from the state that coke put him into. I'm not sure how conscious that choice was... he seems hollow, empty, almost like he's trying to be human.

[cosmogoniad]

@somercet1 That is partly true.. it was recorded in Berlin while he was detoxing.. but I don't think he had already recovered from the state that coke put him into. I'm not sure how conscious that choice was... he seems hollow, empty, almost like he's trying to be human.

[idoitbetter24]

@somercet1

Sorry...but look in his eyes and you can see he is so fucked up!!!!!

[sgtjlopez]

@cappin I didn't find this video to be funny until I read this. lol

[idoitbetter24]

@cappin

NOW I laugh about THAT!!!!but really...it isnt funny......lol

[tevax456]

@cappin or..is he just happy about what he is doing? 

[patmos789]

escuchen y aprendan

[bookhouse88]

Ah, a classic from Bowie's very brief Carl Burnett era...

[msbowiedepp]

i will be your wife anyday , hey im 14 , so what?

[chicmonkeyt]

Looking like a young Dot Cotton. It's so RCA's hands were tied and they had to release the album.

[dejahthoris]

ever been bored and sick of the world? I love bowie

[nankerism]

i love cocaine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[5uperGreen]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEES!!! ... erm... lol (",) ...

[daverolo87]

david bowie doing buster keaton !

[kirkwallboy]

He looks a bit like a train wreck here. He transcends all the comings and goings of pop culture though. Always a very interesting chap, one never knows what he will come up with next. Bless him!

[swallowedtothesea]

the hair...just how does he do it

[woahXgirl94]

He looks so goofy in some parts yet so sexual :P

[MissTopanga]

i do!

[Maksinkaone]

So yes, I will be your wife :-D

[LadyBowie1119]

David kinda creeps me out here... I wonder if that look was on purpose...? But he still looks so sexy!

[n0rt0nj4zZ]

bowie looks truly dreadful here, i don,t know wether that was the intention or not. 1977 was,nt a cool time to be a bowie fan in manchester.

[vorkutaman]

@n0rt0nj4zZ he was physically looking much healthier in the video then he had for years ( he even kind of has a double chin in one shot ). he had put on weight after living off of coke and milk in LA for a couple of years. he just wears a depressed look on his face to fit in with the meaning of the song. if you want to see bowie l.ooking shit then see his thin white duke incarnation - emaciated and off his nuts sinking fast. the fact he kicked his habit without rehab says a lot about him.

[dejahthoris]

@vorkutaman thanks for that commentary

[Barzol636]

Absolutely stunning original

Excellent

[Barzol636]

Absolutely stunning original

[basman2006]

i love this album. but why is it seen so revolutionary?

didn't brian eno did the same with another green world?

or am i wrong and is that completely different?

[evelyneverettgreen]

@basman2006another green world was truly remarkably new sounding, you are right. i guess david bowie had access to a much bigger audience. .. also, the marriage of eno's sound visions and david's ability to tell stories made this album a unique marriage.

[woahXgirl94]

1:02 :P murrrp 

[mrsmjforlife]

i'll be your wife david 

lol

[Mr500characters]

Bowie had the balls to look the way he felt and to hell with all else. THIS was honesty about being tired of being all over the world and coming up wanting. No glitz and glamour here. Just a man with just enough energy to show you where he was at that day. Bravo. The music has a quiet desperation to reconnect with someone, to remove himself from over-indulgance and self-abuse. Until the next time that THAT need becomes even greater importance.The key word is "sometimes". Sometimes you get drugs.

[CheetahLuver12]

Every time one of my friends comments, "He looks like a man-lady!"

I tell them to suck it, because they could never pull it off and be famous at the same time.

[tokimasa121]

He´s got a unibrow here.

[quillber]

i dont think its a 'please act as a wife' thing like the top commenter said, that would be too flippant in my opinion. i think its someone who has become sneering and self-deprecating because they are lonely and loveless, drugged up living out of hotels and the act of union and marriage is like a desperate bid for survival rather than the natural and lovely thing you are told growing up.

[MrKevfischer]

I've seen that video before and I really feel so much better having seen that! Thank You! X

[Pervvi]

He's not ironic, he's on yeyo :D

[jrmetmoi]

His hair in this video was so hot and this is the hair that early 80s boy bands like Duran Duran, Japan, ABC, and Spandau Ballet all copied.

[ezaube1030]

@jrmetmoi Not only the hair, the whole make up and style... this was exactly the same thought that came into my mind !

[jrmetmoi]

@ezaube1030 Yeah they all copied David and/or they copied Bryan Ferry in terms of looks on stage and in the vids.

[dejahthoris]

@jrmetmoi So true!!! Bowie invented everything that happened and is still happening in about 5 minutes in the 70's. I am so thankful that I was there and got to see him in concert so many times and have my mind blown by it

[theramajones]

CHE SFONDO RAGAZZI

[kirkwallboy]

A troubled man. Physically he looks so much older than his healthy looking later later years, worn out. Mind you a healthy glow is only skin deep, as his heart gave him a bit of a stop start a few years back. Since then he has been noticeably missed by his absence.

[mmaryyja]

frida

[JadeLovesJenson]

Yes David, of course i'll be your wife

[IllBeYourDetonator]

@charljenky29 He still could've been. But besides, no one knew before he was born obviously, and he was the world's most adorable baby in my opinion. So. >:P

[IllBeYourDetonator]

@IdiotFlagGirl WHAAAAT. IS. WRONG. WITCHOO. There hasn't ever been a single moment in history when Bowie wasn't hot. I don't believe this video was an exception. So, bottom line, still the sexiest man EVER. :3

[charljenky29]

@IllBeYourDetonator what about when he was a baby? or before he was born?

[IdiotFlagGirl]

God, he is not hot in this video. BUT, in others ,you can believe it. Damn straight.

[Annamandabella]

With the crystalline classical sound on songs such as "Aladdin Sane" to the ragtime sound on this, up to now, this guy can do anything! Fuck Elvis, forget Michael, always keeping Stevie in mind though...............This guy is truly the genius and God of all music. 2003 though? Just like the greatest band ever.........not the spiders but Steely Dan. Where have these guys been for the last 8 years? I can live with the awesome catalog of classics though newer is always a good thing.

[NoelleNabob]

Not to be a meanie-weenie, but it's kind of funny how David Bowie went from having no eyebrows to sporting one eyebrow...

[jrmetmoi]

Yassassin and Teenage Wildlife must both now be added to the greatest songs Bowie has ever done! They are still hot songs some like 35 years later!

[VennDetta2010]

Bowie is a straight up genius muthaFUCKA

[LestHeBecomeAmonster]

Wouldn't hesitate to say yes...
