  • Comment removed

  • The day a teenager steps on to the x-factor & sings a david bowie cover, that'll probably be the day people realise that trashy hip-hop & over auto-tuned isn't the only music in the world..

    david bowie is a legend! this music will never die <3

  • Comment removed

  • @MonstersNeedHugsToo I want to do that!

  • @MonstersNeedHugsToo Sod it lets do it together!

  • And this is the song which make me love english, uk, london and doctor who ^^ (a long long long story!) anyway thank you Bowie!

  • Y do I c Milla Jovovich here?? lol anway fuckin Legend Bowie

  • ahh i love this song ....lyrical genius

  • eyes<3

  • Most musicians nowadays are just products off of an assembly line, obviously there is still some talent but it is usually the music that is never played on the radio and most people will never have the joy of listening to. David Bowie is a true musical legend and sadly we don't get this anymore...

  • ok ok some of it then, just reminds me of good times and friends.

    i hope you can relate to that.. if not ..

  • ALL THE MUSIC AROUND THEN WAS BRIL... WHAT AN ERA

  • @bodge171

    No, it wasn't.

    Just like today, it was mostly utter vacant tat. We just have the fortune to be able to look at it 30, 40 years later, and filter out all the crap which has been forgotten because unlike this song, it was rubbish.

    40 years from now, someone will be listening to the best songs released in 2010-2020, saying "all the music then was brilliant", forgetting all the rubbish that was produced too...

  • @suzerain01

    Think youre wrong really.... There isn't room noawadays för something as different as Bowie. And if you are just a bit beside mainstream your dead!

  • What I love about Bowie is the way he's worked so much about the image, changed so many times his clothing and hairstyle, and yet can be definitively be respected as a talented and unique musician. That's rare.

  • Bowie is a songwriting genius

  • That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow ... Wait What?? ... Did I miss something ... O.o ... Great song :)

  • I love this song so much. I can't even.

  • We went from David Bowie to Justin Bieber

  • 516 people who buy Simon Cowell products have visited.

  • White Duke....

  • hmm, I think the G-man might have been a bit inspired by this video of Bowie

  • I reckon if u put Milla Jovovich up this same Bowie get up, u'd hav a spit of David Bowie. Dont think she'd sound much like him tho lol.

  • only david bowie could make money yell...

  • i would have fucked david bowie if i was his age ahah

  • <3

  • I would not want to see a cover of this song. The original is perfect as it is! someone else would just ruin it.

  • @meucury8eye Sum1 will do it one day, probably on X Factor I imagine.

  • i'd like to see a cover for this song

  • I remember my uncle telling me the first time he got to see Bowie live, the bouncers grabbed him from the front row (singled out because he was a punk at the time) marched him to the elevator and beat the shit out of him in these, and ended up missing half the show. But he still says seeing Bowie was worth it all. Fucking hell.

  • Just timeless i idolised him in his ziggy days and went as to find out the street of which he was standing in on the front cover of ziggy stardust,just awsome

  • <3

  • im a 900 year old time lord and i love this song

  • i think this song must have inspired freddie mercury to do bohemian rhapsody.

  • Love the song, love the video. Good times!

  • The Genius of David Bowie-what a legend-you won't be forgot short for what you attributed Bowie...

  • When I was little I thought he sang "chipmunks fighting in the dance hall"

  • My god! his left dilated eye... o__O doesn't matter i LOVE BOWIE

  • @Victrixiux It's a contact lens

  • unique

    aware

    dramatic

    clever

    

  • I want to leave this insane planet. Is there life on Mars?

  • @gareth19771 : moi aussi je voudrais partir sur Mars ! J'en ai assez des Terriens fous !

  • @gareth19771 ask dr Manhattan

  • Pure Genius............... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • Bowie-youra genius-your the one that started all this newave thing off.....

  • It's a shame... you know. I'm 16 and growing up watching all these other singers become famous. If anyone was to sign a David Bowie song, They would be classed as a nut job or something.. We need more singers like Bowie to bring back Good Music!. Not this stupid heavy beat, shut music... David Bowie FTW!!!!

  • @RandomeVideoTube Another 16 year old here, I know what you mean. The other day I was listening to Kiss and the Scorpians and someone said that only retards listen to old music. It's a sad reality, just remember that 30 years from now, no one will know who Justin Bieber is.

  • @13Mudkipz13 Indeed. I love all the old music. 90's were the best. Some of the old songs are coming back but we're still getting all these stupid fast beat shity music... even got a few of my mates Xbox into David Bowie.. lol

  • @RandomeVideoTube Ummm, Bowie made a lot of Beat music in the 90s?

  • @TimeForBold Little Wonder? Thought it was brilliant but not a patch on his earlier quality.

  • @13Mudkipz13 30 years ! In 7 years people won't know who justin bieber is !

  • @RandomeVideoTube its even sadder that u made tht statement as if it makes u better than everyone else. thumbs up panderer.

  • @JiMMyJaM08061991 I Am. Now rub me with butter and jam!

  • @RandomeVideoTube You fucking suck.

  • @TheDhezballah I aint sucking nowt till you rub me with BUTTER AND JAM!!!

  • @TheDhezballah Although I Must say how wonderful it is that you take an interest in my comments, and how you have managed to turn it into one of those comment wars... It's sad really..

  • @RandomeVideoTube So fucking sick of these comments from people who think that they are better then everyone else just because they listen to good music at a young age... The first CD I bought myself was The Planets by Holst, but you don't see me bragging about it on a video of "Jupiter" do you? Shut up and listen to the music and stop being an approval-whore.

  • @RandomeVideoTube Just be grateful that you're one of the privileged few who know about music other than the crap that is spoon fed to most people from our generation haha!

  • @RandomeVideoTube I died 5 years ago but i rise from the grave once a year simply to listen to this song.

  • @lewisner Then I give my Respect to you. Welcome to the living every once a year. You chose a good song to rise to.

  • @RandomeVideoTube the only way that will happen is if people start buying music again, and it's down to young people to do it. Record companies are afraid to sign something if it won't appeal to a mass audience because simply put, the people who like alternative music also seem to like downloading it for free.

  • @RandomeVideoTube I am also 16 and loving Bowie. I have been for 11 years, and more people should listen to his music rather than the autotuned shit that gets spewed from the sewers that is today's music industry...

  • @RandomeVideoTube im 15 and i love bowie. but quite frankly no one gives a shit. yes the industry is in turmoil. but i still have my music and its not gonna change so deal with it

  • Beautiful

  • @Queues1 He still sucks!!!! [Late with 2 years] :I x3

  • I'm back after 2 years... He still sucks!!!!!

  • the bowie mullet!!! i had one in 1973:s

  • I am over 600 years old and came back here from the future to tell everyone that I loved this when I first heard it back in the late 1900's and its still considered an all time classic centuries later.

  • @DickonSpringate Hello, Doctor. We meet again.

    Love, Dalek Caan.

  • @DickonSpringate you need to confirm to everyone here in 2011 that lady gaga was considered the greatest artist of all time, and people and aliens from all worlds are loving her art and music 500 years from now.

  • @n0rt0nj4zZ - um, I hate to burst your bubble but she got done for a lot of naughty things including copyright infringement in her mid thirty's and disappeared completely from the public life. In fact, I had to go to my local library just to find out that bit of information, so little is known about her in the future!

  • Fully painted and he stills looks manlier than Justin Bieber.

  • Bowie presents an interesting question, but a more pertinent one is posed by one Alexei Sayle;

    Is there life in Peckham?

  • One the best ballads in pop history, incredible singer for an awesome song.

  • who plays this song`s piano .somebody please tell me .

  • @iverson19961 it's Rick Wakeman who also played for Yes a terrible progresive rock group in the 1970's Rick is a wonderful person very down to earth.

  • @leonoel42  thanks .

  • Pause at 0:27 his right pupil is really small and his left is really big!

  • @Emmalouisie You're really slow.

  • @Pezreh well I noticed it earlier, but I liked the shot at :27

  • only 7 million views... am i the only one watching this over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over................

  • bowie is a british landmark in the creation of our music guru,s and he is one our little diamonds it made you !!

  • BTW the people who say he had a "Mullet" - there was no such word then. Mullets didn't happen till the 80's

  • 515 people have grown up a cow.

  • hunky dory........ one of the best firsta albums of david with space oddity

  • 515 people think there's no life on Mars....

  • Sheer Genius! And so sexy!

  • One word: Legend.

    I just can´t stop listen to his music today..

    (as a side note; oh my, his eyes are amazing!)

  • I LOVE IT WHEN BRUNO THIEVET SINGS !

  • Looks like a Marilyn Manson that sings POP music :D

  • @TheLucifer92 Marilyn Manson looks like a David Bowie that sings ... Ehm... Yeahh... Sings.

  • @dontaskmetwice Don't be ignorant...

  • @TheLucifer92 I have no idea what his genre is. Enlighten me.

    Anyway, you do know David Bowie was an icon before MM was... Right?

  • @dontaskmetwice OMG! Never said Marilyn Manson did something first or whatever! It's obvious that Marilyn Manson is inspired with so many great artists and one of them is Bowie! He combined David Bowie and Alice Cooper for example and now we have Marilyn Manson... And he admits that... Marilyn Manson CAN sing! Do the research! And yes Bowie is a legend! I don't know what's your problem...

  • @TheLucifer92 Dude, you totally implied it xD You said David Bowie was a MM but a poppy 80's one.

    While DB was clearly first lol

    I wasn't pointing out MM's strange singing just the fact I don't know his genre and DB's anciennity.

    Ok nvm.

  • @dontaskmetwice Love both MM and DB and I am just saying they have similar style... But of course DB was out there before MM and Bowie IS MM's inspiration... OBVIOUSLY (even though they are singing totally different genres...)

  • ó a ligação, ó.

  • It is interesting that there are two uploads of this video with very many views (the other one has over 3 millions of views)

  • Comment removed

  • @Imaginix1 ......David Bowie  ;-)

  • @Imaginix1 A man that's not insecure about his sexuality. Unlike someone else here...

  • @Imaginix1 A sexy man that doesn't give a fuck <3

  • @xxleannebabyxx Same here!!! Labyrinth made me a huge fan of him

  • @CressidaTussaud =-D xxx

  • PaUuZzA - you can be thankful that you have a cool dad

  • I really love his eyes!! ♥__♥

  • My dad is a true Bowie fan, He has been to every single tour David Bowie has done except one, unfortunately missing the show where he killed off Ziggy Stardust, He owns every album Bowie has ever released including "Toy", and when he was young he drew the Ziggy Stardust album cover on to his wall,that is what i call a true fan and I would like to thank my farther for getting me in to David Bowie and Many other Brilliant bands and others

  • Sorry for being quite random here but what happened to his eye??

  • @TanyaRayne It's called anisocoria. He hurt his eye as a kid.

  • Can i just say homophobia is gay and i love Bowie!!!

  • IM THE GLINT IN THE MILKMANS EYE AND I DONT GIVE A FUCK!

  • RIP david bowie

  • Qué canción más hermosa...

  • love on ya bedroom bowie. forever x

  • 513people are not alive on mars

  • BOWIE !!!! great great song, beautiful voice and performance, thank you David for this timeless lyrics !!! we love you so much !!!

  • this makes Beiber and gaga look like cretons!

    or are they cretons alredy!

  • @TheSsalty Don't you mean cretins?

  • @torquesport Perhaps he meant croutons..lol..mmmmm jk

  • what style of hair is that called, i want to get it?

  • @mrETOO22 mullett

  • @Darknessanddisgrace thank you.

  • @Darknessanddisgrace ..mickey mouse grew up a cow lol

    

  • 513 people are not gay??????????

  • @mrETOO22 mousey hair..ffs listen..

  • @mrETOO22 a mullet

    

  • @mrETOO22 I heard its called Fox Hair :S

  • @mrETOO22 you will never get laid, but that there is up to you

  • @mrETOO22 Its called a mullet, and unless you live in either the VERY deep south of America or the 1970/80s then no, you do not ever want to get this hairstyle. Even Bowie used to get beaten up by giant sets of curling tongues and angry bottles of hairspray when walking down the street whilst having this hair style (or so I am lead to believe. [citation needed])

  • @chimaeraproductions how could you not like his hair! i was joking im not getting it! geez!

  • @mrETOO22 Phew! You had me worried.

  • @mrETOO22 no you don't.

  • @mrETOO22 It was just called a Bowie cut, no one else back then had hair like that.

    Innovation as ever from Mr Jones

  • @mrETOO22 its caled a mullet

  • @mrETOO22 in the 70's we called it the bowie cut

  • great music but not to sure about the makeup

  • "Is there life on Mars?": The sensitive young girl sung about must be singing this line louder these days. The mostly wretched commentary there is online means this video-song, forty years ahead of its time, parodies perfectly the self-obsessed youth of today, except "the girl with the mousy hair", of course. It is ironic that young people who latch onto this song as a springboard for their ugly comments, are becoming more like the "sailors, cavemen, the lawman", the girl's "mummy and daddy".

  • I listent this song ... now i whis there were life on mars

  • Best. Video. Ever.

  • i'm only 7 months old and i love Bowie! all my kindergarten friends are into songs like 'the wheels on the bus' and 'humpty dumpty' but i like bowie's music especially his work from the Berlin period.

  • @vorkutaman best comment ever

  • @Darknessanddisgrace

    but the most amazing thing is that sha CAN write at 3 months old!!!LOL

  • @Darknessanddisgrace WELL I AM 8 MONTHS OLD AND I THINK YOU ARE A , HOW DO THEY SAY IN ENGLISH " A BORING CUNT" I THINK THAT IS HOW THEYSAY IT

  • @Darknessanddisgrace really this is the best comment ever!!!

  • @vorkutaman If I owned a kindergarten,I would play this song in the background during nap time..hehe.

  • @vorkutaman hahahaha this has made my morning

  • @vorkutaman

    this made my day haha ... nice 1

  • @vorkutaman This is the smartest kid in the world and it shows as he is the youngest person to ever attend kindergarten.

  • @vorkutaman You my dear sir, is a fucking genious!!!
