Of course he's a wizard! It's Bowie!!

[Dustshoe]

If you imagine a Chinese Bowie singing My Burmese Girl, or My Tibetan Lady, today, with the lyrics alluding to Chinese hegemony, but ultimately, as in Bowie's 1983 song, sardonically mocking the singer protagonist himself, then you will see just how clever, artistic and bold Bowie's vid-song is: it parodies the old-style colonial attitudes of Europe which have their modern form.

Did he manage to get the yellow fever out of his system?

[grogtgs]

I had no idea until recently that this was a cover. I like Bowles version but it does kinda sound like the original.

[epicmaddie]

Can't wait to see the literal version.

[youthbus]

lul this isnt racist at all...

[Dharma Beach Bum]

Yeah, that's the great thing about real music. The people don't have to dance like their being attacked by fire ants to give the impression that they have more talent than they actually do. I know. He's certainly no Jennifer Lopez (he said, sarcastically). Go back to enjoying your William Hung poster.
