"1984" is a song by David Bowie, from his 1974 album Diamond Dogs. Written in late 1973, it was inspired by George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and, like much of its parent album, originally intended for a never-produced stage musical based on the novel.

I remember The Serious Moonlight Tour. I hoped he would sing "1984". The timing was right. But I understand why he didn't. His voice would have been in shreds if he tried to project this time and again, across the continents, and make it sound right. Our disappointments meet up with reality sometimes. But Station To Station was hard enough to pull off repeatedly. And he chose wisely in order to excel at his gargantuan venue. Still, I wanted to be in the one place in 1983 when he included "1984".

Boys Keep Swinging was inspired video, Ashes To Ashes is sublime! Jean Genie was great, as in most things from the 70's, he looks divine. But The Hunger (he aged too soon), Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (best supporting actor in a John The Baptist beheading), Labyrinth (I know it has a juvenile following, but I've never allowed myself to see it), Absolute Beginners (great song, only fair movie), Cat People (great theme song) he should have starred in it. Serious Moonlight tour should've had 1984!

@LaurawrTheDinosaur Yeah, while we're at it, let's go slap him for not starring in 1984 in 1984! That would have been a better venture than making that terrible "Let's Dance" video. But it's his music from this era that we can't complain about. Apart from The Man Who Fell To Earth, his video judgement was sometimes off track. But the music, which is his main contribution, can't be faulted. I believe it's in the nature of video, stages, it must involve so many other influences. Choices were made.

@helenajesstarzak Yeah The Terminator is one of my favourites too,. Much better than any of the sequels by a long shot.
