@TheRandomn0ise but bowie wrote china girl, idiot

[santanaincubus]

@TheRandomn0ise I know, but I rather prefer Bowie play rock n roll rather than some corny 80s pop bullshit.

@santanaincubus China girl is an Iggoy pop cover, idiot.

@santanaincubus

Let's Dance is a mostly meaningless, but fun album with a few classics, his new version of China Girl not among them and then Tonight and Never Let Me Down are absolute shit. Originally, he did China Girl with Iggy on the Idiot, you should check that version out, gave me a whole new perspective, much better rendition. Also, it helps to know that Bowie only made China Girl so his pal Iggy wouldn't go bankrupt.

I prattle on a bit, I know.

If I'm correct, this isn't the only time he performs this on the Beeb. He does a version that ends up on the "Bowie on the Beeb" album.

@xxpiggystardustxx I dont know, but I just seem to like Bowie's music in 60s and 70s compared to his 80s stuff.
