according to Nicholas Peggs The Complete David Bowie, this is most likely a Diamond Dogs outtake and not an Aladdin Sane one :)

The opening here, and its reprise at 2:12, (and later throughout the demo), can be found at the end of Sweet Thing on DD as it seques into the the rhythm drone leading into Rebel Rebel. Its definitely Mike Garson on piano and very likely the Pinups lineup of Trevor B, Ronno, and A. Dunbar on drums. Songs for DD were being worked up at that time and especially during the 1980 Floor

show period.

Its like a sexier version of the trololo song

I just had to learn how to play the bass part of this rare gem, I wish Bowie stuck with this particular line up for another album !

[alphonsedot]

[matthewjamesleveille]

while listening to this song with my head down(doing Sudoku puzzles) I had to check to see if I was listening to HD or DD, the piano sounds like a lot of DD songs

This would be most likely an early outtake of Sweet Thing and/or an unreleased song. Most likely Sweet Thing. If this how Sweet Thing would end up, I'd be listening to it every day.

There's a mellotron on this. It would probably be George Martin's hired by Tony Visconti who produced Diamond Dogs. That's just a guess :)

@brendanolear You're probably correct with the time of the tune being written but it's Aynsley Dunbar on drums here. Aladdin Sane was Woody on drums. At some points on Hunky Dory & Aladdin Sane you can hear why Woody got dumped, bless him.
