Duet on SNL with Klaus Nomi and David Bowie.

Some people think David Bowie stole Nomi's signature costume style for this performance, but in actuality it was Bowie's costume that inspired Klaus Nomi to design his own.

  • ATTENTION TO FANS OF THIS PERFORMANCE: STOP SENDING ME LINKS TO VIDEO UPLOADS OF THIS FOOTAGE ON YOUTUBE. I AM TIRED OF HAVING NEARLY A DOZEN MESSAGES EVERY WEEK OF PEOPLE DOING THIS. I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHY YOU PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO DO SO.

  • YouTube actually forbids me from posting a link from Vimeo. Haha How about that, folks. Bowie has always been generous with sharing his stage with people as talented as he, if not more so. The rare "More so" was Klaus Nomi. 3970155

  • @ApeDrape8 I understand what you're saying, but is it really fair to say Nomi is more talented than Bowie? Don't get me wrong, to each his own, but Bowie is a multi-instrumentalist, a great singer as well, and most of all an actual, extremely successful, songwriter, plus he's done some good work as an actor.

  • @KingOfUm Marilyn Manson is a moreso musical artist too. I think David Bowie spent of his career trying to keep up with the music industry honestly. He's done some great stuff, no doubt, but Manson has released a tighter body of work.

  • @LordKalbert I'm a big Manson fan myself, though and agree in some respects; I do also think Bowie does have a tendency to follow in other's footsteps (especially his early career), but both of them have definitely made a huge influence in the music industry respectively.
