Brave Sir Robin Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Love this one, having seen it featured in the excellent HBO Euphoria show. Starts off as a fairly straight cover then goes off into its own world: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Banging version of a banging original that's potentially tainted now given the original sunger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the single when it came out and I still like it, especially when Bowie yells "YooooKayyyy". The video may be the most 80s thing ever. The portion of the budget saved for scenery was obviously spent on cocaine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maelzoid Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Yeah, but Bowie's high-kicks are wicked. However, the best is the synchronised bum wiggle in the last shot. The totality is greater than the sum of the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyhack Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Great call. I saw Rodrigo y Gabriela at Glastonbury a few years ago, having not heard of them before and was an instant convert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front row with other fans. Great memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
