Life On Mars? It's a god-awful small affair To the girl with the mousy hair But her mummy is yelling "No" And her daddy has told her to go But her friend is nowhere to be seen Now she walks through her sunken dream To the seat with the clearest view And she's hooked to the silver screen But the film is a saddening bore For she's lived it ten times or more She could spit in the eyes of fools As they ask her to focus on Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh man! Look at those cavemen go It's the freakiest show Take a look at the Lawman Beating up the wrong guy Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know He's in the best selling show Is there life on Mars? It's on Amerika's tortured brow That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow Now the workers have struck for fame 'Cause Lennon's on sale again See the mice in their million hordes From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads Rule Britannia is out of bounds To my mother, my dog, and clowns But the film is a saddening bore 'Cause I wrote it ten times or more It's about to be writ again As I ask you to focus on Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh man! Look at those cavemen go It's the freakiest show Take a look at the Lawman Beating up the wrong guy Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know He's in the best selling show Is there life on Mars? |
Just thinking of the lead-in to the chorus gives me goosebumps.
I could post about ten or fifteen Bowie songs, including most of "Hunky Dory", all of which would be my favorite, depending on the day.

This thread made me want to shuffle through all my Bowie songs. How am I supposed to choose? Right now I'm listening I Pray Ol�, and the last two songs were Moonage Daydream and Boys Keeps Swinging.
Three good ones, anyway.

Good to see the "Hunky Dory" album well-represented so far.

I will admit that I have heard of the name David Bowie, but couldn't name one of his songs.

"Ch-ch-ch-ch-CHAN-GES" is one you cannot have missed. It was used on a number of commercials, including (i believe) Swatch.
"Under Pressure" (with Queen) is most likely familiar.
"China Girl" has a hookline that you're sure to know.
So does "Ashes to Ashes".
(Reminds me of when I first heard an Elton John Greatest Hits compilation: I knew every. single. song. but only associated about four with the name.)

It's so hard to choose...
Scary Monsters and Super Creeps - just can't get tired of that one, and it's not over played anyhow
Think I'll cue it up in iTunes while I try to win an iPod.

Space Oddity is one of my favorite songs.
Hmmm... hard to say, but Heroes, Dead Man Walking, and Ashes to Ashes would all be up there on my list.

There's a cry that is heard in the city From Vivian at Pentecost Lane A shriekin' and dancing till 4 a.m. Another night of muscles and pain I love you despite your convictions That God never laughs at my jokes I'm a young man at odds with the Bible But I don't pretend faith never works When we're down on our knees Prayin' at the bus stop Now Jesus he came in a vision And offered you redemption from sin I'm not sayin' that I don't believe you But are you sure that it really was him I've been told that it couldn've been blue cheese Or the meal that we ate down the road I'm a young man at odds with the Bible But I don't pretend faith never works When we're down on our knees Prayin' at the bus stop |
Can't beat "The laughing gnome".

Another one not mentioned:
Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side". (Okay, written by Reed, but co-produced, co-arranged, and co-mixed by Bowie, who also did a bunch of backing vox on the rest of "Transformer")

A couple of months ago I finally completed my collection of Bowie's Rykodisc studio albums, I really have no interest in the all the new 24 bit ones, I was after all the bonus tracks.
