Fred - I'm going to steal your "acme of cool" phrase - love it. As a ridiculously devoted Bowie fan for 37 years, I can confirm that easily understood lyrics were never among DBs attributes. |

You're poppin' now, Bill! Nice mix. You went from funk to funky, baby. :P

Anyone else find the phrase after "ashes to ashes," __________ a bit, shall we say androgynous? meaning it can sound like things other than the offical "funk to funky." ??

I always think of this as the first music video I ever saw. It predates MTV. Bizarre? perhaps. Striking for back the? Absolutely. |

Ahhh the 80's. Man I love this song. Reminds me of my '73 Dart and a girl I was dating then. She turned out to be a class 'A' bitch. Still love the song though.

That's a pretty ignorant statement. The 8.1 Average is exactly where it is supposed to be. I for one think that this is one of his best songs and gave it a rating of 10. Considering it has almost 1200 ratings, more people like if than dislike it. |

Time to be flexible: normally I cannot stand Bowie. Seems all style and no content to me. And his style has not aged well, in my opinion, either. But - this is a great song.

Thanks for playing, Bill. It would be great also if some time you played Bowie's "Life on Mars" as well — that would fulfill my quota of songs that I now enjoy thanks to BBC programmes for the day. ;)

I never understood the lyrics when it was released, and still don't have the faintest idea what they're about, but wtf, Bowie was and still is the acme of cool and it's a fine song.
