love this, their voices together are great and the rhythm is great

but i think the lyrics are incomprehensible (maybe just me, not smart enough? nah doubt it)

Their performance was the highlight of that tribute for me, although George Michael's version of Somebody to Love was pretty decent too.

Perhaps my favorite Bowie song. Highly listenable, never gets old.

Overplayed perhaps, but utterly brilliant. Looking forward to seeing whether Bowie still has the old magic when he brings out his new album.  Difficult to better such a great back catalogue.

Symbolic. "Best of Bowie (2002)" is the Queen. :)

I've seen this song on the 'best of' for both Bowie and Queen... it's the only collaboration i can think of where neither artist takes majority credit and the other is just 'featured'.

10+, of course. Never gets old, despite Vanilla Ice's best attempt to ruin it.

I get that line, and have always loved it.  Once you realize that the world doesn't give a shit about you, it gets scary.  Even in my farm with my semi-dysfunctional family, I knew that I was loved and cared for.  Stepping out into the greater world where people would only avoid hitting you with their car because it would dent their fender was a wake up call.

We used this and Toots and the Maytals 'Pressure Drop' (not ZZ Topp 'Got Me Under Pressure') in the soundtrack for a video my college chemistry students made on their construction of a giant water barometer.  We call it the 'Amazing Water Barometer' - it is over 30 feet (10 m) tall - we use a 4 story parking garage on campus to build it - using PVC tubing, duct tape, buckets, string, and a meter stick.  Lots of fun.  17th century scientists Torricelli and von Guericke are properly credited as our science advisors.  I left it up overnight this year and campus security took it down thinking it was a prank.

Freddy Mercury was a god, I'm certain and David Bowie his bitch. {#Whipit}  Together they were brilliant!

I found your comment odd, so I did a bit of digging. Reading a couple of quotes from Brian at queenpedia.com left me with the impression that he didn't enjoy the sessions themselves much, due to a clash of what he referred to as "pig-headedness" on the part of both Bowie and members of Queen (he is quoted as saying "he's probably as pigheaded as the four of us put together").

He also says "But there is still a lot of good stuff in the song. There was a compromise; Freddie, David and Mack actually sat down and produced a mix – under a lot of strain. Roger was also along to keep the peace to some extent, because he and David are friends." Which is kind of damning with faint praise, so I would agree it doesn't sound like Brian cares much for the song. Pity, I think it's terrific, but I was always a big fan of both Bowie and Queen.
