This album played like the sountrack to Bowie's movie of the same period  Man Who Fell to Earth.
Worth watching.  And a good song off a very good album

What a crazy, wonderful movie. Fun for family - except if you have little kids who might not appreciate Paul Bettany's bare-butted trudge down the road because he lost his clothes in a card game. Worth the rent - and the music is equally crazy, but it works. {#Dancingbanana_2}

 
Lest we forget... I still love this movie - where else can you go medieval to Queen's "We Will Rock You"?

One of those songs that I cannot help but sing along too, chorus and all! I love singing both the chorus and the main at the same time (out the side of my neck),{#Daisy}

I was driving a woman around back in 1992 and she was talking to me so seriously and we were listening to the radio and this song came on and she turned down the radio and I turned it back up because I love this song and I wanted to hear it and she got so mad at me she dumped me that day...  this song always reminds me of that, but I am still glad to hear it because I love this song...

Batty - The date shown is wrong. The album came out in 1976, so it is actually 35 years old. 

And now I feel really old......

Great segue from one of Stevie's best (As) to one of Bowie's most soulful (Golden Years)

From "I will love you always... Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky" to "I'll stick with you baby for a ...thousand years."

Before every new band was called "Talking Heads-esque" they where called "Bowie-esque". And this is why.

Ever see the Stephen King miniseries "Golden Years" for which this was the theme song?  Now I interpret the lyrics a bit differently as a result.

Hey did David Bowie steal the guitar riff from Stevie Wonders Superstition? {#Stupid}

 
Rumor has it that Bowie snuck into the recording studio when Stevie was alone listening to some rough demos. Bowie heard this riff along with some other material. After a short time Stevie sensed someone else was in the studio with him. He almost caught Bowie before the thin white duke was able to high tail it out of there with Stevie, cursing a blue streak, in hot pursuit. But Bowie got away and the rest is pseudo-history. {#Wink}

Hey, we flashed some tit at the Super Bowl a few years back!

Or tried to, anyway....

btw, this song didn't fade out when it was first released. It had a solid ending....
