From now on I will never be able to listen to "Warszawa" again without thinking, "I once went to Warsaw, on a train with Iggy Pop, what I saw from the windows of the train, it was depressing..." And I'm not complaining.
Impeccable voice acting. I thought it WAS Bowie having a laugh at himself and doing this video. To be able to impersonate both Eno and Bowie is impressive enough, but then to impersonate Eno and Bowie impersonating Derek and Clive, that's a whole 'nother fucking thing, holy shit!
+Elizabeth Kemble It's comedian and sometime BBC Radio 6Music DJ and funnyman Adam Buxton. Check RUclips for Adam & Joe podcasts and "Vinyl Justice". This also appears to be his own channel! lol tolhurst
davedave Brian said they used to continue their Dud and Pete routine for days on end , I think it went a bit like this ruclips.net/video/hvQq_tqB0jA/видео.html Brian Eno said that all the time they were working they were in fits of laughter. He once said that out of a 50 minutes session, 40 minutes of it would be spent rolling on the floor laughing. It seems Tony didn’t have much of a sense of humour about it lol
I played on Music for Films and also worked with T. Visconti. Your Eno could not have been more spot on! Excellent! I've watched this dozens of times. It really takes me back. Thanks.
@@AndyHarrisGoogle Visconti was not involved with Music for Films. And to be quite honest, he did not make a very big impression on me so much so that I can't even remember what project I was involved with him, but it wasn't anything with Bowie or Eno. Whatever it was, would have been in NYC at Mediasound and in the mid- late '70's.
I'm completely blown away with the genius of this video: cleverness, humor, tribute, simplicity... all of them in the perfect amount, none of them stepping on each other. And to see that so much effort and genius was put in the making of just a silly -but respectful- mock at the production of that epic song makes it an adorable piece of pop culture for me.
Toasters are avant garde printers with poor resolution. They print on bread, but they intentionally obscure the image to annoy everyone except the occasional religious types (who can clearly see that it's supposed to be a picture of Jesus and don't want any other guesses to the contrary).
Adam, you're work is bloody hilarious and brilliant beyond measure. But most amazing is Bowie's voice. I'm having a hard time believing that's not actually him. Same with Bob the Cobbler. His speaking voice has always been like medicine to me, and these voiceovers are on the money. Incredible
I just heard a repeat of Brian Eno being interviewed by Shaun Keaveny. I turned on in the middle of the interview so didn't know who it was but it was clear he sounded just like the Eno on this. When he said that at the time of "Heroes" they were just "playing" and having fun while recording the serious stuff, I was certain. Then Eno mentioned being Derek and Clive!
Same here. I looked at his Twitter and a few news channels were looking to interview him but he said no as he would probably just cry and that's not helpful to anyone ... This video is so great. If you search youtube he has a video of all the best bits of the Adam and joe podcast where they have referenced bowie and it's quite long :-)
I was listening to Music for Airports again this afternoon and the memory of this came back to me. I've watched it dozens of times over the years and it never ceases to make me laugh. Just recalling Eno saying "weird albums" and holding up the "music for bus stops" cover gives me a chuckle.
Freakin Brilliant in so many ways. Love the Derek and Clive reference, Oblique strategies cards that Eno used, OMG this is both hilarious and inspired. Sharing it with all my like minded friends. Kudos.
Love this! And you've perfectly captured how Bowie's accent managed to sound both seriously posh and "1950s East End" at the same time. More, please! Could we get one of Freddie and David recording in Montreux?
There isn't a single second of this that could be any better. Anytime I need to remember to smile, I only have to think of this. Thank you Adam, The Brothers McLeod and anyone else involved. Now, if you can just find time to make the movie, that would be splendid, thanks.
This little cartoon is an unexpected pleasure to see on RUclips and aside from being very funny is probably very close to the actual truth of how it was recorded. Lol
As a teenage Bowie super fan growing up in late 90’s Michigan, it was hard to find much of anything Bowie-related. I had to really dig. This would have blown my mind. The lore surrounding Low was my favorite slice of it all. I read and re-read those parts of his various biographies a million times. So, it’s such a treat to hear those morsels in this hilarious short.
Can't stop laughing....Oblique Strategies Cards and a train ride through Warsaw with Iggy Pop.Best Bowie impersonation ever. ROFL....Eno was my first love too.
This NEEDS to be on TV. Basically a cartoon series with Count Buckules voicing various characters. Including Bowie (obviously), Boggins, Ken Korda, and of course, The Queen.
I particularly love the understated, self-effacing, matey, British irony in this. It often passes unnoticed in British comedy. Subtle and very enjoyable. Thanks.
How about David meeting with shocked RCA execs who offer to buy him a house in Philadelphia if he'll record another "Young Americans"? We haven't heard that story enough!!
So good! Could you please do more David Bowie scenes? Maybe the time he kicked Jimmy Page out of his house? Or the when he played Young Americans to John Lennon and Paul McCartney?

The voice of David Bowie is spot on
Yes, I almost thought it was actually him. Do you know who it might be?
Extremely! I thought the same
Hermanubis it’s Adam Buxton
@@Lylodile Thank you! :)
As was the voice of David Bowie doing the voice of Dudley Moore 🤯
Can these animators please just make an entire series of "Bowie in the studio" cartoons? I would never ever need to leave the house again.
Yes!
I would watch them all 😭
Could really use those right now.
Oliver Franklin
PLEASE!!!!
Oliver Franklin and they would all have to end with the same phrase “no way, I’ve done two takes, stuff it up yer bum!” It would be brilliant
Tony Visconti sure does a lot more than I thought.
From now on I will never be able to listen to "Warszawa" again without thinking,
"I once went to Warsaw,
on a train with Iggy Pop,
what I saw from the windows of the train,
it was depressing..."
And I'm not complaining.
Mike Kiker Brilliant lyrics. Bowie is a poetic genius.
Sums up the entire album.
Lol. I love it.
Same here! Every single time. Sometimes even when I am not listening to Warszawa.
I sing this to myself daily
Impeccable voice acting. I thought it WAS Bowie having a laugh at himself and doing this video.
To be able to impersonate both Eno and Bowie is impressive enough, but then to impersonate Eno and Bowie impersonating Derek and Clive, that's a whole 'nother fucking thing, holy shit!
+JakeStarstorm Does anyone know who did the voice acting on this?
+Elizabeth Kemble It's comedian and sometime BBC Radio 6Music DJ and funnyman Adam Buxton. Check RUclips for Adam & Joe podcasts and "Vinyl Justice".
This also appears to be his own channel! lol tolhurst
For sure he nailed it and it made my day
Yeah, the Bowie VA is absurdly close to real Bowie.
I hope he got to see this
Music For Bus Stops. That's when I totally lost my shit. This is great. Totally needed the laugh. :D RIP, Mr. Jones.
Too funny,right?
Agree! This is sublime. (“
RIP, Mr. Jones,” ditto :(
"I'm in a scary caaaaave... with bats!"
That's lovely, thanks Tony. Okay, here we go.
Hmmm i wonder what tony visconi did on this record...
@@Jimmybarashkov Probably more than people think...
Every time I'm recording and there is reverb on my voice I definitely quote this :D
Adam Buxton doing an impression of David Bowie doing an impression of Dudley Moore as Derek. It's like Inception all over again.
davedave he should do an impression of David doing impressions of Marc Bolan , Lou Reed and Mick Jagger too, David was great at impressions.
davedave Brian said they used to continue their Dud and Pete routine for days on end , I think it went a bit like this ruclips.net/video/hvQq_tqB0jA/видео.html Brian Eno said that all the time they were working they were in fits of laughter.

@@andalltheangelssay212 wow, sounds like so much fun! Thanks for replying to a 6-year-old comment to put a smile on my face! 😄
Tony Visconti is co producing this comment ...I'm sure people will be surprised to know
+Duncan McKay fuck me ,you're kidding mate.aren't you, i'm very surprised, i suppose you're going tell me next heroes is about him as well
+Duncan McKay DUNCAN!!!!!
+Duncan McKay Probably more than people think.
Yes he does alot more than people think ya know
Co-producer can do Derek and Clive if you need it to...
That David Bowie impression is impeccable.
Wow that Bowie's spot on.
It's my contention that Buxton's Bowie is the best there is. It's uncanny.
I played on Music for Films and also worked with T. Visconti. Your Eno could not have been more spot on! Excellent! I've watched this dozens of times. It really takes me back. Thanks.
Did co-producer Tony Visconti do more than people think?

@@JANTURANband You must have some amazing stories/memories! Gotta say I'm at least slightly envious of your friends/dinner companions. 😂

You said it all! I concur. And we need more!
I hope to God Bowie saw this and laughed his arse off.
Me too! I think he would have liked it...
That was my first thought, he would have found it hilarious.
Yes me too
You can bet your bottom dollar he saw it!
I can guarantee that Tony Visconti because he said so in a recent online talk he did for my university. He loved it.
This really, really cheered me up
+Paperbag Animator me too, was required
is this bowie
it's comedian adam buxton doing a spot on bowie impression
What a gift to have. I would just talk like that all day long if I could.
Me too! Never fails to cheer me up. ❤️
I wanna listen to the full version of “I’m in a scary cave with bats”
This deserves way more attention than it's received.
I'd love to see this as a full series on TV or some similar device.
A toaster is a similar device, with enough superlatitive theatricality to make it an excellent vehicle for such a project. A-wuzz-wuzz.
bulletproofblouse Someone should invent toasters that can also do 3D holograms while you are waiting for your toast.
Toasters are avant garde printers with poor resolution. They print on bread, but they intentionally obscure the image to annoy everyone except the occasional religious types (who can clearly see that it's supposed to be a picture of Jesus and don't want any other guesses to the contrary).
I don't mean to brag, but my toaster is also a toast elevation device and even has a bread lowering function.
Toasters are remix devices for who think that baking is too mainstream.
that's just the shopping list, Brian
This is the greatest thing I've seen on the Internet today.
Fantastic.
My husband and I make up a good number of these views. This is brilliant and lovable.
Yeah I agree. This is third time since I discovered the video.
I'm a massive Bowie fan, and this had me rolling on the floor.
This is so perfect. The impressions are great, it’s fucking hilarious, and it’s really well researched.
Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish have been Bowie obsessives since they were schoolkids.
wow the Bowie impression is spot on!
This is awesome! Tony Visconti with his slightly angry remarks is unbeatable
Adam, you're work is bloody hilarious and brilliant beyond measure. But most amazing is Bowie's voice. I'm having a hard time believing that's not actually him. Same with Bob the Cobbler. His speaking voice has always been like medicine to me, and these voiceovers are on the money. Incredible
And not only that, he has that whole affable, congenial vibe that Bowie had down pat!
What a visionary Bowie was. Shuttup your face was recorded 5 years after Low. LMFAO
I'm so amazed by David Bowie voice, truly spectacular.
"I think I might just step inside the vocal booth and freeform some impressionistic word decorations"
i'm sure there's a million cultural references that completely flying over my head every time i watch this

THE SHOPPING LIST FOR THE WEEKEND X'DDD I'm crying.
2:26 - I love how in all his Bowie vids there's always a little "woza woza" thrown in, like that's just a natural Bowie sound.
Let alone a "lolly beef, lorra lorra" part where the Queen makes an appearance...
I've been laughing at this video for the past year or so, sharing with friends etc. Now it's like a touching tribute. It makes me feel very sad..
This is phenomenal. The voice, the hidden wordplay and animations, homage to obscure Bowie trivia... Brilliant.
Some of the nicest pastiches came from Adam Buxton. My genuine first thought when I heard David Bowie died was how Adam Buxton was feeling.
+VidSheridan Me too :(
+VidSheridan me too

+VidSheridan like the rest of us bowie fans i would imagine vid, upset ,quiet and wishing it wasn't true
I want there to be a never ending television series of this ! ! ! ! :'(
I'd love to see a series like this about bowie's adventures
I know, I love it! I've watched it over a lot! I wish there was more, it's so clever and funny.
i've watched this at least 15 times over the past 2 weeks since i first saw it on 10 Jan 2021. the voices and the singing are hilarious.
As a huge Bowie fan who just found this I am dying and crying laughing my ass off. This is amazing!!! I can't wait to see what else you have
I was listening to Music for Airports again this afternoon and the memory of this came back to me. I've watched it dozens of times over the years and it never ceases to make me laugh. Just recalling Eno saying "weird albums" and holding up the "music for bus stops" cover gives me a chuckle.
I loved your animations in the sparks brothers!
Cant believe it wasn't Bowie's voice! its just so perfect!
Freakin Brilliant in so many ways. Love the Derek and Clive reference, Oblique strategies cards that Eno used, OMG this is both hilarious and inspired. Sharing it with all my like minded friends. Kudos.

Bowies voice is uncanny - I can see him saying these lines - very funny
Amazing! Hysterical! And probably embarrassingly accurate. I love the German flag vibes coming out of Enos head.
Are you lot sure that's no Bowie voicing himself?
Obviously a proper Bowiephile. Nerdy and brilliant.
Dr.Buckle's love of the Bow Bow is making do sad smiles. Thank you.
Damn I so wish this was a series
Heartwarmingly fun take on a legendary collaboration. Didn't expect to see anything like this. Just the job!
This is incredible, I wish there was hours of it!
There isn't a single second of this that could be any better. Anytime I need to remember to smile, I only have to think of this. Thank you Adam, The Brothers McLeod and anyone else involved. Now, if you can just find time to make the movie, that would be splendid, thanks.
Love it :) Thanks for sharing Adam.
completely brilliant, and chock full of insider jokes for the Bowie/Eno/Visconti aficionados. a must-watch for real Bowie fans.
Congratulations to all the creators. This is brilliant and hilarious. A delight for Bowie fans, especially those who love "Low." Thank you!
please make a series with David. this is one of the best things on youtube
Smacks of Drunk History and the music video for Paranoid Android. Thanks a lot for this.
This little cartoon is an unexpected pleasure to see on RUclips and aside from being very funny is probably very close to the actual truth of how it was recorded. Lol
Love this so much ...such a lovely gentle parody...Miss David still so much ..

The "Watsa matta you....whya you looka so sad...shutta up yo face!!!"" always kills me.
More of these please. Your Bowie impersonation is bang on
Adam, congrats for your-David voice; the David's 'S' pronunciation it's perfect. Thanks, great Job!
This and Cobbler Bob is awesome.
Literally the best video on RUclips.
This NEEDS to be on TV. Basically a cartoon series with Count Buckules voicing various characters. Including Bowie (obviously), Boggins, Ken Korda, and of course, The Queen.
This is still one of my favorite videos

I particularly love the understated, self-effacing, matey, British irony in this. It often passes unnoticed in British comedy. Subtle and very enjoyable. Thanks.
very funny. fav line was probably
"Well it's a rivetingly depressive piece of music Brian!"
We need a couple more of these please absolutely GENIUS ❤️ x
Wow you're a proper fan, Adam. You know that Bowie and Eno liked doing Derek and Clive voices. It's in Eno's book!
This is awesome🙏🏻🙏🏻thank you very much for uploading🥰❤️
"stuff it up your bum" that made me laugh.
That might be the best music comedy vid we’ve ever seen.
Top shelf!
Giving me a big smile on this sad day. RIP David.
Think this could be my favourite ever clip. I keep coming back to it and it makes me laugh every time.
Good to hear Eno finds it funny
For the love of humanity please make a sequel.
How about David meeting with shocked RCA execs who offer to buy him a house in Philadelphia if he'll record another "Young Americans"? We haven't heard that story enough!!
No, not for our sake.
I've watched this nearly once a day for the last two weeks. It's so funny. Thank you so much for this.
3:10 hahahah that Chico Marx drop was amazing. Great video!
+smokelakes - Pretty sure it was referencing 'Joe Dolce' and his infamous single 'Shaddap You Face'... ;)
Surprisingly funny and you can feel the love in this tribute. I thought it really was Bowie for a while there, spot on impression!
Oh my word this is just perfect.
"I'M IN A SCARY CAVE WITH BATS."
I think this is my favourite thing for the moment.
Hillarious.
Bowie's voice is almost spot on, awesome job.
This made me laugh until I squirted tears of joy and appreciation out of my eyes! Pure genius. Love my starman and love your work here!
Bowie voice is unreal adam.. Well done man this is excellent🏴
i cant even tell you how many times ive watched this
Loved this video for ages, not sure how I never thought to favorite it before now.
So good! Could you please do more David Bowie scenes? Maybe the time he kicked Jimmy Page out of his house? Or the when he played Young Americans to John Lennon and Paul McCartney?
Thank You So Much Bob! This Really cheered me up - in light of the Sad news...
Brilliant Bowie voice!!
one of the best things Adam's ever done! brilliant!
0:46 he turns into an EMS Synthi AKS, pink floyd recorded on the run with one of those machines
Eno gave one to Bowie, also. It was featured in the Bowie exhibition.
Adam Please make a series of these they're amazing!
That studio must be so cold. Everybody's shivering.
@Ralof Of Riverwood I think Bowie said he didn't know what time it was and the lights were low. He also leaned back on his radio.
This is just too awesome for words!
