0:13 This was THE VIDEO to stay up all night to watch in '84 (I was doing Stage Management at GSA, Guildford...having grown in in Salford! Only got there thanks to my Brave Mum!..standing up to that bastard so called dad creep)😒 Stunning Vocal performance, new look, catchy song.
David Bowie was always light years ahead of everyone else. And, by the time everyone else caught up with him, David had moved on to something completely different. A genius.
Yes, an artistic genius... However, he often got lost about what is truly important: eternal life in Heaven with the King of Kings who is also the only beautiful Savior.
When Bowie played the Paramount Theater in Seattle in 1997, he picked up a light and shined it on the crowd, just like in this video. We waived and hollered when he aimed it at us, up in the balcony. David Bowie shined a spotlight on me.
yeah David sure has or had a sense of humour nice person as well natural an down to earth I met David as a young pp erson at a concert of his in Melbourne my big brither worked fir Paul Dainty the promoter so i got free ticket and backstage pass what a buzz 13 years old smashed on opiated hash and buds in a big 3 paper at the parry after the fkn conceet one of the biggest events in my young life David was surprised by a 13 year old handing out joints at his party I was a huge fan from age 8 make up hair style clothes yeah the 70s was a wild child had fun
@ Samantha lewin there is a whole extended version of this video that is around 18 mins long and you can see the full back story behind this and it's hilarious !😆 BOWIE playing a hapless chap plus SCREAMING lord Byron , this version has these damn pop -ups that block one last funny scene bloody hell ... anyways LUV i hope you enjoyed it!
we saw the sound and vision tour - they had "stage gause" which you can see thru but also project images on . so they had a lot of close ups on him thru the show - it was super cool effect . i bought the tickets to see adrian belew as he played guitar / was musical director for that tour and belew was astonishingly great , even better than usual , but bowie was like truly something special- magical , like an allien or super human ?? that guy had some undefinable magical star quality , he really was one in a trillion . i never saw anyone like that in my life and i cant put my finger on it ( i am straight/ dig women) , but yeah bowie was the real deal rock star - the only real one i ever saw and i have seen a LOT of shows . it kind of translates on camera but you have to be there really . that guy had everyone under a spell ... really sad he went when he did in 2016 . i wish i could have met him. RIP DB- a true rock star .
I was singing this in CVS pharmacy waiting for my son's asthma meds. People was looking at me like how did I know this song or who it was. Sorry y'all I was born in 69 and graduated from high school in 87. I'm a old school chick! RIP Mr. Bowie
And probably too because you, like myself are Black women. Most people of a variety of ethnic groups don't expect to see us jamming in the isles to music other than that of our own people, but if the groove is good, it just transcends a myriad of thresholds.
Speaking as someone who works at CVS, I can tell you that every time it comes on I can’t help but sing and dance. My coworkers laugh at me because I get excited. It never gets old!
Did YOU drink cough medicine at CVS? Did YOU sniff some glue? Often in CVS, they respond quicker if you sing "Dancing In the Street" or if you show the counter person you're carrying a switchblade. CVS is the new Vegas!
Yes. Bowie should get the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Award for being the most fashion forward. Quite a claim to be made when you consider the industry he so excelled in...
Yeah? Bowie is impersonating Marc Bolan who also used a sort of sumo squat style of dance. ruclips.net/video/ww6252Db47I/видео.html Bowie gained fame as a closet Bolan tribute act. That does not mean that Bowie was not a genius. Geniuses stand on the shoulders of giants.
When I was in the ambulance I could hear the song "Heroes" playing in my head. I kept flashing in and out of consciousness, everything was really bright and I remember thinking, "Wait, is David Bowie really God?" Garcia: Criminal Minds
By 1985, Bowie could have been a legacy rocker, playing his greatest hits and touring to pile up the cash (like the Rolling Stones et al), but instead, he constantly reinvented himself and his sound, changing his look, so that we never knew what we were going to get next. Bowie's music was ALIVE, a growing, living thing that continued changing until his death. Bowie's one of the greats and belongs in whatever pantheon exists in popular music. Bowie didn't follow trends; he made them.
This is seriously one of the best music videos ever. The man was a god. Still is. The punchy lyrics "SOMEBODY SEND ME!" The horns. The costumes. The tight editing. The choreo. The makeup. The man's epic bone structure. It's all just too much. Too much!
@@barbfraser7194 Hey, thanks for the great reply. I'm a huge Peter Gabriel fan, and had been wondering if PG and DB ever collaborated on anything considering all their similarities, so it's awesome to hear they toured together! And yes, one of the most endearing things about David Bowie is his humility. He was so truly down to earth (considering he was Major Tom and a space alien and all) and had a great sense of humor. His interviews with Conan O'Brien perfectly exemplify his humor about himself and life in general. ruclips.net/video/P4d8QrRJvsE/видео.html Cheers!
All in one location. No telling how takes it took with him playing two characters but to do it at one place cut down on time and cost. My favorite shot is him with the band going in a circle.
Really an epitome of elegance, cool and natural heauty. There are tons of amazingly great photos and video clips of him, in all kinds of costumes and postures. Just watched "Moonage Daydream" in the theatre last night - Brett Morgen's film is going to be a classic - and it is absolutely flooded with stunning shots of this superb man.
@@diamonddog4708 D A Pennebaker once said about the Ziggy concert film that >this movie has shown a powerful erotic impact on men and women alike, even on dogs > , and its easy to see why. The take of Width of a Circle from that film is one of the greatest pieces of live footage he ever came up with, astonishing, brave and vulnerable.
@@louise_rose if it's the concert footage of that song where he wore the striped knitted body suit and the thick bangles, I had that poster on my wall at 10 years old 🥰 I'm a female but Bowie appealed on several 'levels'
@@diamonddog4708 Yes, that's the one! Such a truly divine look - and it's like it was made for him (well, maybe it actually was!). :) I also love the way he used his mime acting skills in that one, the moment where he is pulling at the bars to try to break out of a jail cell, and then flying away....! By the way, the brunette girl watching Bowie in the video here has the same first name as me: the actress is called Louise Scott. Nice detail... :)
The fact he's constantly taking the piss out of himself in this short film is amazing. A man at the top of his game - dominant, seminal, era-defining - and totally aware of how ridiculous he is. You don't find that anymore.

The makeup is gorgeous in this video! The detail and contour lines on Bowie's face~~what's not to luv?! Over thirty years later...still jealous. LOL RIP
Due to being born in 1972 80s Bowie was my Bowie. So he was uber cool to me even though the 70s Bowie fans felt that this era was mostly forgettable. When he shakes hips to that beat in this video... Unforgettable. Man crush no.1.
I probably hadn't seen this since around the time it came out. Bowie's mastery of adding visual arts to his music transferred over the MTV perfectly. He did it with Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane, way before videos
No human being on this planet has ever been, will ever be, could ever be.........as cool as this man. David Bowie was ice wrapped in flesh, coolest mother-f*cker in the universe, and he left us waaaaaaaaaay too soon.
I absolutely love Bowie's look in this video, the make up is superb & hair style/colour is great. Tried copying it years ago at the barbers & it looked pants compared to Bowie's! lol
BengeJ Uknowit I love his lookon this video. If I went out looking like that, I would look outrageous, but Bowie is so cool, he could pull anything off.
I tried the same thing when I was a kid back in 1985 but with the make up and just like you said, ...pants! 😆 I looked bizarre, like some poor reject in shitty Halloween make up. Lol
I like how he parodies himself here playing an obnoxious fan with a girlfriend. And he actually stood up for the right causes. When he asked why there were no black performers on MTV the answer made him roll his eyes. He knew it was racism and that was unacceptable. MTV finally had to give in.
Fun fact: At 0:57, you can see Richard Fairbrass on bass guitar. He would later go on to sing lead vocals on the song "I'm Too Sexy" in his band, Right Said Fred, which he formed with his brother Fred in 1989.
Здравствуйте, доброе утро. Огромное спасибо за то, что выложили этот клип. Я с мамой смотрела его ещё в детстве на старом канале MTV,а потом очень много лет не смотрела,искала в интернете,тоже не могла найти. Дай бог вам здоровья,кто выложили этот клип. До свидания. Удачных вам выходных.
Если вы украинец, извините. Это сообщение не для вас. Если ты русский, то это для тебя. Мы, из Италии, со всего Запада каждый день слышим ужасные новости, о которых русские ничего не знают, потому что их диктатура, во главе которой стоит кровожадный и свирепый преступник Путин, не в состоянии объявить Правду. Теперь банды мародеров, воров, убийц и насильников бродят по Свободной стране, Украине, подвергшейся жестокому нападению страны, временами голодающей России. Дорогой Руссо, пусть знает об этом кто угодно. Вы вернетесь, чтобы оценить эту великолепную музыку
4 years without you... I miss you so much. I have to say I’ve never felt a bond towards someone as I do to Bowie. Your music has helped me through some dark times, hope you’re happy in heaven, the most talented being to exist....
the first David Bowie video I ever saw.... I was a teenage girl who was feeling very left out at the social scene at Highschool... I fell in love with evvvverything. And so my journey continued with the otherworldly and accepting who I am... Thank you, David Bowie.
I remember this when it was first shown on MTV in the 80's.The video i believe was 17 minutes long.A first and only effort.Only Bowie was allowed this gift and he accomplished his groundbreaking goal.
The greatest artistic chameleon of all time!!! How he managed to stay on top of the game generation after generation... something that only comes along once in a lifetime if that often. So glad I got to see this guy's entire career unfold for the ages. You earned your rest David. Go in peace you beautiful soul you.

I never noticed Bowie was the nerd with the girl. I've seen this video tons of times. I just got bowied.
He was a chameleon 😅❤
I understand. I think spotting the blatantly obvious is a super power too. It's the sort of thing I miss too.
I really appreciate you admitting that.
Never play for the audience but play for yourself ! That's David Bowie.
Bowie was years ahead of his time RIP sir
he isn't dead he i s getting a better life

Now I remember why like this song it came out around my birthday. Damn I'm old.
Good Grief
The instrumentals are...just...amazing.
1000 years from now David Bowie will still be 1000 years ahead of people

Sadly everything and everyone has haters.
sad but true. one of those haters is kanye.
I know people who don't. I find it...odd...criminal, really...

Disliking David Bowie is about to be classed as a mental illness....

Tedisntakidanymore you are so right in saying so! 👍👍👍
yes that is also why i liked him. i grew up with him. this was my favorite video . he is so beautiful in it.
And some of his earliest records, like Low, are still so very up to date. Absolute genius.
So few are worthy of the title ‘genius,’ but he’s one of them. As you say, always ahead of the curve.
Yes, an artistic genius... However, he often got lost about what is truly important: eternal life in Heaven with the King of Kings who is also the only beautiful Savior.

That was Bowie's genius! In a way, he shined a spotlight on all of us.
Thanks for sharing this!

I think David Bowie shined a light on ALL of us, really...
Twenty years earlier he said he'd wouldn't play in Seattle again
I miss David Bowie.
Me too.
There will never be another "BOWIE"!
Bowie's sense of humor is on full display here, and it's great.

That is a heavy thought . Dave would have loved it !
Don't forget about Michael Jordan, How Lucky we got to see MJ in the late 80's and into the 90's.
this is got to be one of bowie's most underrated songs
I agree, it's as hot and catchy as Modern Love or Suffragette City!
I sing it in my head whenever I’m about to get off work for some reason
Inventing his own moves, gestures, make-up melody, story PURE GENIUS
That was mainly the Style Back then.
Yes,what a beautiful mind
Yes. Bowie should get the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Award for being the most fashion forward. Quite a claim to be made when you consider the industry he so excelled in...
Yeah? Bowie is impersonating Marc Bolan who also used a sort of sumo squat style of dance.
ruclips.net/video/ww6252Db47I/видео.html
Bowie gained fame as a closet Bolan tribute act.
That does not mean that Bowie was not a genius. Geniuses stand on the shoulders of giants.
I freaking love the make-up, It's so iconic
Me too :D
Yeah
Makeup!!! Is that all you can say about this freaking GEM🤣🤣🤣 I'm kidding the make up ROCKS!!!
Yes he's my Favorite singer R.I.P.
How about the bass players' poofy short pants & chest harness?? 😂
There is no comparison to the music made today. This is a timeless classic still being listened to 40+ years after it was recorded. What talent!
Criminally underrated song and performer. He was one of a kind and missed badly...
He was never in my top 10 but to be completely honest, I never turned him off while on the radio
…. Is the correct response to this. 10/10
Underrated performer? He's pretty popular, dude. In fact, he was a superstar.
David got a lot of praise and recognition. Don't feel bad for them.
"underrated" how? One of the biggest rock stars of the 20th-21th century.
When I was in the ambulance I could hear the song "Heroes" playing in my head. I kept flashing in and out of consciousness, everything was really bright and I remember thinking, "Wait, is David Bowie really God?"

Ahhh Bowie’s stage presence and showmanship is just flawless. A true artist, this kind of artistry is lost now a days. Rest in greatness Blackstar 🙏🏽
He checks all the boxes. The very best of the very best.
The makeup is gorgeous in this video! The detail and contour lines on Bowie's face~~what's not to luv?! Over thirty years later...still jealous. LOL
RIP
His perfect, imperfect teeth
Davie Bowie was truly a pioneer. The man was ahead of his time.
Fun fact: When Bowie was asked what favorite character of his he played, he said it was the dork in the suit he plays in this video 🤣❤
He can play what he wants...
Because that's his real character.
that character is like Dony from the Big Lebowski or also Steve Buscemi's one from the Mystery Train
He does a lot with both characters in the _Jazzin' for Blue Jean_ 20 minute expanded version of this video.
Love " Vic the nerd " which was Bowie's loser/ nerd character here.
Fun Fact : Filmed in The Wag Club on 33-37 Wardour Street, Soho. Now an O'Neill's Irish Pub
Due to being born in 1972 80s Bowie was my Bowie. So he was uber cool to me even though the 70s Bowie fans felt that this era was mostly forgettable.

Is it just me, or was he the most beautiful creature that ever lived?
nope not just you, he is & was
No it's not just you but you're brilliant
I dunno, I think she was in close contention.
He will forever be beauty personified.
Ofc he was
Only a genuinely cool person like Bowie can present himself as a twit and get away with it.
I was born in 2005 and never got the chance to see him live... No words can describe how much I miss him
I was born in the same year too. I was too young when he was alive 🥲
same
Was lucky enough to see him live twice. Wembley stadium and Wembley Arena. His voice was phenomenal
Bowie lived well ahead of the times, he's was futuristic in nature and innovative with his music. RIP David, miss your music.

I love Bowie's dancing in this video, so confident. He said this song was about picking up birds, not too cerebral lol. I love it
Even when Bowie went fully pop, it was still classy and arty as hell.
A magician, an actor, incredible singer!
Hi I recommend a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
After all!
Incredible songwriter also.
David Bowie is the very very best of the music. Is my favourite singer ! Thank you David !
i love this song and the short film to promote it is classic as it has bowie being the rock star and a dork. i miss him....
To a girl, this was her favorite Bowie song, I sing the chorus when I'm in a good mood.
God almighty he was a genius. We were so lucky he fell to earth.
During drinks with a group of musician friends, we challenged ourselves to come up with an equal to David Bowie.
We failed.
I can think of artists that can beat him in one way or another but nobody comes close overall.
only one
🙏🙏🙏👍✊

I love when he do his Dance moves !😭😭I love every little thing about him
He's so pretty.
5 years without you, David .. but you are always on our minds !!
We miss you ............................... !
I probably hadn't seen this since around the time it came out. Bowie's mastery of adding visual arts to his music transferred over the MTV perfectly. He did it with Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane, way before videos
No human being on this planet has ever been, will ever be, could ever be.........as cool as this man. David Bowie was ice wrapped in flesh, coolest mother-f*cker in the universe, and he left us waaaaaaaaaay too soon.
This is the greatest artist to ever live pure genius on another level
I absolutely love Bowie's look in this video, the make up is superb & hair style/colour is great. Tried copying it years ago at the barbers & it looked pants compared to Bowie's! lol
BengeJ Uknowit
I love his lookon this video. If I went out looking like that, I would look outrageous, but Bowie is so cool, he could pull anything off.
And The costume of the band
I tried the same thing when I was a kid back in 1985 but with the make up and just like you said, ...pants! 😆 I looked bizarre, like some poor reject in shitty Halloween make up. Lol
I actually saw him live in concert in Pennsylvania in the 90's , what a performance, so memorable.
I still remember seeing this as child and just wondering Who he was!
Who was he?
One of the Greats!
David Bowie was a gorgeous man hands down he was Hot !!! Rest In Peace Beautiful man with a killer voice.
I like how he parodies himself here playing an obnoxious fan with a girlfriend.
And he actually stood up for the right causes. When he asked why there were no black performers on MTV the answer made him roll his eyes. He knew it was racism and that was unacceptable. MTV finally had to give in.
Fun fact: At 0:57, you can see Richard Fairbrass on bass guitar. He would later go on to sing lead vocals on the song "I'm Too Sexy" in his band, Right Said Fred, which he formed with his brother Fred in 1989.
MattCraftDotDerp I was going to mention that as a jokey look a like, didn't realise it was actually him lol
My girlfriend at the time was in Right said Freds video Deeply Dippy :-) But i really came here for Bowie
Haha that's awesome!!
Wow!!is he a real bassist?
@@williammclauchlan2610 he is! he was in Bowie's band at the time, hence his presence in this video
Man, I miss the 80's! 🎉
This song is really underrated. It deserves way more views
@0:57. Richard Fairbrass from Right Said Fred.
Unforgetable unic man/woman ! The artist with so many faces ! We still love you timeless artist !
カッコいいよなぁ！色気がハンパない
！
I have *always* loved his makeup. The jean Genie? Love this.
Здравствуйте, доброе утро. Огромное спасибо за то, что выложили этот клип. Я с мамой смотрела его ещё в детстве на старом канале MTV,а потом очень много лет не смотрела,искала в интернете,тоже не могла найти. Дай бог вам здоровья,кто выложили этот клип. До свидания. Удачных вам выходных.
Если вы украинец, извините. Это сообщение не для вас.
Если ты русский, то это для тебя.
Мы, из Италии, со всего Запада каждый день слышим ужасные новости, о которых русские ничего не знают, потому что их диктатура, во главе которой стоит кровожадный и свирепый преступник Путин, не в состоянии объявить Правду.
Теперь банды мародеров, воров, убийц и насильников бродят по Свободной стране, Украине, подвергшейся жестокому нападению страны, временами голодающей России.
Дорогой Руссо, пусть знает об этом кто угодно.
Вы вернетесь, чтобы оценить эту великолепную музыку
One of the best videos and songs....in my mind i relate this with the Jagger's "just another night"...fantastic both...
デビット・ボウイさん、坂本龍一さんのご冥福をお祈り申し上げます。
戦場のメリークリスマスでの共演は最高でした。
I really like this song. I feel like it never got the respect it deserved. Same with Panic in Detroit.
Yes it did. It was a hit, and played very loudly in all the clubs in New York.
Bowie always had that touch of class.
4 years without you... I miss you so much. I have to say I’ve never felt a bond towards someone as I do to Bowie. Your music has helped me through some dark times, hope you’re happy in heaven, the most talented being to exist....
David Bowie died on the same day as my grandmother...my last grandparent. Not a good day.
Man... those days and that music was seemingly that every one was happy....80’s
For me the world changed when David Bowie passed away RIP ICON
the first David Bowie video I ever saw.... I was a teenage girl who was feeling very left out at the social scene at Highschool... I fell in love with evvvverything. And so my journey continued with the otherworldly and accepting who I am... Thank you, David Bowie.
That drum fill at 1:29 so delicious and simple!
Je travaille sur cette chanson pour ma fête de l’école elle est trop Merci de l’avoir créé David Bowie
I love that there are roles for both David Bowie and David Jones here.
2:38 ここからのボウイの動き、歌舞伎風だよね。
この時代に極東の日本の文化にまで目を向けて取り入れようとするのはあまりにも一流のアーティスト過ぎる
I remember this when it was first shown on MTV in the 80's.The video i believe was 17 minutes long.A first and only effort.Only Bowie was allowed this gift and he accomplished his groundbreaking goal.
Me too. It was so cool. Only song I can remember the first time I heard it. If I didn't already had my baby girl I would have named her Blue Jean 💙
The greatest artistic chameleon of all time!!! How he managed to stay on top of the game generation after generation... something that only comes along once in a lifetime if that often. So glad I got to see this guy's entire career unfold for the ages. You earned your rest David. Go in peace you beautiful soul you.
Bowie at his best, we always loved this track.
This dude was just always way ahead of his time and operated on a different level.
David Bowie was from another PLANET. Literally an alien among us.😳😳😳
