"I've got the love of a Hoochie Koochie woman ..." -- likely means a burlesque dancer or prostitute working in a brothel (as opposed to a prostitute walking the street). "The hoochie coochie is a catch-all term to describe several sexually provocative belly dance-like dances from the mid-to late 1800s. Also spelled hootchy-kootchy and a number of other variations..." (Wikipedia). "Hooch" is archaic American slang for alcoholic liquor, especially inferior or illicit whiskey. "Cooch" is archaic American slang for a woman's private parts. The phrase likely came together in this meaning during the prohibition era in the U.S. which forced drinkers to frequent illicit taverns to get a drink. Legendary blues singer Muddy Waters was famous for singing the song "Hoochie Coochie Man" back in the fifties and sixties. "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" is a classic album from start to finish. It would be a good album to react to in its entirety. So far you've also reacted to "Moonage Daydream" from that album. "Starman", "Suffragette City", and "Ziggy Stardust" are the "hits" from that album, with "Soul Love", "Five Years", "Lady Stardust", "Star", "Hang On to Yourself", and "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" the deeper cuts.
Bowie was always on the cutting edge. That whole album was awesome. I had quite a few "hoochie koochies" in my girls in my younger days. And the Hoochie Koochie woman can make your life hard among other things..lol😉🤣🤣🤣 Me and bowie share a birthday " Capricorn " mythology capricorn was called "PAN" he would seduced wood Nymphs by playing his flute.. Yep been there before..lol
David's character, Ziggy Stardust, wasn't the most well-adjusted fellow and like many men trying to reach for that brass ring... blamed them hoochie-coochie women for his downfall.
panic IN Detroit great one to spin by David
This song is a Ron Davies cover.
