    I went to a dance contest with my Sisters and my Girlfriend. My
    Mother and our friend Rose came with us as well. We got to the
    contest and just hung out enjoying each others company. The
    other kids and their Parents were dancing and really fun to watch
    and we really enjoyed it. When it was our turn this song started
    to play and my energy level went NUCLEAR!!! My Mother and
    Rose saw an INFERNO in my eyes and I started to shake!! My
    Girlfriend Debbie screamed "MOMMY" Allie is going to lose his
    Mind"!!! They Both screamed " OH SHIT"!! then When we got on
    the dance floor I SCREAMED " AERIAL WARS" !!! and all HELL
    broke LOOSE!!! My Mother, Rose, and my Sisters got in a GROOVE
    Debbie and I were Flipping and Flying all over the floor!!! Then my
    mother Screamed "CANNON" and I Fired Debbie, Rose, and my
    Sister Caroline High in the AIR!!! Everyone Started FREAKING OUT
    and Losing their Minds!!! Then I SCREAMED " TOMCAT" and Threw
    Everyone around Like Stuffed Toys!!! When we got done a couple
    of people said " There is only one group of kids who can dance like that
    and SCREAMED " SUPERBIRDS"!!!! Then Everyone was screaming
    and cheering for us!!! The Sponsors said to us that they had
    never seen such moves and INTENSITY Before!!! My Sister Eva
    explained to them that my Sister Debbie is a gymnast and can flip
    and fly all over a floor!!!! My Brother Allie is a walking POWER
    Plant and can turn people into flying projectiles when he gets
    Excited!!! Rose Told Them That These Kids can do This on Roller
    Skates and are Just as Dangerous!!!!

    • @sorakaraJIN
      @sorakaraJIN 9 лет назад +12

      It's wonderful that you enjoy Bowie's music, but do keep in mind that this was considered the pop music of the day. While I do agree that the pop music lately has been predominantly filled by commercial pop stars, not all the music of this generation is bad - that's what most of the older generation said of this sort of classic rock when it first came into the scene. Keep an open mind, and you might find some great artists of this generation out there who simply haven't made in big for themselves yet, all the while having the sort of musical ability to really connect and resonate with you.

      @robertdean6560 3 года назад +2

      It is definitely FRIDGE. Fridge was a nightclub. I know many people say bridge and even some people mis-spell it as bridge in lyric sheets. Bowie himself confirmed the lyrics as being FRIDGE

    • @surferbeto
      @surferbeto 2 года назад

      Please confirm, post your sources. Bowie said The Fridge was a nightclub? I am skeptical. I'm pretty sure this is an example of someone getting one posted set of online lyrics wrong and many other sites copying his error. Lyrics and tab sites are filled with copied mistakes like this.
      "Behind the bridge" would be a small town makeout spot where teens go to do it in the back seat of their cars.

    • @surferbeto
      @surferbeto 2 года назад

      Wikipedia says The Fridge nightclub in Brixton (London) opened in 1981, 6 years after this song was published, and was in its heyday several years after that. In other words, it was an 80s club that was part of the music scene a decade after this song was written. There is no mention of Bowie in reference to that club.

      +Nicholas Ntaganda Yes, the day Paul McCartney died in a car crash after an argument with John, while recording Sgt. Pepper. To 'prevent' mass suicides by young girls, George Martin recruited the winner of the McCartney 'Look Alike' contest' and taught him to play left hand. Haven't you noticed 'today's' Paul has green eyes. The real Paul had brown eyes. Sad state of affairs, indeed!

    • @ivandamico93
      @ivandamico93 7 лет назад +2

      That's debatable as well, there's a new movie out that has VERY convincing evidence, and if it is NOT real, then the Beatles played up to the myths extremely well. John knew the power of the controversy, and fed into it as much as possible. Personally, I don't think it's true, but there is some extremely convincing evidence that it IS true, but it's fun to look for clues in the music and album covers!

      ​@@RicherPickle There's no way anyone with a functional brain could possibly believe in any conspiracy theories like this.
      There's thousands of reasons this is damn near impossible. This new guy all of a sudden not just looks like, but sounds and plays just like McCartney? Out of all the hundreds of people involved in this criminal conspiracy (new Paul apparently steals McCartney's wealth and life), no one ever reveals it? Over 60 years? Deathbed confessions would be all over the place.
      And then the case for it .... Well, his nose looks different after he broke it. And his eyes are sometimes a different color! I guess everyone else with hazel eyes that sometimes look a different color have been replaced by look-alikes too.

    David Bowie, Mikel's, 96 and Columbus, Saturday night 1978! Well I can't say that we met him but there he was 20 feet or less away! I was in the band playing there that night. My most favorite from him was "Fame and Let's Dance", but still one can't forget the Serious Moonlight tour. It's funny how people are so connected or how paths can almost intersect. The Fame soundtrack also on a James Brown song "Woke up this morning, all in heat" was one line in that song. rest in peace! R. Youngblood

    For YEARS, I heard "fridge" instead of "bridge", Even as a kid I pictured them fucking in the kitchen! LOL. OTOH, "Cadi" ought to be spelled "Caddy", as it obviously references "Cadillac". On that note, I think this is the only popular rock song to reference America's "Big Three" automakers in 1 record: Ford, GM and Chrysler.

    Not in one million years would I have been able to decipher those lyrics on my own. Well, now I understand what part the cocaine contributed to this era of Bowiedom.

    I was a young American when this song debuted in the spring of 1975- a few months before my 13th birthday. On the verge of adolescence this song seemed to me really poignant and filled with cautionary tales about young adulthood: Poor self esteem leading to bad choices with instant consequences, teen pregnancy with loser boyfriends, depression leading to thoughts of suicide, the never-ending challenge to learn from our history and the consequences of failing to do so, the emotional minefields of teenage infatuations. But on the whole it is a positive, life-affirming song. The line about riding on the Bus of Survivors comforts and reassures me to this day.
    He wants, she wants, you want, I want the Young American. "Hey, that's me!" I felt like Bowie was speaking to me personally. Or maybe he just wanted to bang with me behind the bridge in a Ford Mustang. At the height of his cocaine addiction in those years Bowie himself seemed like a cautionary tale. And David is gone now, so if anyone is going to perform his brilliant songs live today then it is up to us! You all did a great job on this cover.

    I heard this song earlier on the radio and it got me thinking. The way Bowie was spitting out the lyrics so fast I bet he probably could of did a rap song.

    I believe David Bowie style of writing is a B made to confuse you or each line has a different meaning much like Bernie taupin writes for Elton John. It doesn't necessarily I'll go to a story they're not ballads they are little Jewel sentences. If you look at any of Bowie's older songs for most of them they do not come together like a story with the exception of Major Tom. I think it's more of a conceptual thing. The Wild lyrics of Young Americans is what makes this song so incredible oh and the singer and the music!❤

      Astrid Davis You May be. I grabbed onto my music at a very young age as well. I am now 60 years. Music will take you for a ride through a range of sadness and glee. But, all in all, you are glad you did. Your one true unconditional love
